2.1 General

Markets will be settled according to the details set out in the Market Information and/or the Specific Sports Rules.

Where the Market Information or Specific Sports Rules do not specify the settlement method, markets will be settled based on the official result issued by the relevant governing body, regardless of any later disqualification or amendment (unless an amendment is announced within 24 hours of initial settlement to correct a reporting error).

If no official result is available, we will determine the outcome using independent sources (acting reasonably). Should new information surface within 48 hours of settlement, we may:

• Reinstate or resettle the market;
• Wait for further clarity before deciding on market status.

No information published more than 48 hours after market settlement will be considered unless we have stated we are waiting for more details.

If a result or outcome remains uncertain, Clear Play Analysis reserves the right to delay market settlement indefinitely or void the market entirely if the outcome cannot be resolved satisfactorily.

2.2 Resettlements

Markets are typically settled shortly after the event concludes. On occasion, we may pre-settle or part-settle markets as a courtesy (e.g., crediting winnings), even before the official result is declared.

We reserve the right to amend a settlement if:

• The official result changes post-settlement (e.g., racing result adjustments);
• The market is voided after the fact (e.g., event abandonment);
• A market was settled in error (due to human or technical fault).

Balance adjustments may be made accordingly to reflect corrected settlement outcomes.

2.3 Non-Runners, Withdrawals, and Disqualifications

Unless stated otherwise in the Market Information (e.g., "All bets stand, run or not"), the following rules apply:

• If a participant withdraws, is disqualified, or forfeits after starting, they will be deemed a loser—assuming at least one other completes the event.
• If no participants complete the event, all bets are void—except those markets already unconditionally settled.

If "All bets stand" language is present, then bets will stand regardless of actual participation.

2.4 'Winner With [Named Selection]' Markets

In markets explicitly referencing a named competitor (e.g., “Winner with Federer”), if that individual does not participate in the event, all bets in that market will be void.

However, if other competitors do not participate, bets will still stand.

A competitor is deemed to have participated if they have competed to the extent necessary to receive an official classification (including disqualification). This does not include “did not start” designations.

13. Greyhound Racing

13.1 General

• All bets (excluding ante-post and Australian licensed markets) are placed on trap numbers. Greyhound names are shown for reference only.
• Markets are settled based on the official result when the track gives the result "green light" status via announcement or display. Subsequent appeals or amendments are not considered.
• If a non-runner or reserve runner is declared, all bets placed before the market is updated will be void. Unmatched bets including 'Take SP' and 'Keep' bets will be cancelled, except as outlined in Paragraph 10.5 of Part B.
• If no greyhounds finish a race or a race is declared void before the official result, all bets will be void.
• If the scheduled venue is changed after the market is loaded, all bets will be void.
• In ante-post markets, all bets stand regardless of participation. However, if the competition is abandoned or the venue is changed, all ante-post bets will be void.

13.2 Trap Challenge

• 'Trap Challenge' bets are based on which trap number produces the most winners during a race meeting, unless otherwise stated in the Market Information.
• These bets are not affected by non-runners or reserve runners.
• In the event of a dead heat in a race, traps share the win (e.g. two-way dead heat = 0.5 win, three-way = 0.33 win each, etc.).
• If two or more traps tie with the same number of winners, standard dead heat rules apply.
• If the entire meeting is abandoned, all bets are void. If at least one race is completed, bets will stand.

13.3 Multi-Trap or Multiplied Trap Numbers

• ‘Multi-trap’ or ‘multiplied trap numbers’ bets are based on the cumulative sum of the winning trap multiplied by the second trap for each race during a meeting, unless otherwise stated in the Market Information.
• If the resulting sum is not a round number, it will be rounded up to the nearest whole number for settlement purposes.
• These markets are unaffected by non-runners or reserve runners.
• If a race is cancelled, void, abandoned, or only has one finisher:
  • Eight-runner races will be allocated 20 points.
  • All other races will be allocated 12 points.
• If the entire meeting is abandoned, all bets are void. However, if at least one race is completed, bets will stand and unrun races will be allocated 20 or 12 points as per the above rule.
• Re-run races are treated as cancelled.
• If two greyhounds dead heat for the win:
  • Their trap numbers are multiplied together to calculate the multi-trap number.
• If three or more greyhounds dead heat for the win:
  • Their trap numbers are summed, divided by the number of greyhounds involved, and the result is squared. (e.g., traps 1, 3, 6 → (1+3+6)/3 = 3.33 → 3.33 × 3.33 = 11.11).
• If there is a dead heat for second place:
  • The trap numbers of the greyhounds involved are summed, divided by the number of greyhounds involved, and multiplied by the winning trap number (e.g., trap 1 wins, traps 3 and 6 dead heat for second → (3+6)/2 = 4.5 → 4.5 × 1 = 4.5).

13.4 Winning Distances

• 'Winning distances' bets are based on the sum of all winning margins during a race meeting, unless otherwise stated in the Market Information.
• The maximum winning distance per race is capped at 10 lengths.
• If only one greyhound finishes a race, it will be deemed a 10-length victory.
• For any race that is cancelled, void, or abandoned, the winning distance will be 2 lengths.
• Re-run races are treated as cancelled and assigned 2 lengths.
• For sub-half-length margins:
  • Short-head = 0.1
  • Head = 0.2
  • Neck = 0.3
• At the end of the meeting, the sum of winning distances is rounded to the nearest whole number (rounded up if half).
• If the entire meeting is abandoned, all bets are void. However, if at least one race is completed, the remaining races are each assigned 2 lengths and bets will stand.

13.5 Match Bets

• Match Bets are determined by the greyhound with the highest finishing position in the race.
• If neither greyhound finishes, bets are void.
• If only one finishes, that greyhound is deemed the winner.
• If a non-runner or reserve runner is declared, all bets will be void.
• For competition progression, the greyhound qualifying to the furthest round is the winner, regardless of whether it runs in that round.
• If both greyhounds are eliminated in the same round, the market is settled as a dead heat.

13.6 Reverse Forecasts

• Markets are settled on the two greyhounds finishing first and second, in any order.
• If a dead heat affects the outcome, standard dead heat rules apply.

13.7 Place Markets

• The number of places is defined in the Market Information at market open and remains fixed.
• Further non-runners after market load do not affect the number of places paid.
• If the number of runners is equal to or fewer than the number of places, all bets are void.

13.8 To Reach the Final / To Qualify

• 'Reach the Final' markets settle based on the first six qualifiers from the semi-finals, regardless of whether they run in the final.
• 'To Qualify' markets are settled on the greyhounds qualifying from a heat, regardless of participation in the next round.
• These markets are settled post-qualification. Later disqualifications or result amendments will not affect settlement.

13.9 Ante-Post

• If a listed greyhound dies, Clear Play Analysis will assess whether it was a material runner based on market odds (approx. 8–10% win chance).
• If material:
  • All bets placed on any runner between the death and market suspension are void.
  • All unmatched bets are cancelled before the market is reopened.
• If not material:
  • Only bets on the deceased greyhound during that period are void.
  • Unmatched bets remain active.
• Bets on greyhounds who have forfeited or failed to qualify (without supplementary entry) will be voided.
• Postponed events held at the same venue: bets stand unless entries reopen—then all bets are void.

13.10 Australian Specific Non-Runner Rules

• If a greyhound is declared a non-runner before the race, it will be removed and:
  • All matched bets before the market update are voided.
• If declared a non-runner after the race:
  • All bets on that runner are voided.
  • A reduction factor will apply to all bets on the winner (or placegetters) based on the voided greyhound’s average price.

14.1 General

• All race markets are settled according to the official result at the time of the 'weigh-in' announcement or equivalent.
• Subsequent disqualifications, appeals or result amendments are disregarded.
• If a race is abandoned, voided, or results in a walkover, all related bets will be void.
• All bets are void if the scheduled venue is changed after the market is loaded.
• Races not run on their scheduled day: all bets will be void.
• If the racing surface is changed (e.g., turf to dirt), all bets will stand.

14.2 Ante-Post

• In ante-post markets, all bets stand whether the horse runs or not, except where noted below:
• For GB & Irish racing: If a horse is balloted out, bets on that horse are void.
• If a listed horse dies or is scratched, Clear Play Analysis will determine if it was a material runner based on odds (approx. 8–10% win chance or better):
• If material: All bets on any horse placed between the death/scratch time and market suspension are void, and unmatched bets are cancelled before reopening.
• If not material: Only bets on the scratched horse are void. Unmatched bets remain unaffected.
• Bets on horses forfeiting entry or failing to qualify by the designated date will be void unless a supplementary entry stage follows.
• Removed runners (e.g., not entered at a stage) may have their prices reset to 1.0. If likely to be supplemented, the runner may be reinstated at original odds.
• No Clear Play Analysis-style Non-Runner Rule 4 reductions apply to ante-post markets.
• All ante-post bets will be void if:
  • The event is abandoned and not rescheduled,
  • The event is moved to a different venue,
  • The event is rescheduled with reopened entries and new material runners are added.
• However, if a race is rescheduled to the same venue and entry lists remain materially unchanged, bets will stand.

14.3 Place Terms for Exchange Markets

• The number of places in 'To Be Placed' markets is based on the number of runners known when the market is first loaded and is displayed in the Market Information.
• Once opened, the number of places will not change, even if there are later non-runners.
• If the number of places equals or exceeds the number of runners, all bets in that market will be void.
• If fewer horses place than the number of designated winners, only the placed horses will be paid as winners.

14.4 Each Way (EW) Markets

• The place portion of an EW bet is settled according to:
  • The number of places listed in the Market Information.
  • The fraction of the win portion profit also stated in the Market Information.
• Example: “EW Terms: 1/5 odds, 3 places” and Win odds of 8.0 → Place odds = ((8.0 - 1) / 5) + 1 = 2.4
• The number of places will remain fixed after market opening unless:
  • The number of places equals or exceeds the number of runners — in this case, the place portion of all EW bets will be void.

14.5 Winning Distance Bets

• These bets are based on the total of winning margins from all races on a single day at a given race meeting, unless stated otherwise in the Market Information.
• The winning distance in each race is defined as the official margin between the first two horses past the post.
• However, if either horse is disqualified due to incorrect weight, wrong course, or failure to weigh in, then the official result margin will be used.
• Maximum distances applied when only one horse finishes:
  • Flat: 12 lengths
  • National Hunt: 30 lengths
• Sub-half-length margins:
  • Nose: 0.05
  • Short-head: 0.1
  • Head: 0.2
  • Short-neck: 0.25
  • Neck: 0.3
• If three or more races are abandoned or void, all winning distance bets are void unless already settled.
• If one or two races are abandoned or void:
  • Flat: 2 lengths used as default
  • National Hunt: 10 lengths used as default
• Walkovers:
  • Announced after market opening:
    • Flat: 5 lengths
    • National Hunt: 12 lengths
  • Announced before market opening:
    • The walkover race is excluded from the market.

14.6 Clear Play Analysis Non-Runner Rule

When a horse is declared a non-runner, Clear Play Analysis applies a reduction factor to adjust odds on matched bets in that market. This ensures fairness by accounting for the revised chance of remaining horses winning or placing.

• Any horse listed in the market but not coming under starter’s orders is considered a non-runner.
• Each horse is initially assigned a reduction factor as a percentage, based on its forecast price.
• Reduction factors may be updated during the market lifecycle and remain visible on the Info page of the event.

Reduction Factor Application:

• Win Market:
  • If the non-runner's reduction factor is 2.5% or more:
    • All matched bets on the non-runner are void.
    • All remaining runners have their odds adjusted downward by the non-runner’s reduction factor.
    • All unmatched lay bets are cancelled.
  • If the non-runner’s reduction factor is less than 2.5%, no adjustments are made.
• Place Market:
  • All non-runner reduction factors are applied (regardless of size).
  • Only if the non-runner’s reduction factor is 4.0% or greater will unmatched lay bets be cancelled.

Other Key Rules:

• All reduction factors are adjusted for remaining horses after a non-runner is removed.
• In-play bets are not subject to reduction factors.
• If a market is turned in-play by mistake and then stopped before the race starts, any bets matched during that time may be subject to reduction factors.
• In case of a late withdrawal, a reduction factor may still be applied to pre-race bets if the horse is removed post-race.
• If a non-runner is removed in error:
  • The runner and all associated matched bets will be reinstated.
  • Any bets placed between withdrawal and reinstatement will be void.
• If a material runner (approx. 2.5% or greater reduction factor) was not listed in error:
  • The market may be voided and reloaded properly.
• If a non-material runner was missing:
  • The runner can be added back before settlement and the market will stand.
• Non-runners are removed in the order BetCenter becomes aware of them. If multiple are discovered simultaneously, they are removed in racecard order.

14.7 How Reductions Are Applied – Exchange Markets

Clear Play Analysis applies specific reduction methods depending on the market type to ensure fairness when a non-runner is declared. These reductions affect matched bets differently based on the market type:

Win Market

• Reductions apply directly to the traded price.
• Example: A non-runner with a 25% reduction factor causes a bet matched at 8.0 to be reduced by 25%, resulting in a new price of 6.0.
• Subsequent non-runners may cause further reductions.

Each Way (EW) Market

• Reductions apply to the traded win price.
• The place portion is recalculated using the reduced win odds and the advertised place terms.
• Example: A bet matched at 8.0 becomes 6.0 after a 25% reduction. If the place terms are 1/5 odds for 3 places, the place portion reduces from 2.4 to 2.0.

Place Market

• Reductions apply to potential winnings, not the traded price.
• Example: A £10 bet on a horse to place at 8.0 offers £70 winnings. A 25% reduction due to a non-runner reduces the winnings to £52.50. New effective odds = 6.25.
• Prices will not be reduced below 1.01.

Reserves

• Reserve runners initially carry a non-applicable reduction factor.
• If confirmed as runners, a reduction factor is assigned and applied as normal.
• If a non-runner is replaced by a reserve, the reduction factor of the non-runner will still apply to all relevant pre-removal bets.
• If a confirmed reserve becomes a non-runner, its reduction factor will apply to all pre-removal bets.

14.8 Additional Notes

• Card numbers are a guide only—bets are placed on the named horse.
• Horses are not coupled (no joint entries).
• If a horse runs for purse money only, it is considered a non-runner for betting purposes.
• If this results in the number of potential winners equaling or exceeding the number of runners, all bets in that market will be void.

15. Ice Hockey

• "Regular Time" bets are settled on the result at the end of regular time, excluding overtime and shootouts.
• "Moneyline" bets include overtime and any shootouts and are settled based on the final result including those.
• Handicap and Puck Line markets (e.g., NHL) are settled including overtime and shootouts.
• If the match does not start on its scheduled date and is not completed within three days, all bets will be void unless they were unconditionally determined.
• If the match starts but is abandoned or postponed, at least 55 minutes of play must have occurred or an official result must be declared within three days for bets to stand.
• If the result is tied and no tie option was offered, dead heat rules apply for Moneyline markets.

16. Motor Sport

• Applies to Formula One, Superbikes, Speedway, and other related disciplines.
• If a race is abandoned with no official result, all bets will be void, except those that are unconditionally determined.
• If the scheduled venue is changed after the market is loaded, all bets will be void.
• In head-to-head (match bet) markets, the winner is the driver/rider who finishes ahead or completes the most laps.
• In Speedway, if all scheduled heats/races are not completed, all bets are void unless unconditionally determined.
• If no podium presentation occurs but settlement is based on it per the Market Info, bets will be settled using the official result of the governing body at the scheduled podium time.
• Subsequent disqualifications will not impact settlement unless announced within 24 hours of initial settlement to correct an error.

17. Rowing

• If a crew or individual starts but does not finish, they are deemed a loser, provided at least one other competitor completes the race.
• If no one completes the race, all bets will be void.
• If a regatta is cancelled, all bets will be void unless the market has been unconditionally determined.
• If there is a presentation ceremony, settlement is based on the official result at the time of the ceremony.
• If no ceremony occurs, the official result of the governing body will determine settlement unless an error is corrected within 24 hours.

18. Rugby Union and Rugby League

• Tournament points/tries markets include all playing time, including extra-time.
• For "time of first try" markets:
  • First half is deemed 40 minutes regardless of stoppage time.
  • If no try is scored or it's scored in 2nd half stoppage or extra time, the result is 80.
• Penalty tries count for most try-related markets, but not for "first individual try scorer."
• If a match is abandoned:
  • Bets are void unless an official result is declared by the governing body.
  • Match and handicap markets follow the official result.
  • All other markets are void unless their outcome was already determined at abandonment.
  • Example: if 37 points have been scored when abandoned:
    • Bet on 35+ points = win
    • Bet on 30–35 points = lose
    • Bet on 40–45 points = void
  • Bets like last try scorer, team to score last, and last scoring play will be void.

19. Snooker and Pool

• If a match starts but is not completed, the player progressing to the next round (or winner in a final) is the winner.
• Bets on "correct score" or "next frame" markets are void if the match is not completed.
