Forecasts are accepted for all races of 3 or more actual runners and will be settled as a straight forecast (selections to finish 1st and 2nd in correct order) in accordance with the computer straight forecast dividend. If there are less than 3 actually running in a race then all forecasts for that race will be void. In the event of no straight forecast dividend being declared then forecasts will be settled in accordance with the NSL straight forecast chart provided that 3 or more actually run in that race.
You may take early prices or show prices in straight forecasts when available, in a fixed price forecast. If any withdrawals result in a total Rule 4 (Deductions) of £0.10 in the £ or greater then a fixed price forecast will be settled at the computer forecast dividend.
Forecast bets are not accepted containing unnamed favourites.
Combination Forecasts
Where a client selects combination forecasts A B C and stakes for 6 bets this will be settled as 6 straight forecasts as follows:
Forecasts Containing Non-Runners
Should any forecast contain a non-runner then the total stake will be placed to Win on the other selection, unless a non-runner results in less than 3 actually running in a race; then all forecasts for that race will be void. In fixed price forecasts the remaining selection will be settled at SP.
Horse Finishes Alone
In races where a horse finishes alone and no forecast dividend is returned then all forecast bets nominating that horse to finish first will be settled as a Win single at SP on the winning horse. All other forecast bets in the race are lost.
Dead-Heats
In the event of two or more horses dead-heating for first or second place then separate dividends will be declared and paid to each qualifying forecast. In fixed price forecasts the full odds will be paid with the stake split according to the number of horses which dead-heat.
Forecast Doubles/Trebles/Patents/Yankees
Forecast Accumulators are only accepted as part of a Forecast Yankee. Any other bet which includes a Forecast Accumulator will be void win or lose. We do not accept Forecast Lucky15's.
In Forecast Doubles, Trebles and Yankees, should one of the stated Forecasts include a non-runner then total returns from any winning Forecast(s), Forecast Double(s), etc, will be invested as a Win single(s) on the remaining selection.
