• BETTING RULES

General Rules

1. If any selection which makes up part of a multiple becomes void, then the multiple itself does not become void. For example, if 3 matches are chosen to form a treble and one match later becomes void, the bet becomes a double; a 4-fold bet becomes a treble and so on. Even if all but one of the selections are void, the bet will still stand as a single.

2. No multiple bets can be accepted where individual legs are 'connected'. For example, one leg of a 'double' is for Nadal to beat Federer in the 4th Round at Wimbledon and the second or additional leg is for Nadal to win the overall Wimbledon title. The match forms part of the overall tournament and is therefore 'connected'. Should such a bet be accepted in error the stake will be divided equally between the connected selections.

3. Similarly, no two legs of a multiple bet can be placed from the same individual event. For example, Chelsea are playing Liverpool and you choose as your first leg 'Chelsea to win 2-0', from the 'Correct Score' market; you cannot now add an additional selection from within this game to form another leg of your multiple, whatever the market. This includes the 'Win/Draw/Win' market.

4. All sports are governed by the rules set out in + General Rules and Horse Racing unless the rules specific to that sport specify differently.

5. Please refer to out "Terms and Conditions" regarding limits and related issues.

Horse Racing

Ante-post Betting

1. Ante-post prices are offered on most major horse racing events up to 3 days prior to the scheduled day of the race. Ante-post bets are accepted on the basis of all in run, unless a "with a run" price is offered. Stakes are lost if an ante-post selection does not take part. No deductions are made to winning ante-post bets.

2. Where weather or outside influences cause an event to be postponed or rescheduled to another day then ante-post bets will stand, provided that the entries are not re-opened.

3. Ante-post bets on horse racing will be void if the race is officially abandoned or declared void, or the conditions of the race or venue are altered. Should bets be void due to these circumstances then any multiple bet, which includes this selection will be paid out on the remaining selections.

Feature Race Multiples

1. The horseracing year provides occasions when the same selection can be backed to win two different events.

2. In these events the multiple bet will be reduce by 1/3 (one third) of the accumulated odds. Clients are not permitted to place a wager on the same selection at the accumulative odds. If accepted in error, bets will be settled at the odds quoted as normal, for the first event to take place, and our next available odds after the first event for that selection for the subsequent event.

Example: El Pica to win the Cape Met - 10/1 El Pica to win the Durban July - 20/1 > Ante-post Double Price - 230/1 * 66% = 150/1 A normal multiplied odds multiple is not permitted.

SP or Starting Price

SP or Starting Price refers to the fixed odds price of a horse when the race starts, or the last available fixed odds price on that horse. For further descriptions on various bet types, please see our betting Glossary (link at the bottom of the page).

Withdrawals / Scratchings

In all horse races, excluding ante-post bets, if a horse is withdrawn without coming under starters orders it is treated as a non-runner. A deduction may be made from the winnings of bets struck at a fixed price and, if there is insufficient time to form a new market / starting price the starting price will be subject to the same deduction. The deduction will be defined in accordance with the following table.

Open Place

No Open places or fixed odds places will be accepted, except for feature events and in those races fixed place prices will be offered. In all other events the place payout of a selection will be calculated from the SP of the selection, which in all cases will be better than or equal to the official SP price. Please note that any place bets taken for races with 2 to 4 runners will not be refunded but will be paid out on the winner only or in other words only one place will be paid and the place dividend will be the same as the win SP

Greyhound Racing - (FIXED Odds/SP Betting)

A greyhound race in the UK typically comprises a six-dog field. The dogs are loaded into traps, and after release chase the electric hare, which runs on a rail on the outside of the track. The starting trap positions are numbered 1-6, as are the greyhounds. The standard jacket colours worn by the greyhounds are as follows:

• Trap One – Red
• Trap Two – Blue
• Trap Three – White
• Trap Four – Black
• Trap Five – Orange
• Trap Six – Black/White stripes

SIMPLE BET TYPES

WIN (Win Single) Select any greyhound to finish first. PLACE Select any greyhound to be either first or second. FORECAST Select two greyhounds to be first & second in order. TRICAST Select three greyhounds to be first, second & third in order.

GREYHOUND FORECASTS

• Forecast bets will only be accepted in races with at least three runners.
• If a bet is accepted in error on a race with only two greyhounds, or a race reduced to only two greyhounds, Forecast bets will stand and be settled as Singles, at the SP, on the greyhound selected to finish first.
• Straight Forecasts are settled in accordance with the Greyhound Computer Forecast returns.
• If a Forecast contains a named non-runner this will be settled as a win Single on the remaining runner. This would also apply where there is a vacant trap or a reserve greyhound.
• In a Forecast where a reserve greyhound runs, the Forecast will stand, unless the greyhounds are named.
• In a Combination Forecast, where a selection becomes a non-runner, the total stake of the bet will be divided equally between the possible Forecast combinations. This will be achieved using the remaining selections with the Forecasts including the non-runner becoming win singles.

GREYHOUND TRICASTS

• Tricast bets are only accepted in races where an official Tricast return is declared by the service provider. If no Tricast dividend is returned, bets will be settled as Straight Forecast on the first two selections.
• Selections must finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the correct order in races where an official Tricast dividend is declared.
• Selections can be named, although Trap numbers will be taken provided there can only be one interpretation of the required selections. In the event of any ambiguity (i.e.: if the same selection is repeated) but the duplicate solution and other selection win, the bet will be settled as a Forecast.
• Tricasts are accepted in Singles only and if a Tricast Doubles bet is taken in error the total stakes for the doubles will be divided and invested equally as Tricast Singles for the selected races.
• Where one of the named greyhounds, selected in Tricast, becomes a non-runner and regardless of whether a reserve runs in its place, the bet will become a Forecast on the remaining two selections.
• In a Tricast where Trap numbers are selected and a reserve greyhound runs, the Tricast will stand.
• When two named greyhounds become non-runners, regardless of whether reserves run in their places, the Tricast will be settled as a Single on the remaining runner.
• Instructions for permutations must be specific, otherwise the bet will be settled as a Straight Tricast to the stake invested.
• A Tricast which includes an Unnamed Favourite is not accepted and will be declared void, with stakes returned.

NAMED GREYHOUNDS

• Any named greyhound which becomes a non-runner will be void, even if the greyhound is replaced by a reserve running from the same trap number. Should both the name and trap number be listed we will refer to the trap number for settlement purposes.
• If a named greyhound runs from a different trap number than the one listed at the time the bet was struck, the bet will stand.
• Bets for unnamed second or third Favourites in Greyhound races are not acceptable and if taken in error will be void.

WITHDRAWALS AND RESERVE GREYHOUNDS

• If a greyhound is withdrawn from a race, no further Board Prices will be available until a new market has been formed. If an Early or Board Price is taken and a greyhound is then withdrawn, the bet will be settled at SP. If a Trap number is selected, then the bet will be settled on the trap regardless of whether a reserve is running. However, if a price is taken, this price relates to a specific greyhound and if that greyhound has become a non-runner, the bet will be void and the stake will be refunded. If a greyhound’s name is selected and that selection becomes a non-runner the bet will be void and the stake will be refunded.

RE-SCHEDULED RACES

If a race is re-scheduled to be run later the same day, bets will be settled as follows:

• All single bets stand, unless a refund is requested prior to the start of the re-scheduled race
• Any selections for a re-scheduled race in a multiple bet will stand for that race
• If the race does not take place all bets will be void
• If a Board or Early price has been taken on a re-scheduled race, bets will revert to SP

NO RACE

A ‘no race’ refers to the situation where the dogs are in the traps and the hare is running but the traps fail to open. Stakes will be refunded providing that they are claimed prior to the race being re-run at a later stage during the same meeting.

DEAD HEATS

In a dead heat for 1st place the stake money on a winning selection is divided by the number of winners in a dead heat. The full odds will be paid to the divided stake, with the remainder of the stake money being lost. (i.e. £10 bet at 6/1 on a greyhound horse that dead heats with one other greyhound for first place is paid at the rate of £5 at 6/1, giving a total return of £35.). A similar rule applies to the place part of a bet where as a result of a dead heat more than the required number of selections is placed.

OTHER BET MARKETS
