horse racing wagering guide and rules

The Company system will allow wagers up to 2 minutes before the scheduled post time. The time left to wager on each race is made available on the website. Any tickets placed after this time will be void.

When placing a wager on a horse they will generally be identified by name not the number.

Payouts may vary according to bet type and track. In most cases full track odds are paid with a maximum payoff. There is no maximum payoff for Win, Place and Show, which will be paid out at track odds. Exotics will have a maximum payoff - please see the table located elsewhere on the site for specific payoffs.

In the event there is a wager made with no track results or payout information posted, the wager will be refunded. An example of this would be, 1) scratch horses reducing the number of entries, 2) no payout results (the race did not run).

Tickets cannot be graded until the official results have been posted. Funds will be credited to your account usually within 10 to 15 minutes after the official results have been posted.

Company does not offer Consolation Payouts because we do not belong to the Pari-Mutuel pool. We do not have pool money that must be returned to the bettors.

A horse is scratched when it is listed as an entry but does not run in the race. A horse may be scratched early in the day or minutes before the start of the race.

Scratches on Multi Race Bets - Any scratches after the first leg of the multi race ticket that has been completed with a loss will result in a losing ticket. An example would be if your first race lost and your horse in the next race was scratched. The ticket would be a losing ticket due to your combination including a loser. If the selection on the earlier stage of the multi-race bet are correct, then the scratches occur in the middle or later legs, this would allow those multi-race bets to be refunded. (This is different from the race track that produce winners via consolation payout.)

Coupled Horses - Horses that belong to one owner or under one trainer running in the same race are �coupled� together. When you bet on one you also get the other; you get horse 1 and horse 1a, for example. When one of the coupled horses wins, both horses win. In the case that both horses finish, the higher payout will be applied. In the event of a scratch you have action, unless both coupled horses scratch.

Field Entry - When there are a large amount of horses running in a race, several horses are grouped together as field horses. For payouts and refunds, the same rules as Coupled Entry apply.

Horse Tickets must be finalized before the race starts. Any wagers placed after the start of the race will be "no action" and all monies will be refunded.
