Telebetting Rules

Foreign racing

We accept bets on racing abroad providing the runners and/or results are printed in the Racing Post, as advertised in our shops or by press announcement. If a bet is accepted on a race in error, for which we cannot verify the result the bet will be deemed void. 

When Industry SP's are in operation these will take precedence for settlement purposes unless 'PM' or 'Pari-mutuel' is clearly marked on the bet.

4.1 S.P. Betting
In countries where bookmakers operate e.g. South Africa and an official starting price is returned, bets are accepted and settled in accordance with Coral rules.


4.2 Pari-Mutuel/Tote Betting
In countries where there is no starting price market in operation bets are accepted at Pari-Mutuel terms for the following:
a) Win & Each Way 
The place part of each way bets will be settled in accordance with the returned place dividends. Horses in the same ownership are coupled in the win pool only, where this system is in operation and as advertised by press announcement. Where a coupled horse is a non-runner, win and each way bets specifying the non-runner, will be made void.
b) Forecasts 
Straight or Dual Forecasts are accepted depending on the type of forecast in operation.
Should your instructions be for a straight or reversed forecast and a dual forecast is returned your stake will be invested on a dual forecast.
Should your instruction be for a Dual forecast and SFC is in operation your stake will be divided and settled as a reversed forecast.
c) Unnamed favourites 
Unnamed favourites are not acceptable and if taken in error will be made void.


4.3 Show Prices and Industry S.P.
Where SIS or an alternative external supplier provides betting shows and an industry S.P. (e.g. Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe & Breeders cup) the following rules will apply:
a) Bets are acceptable win and each-way at the show prices or industry S.P.
Bets on which a price has not been taken, or pari-mutuel requested, will be settled at the Industry S.P. In the event of any withdrawals Tattersalls rule 4 will apply. Non-runner, no bet.
b) Unnamed favourites are acceptable 

Forecasts 
A CSF based on the returned Industry S.P, is declared. Forecast bets will be settled on this CSF unless otherwise specified

Tricasts 
A Tricast dividend will be declared on handicaps of 8 or more declared runners. Unless acceptance is specifically advertised, Tricasts are not acceptable for any other races.

4.4 Early Prices/Board Prices
Board prices will be available for selected races abroad and must be requested. Where no board price is requested and an industry S.P is returned, bets will be settled at the industry S.P. Where no industry S.P is available, bets will be settled at the pari-mutuel returns.
