Specific Betting Rules

The following table describes Rules as they apply to specific sports. The current version of the table can be viewed on the Capital Sports website as Rules may be amended from time to time without notice.

Horse Racing
General

Bets on horse racing are governed by Tattersalls' Rules of Betting and form the basis of the Rules employed by Capital Sports.

Tattersalls' Rules or an official announcement by the Tattersalls' Committee will govern the settlement of bets should a situation arise that is not covered by these Rules.

A copy of Tattersalls' Rules is available from Tattersalls' Committee.

Late Withdrawals

When a horse is withdrawn before coming under starter's orders, or is officially deemed by the Starter as having taken no part in the race, stakes are returned on the withdrawn horse and winning bets are subject to deductions in accordance with Tattersalls' Rule 4(c), according to the following scale:

Price from to Deduction in the £
- up to and including 3/10 75p
1/3 up to and including 2/5 70p
4/9 up to and including 8/15 65p
4/7 up to and including 8/13 60p
4/6 up to and including 4/5 55p
5/6 up to and including 20/21 50p
Ev up to and including 6/5 45p
5/4 up to and including 6/4 40p
13/8 up to and including 7/4 35p
15/8 up to and including 9/4 30p
5/2 up to and including 3/1 25p
10/3 up to and including 4/1 20p
9/2 up to and including 11/2 15p
6/1 up to and including 9/1 10p
10/1 up to and including 14/1 5p
over 14/1 No deduction

In the event of two or more horses being withdrawn before coming under starter's orders, the total deductions shall not exceed 75p in the £.

Should a horse be withdrawn and a new market reformed then any bets laid at show prices prior to the new show are subject to the above deductions.

In the event of a further withdrawal after the market has reformed, bets placed at show prices in the original market are subject to an additional deduction based on the price of the withdrawn horse in the original market.

Bets placed in the new market are subject to a deduction based on the current price of the withdrawn horse.

The above scale will also apply in the case of non-runners in early price races and will be used for other events that are not Ante-Post events.

Re-runs

In the event of a false start etc. resulting in a race being re-run, the 'under orders' signal is negated and stakes are returned on horses taking no part in the re-run with returns on the remaining runners subject to Tattersalls' Rule 4(c).

Place terms are governed by the number of runners taking part in the re-run.

Walkovers and void horse races

Walkovers and void horse races count as races but any horse so involved will be treated as a non-runner for settlement purposes.

Show Prices including Early Prices

Where available, Capital Sports accepts bets at show prices as displayed on the Capital Sports website.

Each way bets at show prices are governed by the SP place betting terms and determined by the number of actual starters and not by the declared runners when the price is laid.

Should an incorrect price be displayed in an advertisement by a third party price supplier then a bet will be settled at the correct price at the time the bet was struck or the starting price, whichever is the greater.

Early prices, where applicable, are offered on horse races and are available up until 30 minutes before the scheduled off time of the race.

All early prices are subject to fluctuation and therefore the price offered may differ from that originally displayed on the website or published in the Sporting Press.

Soccer
Bets are accepted only on matches where prices are advertised on the Capital Sports website. All winning bets are settled at accumulative odds based on the individual prices shown on the website. In the event of a bet being accepted that contains a match for which no quotation has been made, that match is treated as a 'non-runner' and the remaining selections are settled subject to fulfilling the requirements of the Rules listed below.

All odds are subject to fluctuation and amendment and are based on the result at full-time. The terms 'full-time', '90 minutes play' and 'normal time' are all used to denote the period of play which includes time added by match officials for stoppages, but not scheduled extra time, penalty shoot-outs, etc. Any settlement is calculated at the price prevailing at the time the bet was placed and confirmed.

Dates and kick-off times of matches shown on the Capital Sports website are for guidance purposes only.

In the event of a match being played on a neutral ground, the team shown on the left is regarded as the home side and the team shown on the right as the away side.

Bets are accepted up to the advertised kick-off time. If a bet is inadvertently accepted which includes a match after its actual kick-off time, the match is treated as a 'non-runner'.

Capital Sports reserves the right to refuse the whole or part of any bet.

Singles and upwards are only accepted on Premiership matches, Nationwide matches, recognised Cup matches and International matches that are televised live unless stated otherwise on the Capital Sports website.

'Correct score', 'first' and 'last goal scorer' and 'double result' selections are accepted in singles, doubles, trebles and accumulators.

Extra time and penalty deciders do not count in any event.

If a match has started but is abandoned before 90 minutes play has been completed, the match is deemed void. Only bets on the 'first goal scorer' stand as long as a goal has been scored at the time of abandonment.

With 'first goal scorer' bets, extra time does not count and bets on players taking no part or coming on after the first goal is scored are void. Also, own goals do not count.

With 'last goal scorer' bets extra time does not count and a player who plays in any part of the 90 minutes is deemed as a 'runner'. As with ‘first goal scorer’ bets, own goals do not count.

In all ‘goal scorer’ markets, bets are void for players who take no part.

Where a mid-week match date is postponed, the selection will only be valid provided the match is played within the same week, up to and including Saturday.

Should a weekend match be postponed or re-arranged, bets will only be valid if played on the following day.

In the event of a dispute on who scored a goal, settlement will be based on the result given by the Press Association.

Soccer Combinations
For a combination bet, the account holder must predict which player will score the first or last goal and the correct score in the game. All bets are settled at the special double prices available on the website.

In the event of a player taking no part or coming on after the first goal is scored, all bets are settled at the appropriate odds for the designated correct score.

Own goals do not count when determining the first goal scorer. However, if the only goals in a game are own goals then bets are still settled at the appropriate odds for the designated correct score.

For combination bets involving the last goal scorer, players that take any part in a game are deemed as 'runners'.

Soccer Handicaps
Depending on the strength of each team, Capital Sports will allocate a handicap for a match, which enables the price for each side to be more similar.

In a simple example where a 0.5 handicap is used to eliminate a draw as a possible result the match will appear as follows:

Liverpool (-0.5) 1.95 v Newcastle United (+0.5) 1.85

The figure in brackets is the handicap and the next number represents the price offered. This means Liverpool has an imaginary half a goal deficit at the start of the match. Therefore, if you bet on Liverpool, you win if Liverpool wins and if you bet on Newcastle United, you win if Newcastle United wins; and if the two teams draw you also win.

Where a 0 handicap is used, you win if your selected team wins; if they draw, the difference is 0 goals so your stake will be returned.

Where a handicap of 1 is used, if you selected the (-1) handicapped team you win if that team wins by two or more goals (2-0, 3-1, etc.). If the team wins by one goal (1-0, 2-1, etc.) the stake is returned. If you select the opposition (+1) team, you win provided the team wins or draws the match. If the team loses by one goal the stake is returned.

Where a handicap of 1.5 is used, if you select the (-1.5) handicapped team you win if they win by two or more goals. If you select the opposition (+1.5) team you win if the team wins or draws. You also win if the team loses the match by less than 2 goals.

Continuing this theme, where a handicap of 2 is used, if you select the (-2) handicapped team you win if they win by three or more goals. If they win by two goals your stake is returned. If you select the opposition (+2) team then you win if the team wins or draws. You also win if they lose by one goal. If they lose by two goals your stake is returned.

It is also possible for price to be presented for matches where there is a double handicap. In such a case, the bet is split into two, i.e.:

Liverpool (-0.5, -1) v Newcastle United (+0.5, +1)

In this case, half the stake is placed on Liverpool minus 0.5 goals and the other half on Liverpool minus 1 goal.

Where a double handicap of (0, 0.5) is used, if you select the (0, -0.5) team you win if the team wins by 1 goal or more. If it draws, you lose 50% of the stake, and the other 50% is returned. If you select the opposition (0, +0.5) team you win if the team wins the match. If it draws half your stake is returned and half is multiplied by the price of the bet.

Where a double handicap of (0.5, 1) is used, if you select the (-0.5, -1) handicapped team you win if the team wins the match by two or more goals. If it wins by one goal you win the stake multiplied by half of the net price of the bet. If you select the opposition (+0.5, +1) team, you win if the team wins or draws the match. If it loses by one goal, you lose 50% of the stake, and the other 50% is returned.

Where a double handicap of (1, 1.5) is used, if you select the (-1, -1.5) handicapped team you win if the team wins the match by two goals or more. If it wins by one goal you lose 50% of the stake. If you select the opposition (+1, +1.5), you win if the team wins or draws the match. Also, if it loses the match by one goal, half your stake is returned and half is multiplied by the price of the bet.

Where a double handicap of (1.5, 2) is used, if you select the (-1.5, -2) handicapped team, you win if the team wins the match by three or more goals. If your team wins by two goals, the stake is multiplied by half the net price of the bet. If you select the opposition (+1.5, +2) team, you win if the team wins or draws. You also win if the team loses by one goal. If it loses with a two goal difference you lose 50% of the stake, and the other 50% is returned.

You will find, that we will not take a percentage deduction on any drawn games, which some other bookmakers do.

Golf
In 'outright betting' markets, if a player is a non-runner the bet is void.

Play offs determine the tournament winner.

Dead heat rules apply for relevant placings.

In 'match betting' markets, the winner is the player achieving the highest placing at the end of the tournament. If one player misses the cut, the other is deemed the winner. Where both players miss the cut, the lowest score after the cut is made will determine the settlement. If one player is disqualified, either prior to the completion of two rounds or after both players have made the cut, the other is deemed the winner. If a player is disqualified during the third or fourth rounds when his opponent has already missed the cut, the disqualified player is still the winner. A price is generally offered for a tie and in the event of a tie, bets on either player to win or lose are lost.

In 'group betting' markets, the winner is the player achieving the highest placing at the end of the tournament. Any player missing the cut is considered as a loser. If all players miss the cut, the lowest score after the cut has been made determines the settlement. Players are grouped together for betting purposes only.

'Non-runner' means no bet; deductions in line with Tattersalls' Rule 4(c) will apply where applicable.

Dead heat rules apply except where the winner is determined by a play off.

In '18-hole betting', when players are grouped together in '3 ball' or, for the last two rounds, '2 ball' groupings, the winner is the player with the lowest score over 18 holes. All players must complete 18 holes otherwise all bets on '2 ball or 3 ball' groupings are void.

In the event of a '2 ball or 3 ball' being re-arranged, bets are settled on the original pairings/groups but in the event of a non-runner, the pairing or group is void.

In '2 ball' betting, a price is offered for a tie.

Dead heat rules apply to '3 ball' betting.

In tournaments affected by adverse weather, bets are settled on the official result regardless of the number of rounds played. If there is no further play after a specific bet has been struck, the bet is void.
