'First Past the Post' is to be interpreted as the result first given by the judge and transmitted by SIS. In the event of the judge or SIS correcting a result the first result given in error will not stand. 'FPP' terms are disregarded in the event of any void race or where any result was determined by incorrect weights carried or where the wrong course is taken etc., in which case the official result will govern settlement. 'FPP' does not apply to the following: races which are declared void before the weigh in; ante-post bets which are all Rules Of Racing; all horse racing outside of Ireland or the UK.
-
Double Result
Double Result is only applicable to horse racing in Ireland and UK, unless otherwise advertised. Double Result means if your horse is First Past the Post you get paid, however, should your horse be awarded the race or promoted to a place, as a result of a Stewards enquiry or Objection which is announced before the weigh in or 'winner alright', we will still pay you.
Double Results will not apply to the following bets or circumstances: bets which rely on Tote dividends (i.e. Placepots, Jackpots, Quadpots, etc) which are settled Rules Of Racing; Horse 'Match Betting', 'Distance Specials' or 'Betting Without' races which are settled on a First Past the Post basis; Any horse disqualified for taking the wrong course or for carrying the incorrect weight; races which are declared void; Where there is an official correction to the results by the judge or SIS prior to the 'weigh in' and any races which are declared void before the 'weigh in' for which Rules Of Racing will apply; All bets on horse racing outside of Ireland and the UK are settled on a Rules Of Racing basis only.
We pay Double Result on Forecasts & Tricasts.
-
Settlement of Bets
Bets are automatically settled on a F.P.P. basis unless otherwise stated in the office or by R.O.R. if requested by the client. The advertised times of all races, the runners, the returns and the results as published in the national/sporting press will govern the settlement of all bets, errors and omissions excepted.
"Throughout the Card" type instructions will be determined by reference to the published race programme, as will instructions "first race" etc. In the event of no starting prices being returned, all selections for which a price has not been laid, will be declared void and treated as non-runners for the purpose of settlement. Unless otherwise advertised by us, bets are accepted only at Starting Price, Board Price, Morning Price or Ante-Post Price. If taken at tote returns in error, win and place singles or accumulative bets will be settled at starting prices forecast bets will be settled in accordance with our Rule 15. Each way doubles, trebles and accumulators are settled win to win and place to place. When three or more selections are made for a race in a wager involving straight forecasts, settlement will be made as a full combination of those selections, unless each required forecast is written individually. In accumulative wagers where bet contingencies are related, stakes will be divided on those selections which therefore clash. Commissions for a horse or greyhound that runs in a race or a meeting not precluded by our rules will be executed for that race unless the selection is specifically timed by the Client or by our Rule 14 for another race for which it holds an engagement. Where there is evidence of "price-rigging" of starting prices, we reserve the right to withhold payment of returns pending the outcome of any subsequent inquiry.
-
Time of Acceptance
In the case of races by S.I.S. for which an "Off" signal is given, we officially cease to take bets after we have processed and photographed an "Off Slip". For other races or events, bets are only accepted up to the advertised time of starting. Should a client, subsequent to the result of a race having been determined or after we have officially ceased to take bets on a race include in his instructions a selection for that race, it will be treated as a non-runner, win or lose.
-
Incorrect Stakes or Instructions
Where it is quite clear from the written instructions on the bet what the client intended to back, nothing in this rule shall overrule this.
Related Contingencies: Different bets may not be combined where the result of one influences the outcome of another.
Example: Liverpool to win the F.A. Cup Semi final 2/1, Liverpool to win the Cup outright 6/5 - €10 Double on above or similar type bet would be settled as a €5 single on each. However, a special price is available for most combinations of Football results, i.e. 1st goalscorer plus correct score, etc. If two selections run in the same race are included in a double, treble or accumulator, both win and place stakes will be equally divided between the two. A double will become 2 singles; a treble will become two doubles and so on. If however, either of the selections should be doubly engaged, settlement will be determined by application of Rule 14. If the same selection is repeated in a double, treble or accumulator, then a non-runner will be substituted for the repeated selection.
-
Board Prices and Morning Prices
At all horse or greyhound meetings when we are receiving a "Course Betting service" we will lay the current quoted price of the selection at the time the bet is accepted. Neither a "bar price" nor the instruction "first show" will be accepted; if taken in error the selection will be settled at the starting price. Clients wishing to bet at board or morning prices must stipulate this when calling out the bet and ensure that the quoted price is read back to them by our Call Centre Staff, otherwise the bet will be settled at starting price. Where a board or morning price is laid this will apply to the selection throughout the slip. should there be an (official) correction of a price or starting price, whichever is wrongly transmitted, all wagers struck at that price will be settled at the corrected price or starting price, whichever is the greater, a similar correction will be made where, due to a mistake by a member of our staff a price has been incorrectly quoted, whether to the clients advantage or not. This rule will similarly apply where morning prices advertised or displayed on the day of an event are marked incorrectly on the betting slip by a member of our Staff. Settlement of the place part of each way bets where a price has been laid (excepting ante-post) is determined by our Rule 12. A horse race bet laid in accordance with advertised or circulated prices on the day of the race is not an ante-post bet and in the event of any withdrawals such horse(s) will count as non runners and bets for other horses will be subject to a deduction equivalent to that of Tattersalls Rule 4, the rate depending upon the advertised or quoted price(s) of the withdrawn horse(s). When a rule 4 deduction applies to an early priced race, and the result renders the price less than the returned S.P. price, we will waive the Rule 4 deduction. This applies to singles only.
Morning Prices are available up to 20 minutes before the advertised off-time or up to the transmitted 1st show whichever occurs earliest.
-
Favourites
- In any race the favourite is the horse quoted in the official starting price return at the shortest odds. The second favourite is the horse quoted at the next shortest odds and so on. If two horses should be quoted at the same odds and if these odds should be shorter than those quoted against any other horse then these two horses are the joint first and second favourites.
- subject to section © of this rule where the client uses the word, "favourite" or "second favourite" to indicate the selection the stake will be invested on the horse defined in the preceding section. If two or more horses are thus selected the stake will be divided and invested equally amongst each of the selected horses. However, if such joint favourites are returned at a price where irrespective of result no profit could accrue to the backer of the favourite, the unnamed favourite will be treated as a non-runner. This section and section (A) with the exception of 2nd favourite will apply equally to greyhound racing.
- Commissions for unnamed favourites or additionally in the case of horse racing of unnamed second favourites, will be accepted to win only. The place part of any such commission, if taken will be declared void.
- Commissions for second favourites at Greyhound meetings are not accepted and even if advertently taken will be declared void. Should a favourite commission be timed for one of the races on the days programme but no meeting or an unscheduled meeting be specified, it will be executed as for the Principal Meeting where the time coincides.
-
Ante-Post Betting
All Ante-Post bets are accepted and settled on a Rules of Racing basis only. Ante-Post bets are accepted on the principle of all in enter or not, run or not. Should a selection become a non-runner after the time of acceptance, the bet will be a losing one. All Ante-Post prices are subject to fluctuation and Ante-Post bets will be settled at the price ruling at the time of acceptance, which must be confirmed by the Manager, and must be recorded on the betting slip by our staff. The right is reserved to correct any palpable error. Doubles, trebles and accumulators will be calculated at accumulative odds, except when the same selection is taken to win two or more events, when reduced odds may apply. When there has been Ante-Post betting on an event which does not eventually take place, all single bets on that event are void, but accumulative bets will stand, the entries for the event not taking place will be treated as non-runners and the remaining selection(s) settled at the Ante-Post prices laid. If a horse is balloted out under Jockey Club Rule 125, single bets on that horse will be void. In such circumstances, accumulative Ante-Post bets will stand, the balloted out selection being treated as a non-runner and the remaining selection(s) settled at the Ante-Post prices laid. In the event of a race being postponed, bets will be decided in accordance with Tallersalls ruling. Each way Ante-Post bets are settled Win to Win and Place to Place. We do not accept "place only", "any- to -come" or "if cash" bets at Ante-Post odds. In the event of a postponement of a race or event - if the declarations are re-opened - all bets placed before the postponement will be void, win or lose.
-
Win & place Betting at Starting or Board Price
Each Way betting All Races Less than 5 runners place void. Handicaps 5,6,7, runners ¼ odds a place 1,2. 8 to 11 runners 1/5 odds a place 1,2,3 12 to 15 runners ¼ odds a place 1,2,3 16 or more runners ¼ odds a place 1,2,3,4 Non Handicaps 5,6,7 runners ¼ odds a place 1,2 8 or more runners 1/5 odds a place 1,2,3 -
Dead Heats
In the event of a dead heat, clients lose half their stakes and are paid full odds to the other half. e.g., If a client invests €1.00 on a selection that starts at 20/1 and which dead heats for 1st place, half the stake is lost leaving 50 cents stakes at 20/1. A similar rule applies to place betting where as a result of a dead heat more than the required number of horses are placed. In the event of a multiple dead heat, stakes will be divided in proportion.
-
Doubly Engaged
An untimed single bet for a selection which is Doubly Engaged will be taken as for the first race in which it runs, unless an 'if absent' selection is also given on the slip, when this will be taken as timing the bet for the race where both are engaged. Where a selection is Doubly engaged and is timed by the customer, it will be settled as a bet for that timed race only. Where it is untimed, or incorrectly timed, the bet will be on the first race in which the selection runs, after the time that the bet was placed. If two selections, one of which is Doubly Engaged, are included in a double, treble or accumulator and run in the same race the one which is Doubly engaged will be deemed to be timed for the race in which they do not clash. If both are Doubly engaged, the selection written first will be timed for the race in which it runs, and the other timed for the race in which they do not clash. This does not apply to single bets, which are treated as entirely separate bets.
-
Forecasts * We pay Double Result*
Subject to the following rules, Forecasts are accepted in singles, doubles and trebles only. If the forecast should contain a non-runner, if the same selection is repeated or if the selection run in different races, the forecast will be declared void and treated as a non-runner for the purpose of settling wagers. Forecasts at Tote Returns, if taken in error will be settled in accordance with the relevant section of this rule. A Forecast including an unnamed favourite selection will be declared void.
- Horses: Forecasts will be accepted only in races of three or more runners, and will be settled in accordance with the officially declared S.P. Computer Forecast Returns; in races of less than three the forecast will be declared void. Forecasts at Tote Returns are not accepted and, if taken in error, will be settled at Computer Forecast Returns. Where a Client nominates a dual forecast in a race for which a straight forecast is declared, the stake will be divided and invested as two straight forecasts. If for any reason, no Computer Forecast is returned, bets will be settled by reference to the N.S.L. Straight Forecast Chart. Should one runner finish alone, a dividend for the winner with any other runner will be passed by S.I.S.
- Greyhounds: Forecasts will be accepted only in races of three or more runners and will be settled in accordance with the official B.A.G.S. Computerized Forecasts. For races where such forecasts are not declared, settlement will be made by reference to the N.S.L. Straight Forecast Chart and in accordance with the rules printed thereon; in races of less than three runners the forecast will be declared void.
- Forecasts for Irish Racing will be settled in accordance with the officially declared S.P. Computer Forecast Returns. In the event of no forecast dividend being returned, winning forecasts will be settled at multiplied odds; e.g. 2/1 Winner, Second 5/1, 2x5 = 10/1.
-
Tricasts * We pay Double Result*
Tricasts, to select the horses to finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd in correct order, are accepted in races for which an official Computer Tricast return is declared. Selections should be named, although race card numbers will be accepted provided there can be only one interpretation of the required selections. In the event of any ambiguity the Tricast will be declared void.
- Instructions for permutations must be specific; otherwise, the bet will be settled as a Straight Tricast to the stake available.
- Tricasts will be settled in accordance with the official Computer Tricast return.
- Should selections for the Tricast include one non-runner, the stake will be invested as a Computer Straight Forecast on the remaining two selections in the order written, with the non-runner being discounted. for the purpose of settlement, it should be noted that a permutation is a series of Straight Tricasts. Should selection for a Tricast include two non-runners, the stake will be void.
- If, for any reason, a Tricast is taken for a race for which an official Computer Tricast return is not declared, where all three selections run, settlement will be made as a Computer Straight Forecast on the selections nominated to finish 1st and 2nd, with the selection for 3rd being discounted.
-
Late Withdrawals, Disqualifications and Re-Run Races
Horses: Where a horse is withdrawn before coming under starters orders, after a course market has been formed or in the event of a disqualification, wagers will be settled in accordance with Tattersalls Rules.
Where a "No Race" is re-run, all commissions for that race will stand for the re-run unless previously cancelled by the client. All bets struck at board price and not cancelled will be settled at S.P. in the re-run race.

Boylesports Special Offers
In the event of any non-runner from which the above have been selected being less than 10/1 in the probable S.P. in the RACING POST, bets will be settled at S.P. Where any of the selections are themselves non-runners, accumulators become trebles at S.P., trebles become doubles at S.P. and doubles become S.P. singles. In the event of any non-runners in races from which a place only has been nominated, our place betting terms will automatically apply, i.e., if we advertise a horse to be placed in the first four and due to non-runners the field is reduced to between 8 and 15 runners inclusive, it will automatically become the first three places only. Likewise if we advertise a horse to be in the first three and the field is reduced to between 5 and 7 runners inclusive, it will automatically become first and second only, and so on.
All Boyle Special Doubles, Trebles, Accumulators or place only specials inadvertently accepted after the first show has been given by S.I.S. will automatically revert to S.P.
Jockey Specials stand irrespective of who rides the named selections in the Specials.
