Betting is available on race meetings (televised or non-televised in South Africa) in Australia, Europe, Hong Kong, India, Kenya, Mauritius, New Zealand, Singapore, North and South America and Zimbabwe.
For these meetings the following conditions shall apply:
An open bet is a bet offered by Hollywood on one or more events in which no fixed odds are agreed at the time the bet is placed and the winnings and therefore the payout is determined after the outcome of the event on which such bet was struck becomes known, with reference to dividends generated by the international totalisator.
All bets shall be to a R1 unit. Where dividends are declared to a different unit, then the dividend shall be adjusted to pay to a R1 unit.
Bet Types
Win bets are won when the runner you picked finishes first.
Place bets are won when the runner picked finishes in one of the up to four top places. The number of places for which the bet is paid goes by the Totalisator. Usually, there are three places being paid. However, depending on the country and number of runners, even only two or up to four places might be paid. All place bets are lost past the fourth place, even if the Totalisator pays further places. (In the USA this is called a show)
Exacta bets are won when the two runners picked finish first and second in the exact order specified. Should one of the picked runners become a non-runner, the stakes shall be refunded. Should less than two runners cross the finishing line for a given race, all exacta bets shall be lost unless the Totalisator is providing Exacta odds.
Trifecta bets are won when the three runners picked finish first, second, and third in the exact order specified. Should one of the picked runners become a non-runner, the stakes shall be refunded. Should less than three runners cross the finishing line for a given race, the according Totalisator rules shall apply for payout.
Quartet bets are won when the four runners picked finish first, second, third, and fourth in the exact order specified. Should one of the picked runners become a non-runner, the stakes shall be refunded. Should less than four runners cross the finishing line for a given race, the according Totalisator rules shall apply for payout.
Swinger bets are won when the two runners picked finish in one of the top three places regardless of their order of arrival. Should one of the picked runners become a non-runner, the stakes shall be refunded. Should less than three horses cross the finishing line for a given race, all Swinger bets shall be lost unless the Totalisator is providing Swinger odds.
Place Accumulator bets are won when the horses picked finish in the top three places in each of the seven races that comprise the place accumulator.
Pick 6 bets are won when the horses picked win each of the six races that comprise the pick 6.
Bets on coupled runners are bets made on a certain stable as a whole. Should two or more runners of one stable (e.g. same owner) start in a given race, the odds provided by the Totalisator shall refer to all runners from such stable combined.
In France and Italy, runners are coupled exclusively for win bets. Should one of the coupled runners become a non-runner, for races in these countries the stakes on this runner shall be refunded.
In American horse racing, coupled runners regulations are also applied to other betting types. Should one of the coupled runners become a non-runner, for races in the USA the stakes shall be distributed over the remaining coupled runners of the same stable. The stakes shall be refunded only if all horses from the stable on which you have bet become non-runners. As clarification, open bets will not be offered on more than one of the coupled horses in the USA i.e. where horses 1 and 1A are carded to run, then betting will only be available on horse 1 for all bet types.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2.14 in the full Terms & Conditions, maximum winning limits will apply to international racing:
Winning limits shall apply to all bet types as per the table below. The maximum winnings in respect of any single customer, syndicate of customers or any group of people acting in conjunction with each other as may be determined by Hollywood in its sole discretion, will be limited to a R100 000 race limit.
Totalisator rules, pools and dividends on international racing shall be taken from the totalisator in the country of origin.
