Ante-Post wagers are accepted on the basis all in run or not, entered or not.
All bets placed after the semi-finals are Non-Runner No-Bet. If a greyhound is withdrawn at that stage any bets placed after the semi-finals prior to the withdrawal will be settled at SP.
Each-Way betting at starting prices will be settled as follows:
- 8 runners - one fifth the odds - first three places.
- 5, 6 or 7 runners - one quarter the odds - first two places.
- Less than 5 runners - the place part goes to win.
Where a client selects a trap number from which no selection runs, in singles, doubles, trebles, etc, then this will be treated as a Non-Runner.
If a reserve dog runs the following settlement rules apply: If a trap number is selected and a reserve runs then bets on the trap number will be settled on the reserve at SP. Bets on all other dogs in the race where a price was taken before the reserve was announced will be settled at SP. If a named dog ('No reserves') is selected and a reserve runs in place of the named dog then the bet will be settled as a Non-Runner. Where a price is taken then bets on named dogs placed prior to withdrawal in a race where a reserve runs from a different trap will be settled at SP.
Payment will be made on the official result of races. Bets will be void in the event of no Starting Price being returned. World Sports Betting reserves the right to declare void any bets where it considers there to be reasonable suspicion or evidence of unfair price manipulation.
When a race is re-run all bets stand. However, where a Price has been taken, settlement will be at the Starting Price returned on the re-run. Should a race be declared void and not re-run then all selections will be treated as Non-Runners.
In the event of abandonment or postponement to races where Early Prices have been offered, all bets will stand as long as the races are rescheduled and completed. However bets where a Price has been taken will be settled at the Starting Price, should a Non Runner, in the specified race, be declared.
Early prices
In the event of any withdrawals resulting in either a vacant trap or a reserve greyhound running then all bets taken at Early Prices prior to withdrawal will be settled at SP.
Trap challenge
Odds may be available on which trap will win the most races at either one greyhound meeting or two meetings combined.
In the event of a Dead-Heat each dog is awarded ½ win. If all races are not completed or there are any vacant traps then all bets will stand. Dead-Heat rules apply for settlement purposes.
US greyhounds
If no Industry SP is declared and no price is taken then bets will be settled based upon the Pari-mutuel (Tote) dividend (declared inclusive of stake). US Host Track settlement rules will apply to all Pari-mutuel bets.
Pari-mutuel bets are accepted Win, Place, Show, Exacta (straight forecast) and/or Quinella (dual forecast), Trifecta and Superfecta.
Up to 3 runners - win only
4 runners - two places (Place dividend)
5 or more runners - three places (Show dividend) or two places (Place dividend)
Should a race be declared 'No Contest' then all bets on that race will be made void and the selection counted as a Non-Runner for settlement purposes. If a bet is placed for a bet type where no dividend is declared then that part of the bet will be made void.
