Subject to the following Rules, forecasts are acceptable in singles, doubles and trebles only. Accumulators are acceptable only as part of a forecast bet special package (e.g. Forecast Yankee). If otherwise accepted in error they are settled as trebles, with the stakes being equally divided. If a forecast should contain a non-runner this will be settled as a win single on the remaining runner.

17.1 Horses
Computer Straight Forecasts are acceptable only in races of three or more runners. However, should a bet be accepted in error on a 2 horse race, or a race be reduced to only 2 runners, then Computer Straight Forecast bets will stand, and be settled as a single, at Starting Price, on the horse named to finish first.  Similarly, in Computer Straight Forecasts in which only one selection is made, or in races in which one horse finishes alone, bets will be settled as S.P. singles. If no Computer Straight Forecast is declared bets will be settled on the Tote Exacta Returns, if neither is returned Forecast bets will be void for settlement purposes.

17.2  Greyhounds
Forecasts are acceptable only in races of 3 or more runners.  However, should a bet be accepted in error on a 2 greyhound race, or a race be reduced to 2 runners, forecast bets will stand, and be settled as a single, at Starting Price, on the greyhound named to finish first.

Straight Forecasts are settled in accordance with Greyhound Computer Forecast returns.  In all circumstances where the Greyhound Computer Forecasts are not declared settlement will be based on the N.S.L. Straight Forecast Chart. Forecasts specifying Tote returns, if taken in error, are settled at Computer Straight Forecast returns, or N.S.L. Straight Forecast returns where appropriate.
