Bet-Football also reserves the right to cease betting on any markets at any time without notice and ultimately, if deemed necessary, to void certain bets or a market as a whole.

1.1.5     Allowing for minor spelling mistakes, if an incorrect selection (team, player or otherwise) is displayed in/conveyed for a market, or the incorrect number of selections or outcomes are available in a market, or a market includes any obvious error, we reserve the right to void bets in the market or the market as a whole.

1.1.6     It is the client's responsibility to ensure that s/he is aware of the rules relating to a bet as bets cannot be voided once they are placed (unless in exceptional circumstances, or as otherwise stipulated in our rules).

1.1.8     Odds, lines and handicaps all fluctuate, and are fixed only at the time the bet is confirmed. Where an obvious error or system failure results in an incorrect price, line or handicap in any given bet, that bet, or part of that bet if it is a multiple bet/parlay, will be considered void. If the error is noticed in time, Bet-Football may make effort to contact the client to allow the choice of placing another bet at the correct odds/line/handicap.

The reduction is calculated by multiplying the original stake by the number of expected winners and dividing it by the number of dead-heated selections.

Bets will be accepted at a specially combined price. If a player takes the field after a goal has been scored or does not take part in the game, such bets will be settled as a single on the selected correct score at the appropriate odds. If a match is abandoned after a goal has been scored all bets will be settled as singles on the selected first goalscorer at the appropriate odds.

4.11.2   In the event of a non-runner(s) a Rule 4 deduction will be applied based on the price (in the specified ‘without’ market) of the non-runner at the time of withdrawal. In the case of a non-runner(s) leaving only one quoted runner in a ‘without’ market, then Walkover rules will apply and bets will be void.

4.11.3   Where there are no finishers in a race, excluding the ‘without’ selections then all bets will be void.

4.13.2   In the event of two selections starting joint favourites then stakes are divided equally. Where three or more selections start co-favourites stakes will be divided proportionately. However, if such joint favourites or co-favourites are returned at a price, irrespective of result, no profit could be accrued by the backer of the favourite, the unnamed favourite will be treated as a non-runner, in both single and accumulative bets.

4.13.3   Should the favourite be withdrawn before coming under starter's orders but too late for a new market to be formed then bets on the favourite in that particular race are void. In the event a joint or co-favourite being withdrawn then the proportion of stakes on that selection will be void and the remaining proportion of stakes will be divided equally on the selections that do run.

4.14               Forecast Betting

4.14.1   Forecasts are accepted for all races of three or more actual runners and will be settled as a straight forecast (selections to finish first and second in correct order) in accordance with the computer straight forecast dividend. If there are less than three actually running in a race then all forecasts for that race will be void. In the event of no straight forecast dividend being declared then forecasts will be settled in accordance with the NSL straight forecast chart provided that three or more actually run in that race.

4.14.2   You may take early odds or show odds in straight forecasts when available, in a fixed price forecast. If any withdrawals result in a total Rule 4 (Deductions) of £0.10 in the £ or greater then a fixed price forecast will be settled at the computer forecast dividend.

4.14.6   In races where a horse finishes alone and no forecast dividend is returned then all forecast bets nominating that horse to finish first will be settled as a Win single at SP on the winning horse. All other forecast bets in the race are lost.

4.14.7   In the event of two or more horses dead-heating for first or second place then separate dividends will be declared and paid to each qualifying forecast. In fixed price forecasts the full odds will be paid with the stake split according to the number of horses which Dead Heat.

4.15               Forecast Doubles/Trebles/Patents/Yankees

4.15.1   Forecast Parlays are only accepted as part of a Forecast Yankee. Any other bet which includes a Forecast Parlays will be void win or lose. We do not accept Forecast Lucky15's.

4.16               Tricast Betting

4.16.1   You may take early odds or show odds in straight tricasts when available, in a fixed price tricast. This is available on all horse races of 8 or more runners. If any withdrawals result in a total Rule 4 (Deductions) of £0.10 in the £ or greater then a fixed price tricast will be settled at the computer tricast dividend. However if no computer tricast dividend is declared (e.g. in non-handicaps) then a fixed price tricast will be settled as a computer straight forecast on the first two named selections irrespective of where the third named selection finishes.

4.16.2   The following applies to both tricasts and fixed price tricasts: if one selection is a non-runner then the bet will be settled as a straight forecast at the computer forecast dividend. If there are two non-runners then the bet will be settled as an SP single on the remaining selection.

4.16.3   Tricasts are not accepted including unnamed favourites.

4.16.4   In the event of two or more horses dead-heating for first, second or third place then separate dividends will be declared and paid to each qualifying tricast.

4.20               Reserves

4.20.1   In races with reserves, any bets taken prior to a reserve horse being declared to run and if the reserve was not priced up at the time the bet was placed, then any such bets will be settled on the result 'without the reserve runner(s)'. Each Way bets settled on the result "without the reserve runner(s)" will be based on the number of runners, excluding reserves, that start the race. In races where reserves are priced but do not run, no Rule 4 (Deductions) will be applicable.

4.21               Withdrawals Other Than Ante Post

4.21.1   Where a horse is withdrawn before coming under starter's orders, or is officially deemed by the starter to have taken no part in the race, then stakes will be returned on the withdrawn horse and winning bets will be returned on the withdrawn horse and winning bets will be subject to deductions in accordance with Rule 4 (Deductions). The rate of deduction will be based on the price of the withdrawn horse at the time of its withdrawal on the following scale:

4.22               Rule 4 (Deductions) Table:

4.22.1   When a horse is withdrawn at odds of between 10/1 and 14/1, bookmakers normally make a 5p in the £ deduction to winnings. Bet-Football has abolished the first such deduction in any race.

4.22.2   In the event of two or more horses being withdrawn before coming under starter's orders then the total deductions shall not exceed £0.90 in the £.

4.22.3   Should a horse be withdrawn and a new market formed then any bets laid at show odds prior to the new show will be subject to the above deductions. In the event of a further withdrawal after the market has been reformed then bets placed at show odds in the original market will be subject to a further deduction based on the price of the withdrawn horse in the original market. Bets placed in the new market will be subject to a deduction based on the current price.

4.22.4   The above scale will also apply in the case of non-runners in early price races and will be used for other events where we specifically advertise that deductions in line with Rule 4 (Deductions) will apply.

4.23               ReRuns

4.23.1   In the event of a false start, etc. resulting in a race being rerun, 'under starter's orders' is negated and stakes will be refunded on horses taking no part in the rerun. Returns on the remaining runners subject to Rule 4 (Deductions). The number of runners taking part in the rerun governs Place terms.
