3. STARTING PRICES
Unless a show or early bird price is requested, all bets on UK and Irish horse and greyhound racing are settled at starting price returns. The starting price (SP) is the price available at the “off” of the race. Where a William Hill SP or Industry SP is returned this will take precedence over any other declared SP and will be used to settle bets where no show or early bird price is requested. Where no SP is returned and no show or early bird price is requested settlement of bets will be based on the final show of betting transmitted by SIS. Where no betting shows are transmitted horse race bets will be settled at tote odds and greyhound bets will be void.
4. FORECAST BETTING
a) i) A forecast requires you to pick the first and second in the correct order. Forecasts are accepted in horse and greyhound races of 3 or more runners.
ii) In horse races, bets are settled as straight forecasts in accordance with the computerised starting price forecast returns. Where a William Hill SP or Industry SP is returned this will take precedence over any other declared SP and the forecast dividend will be calculated on the final show of betting. Where no SP is returned the forecast dividend will be based on the final show of betting broadcast by SIS. Where no betting shows are broadcast horse race forecast bets will be settled at tote odds.
iii) In greyhound races all forecasts are settled at computerised starting price forecast returns. Where no SP is returned greyhound forecast bets will be void.
iv) Unnamed first favourites are accepted in forecast bets. Where a joint or co-favourite is returned, we will divide your stake equally. Unnamed second and third favourites are not accepted and if taken in error the forecast will be void.
b) Forecasts inadvertently accepted in RACES WITH ONLY 2 RUNNERS, will be settled as a win single on the selection nominated to finish 1st.
c) In races where a horse finishes alone, all forecast bets nominating that horse to finish 1st will be settled as a win single at starting price. All other forecast bets in the race are lost.
d) We accept computer forecast doubles, trebles and yankees. Unless provided for in our Special Bet Rules, or included in a forecast yankee, FORECAST ACCUMULATORS are not accepted. Where such bets are taken in error, the bet or the part of the bet affected will be settled as forecast trebles, with the stake involved being apportioned accordingly.
e) Should a NON RUNNER be selected in a forecast, the bet will be settled as a win single on the remaining selection. In reversed or combination bets each forecast is treated separately.
f) Instructions for a selection 'WITH THE FIELD' or a selection 'AGAINST THE FIELD' mean in both cases that the selection is required to win. Instructions 'THE FIELD WITH' a selection or 'THE FIELD AGAINST' a selection mean in both cases that the selection is required to be second.
5. FAVOURITE BETTING
a) Bets nominating the favourite are accepted on horse and greyhound races at starting price only (ie. not for other events or on bets at show prices). Where a William Hill SP or Industry SP is returned this will take precedence over any other declared SP and the favourite will be determined by the final show of betting. Where a bet is placed on an unnamed favourite in a race where no starting prices are returned please refer to Rule 3.
b) i) The favourite is the horse or greyhound that is returned at the shortest odds. Where you nominate the favourite and two or more runners start at the shortest odds, then your stake is divided equally over the 'joint' or 'co'-favourites created. For example, where two are returned at the shortest odds, then these two are joint first and second favourites and the next shortest price runner is the third favourite.
ii) Stakes will be returned on single favourite bets where the return, regardless of the result, is either the same or less than the original outlay. For example, Evs joint favourites, 3/1 co-favourite of four etc. Where this situation occurs with ‘joint’ or ‘co-favourites’ in an accumulative bet the selection will be treated as a non runner.
c) Bets for first, second and third favourites are accepted win only.
d) Where a horse is withdrawn not under starters orders but is still returned favourite then bets on that favourite are void. Bets will not transfer to the second favourite.
e) We accept greyhound bets for first favourites only. Unnamed second or third favourites are not accepted for greyhound racing and where taken in error such bets will be made void.
6. EACH WAY BETTING
a) Bets are settled to win unless each way is clearly stated. The place part of each way bets on horse and greyhound racing are settled as per the following place terms.
| HORSE RACING |
| Non-handicaps |
Runners |
Handicaps |
| WIN only |
2-4 runners |
WIN only |
| 1/4 odds, 1,2 |
5-7 runners |
1/4 odds, 1,2 |
| 1/5 odds, 1,2,3 |
8-11 runners |
1/5 odds, 1,2,3 |
| 1/5 odds, 1,2,3 |
12-15 runners |
1/4 odds, 1,2,3 |
| 1/5 odds, 1,2,3 |
16 or more runners |
1/4 odds, 1,2,3,4 |
| GREYHOUNDS |
| 2-4 runners |
WIN only |
| 5-7 runners |
1/4 odds, 1,2 |
| 8+ runners |
1/5 odds, 1,2,3 |
Where there are an insufficient number of finishers for the place terms advertised, only those runners officially placed will be treated as successful selections and bets on non-finishers will be lost. For other events on which bets are accepted, settlement will be based on the odds and place terms advertised and applicable when the bet is taken.
b) For the purpose of calculation, each way doubles, trebles, etc. are settled as two distinct bets, i.e. win on to win and place on to place. In the case of horse or greyhound racing, bets will be settled as 'equally divided' if this is clearly included in the instructions. An equally divided bet is where the total return from the first leg of the bet is divided into two equal parts and then invested as a win and place stake on the next leg.
c) If you place a bet each way for a race or event that is 'win only', the total stake will be invested for a win.
d) Each way bets are not accepted on unnamed favourites and if taken in error the place part will be invested as a win bet.
7. NON RUNNERS
Unless a bet has been placed under ante post terms, when a selection is made void or does not run, then in single bets the stake will be returned. In accumulative bets the stake will run on to the remaining selection(s) with a double becoming a single, a treble becoming a double and so on. Unless a specific reference is made in the individual section that covers the sport, abandoned or postponed events are void unless they are re-arranged and take place in the same week (Monday to Monday local time). However, bets in markets that have already been resolved at the time of abandonment, such as ‘first touchdown scorer’ etc. will stand.
8. DEAD HEATS
In a DEAD HEAT the stake money on a selection is divided by the number of runners involved in the dead heat. The full odds are then paid to the divided stake, with the remainder of the stake money being lost.
9. SHOW PRICES (INCLUDING EARLY BIRD PRICES)
a) Prices for sports and special events are compiled by William Hill and the price available at the time the bet was accepted will be used to calculate any winning return. Prices for all races and events are subject to fluctuation.
b) Show prices are the current prices on offer at the course during the period before a race. Early bird prices are special prices compiled by William Hill and usually offered on horse and greyhound races until 15 minutes before the “off” of a race.
c) If you wish to bet at show prices or early bird prices you must stipulate this when placing your bet and ensure that our staff confirm the quoted price on a telephone bet, or endorse your price on the betting slip if placed in one of our LBO’s.
d) Should a HORSE BE WITHDRAWN, resulting in a deduction under Tattersalls’ Rule 4, then for bets other than early bird, no show price can be laid after the time of withdrawal, unless the ‘market’ has been re-formed. Should a GREYHOUND BE WITHDRAWN all bets will be settled at starting price.
e) Each way bets at show or early bird prices are governed by our SP place betting terms and determined by the number of actual starters, and not by the number of the declared runners when the price is laid.
f) We accept bets in races of 2 or more runners for named and numbered selections and trap numbers at current show prices as transmitted by S.I.S. or a special William Hill service and not from any other broadcast source. Where you take a 'show price' or ‘early bird price’ on a selection, it will apply to that selection in all win and each way bets throughout your bet.
g) Should a HORSE be WITHDRAWN without coming under starters orders in an early bird race, stakes on that selection will be returned, with bets on other runners in the race subject to a deduction in accordance with Tattersalls' Rule 4, based on the first advertised price. However bets placed after a market has been reformed will be subject to a deduction based on the first advertised price of the non runner(s) in the reformed market. Bets on horse race events placed after the final declaration stage are not ante post and will be settled in accordance with these rules. Should a GREYHOUND be WITHDRAWN in an early bird race, all bets nominating that selection either by name or trap number will be void, if a price has been taken. Bets on remaining runners are settled at starting price.
h) Where an early bird price is taken on a horse race with reserve runners bets will be settled on the result “without the reserve runner(s),” unless an early bird price is available for the reserve runner(s), in which case bets will be settled on the official result. Placings on the result “without reserve runner(s)” will be determined by the number of runners, excluding reserves, that start the race.
i) Prices for forecast betting are available on selected races (SHOWCASTS) and you must request the latest prices when placing your bet. Where a showcast price is requested and no price is issued, bets will be settled at the price applicable at the time the bet was placed. No showcast prices will be available whilst a betting show is in progress. In the event of a horse being withdrawn after the first show of betting, all showcast bets placed prior to the withdrawal will be settled at the computer straight forecast return, regardless of the odds laid.
10. CONDITIONAL BETS, ANY-TO-COME, STOP-AT-A-WINNER ETC.
Such bets are available in our LBOs and with our Telephone Betting Service, but are not available online.
11. DOUBLE ENGAGEMENTS / IDENTICAL NAMES
Where you time a horse which is doubly engaged (entered for two races) it will be considered a bet for the race timed only. If the selection runs in the other race, it will be treated as a non runner. The same principle will also apply when a horse and greyhound have identical names.
12. ANTE POST BETTING (FUTURE EVENTS)
a) Ante post prices are those offered on:
i) Horse Racing prior to the final declaration stage.
ii) Greyhound events up to and including the semi-final stage. (Any bets placed after the semi-finals or on a single race event where a price has been taken will be settled as early bird bets and stakes refunded on non runners. In the event of a non runner all bets will be settled at starting price).
iii) Sports events prior to the start of an event, with the exception of bets on a
match, a single race event (e.g. London Marathon) or an individual
heat/stage.
iv) All special (non-sporting) events.
b) Ante post bets are accepted on the understanding that you will lose your stake if your selection does not participate. No ‘Tattersalls’ Rule 4 deductions are made from winning bets except when a runner in a horse race is balloted out.
c) i) Bets placed after the start of a sports event are not classified by us as ante post. Unless a specific reference is made in the rules for a particular sport, the start of an event is defined as the first time there is any competitive action. Stakes will be refunded on competitors/teams who take no further part after the bet is placed, unless they have been eliminated by competition rules. A Tattersalls Rule 4 deduction will be applied to winning bets placed after the competitor’s/team’s last competitive action and prior to the market being re-formed.
ii) Stakes are lost on competitors/teams who start an event and then withdraw.
iii) In total tournament /series markets eg. top series wicket taker, winner of the golden boot etc. individuals named in the team squad will be deemed to have participated whether or not they have taken part in any competitive action.
d) The maximum winnings limits for ante post bets are determined by the categories listed in Rule 2.
e) Ante post each way doubles, trebles etc. are settled win to win, place to place.
f) If a race is postponed to another day:
i) Ante post bets placed before the entries have closed will stand and will only be made
void if:-
a) The race is abandoned or made void.
b) A horse is balloted out under Jockey Club Rules of Racing.
c) The venue is altered.
ii) Ante post bets placed after the entries have closed will be void, except when:-
a) The race is run at a later date at the same venue.
b) The entries are not re-opened.
g) Ante post bets are settled at the price and place terms applicable at the time of acceptance.
h) Place only bets and forecast bets are not accepted at ante post odds. If taken in error, place only bets will be void. Forecast bets will be settled on the computer straight forecast.
i) Where the same selection is backed to win two or more ante post events in an accumulative bet a special combined price will apply irrespective of any individual prices quoted. Where no special combined price is available e.g. a horse to win a Derby trial and the Derby, settlement will be based on the first available odds after each leg has been completed.
j) Lucky 15/31/63 and other William Hill special bets are not available at ante post odds. Any taken in error will be settled without the bonuses or consolations.
k) The terms of special event/sports bets laid following a written/email request from an individual customer will be clarified in our written/emailed response to the customer prior to the bet being placed.
13. HARNESS RACING AND TROTTING
a) Bets are only accepted for meetings covered by a full service and where we specifically
advertise acceptance. Win, each way, exacta and trifecta bets are settled at pari-mutuel (tote) odds.
b) Show prices are for guidance purposes only and any show prices laid in error will be settled at tote odds.
14. VIRTUAL RACING
a) Virtual Racing is a computer generated presentation of a random number draw result, in which the first number generated decides which runner wins the race, the second and third, which ones are placed etc.
b) Betting on Virtual Racing follows the same rules as for real horse or greyhound racing.
c) Handicap Races: a race is described as a handicap to signify the place terms on this race. It does not indicate an equal chance for every horse.
15. RELATED CONTINGENCIES
Accumulative/Multiple bets are not accepted where the outcome of one part of the bet contributes to the outcome of another. If taken in error the stakes will be equally divided where they clash and made into separate bets. However, where the related parts of the bet are resolved at different times, unless ‘special double’ or ‘special accumulative’ odds are available, bets will be settled as instructed with the odds for the second or subsequent legs being determined at each individual stage.
16. RIGGING
Where there is evidence of price, race, match or event rigging we reserve the right to make the bet void or withhold payment of returns pending the outcome of any subsequent investigation.
17 JOCKEY / TRAINER CHALLENGE (HORSE AND GREYHOUND MARKET)
a) Bets will be settled on the competitor who achieves the most wins, based on the official result.
b) In the event of two or more competitors achieving the same number of wins, the number of second placings, will determine the result and if still a tie the number of third placings.
c) Bets stand provided each trainer/jockey has at least one runner.
d) If an individual race is a dead heat, each competitor will be awarded one win.
18. OTHER BETTING RULES

a) The trap challenge is unaffected by reserves, vacant traps, void races or meetings abandoned once they have started.
b) In the event of one meeting not starting all trap challenge bets containing this meeting are void.

e) Any trap challenge bet accepted after the No More Bets Time for the first race will be void win or lose.
2. RE-RUNS
a) Where a race has been declared a no-race and is re-run, all bets will stand for the greyhounds that take part in the re-run but single bets may be cancelled by mutual agreement. The prices returned on the re-run will govern the settlement. 'Show prices' laid on a no-race will stand for the re-run race unless there is a non runner, in which case all bets will be settled at S.P. Bets may be cancelled by mutual agreement prior to the market being reformed. A re-run greyhound race is taken in the order in which it was originally placed in the programme, irrespective of the time at which it was re-run.
b) Where a race has been declared a no-race and is not re-run, ALL bets for that race will be made void and will not count for any additional race, (e.g. a reserve race).

Should a horse be withdrawn and a new market formed, then any bets laid at 'show' prices prior to the new show will be subject to the above deductions. In the event of a further withdrawal after the market has been re-formed, bets placed at 'show' prices in the original market will be subject to a further deduction based on the price of the withdrawn horse in the original market. Bets placed in the new market will be subject to a deduction based on the current price.
c) The above scale will also apply in the case of non runners in early bird races.
d) Where the total deduction on the market in which you have placed your bet is 5p in the £, as a concession, the deduction will be waived.
2. RE-RUNS
In the event of a false start etc. resulting in a race being re-run, 'under orders' is negated and stakes will be refunded on horses taking no part in the re-run, with returns on the remaining runners subject to Tattersalls' Rule 4 (see Rule 1 for the scale of deduction). Place terms are governed by the number of runners taking part in the re-run.
3. ABANDONED, VOID HORSE RACES AND WALK-OVERS
ABANDONED, VOID RACES AND WALK-OVERS count as races but any horse so involved will be treated as a non runner for settling purposes. If a race, other than ante post, is postponed to another day and overnight declarations stand, then bets stand, provided the venue is not altered.
4. OWNERS' AND TRAINERS' SELECTED
a) Where OWNERS AND TRAINERS have more than one runner in a race, the 'SELECTED' is the horse starting at the shortest price and if two or more start at the same price the stake will be equally divided.
b) The Racing Post programme on the day of the races will determine the owner/trainer of a horse.
5. FAVOURITE POINTS MARKET
a) The following scoring system applies, regardless of the number of runners/finishers in the race provided an official result is declared. Where no official result is declared the race will be void and bets settled in accordance with section g).
25 points for a win
10 points for second
5 points for third
b) Where there are joint favourites the one with the lowest racecard number will be taken.
c) Where a William Hill SP or Industry SP is returned this will take precedence over any other declared SP and the favourite will be determined by the final show of betting.
d) If no SP is returned, the favourite will be based on the final show of betting transmitted by SIS. Where no betting shows are available the favourite will be the first runner quoted in the Racing Post betting forecast.
e) If the favourite is withdrawn and no new market formed, the second favourite will be substituted for the favourite.
f) All bets will be settled on the official result after the weigh-in.
g) If the meeting has 3 or more races abandoned or declared void, then all bets will be void unless a winning market has already been established, in which case all bets stand. When only 1 or 2 races are abandoned or declared void, bets will be settled with a default figure of 10 points used for each abandoned or void race.
h) In the event of a walkover, the favourite will be awarded 25 points.
i) In the event of a dead heat the points will be divided. I.e. A favourite who dead heats for first place will be awarded 17.5 points (( 25+10 ) / 2).

7. HORSE RACING OUTSIDE THE UK AND IRELAND
a) S.P. BETTING: Where we advertise that SP bets are accepted, in countries where an official starting price is returned, bets will be settled in accordance with our rules and any additional rules applicable to the country concerned, which we will display on our text screens and on our website.
b i) WILLIAM HILL SP: In countries where there is no starting price market in operation and
where we advertise that pari-mutuel bets are not accepted, all win and each way bets
where no early bird prices are taken will be settled at the William Hill SP, which is based on our final early bird show of betting. Forecast and tricast bets will be settled at the special William Hill forecast and tricast dividends.
ii) In countries where there is no S.P. or tote betting, e.g.Dubai, unless S.I.S. provide betting shows and an Industry S.P., bets will only be accepted in races where William Hill prices are offered. Where no price is taken win and each way bets will be settled at our closing prices. In the event of any withdrawals Tattersalls' Rule 4 may apply. Non runner - no bet. Where no SIS or William Hill prices are available bets will be void.
c) PARI – MUTUEL (TOTE) BETTING: In countries where there is no starting price market in operation and where there is no facility offered by us to transmit your bet directly into the racecourse pool, unless we advertise that pari-mutuel bets are not accepted, the following bets are available:
i) WIN AND EACH WAY: The place part of each way bets will be settled in accordance with the returned place dividends. Horses in the same ownership are generally coupled in the 'win pool' only. However, in some countries (for example U.S.A.) horses are coupled in all pools and coupling may occur for reasons other than ownership. Where a coupled horse is a non runner bets will transfer to the other coupled runner. Place bets and the place part of each way bets will only transfer if the runners are coupled in all pools.
ii) PLACE ONLY: Place only bets are accepted for singles. We do not accept doubles, trebles etc involving place only and if taken in error they will be made void. In countries where additional place pools operate (for example U.S.A.), place bets or the place part of each way bets on races with 8 or more runners will be settled in accordance with the '123 show pool' and 5–7 runners on the ‘place 1-2’ pool.
iii) FORECASTS: Straight or dual forecasts are accepted depending on the type of forecast in operation, unless special rules are advertised, in which case bets will be settled only at the Industry/William Hill special straight forecast odds. Should your instructions be for a straight or reversed forecast and a dual forecast is returned, then your total stake will be invested as a dual forecast. Should the instruction be for a dual forecast and a straight forecast is returned then the stake will be divided and settled as a reversed straight forecast.
iv) Where acceptance is specifically advertised, bets are accepted at show prices which
are taken from the track win pool pari-mutuel odds indicator and therefore must be
WIN ONLY. Where horses are coupled the show price laid will cover all of the horses
coupled together. Should an each way bet be inadvertently accepted, containing a
show price taken from the track win pool pari-mutuel odds indicator, the place part
will be settled at the pari-mutuel place return subject to section c) ii). Should a
horse be withdrawn after the first show of betting all bets will be settled at pari-mutuel returns.
v) UNNAMED FAVOURITES: Unnamed favourites are not accepted at pari-mutuel odds,
and if taken in error will be void. However, where betting is available on show prices taken from the track win pool pari-mutuel odds indicator the favourite will be determined by the final betting show displayed and bets settled on the pari-mutuel dividend declared for this runner.
d) SHOW PRICES AND THE INDUSTRY S.P.
Where SIS provide betting shows and an Industry S.P (based on bookmakers prices), the following bets will be available:
i) WIN AND EACH WAY: Win and each way bets will be accepted at show prices and S.P. Where a price or tote is not requested, bets will be settled at the Industry S.P. In the event of any withdrawals Tattersalls Rule 4 will apply. Non runner-no bet.
ii) UNNAMED FAVOURITES: Unnamed favourites are accepted.
iii) FORECASTS: A special straight forecast dividend will be declared. Forecast bets will be settled on the special straight forecast dividend unless tote, exacta, DFC or jumelle is clearly indicated.

e) EARLY BIRD PRICES:
Early bird prices will be offered for certain feature races abroad and must be requested. Where no early bird price is requested and an Industry S.P. is returned, bets will be settled at the Industry S.P. Where no Industry S.P. is available bets will be settled at the William Hill S.P. Where no William Hill S.P. is available bets will be settled at pari-mutuel returns.

| International Tote Pool Betting Rules : |
|
1. STAKES
a) All bets entered into an international tote pool are subject to minimum stakes. This is usually equivalent to the stake unit used for the declared dividend. For example, dividends from tracks in the USA are returned to a $2 unit. Therefore, the minimum stake is $2 (rising in $1 increments).
b) Maximum stakes for international tote pool bets will vary depending on the country where the pool is operating. For example, in the USA the maximum stake per bet must not exceed a $10,000 unit stake or a $50,000 total stake.
2. ACCEPTANCE
a) Bets on all USA races are transmitted directly into the relevant host track pool and bets on Australian races will go directly into a USA pari-mutuel pool hosted at Woodbine, Canada. Bets on all other international tote pools will go directly into the relevant pool for the country concerned, unless specified otherwise by us.
b) International tote pools close when the off of a race is announced. However, in the USA host track pools close for betting purposes when the runners begin to enter the stalls. Any bets placed after the pool has closed will be void. MTP or ‘minutes to post’ is the estimated time until the start of the race. This is only an estimate as the start time of races in some countries can vary and the onus remains with you to ensure that you allow sufficient time for your bet to be processed.
c) All odds and potential dividends advertised by us before the pool closes are taken from the approximate odds indicator at the relevant track and therefore are for guidance purposes only.
d) We can only accept bet types that are made available by the relevant track and for which the appropriate betting pool has been opened. All bets need to be confirmed as being accepted into the pool to be valid. Please see rule 7 for a list of bet types.
e) Once a bet has been transmitted directly into the pool it cannot be cancelled or amended.
f) International tote pool bets cannot be combined with any other betting event.
g) The minimum number of selections must be included per bet type for the bet to be valid e.g. a valid Daily Double bet must contain at least one selection from each of the specified races.
3. NON RUNNERS
a) Known non runner selections cannot be chosen.
b) Win, place and show bets where the selection(s) is a non runner are void.
c) Exactas, Quinellas, Trifectas, Superfectas and Daily Doubles that include a non runner are void. In boxed / combination bets all elements incorporating the non runner(s) are void, with bets remaining valid on elements of multiple bets unaffected by the non runner(s).
d) If all three Pick 3 races are cancelled or declared a “no contest” bets are void. If one or two of the Pick 3 races are cancelled or declared a “no contest”, the Pick 3 pool will remain valid.
e) Should a selection in any of the Pick 3 or higher races (e.g. Pick 4 etc) become a non runner, the actual favourite, which is determined by the total amount bet in the win pool, will be substituted for the non runner. If the win pool total for two or more favourites is identical, the substitute selection will be the runner with the lowest racecard number.
f) If the number of runners participating in a race is less than the minimum required for the bet type selected, the bet will be void. For example, a Trifecta bet where the number of runners falls below three will be void.
4. COUPLED RUNNERS
Horses in the same ownership are generally coupled in the win pool only. However, in some countries (for example USA) the horses are coupled in all pools and coupling may occur for reasons other than ownership. Where a coupled horse is a non runner bets will transfer to the other coupled runner. Place bets and the place part of each way bets will only transfer if the runners are coupled in all pools.
5. SETTLEMENT
a) In the USA the result declared by the host track will be deemed the official result and bets will be settled using the dividend declared. In countries outside the USA settlement will be based on the dividend declared for the official result after the weigh-in.
b) There is no maximum winnings limit on bets transmitted into an international tote pool.
c) The exchange rate used at the time the bet is captured will be used for the settlement of any returns.
6. DEDUCTIONS
Winning dividends are calculated by dividing the total amount of stakes entered into the pool (less deductions) by the number of winning units. Where no winning dividend is declared settlement will be based on the rules of the relevant track where the pool is based. The percentage deductions take from each pool vary depending on the track / country.
7. BET TYPES
These will vary depending on the country in which the pool operates. Listed below are the most common bet types: -
WIN: Select a runner to finish first.
PLACE: Select a runner to finish first or second.
SHOW: Select a runner to finish first, second or third.
EXACTA: Select two runners to finish first and second in the correct order.
QUINELLA: Select two runners to finish first and second in any order.
TRIFECTA: Select three runners to first, second and third in the correct order.
SUPERFECTA: Select four runners to finish first, second, third and fourth in the correct order.
DAILY DOUBLE: Select runners to win each of two consecutive races. Both selections must win for a dividend to be declared.
PICK 3: Select runners to win each of three consecutive races. All selections must win for a dividend to be declared.
PICK 4: Select runners to win each of four consecutive races. All selections must win for a dividend to be declared.
PICK 6: Select runners to win each of six consecutive races. All selections must win for a dividend to be declared.
PICK 9 / PICK ALL: Select runners to win or be placed in each of between eight and twelve consecutive races. All selections must win or be placed for a dividend to be declared. Please note that the option to payout a win or place dividend is dependant on the rules of the particular track. Some tracks only pay out a win dividend, whereas others will pay out on a win or a place dividend.

2. MINIMUM SELECTIONS
Singles and upwards are accepted on all matches, with the exception of our Australian coupon, where a minimum of trebles is required.

If void matches reduce an accumulator, the bet will be settled on the remaining selections. Under no circumstances will the judgement of any 'Pools Panel' be accepted as a result.
b) Where a match is abandoned but a winning market has already been established, e.g. 'first player to score', 'time of first goal' etc, bets will stand. The same settlement will also apply to soccerstats/team performance/match action bets where a winning market has already been established. In each way bets on the first goalscorer the place part of bets on players who have not scored will be void if less than three goals have been scored at the time the match is abandoned. However, the place part of a bet on a player who has scored prior to the match being abandoned will be treated as a successful bet.
5. RE-ARRANGED MATCHES

b) Extra time does not count.

Bets on ‘first goalscorer’ where the selection comes on after the first goal is scored will be void, unless the first goal is an own goal, in which case bets will stand. All players that take part in a match will be considered ‘runners’ for last goalscorer purposes.

Should the favourite be withdrawn without coming under orders and it is too late for the market to be re-formed, the next shortest priced runner will be substituted. In all cases, including bets nominating the favourite, if two or more runners are involved (joint or co-favourites) the one with the lowest racecard or trap number will be substituted.

total stakes will be divided equally and settled as single tricasts in each of the races concerned.
3. a) If one of the selections for a tricast is a non-runner, the bet will be settled as a
computer straight forecast on the remaining two selections which must finish 1st
and 2nd in the order written. For example, if the selections for a tricast are
A-B- C, then if 'B' is a non-runner, the bet will be settled as a computer straight
forecast on selections A-C.

single at starting price on the remaining selection.
4. Should a tricast be accepted for a race where there is no official computer tricast return then:

horses selected to be 1st and 2nd. In such case the placing of the horse selected
to be 3rd will have no bearing on the settlement.
b) Where the selections include a non runner, settlement will be in accordance with Rule 3.
In full cover tricasts and other perms, each individual tricast is treated separately for
the purpose of Rules 3 & 4.
5. In races where there are only two finishers bets nominating those horses to finish
first and second in the correct order will be settled as a straight forecast. Where one horse finishes alone bets nominating that horse to finish first will be settled as a win single. In each of these instances all other tricast bets on the race are lost.
