UK & Irish Horse Racing Rules: Money Back Markets



Money Back 2nd

Market description: Predict a horse to win a given race.

  • If the selected horse fails to win but finished in second place, the stake will be refunded.

 

1. Bets are accepted for horse race meetings held under the rules of the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) and Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) and are settled on the official result.

2. Bets are accepted at the advertised special price.

3. All odds are subject to fluctuation and bets placed will be settled at the price at the time the bet was confirmed.

4. If the selected horse finishes in a dead heat of two for first place, the stake will be divided equally by the number of horses involved in that dead heat.

  • Example: If a £10 bet is placed on a horse priced at 3/1 in this market that is involved in a dead heat of two for first place, the stake will be divided equally across first and second place and will return £25 (4 x half the £10 stake for first place plus half the £10 stake returned for second place).

5. If the selected horse finishes the race in a dead heat of two for second place, the stake will be divided equally across second and third place.

  • Example: If a £10 bet is placed on a horse priced at 3/1 in this market that is involved in a dead heat of two for second and third place, the stake will be divided equally across first and second place and will return £5 (half the £10 stake returned for second place).

6. If the selected horse is withdrawn from the race before coming under starter’s orders, bets placed on that horse will be void.

7. If the selected horse is withdrawn from a race after coming under starter’s orders, bets placed on that horse will have lost as the horse will be deemed to have been a participant in the race.

8. If any other horse is withdrawn from the race before coming under starter’s orders, bets placed on this market may be subject to a Rule 4 deduction.

9. If a race is abandoned, declared void or has fewer than five runners, bets placed on that race in this market will be void.

10. Adjustments to settlement won't be made for amended results or adjudications made by governing bodies after the weigh-in when the official result is declared.
