4160 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 160

14.9 Provision of Details

Add the following paragraph:

(c) In general terms, the first listed team is the home team for an event on which fixed odds betting is operated on by the Board. In certain situations, such as Finals Series matches, only a limited number of venues are used and as a consequence the first listed team may not in fact be the home team.

If the home and away teams are incorrectly listed, any betting to that point will be declared void and bets refunded.

14.10 Postponement, Cancellation of Authorised Event

Call the first paragraph (a)

Add the following paragraph:

(b) In the event of one or more matches in a multiple bet option being abandoned, more than fifty percent of the matches involved in that multiple must be completed for bets to stand. Bets that have the remaining winning combinations of matches will be paid according to the Dead Heat Rule.

If more than fifty percent of matches are not completed, all bets are declared void and bets refunded.

14.11 ‘All In’

Replace the first paragraph with the following:

(a) ‘All In’ betting means that a refund is not given for any contestant who withdraws or is withdrawn from an event after betting on that event has commenced. Qualification events that are part of the prime event are included under the ‘All In’ rule. ‘All In’ generally applies to all long term/futures betting.

(b) A bet refund may be given if a contestant does not get a chance to win the event in which he/she is a listed contestant. Refer to SPORT SPECIFIC Rules 15.1 to 15.13.

14.14 Dead Heats

Replace paragraph (a) with the following:

(a) If odds for a dead heat, tie or draw are not offered by the Board for an event when a dead heat does occur, the amount to be paid to holders of winning tickets for contestants involved in a dead heat will be calculated by dividing the number of contestants involved in the dead heat into the Return for each winning ticket.

When the number of contestants involved in a dead heat outnumber the remaining places available for payout on the event, the amount to be paid to holders of winning tickets on those contestants is calculated as follows:

The number of dead heaters involved is divided by the number of placings available, with the resultant answer then divided into the Return on each winning ticket.

14.16 Payment of Returns

Add the following paragraphs:

(c) The ‘Official Result’ is a ruling made by the Official Controlling Body of a particular sport in respect of the result of an event conducted by that body.

(d) All betting is conducted according to world-wide standard practice of ‘normal time’, unless specifically stated. Refer SPORT SPECIFIC Rules for exceptions.

Normal time, which can also be variously indicated as ‘80 minutes’ or ‘90 minutes’, is the standard match time plus added (or referee’s) time for stoppages and injury.

Normal time does not include any form of ‘Extra Time’.

(e) The term ‘Podium Placing’ is used to indicate that betting on that event will be resulted according to the positions occupied on the podium at the completion of the event. Subsequent protests, appeals or disqualifications will not be recognised or considered for betting purposes.

15.3 Baseball

15.5 Cricket

For batting or bowling ‘Head to Head’ betting, each batsman or batswoman must be at the wicket when at least one ball is bowled and both bowlers must bowl at least one ball for bets to stand. If this does not occur, bets are refunded.
