New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 13 - LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY › Chapter 70 - HORSE RACING › Subchapter 29 - MUTUELS › Section 13:70-29.48 - 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 of 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, in 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
				loudspeaker 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
				(m), (n), (o) and (p) 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 canceled or declared a "no contest," a 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 or declared a "no contest," 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) When the condition of the turf course
				warrants a change of racing surface and such change has not been made known to
				the betting public prior to the close of wagering for the daily double pool,
				the stewards shall declare the race a "no contest" for daily double wagering
				purposes and the pool shall be distributed in accordance with (j)
				above.
(l) Except for the
				contingencies stated below the daily double is calculated in the same general
				manner as the straight pool.
(m) 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.
(n) 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.
(o) 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.
(p) 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.
(q) 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.
