• 14 Fractional Totalisator

  14.1 Unit Bet: The unit bet is the same unit bet as per the Totalisator rules for each pool on which fractional betting is possible.

  14.3 Application: Fractional betting is available for the Quartet Totalisator, Trifecta Totalisator, Pick Eight Totalisator, Pick Six Totalisator, Pick Four Totalisator and Place Accumulator Totalisator.

  14.5 Method of purchase: The percentage of betting will never be less than 1% provided the amount is not less than the unit bet. The Computer system will:

  14.5.1 Determine the value of the bet by multiplying the horse selection (i.e. number of bets) by the unit of betting for that particular bet type.

  14.5.2 Compare the amount of money available for investment with the value of the bet as in 14.5.1 above. The resultant percentage is then applied to the unit of betting and rounded down to the nearest cent. Thus, arriving at the fractional value of each bet unit purchased, i.e. the base unit of betting.

  14.5.3 Multiply this base unit of betting with the number of bets taken to determine actual cost of bet. This will be rounded up to the nearest rupee.

  14.5.4 The difference between the actual cost of the bet and the amount paid (rounded up to the next rupee) will be added to the gross pool for that particular bet type.

  14.5.5 Print a bet ticket and in addition to the bet details normally printed, show the percentage of the total bet purchased if less than 100%. If the bet purchased is more than a unit then the ticket will show the number of times the bet is purchased and any fraction in excess of the whole number will be shown as a percentage of the unit of betting.

  14.6 Dividends: All unit bet dividends shall be calculated to the completed rupee:

  14.7 Fractional bet dividends shall be calculated by multiplying the unit bet dividend by the percentage of the unit bet purchased and rounded down to the nearest rupee. This resultant dividend is then multiplied by the number of times that the bet is won and rounded down to the nearest rupee.

  14.8 The dividend shall be determined by dividing the net pool by the total number of unit and fractional unit bets on the winning combination(s).

  14.9 In the event that there are no full unit winning bets on a Totalisator pool, and at the same time, the sum of the percentage of bets purchased of all fractional winners is less than 100% of the unit of betting, then the dividend will be determined for a full unit of betting and the balance of the dividend, i.e. not apportioned to the fractional winners, will be carried forward as per the Rule governing the carry forward on each Totalisator pool.

  14.10 Carry forward: In the event of there being no ticket on any of the winning combinations, the net pool will be carried forward as per the rules governing the carry forward on each Totalisator pool.
