Ante-Post bets are bets placed at a guaranteed price prior to the event becoming subject to the final declaration stage.
Returns for win and place doubles, trebles etc., are calculated at accumulative odds i.e. in the same manner as for S.P. bets; for the place part of an each-way bet the fractional odds and number of places relating to each event are those pertaining at the time of acceptance. Place Only, conditional or if cash bets are not acceptable at ante-post odds.
A selection scratched from or not taking part in an ante-post event is a losing one, whether or not that selection entered the event.
We reserve the right to correct any obvious or material errors and, in the event of incorrect odds being laid in error, bets will be settled at the odds which were correct at the time the bet was placed.
Horse Racing
Unless advertised differently, the following rules apply:-
(a) Where an event is postponed to another day and overnight declarations stand, then bets stand. If the original overnight declarations do not stand, bets will be void.
(b) If the race is abandoned, declared void or if the conditions of the race are altered after bets are taken or if the horse selected is balloted out under the Jockey Club rule limiting the number of runners in the race, single ante-post bets will be void. Accumulative or combination ante-post bets will stand and are settled at the ante-post price(s) laid on the remaining selection(s), with
the void selection counting as a non-runner throughout the bet.
In the event of horses being balloted out the liabilities against the horses remaining may be reduced at the rate announced in accordance with Tattersalls Rule 4(c). If the venue of the race is altered bets will be settled in accordance with Tattersalls ruling.
(c) Ante-post bets placed before the entries have closed should stand and only be made void if the race is abandoned or made void, if the horse is balloted out/eliminated under Jockey Club Rule 125, or the venue is changed.
Ante-post bets placed after the entries have closed should be void, except when the race is run at a later date at the same venue and entries for the race are not reopened, in which case bets would stand.
Greyhounds
When prices are offered to win a competition, bets accepted before the draw for the penultimate round (semi-final) has been made will be on an all in run or not basis, and non runners will be treated as losers.
Bets accepted at prices issued after the draw for the penultimate round (semi final) but prior to the draw for the final will not be subject to Ante-Post rules, and any non runner will be treated as void for settlement purposes. Tattersalls Rule 4 (c) will apply to bets on the remaining greyhounds, with the amount of the deduction based on the price of the withdrawn greyhound at the time that the bet was struck. When a greyhound is withdrawn after the draw for the final is made all bets struck after the draw but prior to withdrawal at Coral prices will be settled at starting price, and bets on the withdrawn greyhound will be void.
Ante Post vouchers will be sent on request for bets with a stake unit exceeding £20. To request a voucher call 08457 581527.
