num: 2
paragraphs: The employees of the totalisator whilst so employed shall not engage in any betting either by means of the totalisator or in any other manner at the greyhound race track on which the totalisator is operated.
(b) The dividend on the unit shall be paid to a multiple of threepence and for that purpose every fraction of threepence shall, as the Board may think proper in respect of each such fraction, be distributed or retained.
(b) All dividends payable and all bets returnable under these regulations may be claimed only within one month of the termination of the race meeting at which the bets were made and only at the totalisator while such totalisator is working or at such place and time as may be disignated by the operator.
(c) The holder of a winning ticket shall be deemed to be the only person entitled to receive the dividend payable thereon.
(d) Where bets are returnable, they shall be returnable only on presentation of the appropriate ticket whole and not unreasonably defaced or unrecognisable save that if after inquiry the operator is of opinion that a totalisator ticket in respect of which a sum would be distributable or repayable has been lost or mislaid the operator may at his discretion and subject to any conditions he thinks fit to impose, pay such sum to any person who applies for payment within a period of one month after the ticket was issued and who appears to be the person properly entitled to payment.
(e) Whenever a totalisator ticket, to the holder of which a sum would be distributable or repayable under these regulations, if not presented for payment at the place prescribed and within the time limit imposed by these regulations such sum shall become the property of the operator at the expiration of the said time limit.
(f) In the event of a dispute arising with regard to any ticket or bet, or any other matter whatsoever in these regulations, the decision of the operator shall be final and binding.
(b) In the event of there being no unit on one or more of the greyhounds dead-heating for first place, the net pool shall be divided into as many equal portions as there are dead-heating greyhounds on which there are units. The dividends shall then be calculated by dividing each portion by the number of units on the dead-heating greyhound to which it refers.
(b) Dividends for the place pool shall be paid on two places.
(b) In the event of a dead-heat for second place the dividends shall be calculated as follows :—
(b) In the event of there being no unit on any of the placed greyhounds, the dividend will be declared on the next greyhound or greyhounds in order of finish on which bets have been made.
(b) In the event of a dead-heat for second place, the winning greyhound coupled with each of the dead-heating greyhounds shall be deemed " winning combinations " for the purpose of the forecast pool and the dividends shall be calculated by dividing the net pool into as many equal portions as there are winning combinations. Each portion shall then be divided by the number of units on the winning combination to which it refers.
(b) In the event of there being no unit on any of the winning combinations the dividend shall be calculated by dividing the net pool by the number of units on all combinations which have nominated the winning greyhound or failing such nominations then on all combinations which have correctly nominated the second greyhound.
(b) In the event of a dead-heat for first place in the second selected race, the dividend shall be calculated by dividing the net pool into as many equal portions as there are greyhounds dead-heating. Each portion will then be divided by the number of units on such greyhounds.
(b) If, after completion of the second selected race, the winners of the first and second selected races have been unbacked, the holders of tickets on the next greyhound in the order of finish in the second selected race on which there are units shall be entitled to a dividend calculated by dividing the net pool by the number of units on such greyhound.
(c) If, after the completion of the second selected race, there has been no ticket exchanged on the winner, then holders of all tickets on the second selected race shall be entitled to a dividend, calculated by dividing the net pool by the number of units on the winner of the first selected race. The resultant dividends shall be paid on presentation of tickets issued for the second selected race or unexchanged winning tickets for the first selected race.
(b) In the event of the second selected race being declared a no race or where for any reason the double event cannot be completed the double event shall cease and a dividend shall be declared calculated by dividing the net pool by the number of units on the winner of the first selected race. The resultant dividend shall be paid on presentation of tickets issued for the second selected race or unexchanged winning tickets for the first selected race.
(2) These regulations shall come into operation on the 16th day of April, 1960.
