In the case of a two horses/contestants dead heat in races other than “match races”, and also in winning multiple event bets where one race results in a dead heat, the punter shall loose half of the odds in the event where the dead heat occurs, and further loose half of the amount staked, the entire bet is then recalculated as a result of the event where the dead heat occurred.
If more than two Dead-Heat the stake is proportioned accordingly.
In the case of a dead heat in a match race the selection shall be void, unless the bet was placed on the outcome being a dead heat.
In winning multiple events bets where two races result in dead heats, the punter shall win the odds to one quarter of the stake and lose the other three quarters, and so on for further dead heats.
Notwithstanding the provisions of rule 18(2), in the case of a three horse/contestant dead heat in a multiple event bets, where one race/event results in a triple dead heat, the punter shall loose two thirds of the odds in the event where the dead heat occurs and loose two thirds of the stake and the entire bet is recalculated as a result of the event where the dead heat occurred.
