Section 301.10  General

 

a)         All pari-mutuel pools shall be separately and independently calculated and distributed. Takeout shall be deducted from each gross pool pursuant to the Act [230 ILCS 5]. The remainder of the monies in the pool shall constitute the net pool for distribution as payoff on winning wagers.

 

b)         For each wagering pool, the amount wagered on the winning betting interest or betting combinations is deducted from the pool to determine the profit; the profit is then divided by the amount wagered on the winning betting interest or combinations, such quotient being the profit per dollar.

 

Section 301.20  Win Pools

 

a)         The amount wagered on the betting interest which finishes first is deducted from the net pool, the balance remaining being the profit; the profit is divided by the amount wagered on the betting interest finishing first, such quotient being the profit per dollar wagered to win on that betting interest.

 

b)         The net win pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:

 

1)         To those whose selection finished first; but if there are no such wagers, then

 

2)         To those whose selection finished second; but if there are no such wagers, then

 

3)         To those whose selection finished third; but if there are no such wagers, then

 

4)         The entire pool shall be refunded on win wagers for that contest.

 

c)         If there is a dead heat for first involving:

 

1)         contestants representing the same betting interest, the win pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.

 

2)         contestants representing two or more betting interests, the win pool shall be distributed as a profit split.

 

Section 301.30  Place Pools

 

a)         The amounts wagered to place on the first two betting interests to finish are deducted from the net pool, the balance remaining being the profit; the profit is divided into two equal portions, one being assigned to each winning betting interest and divided by the amount wagered to place on that betting interest, the resulting quotient being the profit per dollar wagered to place on that betting interest.

 

b)         The net place pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based on the official order of finish:

 

1)         If contestants of a coupled entry or mutuel field finished in the first two places, as a single price pool to those who selected the coupled entry or mutuel field; otherwise

 

2)         As a profit split to those whose selection is included within the first two finishers; but if there are no such wagers, then

 

3)         As a single price pool to those who selected the one covered betting interest included within the first two finishers; but if there are no such wagers, then

 

4)         As a single price pool to those who selected the third place finisher; but if there are no such wagers, then

 

5)         The entire pool shall be refunded on place wagers for that contest.

 

c)         If there is a dead heat for second involving:

 

1)         contestants representing the same betting interest, the place pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.

 

2)         contestants representing two or more betting interests, the place pool shall be divided with one-half of the profit distributed to place wagers on the betting interest finishing first and the remainder is distributed equally among place wagers on those betting interests involved in the dead heat for second.

 

Section 301.40  Show Pools

 

a)         The amounts wagered to show on the first three betting interests to finish are deducted from the net pool, the balance remaining being the profit; the profit is divided into three equal portions, one being assigned to each winning betting interest and divided by the amount wagered to show on that betting interest, the resulting quotient being the profit per dollar wagered to show on that betting interest.  The net show pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:

 

1)         If contestants of a coupled entry or mutuel field finished in the first three places, as a single price pool to those who selected the coupled entry or mutuel field; otherwise

 

2)         If contestants of a coupled entry or mutuel field finished as two of the first three finishers, the profit is divided with two-thirds distributed to those who selected the coupled entry or mutuel field and one-third distributed to those who selected the other betting interest included within the first three finishers; otherwise

 

3)         As a profit split to those whose selection is included within the first three finishers; but if there are no such wagers, then

 

4)         As a profit split to those who selected the two covered betting interests included within the first three finishers; but if there are no such wagers, then

7)         The entire pool shall be refunded on show wagers for that contest.

2)         contestants representing two betting interests, the show pool shall be distributed as a profit split.

 

3)         contestants representing three betting interests, the show pool is divided with one-third of the profit distributed to show wagers on the betting interest finishing first and the remainder is distributed equally among show wagers on those betting interests involved in the dead heat for second.

1)         contestants representing the same betting interest, the show pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.
