If no Computer Straight Forecast is returned, forecast bets will be settled in accordance with the National Sporting League Straight Forecast Chart, and if no Starting Prices are returned, the bets will be void, win or lose.

RULE 7 - Dead Heats
In the event of a dead heat, clients lose half their stakes, and are paid full odds to the other half, e.g. if a client invests 50p on a selection that starts at 10-1 and which dead heats for first place, half the stake is lost leaving 25p staked at 10-1. In the event of a dead-heat for second, third or fourth place, half the place stake is lost and the appropriate place odds are paid to the remaining half stake according to the number of runners and type of race as laid down in Rule 4. In the event of a multiple dead-heat stakes will be divided in proportion.

RULE 8 - Walk-Overs
For the purpose of settling doubles, trebles and accumulators, a walk-over is considered a race.

RULE 9 - Antepost Betting
Antepost bets are accepted on the principal of all in enter or not, run or not. Should a selection become a non-runner after the time of acceptance, the bet will be a losing one.
All Antepost prices are subject to fluctuation, and Antepost bets will be settled at the price ruling at the time of acceptance, which must be confirmed by the Manager, and must be recorded on the betting slip by our staff.
The right is reserved to correct any palpable error.
Doubles, trebles and accumulators will be calculated at accumulative odds, except when the same selection is taken to win two or more events, when reduced odds may apply.
When there has been Antepost betting on an event which does not eventually take place, all singles bets on that event are void, but accumulative bets will stand, the entries for the event not taking place will be treated as non-runners and the remaining selection(s) settled at the Antepost prices laid. If a horse is balloted out under Jockey Club Rule 125, single bets on that horse will be void. In such circumstances, accumulative Antepost bets will stand, the balloted out selection being treated as a non-runner and the remaining selection(s) settled at Antepost prices laid. In the event of a race being postponed, bets will be decided in accordance with Tattersalls' ruling. Each way Antepost bets are settled Win to Win and Place to Place. We do not accept "place only", "any-to-come", or "if cash" bets at Antepost odds.

RULE 10 - Actual Odds
All wagers will be settled at the actual returned odds i.e. 10/11, 6/5, 85/40.

RULE 11
Where a board price is taken, this will apply to the selection throughout the slip. Board Prices will be laid only when a selection is quoted at a specific price.
Those not so quoted e.g. "10 to 1 bar" or "12 to 1 bar" cannot be laid at 10 to 1 or 12 to 1. Where a bet at Board Price is accepted the odds must be confirmed by the Manager, and must be recorded on the betting slip by our staff. The right is reserved to rectify clerical and Board Price errors. Where a Board Price has been marked incorrectly or incorrect odds have been relayed from the course, such bets will be settled at Starting Price.
Where a Board Price has been taken for any race which subsequently re-run, the bet will be executed at Starting Price in the re-run unless mutually called off.
In the event of a withdrawal, a deduction from winning bets struck before the withdrawal will be made in accordance with Tattersalls' Rule 4.
First show bets accepted subject to the discretion of the Manager. Only Board prices that have been transmitted via S.I.S. will be accepted.

RULE 12 - Jockey's Mounts
Bets on a jockey's mounts are accepted and the number of doubles, trebles or accumulators must be specified. If a client requests three doubles and one treble on Piglet's mounts with no times or races specified, and Piglet has more than three mounts, then the bet will be settled in proportion. If however, he has only two mounts, the bet will be settled as if the third mount was a non-runner. Where no meeting is specified and a jockey is riding at more than one meeting (which may include an evening meeting) double, trebles etc. will be settled on the first meeting at which the jockey rides after the bet is accepted. Where a single bet is placed on a jockey's mount, and it is un-timed, it will be taken to be for the next race to be run in which that jockey has a mount.

RULE 13 - Conditional Bets
(a) Any to Come Bets
This type of bet continues until the stakes any winnings are exhausted. In the case of "any to come" each way bets when there is insufficient money in hand to cover the full stake for the next selection, priority will be given to the win stake and any balance will be invested for a place. All "any to come" bets are dealt with on this principle. When there is insufficient stake money in hand to cover reversed or combination forecasts involved. It must be stated distinctly from which horse or horses the "any to come" is to be taken. "Any-to-come" bets on to a Forecast Double, must not exceed the original stake. Where a client omits to mention the stake in an "any to come" bet, the amount staked on the preceding selection will be invested. Cash in hand from one horse cannot go on to the same horse or race in any circumstances. Unless the "any to come" portion is clearly stated, one or more "crosses" in an up and down bet means single stakes. When "double stakes" are required, this must be clearly indicated.
(b) Stop at a Winner Bets
"Each way stop at a winner" bets continue until one of the selections either occupies or dead-heats for first place.
In conditional bets where a selection is a non-runner, the stakes will not be revised and will stand as written.

RULE 14 - Withdrawals
When a horse is withdrawn before coming under orders and there is no time to reform the market, bets will be settled in accordance with Tattersalls' Rule 4.

In the case of a combination tricast with a non runner the total amount will be settled as a reversed forecast on the remaining selection. Should selections for a tricast include two non runners the stake will be invested as a win single at Starting Price on the remaining selection, returns will be subject to a tax deduction. If for any reason a tricast is accepted on a race which does not return a computer tricast dividend then the bet will be settled as a straight forecast, on the first two selections named and with combination tricasts the bet will be settled as combination forecasts. Tricasts are only accepted in singles. Tricast Doubles and upwards are not accepted and if taken in error will be void.

RULE 21 - Clients' Instructions
The following apply equally to horse and greyhound bets:-
(a) When a client times a horse for a race in which it does not run, the bet will stand for the race in which the selection runs. If a horse is double engaged, the bet stands for the race timed by the client.
(b) Should the horse's name be incorrectly spelt, the bet will be executed provided that we are satisfied as to the identity of the horse intended. Should there be two horses engaged with similar names the stake will be divided equally between the possible intentions.

Should the bet however be timed for an event which has already taken place, that bet will be void. Where a client has omitted to state a meeting and we are unable to satisfy ourselves as to the intentions, bets on un-named favourites will be settled as horse racing bets. Should, however, there be no horse racing, bets on un-named favourites will be settled on the next greyhound race to be run., and through the card bets will be settled on the first meeting to be covered by S.I.S. after the bet is accepted. In the event of there being two or more races scheduled for the same advertised time, the stakes will be divided equally. If however, the selection is un-timed, or incorrectly timed, but a meeting stated, the bet will be considered as being for the next race to be run at that meeting after the time of acceptance.
(ii) Where a client omits to state the times or meeting for accumulative bets on trap numbers and trap number forecasts, bets will be taken for consecutive races at one meeting, starting with the next advertised race covered by S.I.S. after the time of acceptance.
(iii) Where a bet is timed, but no meeting is stated, or a meeting is stated that is not taking place that day, then it will be taken as being for the meeting at that time. In event of there being more than one such meeting, stakes will be divided equally.
(iv) All bets received showing stakes, times of races, and meetings, but with no other instructions, will be taken to mean bets for favourites.

RULE 22 - Betting Duty and Levy
