The purpose of these Rules, which cover all transactions from 1st March 2006, is to detail the terms and conditions under which bets are accepted by Chris Pluck. They include maximum winnings, the type of bets available and the events and races on which bets are accepted. Also covered in these rules are details of how bets will be settled if you make an error when placing bets or our staff make an error when processing bets or quoting prices. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are familiar with these rules or the terms of a particular bet, as we cannot guarantee that our staff will draw them to your attention.

Any amendments to these rules will be advertised in our branches and forwarded to I.B.A.S. and should be read as part of these Rules until such time as the Rule Book is updated.

Details of I.B.A.S. are given on page 10 ‘Claims and Disputes’.

General Rules

Conditions of Acceptance

Subject to these rules, bets are accepted for horse race meetings held under the rules of the Jockey Club, Irish Turf Club or their equivalent bodies abroad provided that, in each case, the programmes and results are published in the Racing Post. Bets will also be accepted for all B.A.G.S./B.E.G.S. meetings, bets for non-B.A.G.S./B.E.G.S. meetings will be accepted at the managers discretion. Bets are accepted for all sporting events and special events where we specifically advertise acceptance e.g. Football, Golf, Cricket, Political betting, Christmas bets etc. and will be settled in accordance with the special rules issued for such events. For any eventuality not covered by the special rules, the general terms of our betting rules will apply.
Once accepted, a bet can only be cancelled by mutual consent.

The placing of a bet with Chris Pluck, signifies your acceptance of our rules, whether or not you have familiarised yourself with them.
If a bet is struck but does not appear on our security system we reserve the right to refuse payment.

Should there ever be any doubt as to whether a bet refers to Horse or Greyhound racing, Horse Racing will be given precedence. However, where numbered selections are nominated and there is some doubt as to whether the bet refers to Greyhound or Horse racing, then Greyhound Racing will be given precedence. Named selections will always take precedence over numbers.

We reserve the right to refuse the whole or any part of any bet but will endeavour to always give an explanation as to why.

Bets at Tote Odds are not accepted (except Placepots, and via Tote Direct Machines) and any taken in error will be settled as follows: Exacta as Reversed Forecast to half the unit stake, Win and Each Way bets at starting price. All other bets will be made void.

All bets are deemed for the day of acceptance, unless otherwise stated.

We cannot allow for mistakes nor accept responsibility for any errors or omissions in respect of the announcing, publishing, or issuing of prices, runners or results despite our every effort to ensure total accuracy. However, we reserve the right to correct obvious errors.

Special bets are settled in accordance with the special rules issued for such bets.

All bets accepted will be settled on the official result, unless otherwise stated.

We cannot guarantee to pay or correct errors if they are brought to our attention more than six months after the official result of the last selection to run on the bet.
Postal, fax, telex or email bets are not accepted.
Time of Acceptance

If, for any reason, a bet is inadvertently accepted after betting has closed, selection(s) affected will be made void if, at the time the bet was placed, the race or event was resolved or at a stage where the client could have had an indication of the outcome.

Where the official OFF of an event is not announced, bets will be accepted up to the advertised OFF time. Any bet taken after this may be deemed void, unless we are satisfied that the bet was accepted before the actual OFF. However, for some sporting events, we may allow a grace period during which bets will be accepted provided that there has been no significant development in the event. For example on football matches, we may accept bets up to 5 minutes after kick off provided that no goal has been scored or there has not been some other significant incident, such as a sending off.

Limits

The following are the limits that can be won by a single client or syndicate in respect of any one day's business. Our Staff are not authorised to accept bets that exceed these limits. Any bets taken in error, the limit will stand.

For multiple bets including selections from markets where different limits apply, the maximum payout on the bet will default to the lowest applicable limit.

Where bets are placed on different days, the maximum payout limit will apply to the day that the final selection in the bets were completed and not to the day that the bets were placed.

Any group of customers who have placed the same combination of selections and we believe have been acting as a syndicate will be treated as one customer for the purpose of the above limits.

Displayed Prices and Information

Bets are accepted at 'show prices', as transmitted by the official information service to our office, e.g. SIS. Where a show price is requested, it will apply to that selection in all win and each way bets where it occurs on the betting slip, unless it is clearly indicated otherwise.

Ante-post betting ceases at the final declaration stage and all bets placed after the final declaration stage will be non-runner no bet, Tattersall Rule 4 may apply.

We cannot allow for mistakes, nor accept responsibility for any errors or omissions in respect of accuracy in publishing or issuing of prices or information, despite our every effort to ensure total accuracy and reserve the right to correct these errors.

Dead Heats

When a dead heat occurs for first place, the stake money on the winning selection will be divided by the number of winners and full odds paid on the reduced stake. The remainder of the stake is lost.

Where an each way bet involves a dead heat winner, the win part of the bet will be settled as above and the place part will be settled in full, in accordance with the relevant place terms. Should the dead heat involve placed selections and results in more than the allocated number of places, then the stakes will be divided, as before and settled to the full place terms.

Tattersalls Rule 4

When a selection is withdrawn prior to the start of an event, remaining selections may be subject to a Rule 4. The following table lists the rate of deduction dependent on the price of the withdrawn selection.

Price at time of withdrawal Amount deducted from winnings

1/9 or Shorter 90p in the £
2/11 to 2/17 85p in the £
1/4 to 1/5 80p in the £
3/10 to 2/7 75p in the £
2/5 to 1/3 70p in the £
8/15 to 4/9 65p in the £
8/13 to 4/7 60p in the £
4/5 to 4/6 55p in the £
20/21 to 5/6 50p in the £
Evens to 6/5 45p in the £
5/4 to 6/4 40p in the £
13/8 to 7/4 35p in the £
15/8 to 9/4 30p in the £
5/2 to 3/1 25p in the £
10/3 to 4/1 20p in the £
9/2 to 11/2 15p in the £
6/1 to 9/1 10p in the £
10/1 to 14/1 5p in the £

If over 14/1 then no deduction

Should a horse be withdrawn and a new market formed, then any bets laid at ‘show’ prices prior to the new show will 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 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.

The above scale will also apply in the case of non-runners in Early Bird races and will be used for other events where we specifically advertise that deductions in line with ‘Tattersalls Rule 4 (c) will apply.

Settlement of Bets:

Bets are settled on the official result as declared immediately following the event subject to any other provision in our rules. Where a result is amended after the official result is declared, for example as a result of a successful appeal, the amendment will be ignored for settlement purposes.

Where bets or parts of bets are made void, stakes on singles will be refunded, but on multiple bets, the void selection will be treated as a non-runner.

All bets are settled strictly on their merits and no plea of precedence will be accepted.

We cannot guarantee to pay or correct any returns, if they have not been claimed within six months of the official result.

Place bets at Starting Price are not accepted unless an equal amount is invested to win. Any place stake inadvertently accepted in excess of the win stake will be void.

For the purpose of settling each way doubles, trebles etc. they are calculated as 2 distinct bets, i.e. win-to-win and place-to-place.

If two selections are engaged with the same name and both selections are still to run at the time of acceptance, provided that no time has been given, the bets will be settled on the runner without a suffix for the country of origin e.g. USA, IRE.

In all cases of incorrect or incomplete instructions, the bet will be taken as win, unless each way is stated.

For Horse and Greyhound racing, where two selections are nominated in the same race and no instructions given, then the bet will be settled as a straight forecast, or a combination forecast where three or more selections are nominated.

Where a win or each way bet is requested with nominated selections in the same market, the bet will be settled as singles with the stake divided equally.

Incorrect Spelling/Staking

Should a named selection be WRONGLY GIVEN the bet will stand provided that only one runner could possibly be intended. However, where the incorrectly given selection combines the names of two runners then the stake or part of the stake affected will be equally divided between the two runners concerned. Where more than two runners are involved the selection will be made void.

Where INSUFFICIENT STAKES are received, then the total stake will be proportioned over the whole of the slip.

Should there be OVERSTAKING by a client, subject to paragraph (d), the total return on the slip will be proportioned by the amount overpaid, thereby increasing any returns due. No over staking will be returned.

Where a client gives TOO FEW SELECTIONS for the number of Doubles, Trebles etc., required then, subject to (c) a non-runner or non-runners will be added.

Where a client gives TOO MANY SELECTIONS for a full cover or named type bet (i.e. Yankee, Canadian, Heinz etc.) then the stakes paid will be proportioned over the appropriate full cover bet for that number of selections. Where singles are included, the stake will be apportioned over the appropriate full cover bet including singles.

Where a client’s instructions indicate an intention for a THROUGH THE CARD bet but stakes for FEWER RACES than there are on the programme, then the stake will apportioned to cover all of the races. Similarly, when a client stakes for MORE RACES than scheduled, the bet will be treated as over staked as per paragraph (c).

In multiple bets where two or more SELECTIONS RUN IN THE SAME RACE stakes will be equally divided where the selections clash. For example, if you stipulate 3x £2 win Doubles and a £2 win Treble on three selections, A, B, and C, with selections A and B being in the same race, then the bet is settled as a £1 win A, £1 win B, £2 Double BC, £2 Double AC and the Treble becomes 2 x £1 Doubles AC and BC.
However where only two selections are nominated and the instructions are for a Double and both run in the same race, the bet will be settled as a Straight Forecast if a win double is requested and a Reversed Forecast if an Each Way Double is requested.
Where only three selections are nominated and the instructions are for a Treble and all three selections are in the same race, if that race is a Tricast race the bet will be settled as a Straight Tricast if a Win Treble is requested and a Combination Tricast settled in proportion if an Each Way Treble is requested.
In all other cases the stake will be apportioned over the number of selections nominated and the bet settled as singles at Starting Price.

Where the SAME SELECTION IS NOMINATED TWICE then all bets will be settled as instructed with one of the duplicated selections becoming a non-runner. In the case of bets such as Alphabets, the bets within that bet will be treated separately.

Where NO INSTRUCTIONS are given with a single selection, the bet will be settled as a win single. Where two or more selections are involved the bet will be settled as win full cover of Doubles and upwards with the stake equally divided e.g. 3 selections - £10 stakes – 3 x £2.50 Doubles, 1 x £2.50 Treble.
However, where the stake divides exactly by the total number of bets for full cover INCLUDING SINGLES indicating that this type of bet was intended, then the bet will be settled as such e.g. 3 selections - £7 stakes - £1 win Patent. Cont.
Where NO INSTRUCTIONS are given and both or all SELECTIONS ARE IN THE SAME RACE then they will be settled as forecast bets to the appropriate stake, i.e. two selections will be settled as one Straight Forecast in the order given. For three or more selections then the amount of stakes will be divided equally to include all forecast combinations e.g. three selections given will be settled as six Straight Forecasts.

Where the client has clearly indicated that only ONE ACCUMULATIVE BET is required, then settlement will be for one accumulative bet according to the number of selections given.

Where a client INCORRECTLY TIMES a named selection which is not doubly engaged, the bet will stand for the race in which the selection actually runs.

Ante-Post

Ante-Post prices are those offered on:

A Horse Race prior to the final declaration stage.

A Greyhound race prior to the day of the race
(Unless special conditions are advertised)

Sporting events as advertised 4 or more days before the scheduled start of the match or competition.

Ante-post bets are accepted on the basis of "all in run or not", Stakes are lost on an Ante-Post bet if the selection does not take part. No Tattersalls’ Rule 4 deductions are made from winnings.

For Each Way Ante Post bets,for the place part of an each way bet, the fraction odds and number of places relating to each event, are those pertaining on the date of acceptance.

Place only bets and forecast bets are not accepted Ante-post, unless advertised otherwise.

Bets are executed at the price ruling at the time of acceptance. We reserve the right to correct any obvious errors.

All Ante-post selections will be made void if:

The race or event is abandoned.

The race or event is officially declared void.

The conditions or venue of the race or event are altered, after the bet is struck.

The race is reopened or additional runners (other than known reserves) are added.

A horse is balloted out. In this instance, the liabilities against the horses remaining are reduced at the rate in accordance with Tattersalls Rule 4 depending on the odds currently available on the balloted out selection(s).

Where the same selection is backed to win two or more events in an Ante-post accumulator bet, a special price will apply, irrespective of the individual odds quoted on the slip. 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.

Rigging

Where there is evidence of Price, Race, Match or Event rigging, we reserve the right to withhold payment, pending the outcome of any subsequent investigation and ultimately to declare bets on that event as void.

Where evidence of rigging exists or where there is evidence of a series of bets each containing the same selection(s), having been placed by or for the same individual or by a syndicate of individuals, we reserve the right to require claims for payment to be submitted in writing to our Customer Service Department.

In the event of an official enquiry in relation to suspicious betting activity surrounding an event, we reserve the right to disclose confidential information to the sports governing body or their representatives, on the condition that they consent to keeping such information confidential.

Related Contingencies

Except where advertised, multiple bets are not accepted where the outcome of one part of the bet contributes to the outcome of the other. If taken in error, the stakes will be equally divided where they clash e.g. £10 double on Liverpool to win the match and Liverpool to win at half time and full time, would be settled as 2 x £5 singles.

However, where the related parts of the bet are resolved at different times, the bet will be settled as instructed, with the price for the subsequent legs being determined at each individual stage. E.g. Agassi to win his semi final at 5/6 and Agassi to win the tournament outright at 9/4 would be settled as Agassi for the semi final at 5/6 and the price for Agassi to win the final at the odds after the completion of the semi final.

Special related prices may be available on some events. These will be displayed on our screens or may be available on request.

Betting in Play

We bet In Play on a selection of live events. Whilst we endeavour to ensure that the odds displayed are current, the nature of live betting means that, on occasions, these will differ from those available at the time you ask. The odds confirmed to you at the time of bet acceptance will determine settlement.

Claims and Disputes

No claims or queries will be considered more than 26 weeks after the date of the original transaction. Any disputes, which cannot be mutually resolved, will be referred to an arbitrator. The current industry arbitrator is the Independent Betting Arbitration Service (IBAS). Contact details for IBAS are listed below.

RULES FOR INDIVIDUAL SPORTS

General Sports Betting Rules

In the case of abandoned matches, or matches where the original scheduled amount of play is changed, (for example, a reduction in the number of overs in a cricket match) except where specifically stated otherwise, bets will be settled on the current result if further play could not affect that result. For example if a football match has been abandoned but the number of corners has already exceeded the maximum number specified, then further play could not affect that result.

Any multiple bet reduced by a void, abandoned or postponed match will stand for the remaining selections, irrespective of the minimum number of selections required.

Place terms on sports betting are those that were relevant at the time that the bet was placed. If you place an each-way bet and you are uncertain as to the current place terms you should ask the member of staff to confirm them at the time.

Place terms on Horse and greyhound racing, with the exception of ante post are those that were relevant at the start of the race.

In the event that the number of scheduled sets/legs to be played is changed (for example, a match that was originally scheduled to be played over five sets being reduced to three), then match bets will stand but set betting will be made void.
Unless specifically stated otherwise in our rules for each individual sport, bets on any 2 runner market that ends in a tie or draw, or exactly the number of points quoted, where no price was offered for that eventuality, will be made void and stakes returned. Dead heat rules will apply for bets placed on markets with 3 or more runners unless stated otherwise.

With the exception of Antepost markets, unless specifically stated otherwise in our rules for individual sports, bets on abandoned or postponed matches or races, will be made void unless rescheduled for the next day. Bets on postponed events or tournaments, such as a bet on a golfer or tennis player to win a tournament will stand for one full week from the original scheduled start date, after which time they will be made void. Bets on Antepost markets will stand until the event is completed or officially cancelled.

Set, Frame and Leg Markets: The full number of sets/frames/legs required to win the match must be achieved. If circumstances, for whatever reason, prevail so the match is awarded to a contestant before this is achieved, then set/frame and leg betting on that match will be made void.

Handicaps. The handicap is added to the team after the final result.
In the event of a change of opponent from the one advertised, then all bets are void.

Unless stated otherwise, if a match changes to a neutral or alternate venue all bets on that match placed for the previous venue will be void. If we issue new prices for the game being played at the neutral ground, then it is the backers responsibility to be aware of this.

We reserve the right to refuse the whole or part of any bet and to make ambiguous bets void.

We reserve the right to suspend any or all betting on a market at any time without notice.

In running match betting. If a match is not completed all bets will be void unless further play could not effect the result.

Horse Racing

General Horse Racing Rules:

Subject to these rules, bets are accepted for race meetings held under the Jockey Club or their equivalent bodies abroad.

Should there be any doubt as to whether a bet refers to horse or greyhound racing, horse racing will be given precedence.
The advertised times of races, runners, riders and results as published in the
Racing Post, will govern settlement, obvious errors and omissions being allowed.

If a selection is correctly named, then bets will stand on that selection no matter if an incorrect meeting, time or price is appended. When race time and number identify a selection, that number will also take precedence over any price taken.

Horse Racing in the UK, Ireland and South Africa

Place Terms for Each Way Bets:

SP place only bets are not accepted (with the exception of certain speciality bets). Where place only bets, or bets where the place part is in excess of the win, have been accepted in error, the difference will be void. For the purpose of settling each way doubles, trebles etc. they are calculated as 2 distinct bets, i.e. win to win and place to place.

The place terms of each way bets at SP or board prices, will be settled as follows:

2-4 Runners all on to win
5-7 Runners 1/4 1st, 2nd
8 or more Runners 1/5 1st, 2nd, 3rd

Handicaps
12 or more Runners 1/4 1st, 2nd, 3rd
16 or more Runners 1/4 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th

For bets other than Antepost, the number of placed runners, as determined in our place betting rules, will be governed by the number of runners coming under starters orders and not by the number of runners, when the price is laid.

Settlement of Bets:

In the event of no starting price being returned from horse race winners, then the last industry price given will be used for settlement purposes. In the event that no industry price was used then the tote return will be used for settling purposes and vice-versa. If neither price is declared bets will be void.

Numbered Selections:

On an un-timed bet, where numbered selections are concerned, the bet will stand on the next race due off where that number occurs.

All bets on unnamed horse race selections will stand for the meeting which has a race at the time you state, with stakes divided accordingly if there is more than one meeting with a race at that time. However British Racing will be given preference over Irish Racing.

In single bets, untimed selections will stand for the next race to run after the bet is placed, or if a meeting is given, the next race off at that meeting.

Where multiple bets are concerned and the client has made it clear that only one meeting is intended, the bet will be settled for that meeting, even if other race times coincide. E.g. a Yankee 2.00 2.35 3.05 and 3.40. All times applicable to Newmarket, although there might be a 2.00 or 3.40 race at another meeting, the intention is clearly for all races at Newmarket.

Where a meeting is given and a time, but no selection, the bet will be settled on the favourite.

Unnamed Favourites:

The favourite is the horse quoted at the shortest odds in the official starting price, the second favourite is the horse quoted at the next shortest price. If two horses are quoted at the shortest SP, then they will be joint first and second favourites.

Bets on 1st or 2nd favourite are accepted win only at starting price. Each way bets on unnamed 1st or 2nd favourites are not accepted and if taken in error, the place part will be settled as a win stake. Early prices or board prices cannot be taken on unnamed favourites.

If a client has backed an unnamed favourite and two or more co favourites are returned, the stake will be divided equally among them and paid at full odds.

If a favourite is withdrawn, not under starters orders and no new market is formed, that favourite will be treated as a non runner unless in placepots where your selection will revert to the next shortest priced selection, and the lowest race card number in the event of two or more equally priced selections.

In single bets, any un-timed favourite will be deemed to be for the next race due off, which is receiving full coverage, from the time the bet was placed. If a meeting is stated, but no time given, the bet will stand on the next race at that meeting.

Withdrawals:

When a horse is withdrawn, before coming under starters orders, or is deemed by the starter to have taken no part in the race, stakes will be refunded on that selection.

Board/Show/SP Prices:

When a horse has been withdrawn then the remaining bets will be subject to Tattersalls Rule 4, incurring deductions according to the price of the non runner at the time of withdrawal. However, should a new market be formed before the 'off' of a race, then only bets with a price taken prior to the time of withdrawal will be affected.

Early Prices:

The same applies for early prices with the exception that the value of the Rule 4 will be decided by the price of the withdrawn selection at the time that the bet was placed.

Double Engagements:

Where a selection is doubly engaged and the client requests a specific race time, it will be considered a bet for that race only. If the selection runs in the other race it will be treated as a non-runner.

Should the client not state a time or states an incorrect time, so long as an 'if absent' request is not stated, the bet will be settled on the first race the selection runs in, on that day.

If two selections, one of which is doubly engaged, are included in an accumulator of multiple bets, but run in the same race, then the selection which is doubly engaged will be automatically timed for the race in which the entries do not clash.

Restarted Races:

In the event of a false start etc. resulting in a race being re-run, 'Under starters Orders' is negated and stakes will be refunded on horses not taking part in the re-run, with returns on the remaining runners subject to Tattersalls Rule 4. The number of runners taking part in the re-run governs place terms.

Walkovers:

These count as races, but any horse so involved, will be treated as a non-runner.

Postponements:

If a race is postponed to another day, with the exception of ante-post bets, all selections will be made void, unless announced otherwise for exceptional cases such as the Grand National. If races are set back in time because of weather conditions, the settling of all bets for the meeting will be governed by the original advertised race times.

Conditional Bets, Any to Come (If Cash):

In any to come bets it must be clearly stated from which selection(s) the Any-to-come is to be taken. Cash in hand from one selection cannot go on the same selection or any selection in the same race. Any-to-come bets will be executed in strict rotation until the stake plus winnings are exhausted, subject to:

Should there be insufficient cash in hand to cover all selections the bet will be executed as far as the cash will allow in accordance to the instructions, but where an each-way bet on a selection cannot be fully covered, the win part will be given preference i.e. £1.00 each-way with only £1.40 in hand will be settled as £1.00 win and 40p Place.

Where sufficient stakes are not available to cover a multiple bet such as a Yankee, the bet will be settled in full with the return proportioned accordingly.

Staking instructions for an any-to-come bet must be clearly and explicitly staked stipulating the staking to be re-invested. If the amount or ‘All On’ is not stipulated, then the stake on the selection immediately preceding will be re-invested. Should the preceding bet be an accumulative one, the the maximum individual stake on that bet will determine the Any-To-Come.

When Any-To-Come goes on to win or Each-Way doubles, trebles and accumulators, only the amount in hand from the original instructions will be re-invested. The win part will be settled first in its entirety and the place portion last.

Where there is insufficient in hand to cover either part of the bet the amount in hand will be proportioned to cover that part of the bet, which is affected.

In the event of a client backing two selections Stakes About and they both run in the same race, then the original stakes will be applied to each selection singly and the Any-To-Come instructions ignored.

We do not accept conditional bets on Football, Other Sports and Ante-Post.

Forecast Bets:

Subject to the following rules, forecasts are accepted in singles and doubles. Unless provided in a Forecast Patent, forecast trebles and upwards are not accepted. Where such bets are taken in error, the bet or part of the bet will be settled as Forecast Doubles, the stake involved being apportioned accordingly.

Forecasts are available in races of three or more runners and will be settled in accordance with the requested forecast dividend, for example computer straight forecast.

Forecasts, inadvertently accepted in races with only two runners, will be settled as a win single on the selection nominated to finish first.

Should one runner finish alone, forecasts in which it is nominated as the winner are settled on the declared dividend unless none is given in which case forecasts will be settled as a single at SP or Pari-Mutuel price.

Where a forecast is selected and no forecast dividend is returned, bets will be settled in accordance with the N.S.L. starting price forecast chart.
If a forecast contains two selections that are in different races, then the bet will be settled as a win double.

If the forecast contains a non runner, then the remaining selection will be settled as a win single at SP.

If a client asks for a forecast single and gives only one selection, it will be settled as a win single. If a reversed forecast is requested and only one selection is given, it will be settled as an each-way single.

Instructions for a selection 'with the field' or a selection 'against the field', means, in both cases, that the selection is required to win. Instructions for 'the field with' or 'the field against' means, in both cases, that the selection is required to come second.

Unnamed favourites are not accepted in forecast betting.

Where a permutation is used, which could apply either to a forecast or a tricast and neither is specified, the bet will be settled on a forecast.

Tricast Bets:

A tricast is a bet where selections must finish first, second and third in the correct order, in races where a computer dividend is declared. They are accepted as singles only.

Tricast bets accepted for races where no tricast dividend is declared will be settled as a forecast, with the third selection ignored.

Where the name and number of a selection has been given and they do not correspond, the name will take precedence for settling purposes.

Should a tricast contain a non-runner, the total stake will be invested on a straight forecast on the remaining selections in the order written. In the case of a full cover combination, the total stake will be divided equally as a reversed forecast on the remaining selections.

Should there be two non-runners, the tricast will be settled as a win single on the remaining selection. For the purposes of settling, a permutation is considered as a series of straight tricasts.

Where you back Jockey’s Mounts and state the number of Doubles and Trebles etc. Non-runners will be added if the jockey does not ride in sufficient races. Where you do not state the number of Doubles or Trebles etc. the number of bets will be determined by the number of actual rides.

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.

The Racing Post programme on the day of the races will determine the Owner/Trainer of a horse. Unless you state otherwise and dependent upon the time when your bet is placed, your bet will be settled for the first applicable meeting should there be afternoon and evening meetings on the same day.

Fixed Odds Distance Betting:

A fixed odds bet is available on selected Horse Race meetings based on predicting the correct total of the winning distances for all races at that meeting. The maximum distance for a single race is 12 lengths for Flat racing and 30 lengths for National Hunt.

In the event of a walkover, 2 lengths will be awarded to a Flat race and 6 lengths will be awarded to a National Hunt race. In the event that one race is made void or abandoned then 2 lengths will be awarded for a flat race and 6 lengths for a
National Hunt race.

If two or more races are abandoned then all bets will be void unless further races could not affect the result. The distance will be the official declared distance at the weigh in. Any subsequent alterations will not count for settlement purposes.

The following list represents the numeric unit that is used in the calculation for distances less than one length.

Short Head 0.10 Lengths
Head 0.20 Lengths
Neck 0.30 Lengths
Half Lengths 0.50 Lengths
1 Length 1.00 Length etc.

Fixed Odds Favourite Betting:

A fixed odds bet is also available at selected meetings and is based on a points system for the finishing positions of favourites in each race. The aim is to correctly predict the total number of points for the finishing positions of favourites in each race at the specified meeting. If the favourite is withdrawn then 10 points are awarded for that race. If there are joint or co favourites then the selection will be the one with the lowest race card number.

In the event of a dead heat then the points for each placing will be added and divided by the number of selections in the dead heat. In the event of a Walkover, then 10 points will be awarded for that race.

In the event that one race is made void or abandoned then 10 points will be awarded for that race. If two or more races are abandoned then all bets will be void unless further races could not affect the result. The following is list of the number of points awarded for the relevant placing of favourites.

First place 25 Points
Second Place 10 Points
Third Place 5 Points

Jockey Challenge:

A fixed odds bet is available on Jockeys to score the most points. The result of the jockey challenge is based on the jockeys actual rides. If any jockey does not ride in at least one race all bets will be void. Void races do not affect the jockey challenge unless it means that a jockey fails to ride at least in one race.
In the event of a jockey being involved in a dead heat, then the number of points for each placing will be added together and divided by the number of selections involved in the dead heat.

A walkover counts as a winning ride. Jockey challenge bets can not be placed in multiple bets with favourites or threesome markets from the same meeting. If accepted in error related bet rules will apply.

Points are scored as follows:
1st 25 Points
2nd 10 Points
3rd 5 Points

Horse Race Match Bets:

Horses match bets may take the form of a head to head match, or a selected group such as a threesome. The winner is the selection that obtains the best finishing position. If all horses fail to complete the course the selection that has completed most of the course is deemed the winner. If selections fall or refuse at the same fence in National Hunt races dead heat rules apply. Dead heat rules apply with regard to finishing positions.
Bets at UK Tote Prices:

Bets at Tote Odds are not accepted (except Placepots, and via Tote Direct Machines) and any taken in error will be settled as follows: Exacta as Reversed Straight Forecast to half the unit stake, Win and Each Way bets at starting price. All other bets will be made void.

Place only Tote bets are not accepted and if taken in error, will be void.

Tote Placepots are accepted at all UK horse race meetings where a tote pool operates.

To win the placepot, clients must select a placed horse in each of the first six races at the nominated meeting. Selections in races of four or less runners must win. Selections in races of five, six or seven runners must occupy 1st or 2nd place. In races of eight or more runners, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd places and in handicaps of 16 or more runners and any race nominated by the Tote, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th places.

When a race meeting is not specified or cannot be identified, the bet will be taken for the principal meeting published in the Racing Post, unless the numbers stated do not 'fit' the card for that meeting, in which case, it will be for the one or more meetings where the numbers do fit the card, with the stakes apportioned, if necessary.

Clients can nominate an unnamed favourite in a Placepot by stating 'fav'. Where joint favourites are returned, the one with the lowest race card number will become the selection. Should the favourite be withdrawn before coming under orders, the next shortest price runner will become the selection, unless there is more than one, in which case the one with the lowest race card number will become the selection.

In the event that no Placepot dividend is declared, the bet will be settled as an SP place accumulator. In the event of a non-runner or an ambiguous selection, it will be replaced by the favourite, or in the case of joint favourites the one with the lowest race card number. Placepot dividends are currently declared to a £1 unit stake.

Information and rules for racing In Other Countries:

Bets are accepted for all races abroad where we advertise acceptance.
In races where an industry SP is made available, all bets will be settled at these prices, unless requested otherwise. In instances where no industry SP is made available, bets will be settled at Pari-Mutuel/Tote returns.

Win and Each-way for foreign pools: Horses in the same ownership are generally coupled on the win pool only. In certain countries, e.g. USA and Belgium, horses are coupled for all pools. The place part of each way bets will be settled in accordance to the returned place dividends. Bets will be settled in accordance to the rules in place at each track.

It must be noted that in the USA, two place pools are in operation, namely the "place 1-2 pool" for 1st and second only and the "show 1-2-3 pool" for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

It is your responsibility to specify which dividend you require when placing your each way bet. If no dividend is specified by you, then we will default your bet to the show 1-2-3 dividend. If no show dividend is declared by the race track, then your each way bet will be defaulted to the place 1-2 dividend. Any selections finishing third in this circumstance will be made losers. Coupled horses are treated as one runner for win, place and show dividends.

Place only bets are not accepted and, if taken in error will be void.

Forecasts: Straight and Reverse Forecasts, Exactas and Quinella's are accepted, depending on the type of forecast in operation. Should the instructions be for Straight or Reversed Forecast/Exacta and a Quinella forecast is returned, then the total stake will be invested as a Quinella forecast and vice versa.

In countries where bookmakers operate and an official SP is returned, bets are accepted in accordance with our general rules and we will advertise any additional rules, applicable to the country concerned.

Unnamed favourites are not accepted in races abroad, unless an official SP is returned. Any bets taken in error, will be void.

Bets placed for MEETINGS (other than B.A.G.S. or B.E.G.S. meetings) due to run on a DIFFERENT DAY must state the future date and day. Where this is omitted and the timing of the selections can only apply to one meeting on the date the bets was placed, then the bet will stand for the races timed with the meeting nominated being disregarded. In all other instances the bet will be void.

Where a race has been declared void 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.

Settlement of Bets:

Bets are accepted only on matches where Chris Pluck offers prices and all winning bets will be settled at accumulative odds based on the individual prices shown on our coupons. In the event of a bet being accepted that contains a match for which no quotation has been made, that match will be treated as a 'Non-Runner' and the remaining selections will be settled subject to fulfilling the minimum selections requirements.

All odds are subject to fluctuation and amendment and are based on the result at full-time. The terms 'Full-Time', '90 minutes play' and 'normal time' are all used to denote the period of play which includes time added by match officials for stoppages, but not scheduled extra time, penalty shoot-outs etc. Settlement will be at the price prevailing at the time the bet was placed and confirmed.

Dates and kick-off times of matches shown on our coupon are for guidance purposes only.

Selections for match betting are indicated by the following convention: symbol '1' to indicate a win for the team shown on the left (home team), 'X' for a draw and '2' to indicate a win for the team shown on the right (away team). In the event of a match being played on a neutral ground the team shown on the left will be regarded as the home side, and the team shown on the right as the away side.

Bets will be accepted up to the advertised kick-off time. If a bet is inadvertently accepted which includes a match after its kick-off time, the match will be treated as a 'Non-Runner' and the bet will be settled on the remaining selections, except in the following circumstances:

'Betting in Running' is available. In which case settlement will be at the current odds quoted at the time the bet is accepted.

'Betting in Running' is not available but the bet is accepted up to 5 minutes after kick-off time and no goals have been scored or there has not been some other significant incident, such as a sending off.

We reserve the right to refuse the whole or part of any bet. No postal, telephone, telex or fax wagers are accepted.

Minimum Selections:

The minimum number of teams allowed in any football bet is as advertised or as detailed at the head of each list on our coupons. Incomplete lists will stand provided the minimum requirements are met.

Bets, which do not meet the minimum requirement for the list nominated will stand, provided the bet is acceptable for another list on the coupon. A line that does not meet the minimum requirements will be void or reduced to include only the valid selections.

A valid entry consists only of valid matches and matches already resolved on preceding days will not count as such to make up minimum requirements.

Postponed Or Abandoned Matches:

An unplayed, postponed or abandoned match will be treated as a 'Non-Runner' for settling purposes unless it is played during the same 'Football Week' (Monday - Monday (GMT / BST Time), in which case the bet will stand unless cancelled by mutual consent. If 'Non-Runners' reduce an accumulator, the remaining selections will be settled irrespective of the minimums detailed in Rule 2. Under no circumstances will the judgement of any 'Pools Panel' be accepted as a result.

Any match which is abandoned before the completion of 90 minutes play will be void with multiple bets being settled on the remaining selections. This ruling applies to all lists with the exception of :

Bets involving 'First Player To Score', 'Next Goalscorer' or time of first goal, where bets will stand provided the first / next goal has been scored at the time of abandonment.

Handicap List :

For the purpose of deciding results on the Handicap List, a number of goals (or half-goals) is added to, or subtracted from, the total goals scored by the away team.

Bets predicting the Double Result must indicate the result at both Half-Time and Full-Time.
