Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 35 - HORSE RACING › Part XIII - Wagering › Chapter 115 - Triple Play › Section XIII-11515 - Scratches and Nonstarters

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. In
				the event a triple play ticket designates a selection in any one or more of the
				races comprising the triple play and that selection is scratched, excused or
				determined by the stewards to be a nonstarter in the race, prior to the
				official start of the first leg, all tickets designating that horse shall be
				refunded and the money deducted from the pool.
B. In the event the scratch was made in the
				second leg after the start of the first leg, a consolation payoff shall be
				computed for those bets combining the winners of the first and third legs with
				the scratched betting interest as follows: from the gross pool shall be
				deducted the statutory take-out and then the amount represented by bets on
				combinations involving betting interests scratched from the third leg (reduced
				by the take-out thereon). The resulting remainder shall be divided by the
				amounts bet on the combination of such first and third leg winners with all
				betting interests (less breakage) to determine the consolation price per dollar
				payable to those bets combining winners of the first and third legs with a
				betting interest scratched in the second leg. The breakage shall not be
				deducted from the pool.
C. If a
				betting interest is scratched in the third leg after the start of the first
				leg, a consolation payoff shall be computed as for those bets combining the
				winners of the first and second legs with such scratched betting interest as
				follows: from the gross pool shall be deducted the statutory take-out and then
				the amount represented by bets on combinations involving betting interests
				scratched from the second leg (reduced by the rate of the take-out thereon).
				The resulting remainder shall be divided by the amount bet on the combination
				of such first and second leg winners with all betting interests in the third
				leg (less breakage) to determine the consolation price per dollar payable to
				those bets combining winners of the first and second legs with an betting
				interest scratched in the third leg. The breakage shall not be deducted from
				the pool.
D. If betting interests
				are scratched in both the second and third legs after the start of the first
				leg, a consolation payoff shall be computed for those bets combining the winner
				of the first leg with the betting interests scratched in both the second and
				third legs as follows: from the gross pool shall be deducted the takeout and
				the remainder shall be divided by the amount bet on the winner of the first leg
				combined with all other betting interests (less breakage) to determine the
				consolation price per dollar payable to those tickets combining the winner of
				the first leg with the scratched betting interests from both the second and
				third legs. The breakage shall not be deducted from the pool.
E. If all three legs of the triple play are
				cancelled or declared "no contest," the entire pool shall be
				refunded.
