Telebetting Rules

Daily Special Bets

Daily Special Bets selections may be combined in a multiple bet. However, if the selections involve races at the same meeting (where contingencies are related) a combined price which reflects the relativity will be applied for settlement, regardless of any individual prices quoted at the time the bet was placed.

20.1 Meeting Challenge
When we offer the opportunity to bet on which meeting will have the most winning favourites, the following Rules apply: -
a) In the event of joint or co favourites the favourite with the lowest racecard number will count ( similar to the Tote treatment of unnamed favourites in Placepots).
b) A withdrawn favourite counts as a losing favourite.
c) If fewer than 3 races are completed at either meeting, all bets will be void.
d) Void races do not affect the result of a meeting challenge, unless Rule (c) applies. 
e) A favourite which dead-heats for first place counts as a winning favourite.
f) In the event of no starting price being returned the horse with the lowest price in the Racing Post betting forecast will count as favourite.
g) Walkovers will be ignored for challenge purposes.
h) For Greyhounds, where a B.E.G.S Challenge is offered it will be the results from this coverage only that will count for settlement purposes

20.2  Jockey Challenge
When we offer the opportunity to bet on which jockey will ride the most winners at a meeting, the following Rules will apply:-
a) The result of a jockey challenge is determined by a jockeys actual rides.
b) If either jockey in a jockey challenge does not ride in at least 1 race, all bets will be void.
c) Void races do not alter the result of a jockey challenge, unless Rule (b) applies.
d) A jockeys mount which dead-heats for first place counts as a complete winner for challenge purposes.
e) A jockeys mount which walks over counts as a winning ride.
f) A jockey challenge selection may be combined in a multiple bet with a meeting challenge selection.  However, if the jockey challenge and meeting challenge involve races at the same meeting, a special price will be applied which accurately reflects the related nature of the selections.  The combined odds of the two individual selections will not be used for settlement purposes, even if entered on to the system in error by our staff.

20.3 Trap Challenge
When we offer the opportunity to bet on which trap will provide the most winners, the following Rules will apply:-
a) Bets are acceptable win only.
b) Dead Heat rules apply to all bets.
c) Dead Heats in individual races will be treated as winners.
d) The result will stand irrespective of any void races or abandoned meetings.
e) Where a B.E.G.S Challenge is offered it will be the results from this coverage only that will count for settlement purposes.

20.4 Special Doubles and Trebles
When we offer Special Doubles or Trebles, the following Rules will apply:-
a) If any of the named horses do not run, all bets will be settled at Starting Price on the remaining selections.
b) Special Double or Treble prices refer to win only bets.  The place part of   any each way bet accepted will be settled at Starting Price place terms.
c) In the event of non runners in races included in special doubles or trebles, Tattersalls Rule 4 (c) may apply, with deductions based upon prices at the time of withdrawal.


20.5 Winning Distance
When we offer the opportunity to bet on winning distances at a meeting, the following Rules will apply:-
a) Bets are placed on the aggregate of the winning distances on any one race meeting.
b) Winning distances equate to the following numerical values:-
Short Head =  0.1
Head =   0.2
Neck =   0.3
Quarter length =  0.25
Three quarter lengths = 0.75
A distance is defined as 30 lengths
c) Maximum distance for any one race is 12 lengths for a Flat race meeting and 30 lengths for a National Hunt meeting (including National Hunt Flat races).
d) All distances bets are on a first past the post basis (see Rule 13.1).
e) All bets on a particular meeting will be void if all races on that card are not completed, except where the result on that meeting has already been decided at the point that the race is abandoned or declared void.
f) In the event of a walkover the following distances will be applied, 12 lengths for National Hunt Races (including National Hunt Flat Races) and 5 lengths a Flat race meeting.

20.6 Tipster Challenge
When we offer the opportunity to bet on which Tipster will predict the most winners at a specified meeting the following rules will apply: -
a) If fewer than 3 selections of either tipster run, all tipster challenge bets will be void provided the result is not already decided.
b) A withdrawn selection counts as a losing selection
c) A selection which dead heats for first place will count as a winning selection
d) Void races do not affect the result of the tipster challenge, unless rule (a) applies
