Idaho Admin. Code r. 11.04.01.834

Current through September 2, 2024
Section 11.04.01.834 - DOUBLE POOLS
01.Double Pools. Only one (1) Daily Double will be permitted during a single racing day, unless approval is obtained from the Racing Commission.
02.First Place Finisher. The Double requires selection of the first-place finisher in each of two (2) specified contests.
03.Winning Distribution. The net Double pool must be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:
a. As a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in each of the two (2) contests; but if there are no such wagers, then;
b. As a profit split to those who selected the first-place finisher in either contest; but if there are no such wagers, then;
c. As a single price pool to those who selected the one (1) covered first-place finisher in either contest; but if there are no such wagers, then;
d. As a single price pool to those whose selection finished second in each of the two (2) contests; but if there are no such wagers, then;
e. The entire pool must be refunded on Double wagers for those contests.
04.Dead Heat for First. If there is a dead heat for first in either of the two (2) contests involving:
a. Contestants representing the same betting interest, the Double pool is distributed as if no dead heat occurred.
b. Contestants representing two (2) or more betting interests, the Double pool is distributed as a profit split if there is more than one (1) covered winning combination.
05.Scratched Interest -- First-Half. Should a betting interest in the first-half of the Double be scratched prior to the first Double contest being declared official, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest is deducted from the Double pool and refunded.
06.Scratched Interest -- Second-Half. Should a betting interest in the second-half of the Double be scratched prior to the close of wagering on the first Double contest, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest is deducted from the Double pool and refunded.
07.Consolation Payout. Should a betting interest in the second-half of the Double be scratched after the close of wagering on the first Double contest, all wagers combining the winner of the first contest with the scratched betting interest in the second contest are allocated a consolation payout. In calculating the consolation payout the net Double pool is divided by the total amount wagered on the winner of the first contest and an unbroken consolation price obtained. The broken consolation price is multiplied by the dollar value of wagers on the winner of the first contest combined with the scratched betting interest to obtain the consolation payout. Breakage is not declared in this calculation. The consolation payout is deducted from the net Double pool before calculation and distribution of the winning Double payout. Dead heats including separate betting interests in the first contest will result in a consolation payout calculated as a profit split.
08.Cancelled or "No Contest." If either of the Double contests are cancelled prior to the first Double contest, or the first Double contest is declared "no contest," the entire Double pool must be refunded on Double wagers for those contests.
09.Second Double Cancelled or "No Contest." If the second Double contest is cancelled or declared "no contest" after the conclusion of the first Double contest, the net Double pool is distributed as a single price pool to wagers selecting the winner of the first Double contest. In the event of a dead heat involving separate betting interests, the net Double pool is distributed as a profit split.
10.Payoff Posting. Before the running of the last half of the Daily Double pool, the payoff of each combination coupled with the winner of the first half of the Daily Double must be posted in a prominent place.
11.Third Heat Announcement. In case of a dead heat for winner in the first half (1/2) of the Daily Double, the payoff of the Daily Double need not be posted until after the running of the second half (1/2) of the Daily Double. However, announcement of this fact must be made over the loud speaker and notice to this effect be posted on the board at conclusion of the first half (1/2) of the Daily Double.
12.Close of Sale. Sale of Daily Double tickets must close not later than "off-time" of the first race of the Daily Double.
13.Daily Double Not a Parlay. The Daily Double Pool is not a parlay and is not connected with the WIN, PLACE, SHOW or other pools in any manner whatsoever.
