Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3769 - State Racing Commission › Chapter 3769-3 - Wagering › Section 3769-3-19 - Daily double pool calculations

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The object of the daily double is to
			 select on one ticket, and in one combination, the winners of two consecutive
			 races as officially posted. These races will be clearly designated on the
			 program.
(B) The daily double is
			 calculated as an entirely separate pool and, in general, is calculated as a win
			 pool.
(C) If no ticket is sold
			 combining the two winners of the daily double, the pool shall then be
			 apportioned equally between those having tickets including the winner in the
			 first race of the daily double and those having tickets including the winner in
			 the second race of the daily double in the same manner in which a place pool is
			 calculated and distributed.
(D) If
			 no ticket is sold on the winner of the first race of the daily double on any
			 combination, the entire pool is apportioned to the holders of tickets on the
			 winner of the second race of the daily double. Likewise, if no ticket is sold
			 on the winner of the second race of the daily double or any combination, the
			 entire pool is apportioned to the holders of tickets on the winner of the first
			 race of the daily double. If there are none, the daily double shall be canceled
			 and the gross pool refunded to holders of daily double tickets.
(E) If a dead heat to win should result in
			 either the first or second race of the daily double, the total pool is
			 calculated as a place pool. In case of a dead heat for the winner of the first
			 race of the daily double, the posting of payoff prices will be made after the
			 winner of the second race of the daily double is official.
(F) In the event any horse or horses in the
			 first half of the daily double should be excused by the stewards after the
			 horses have left the paddock for the post, or after the betting on the daily
			 double has been closed, or should any horse or horses in the first half of the
			 daily double be declared a non-starter for any reason by the stewards, the
			 money wagered on any horse or horses so excused or prevented from racing shall
			 be deducted from the daily double pool and refunded to the purchaser or
			 purchasers of tickets on the horse or horses so excused or prevented from
			 racing.
(G) If a horse is
			 scratched from the second half of the daily double before it becomes a starter
			 in the second half, but after the first half of the daily double has been run,
			 all daily double tickets combining the scratched horse in the second race of
			 the daily double 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 race
			 of the daily double. The total payoff on all tickets combining the winner of
			 the first race of the daily double with the scratched horse in the second race
			 of the daily double as determined by the method set forth in this rule shall be
			 deducted from the net daily double pool.
(H) The possible payoff prices shall be
			 posted, displayed, or announced to the public before the start of the second
			 race of a daily double, and as soon as possible after the horses in the race of
			 the second half of a daily double have entered upon the track on the way to the
			 post.
(I) If for any reason the
			 second race of the daily double is canceled or declared "no race" by the
			 stewards after the first daily double race is declared official, then the net
			 daily double pool shall be distributed to the wagering combinations which
			 include the horse or betting interest which finished first in the first daily
			 double race.
If none were sold, then the net pool will be distributed to
				those combinations which include the horse or wagering interest which finished
				second in the first race and; if none, then the daily double will be canceled
				and the complete pool will be refunded to those holding daily double tickets.
(J) Daily double wagering
			 will close at the start of the first race of the daily double and a complete
			 report of the wagering will be provided to the representative of the racing
			 commission prior to the second race of the double.
(K) At every location on the premises of each
			 permit holder at which daily double tickets may be sold, a board or alternate
			 display device shall be maintained within view of patrons who may purchase
			 daily double tickets at such location, upon which, as a preliminary to the sale
			 of daily double tickets, opening lines of approximate odds with respect to both
			 of the two races of the daily double shall be posted, unless official programs
			 carry such opening lines of approximate odds.
(L) Unless one or more horses shall be
			 adjudged to have finished in a dead heat for first position in the first race
			 of a daily double, or unless subsequent to the running of the first race of the
			 daily double, the stewards shall order a horse or horses withdrawn from the
			 second race of the daily double, the payoff prices of the daily double tickets
			 representing the horse adjudged to have finished first in the first race of the
			 daily double and each of the horses which are expected to participate in the
			 second race of the daily double shall be video displayed or posted at a
			 location designated for such purpose; and, if such prices so posted shall not
			 be legible from the grandstand, they shall be announced over a loud speaker
			 system if such a system has been installed and is in working order.
(M) If one or more horses have been adjudged
			 to have finished in a dead heat for first position in the first race of a daily
			 double, or if, subsequent to the running of the first race of a daily double
			 and prior to the displaying and announcing of payoff prices on the daily
			 double, pursuant to paragraph (L) of this rule, the stewards shall order a
			 horse or horses withdrawn from the second race of the daily double, then
			 because of the complicated calculations involved, the payoff prices of the
			 daily double tickets need not be posted or announced as required in paragraph
			 (L) of this rule. However, announcement of the fact that such prices will not
			 be posted or displayed and the reason thereof will be made immediately after
			 the first race. If any payoff prices on the daily double shall have been posted
			 or announced prior to the ordering by the stewards of the withdrawal of a horse
			 or horses, and if such posted prices become incorrect and should be erased, the
			 reason for such erasure shall be displayed, and a statement that such prices
			 will not be applicable shall be announced.
