New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 13 - LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY › Chapter 71 - HARNESS RACING › Subchapter 27 - MUTUELS › Section 13:71-27.47 - Daily double

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Before
				off-time of the second half of the daily double there shall be posted on the
				public board, readable from the stands, the pay-off each combination coupled
				with the winner of the first half of the daily double.
(b) In the event of a dead heat for the
				straight pool in the first half of the daily double, or the event of a
				consolation pool, it shall not be deemed necessary to compute and post the
				actual pay-off prices on all the various combinations of the daily double
				before the running of the second half of the double. However, an effort should
				be made to compute the double prices and to announce them to the public over a
				loud-speaker system prior to the running of the second half of the
				double.
(c) The daily double is not
				a parlay. All tickets on the daily double will be calculated in an entirely
				separate pool.
(d) The principle of
				a daily double is in effect a contract by the purchaser of a daily double
				ticket to pick (select) the winners of each of the two races specified for the
				daily double.
(e) If the purchaser
				of a daily double ticket fails to pick the winner of the first half of the
				daily double, his contract is void, unless circumstances occur as described in
				(
l
), (m), (n) and (
o
) below. If these
				conditions do not apply, then irrespective of what happens to the horse
				selected in the second half of the daily double, there is no refund because the
				patron has failed to fulfill the first half of the contract which is to pick
				the winner of the first half of the daily double.
(f) If a horse in the first half of the daily
				double is excused by the stewards before off-time, all money wagered on any
				horse or horses so excused shall be deducted from the daily double pool and be
				refunded to the purchaser or purchasers of tickets on the horse or horses so
				excused.
(g) In the event a horse
				is excused in the second half of the daily double after the first race is
				official, all daily double tickets combining the scratched horse with the
				actual winner of the first race of the daily double shall be paid a price
				equivalent to that fraction of the net pool derived by dividing the net pool by
				the total purchase price of all tickets combining the winner of the first race
				of the daily double with all horses in the second half of the daily double. The
				total pay-off of all tickets combining the winner of the first race of the
				daily double with the scratched horse in the second half of the daily double as
				determined by the method set forth in this rule shall be deducted from the net
				daily double pool.
(h) After
				off-time, there shall be no refund in either of the above cases, provided for
				in (f) and (g) above.
(i) For the
				purpose of figuring the daily double, when horses are locked in the gate they
				shall be considered as having been excused by the stewards; and (f) and (g)
				above shall be enforced.
(j) If,
				for any reason, the first race of a daily double is cancelled and declared "no
				race", full and complete refund will be made of the daily double pool. If, for
				any reason, the second race of a daily double is canceled and declared "no
				race", the daily double pool shall be distributed to the holders of the daily
				double tickets on the winner of the first race in the same manner as the
				straight pool of the first race is distributed, except as to the amount of
				distribution, which shall be controlled by the amount bet in the daily double
				pool.
(k) Except for the
				contingencies stated below, the daily double is calculated in the same general
				manner as the straight pool.
(
l
) If no ticket is sold
				combining both winners of the daily double, the net pool shall then be
				apportioned between those having tickets including the winner of the first race
				of the daily double and those having tickets including the winner of the last
				race of the daily double and shall be calculated and distributed as a place
				pool.
(m) If no ticket is sold
				including the winner of the first race of the daily double, then the entire net
				pool will be paid to the holders of tickets which include the winner of the
				last race of the daily double.
(n)
				If no ticket is sold including the winner of the last race of the daily double,
				the entire net pool will be paid to the holders of tickets which include the
				winner of the first race of the daily double.
(
o
) If no ticket is sold
				including a winner of either race of the daily double, then the entire net pool
				will be paid to the holders of tickets which include the horses finishing
				second in the two races of the daily double.
(p) If either race of the daily double
				results in a dead heat, the pay-off will be figured the same as a place pool;
				that is, first, the regulation commission is deducted, then the total amount
				wagered on the winning combination is deducted, leaving the profit which is
				divided equally between holders of the winning combinations.
