For example, if you place a ‘not to place’ bet in an eight-runner race paying three places and there is then a non-runner declared, there are now only seven horses but still three places on offer, therefore reducing the chance of your selection not being placed. This means your odds will lengthen as your bet now has less chance of winning. If the number of places becomes equal or less than the number of horses remaining in the field, reverse Rule 4 will apply. If your bet was placed before the non-runner was declared and the market was reformed, you will still be entitled to the same number of places as the original market.Īs stated above, the number of places offered in the original market will remain the same if your bet was placed before the non-runner was announced and before a market is reformed. If a horse is declared a non-runner and the field size is therefore reduced, the reformed market may offer a lower amount of places on each-way bets. What happens if my horse places with Rule 4?

Your full stake will be retuned whatever the level of reduction on any of your winnings. Will I receive a reduced stake return with Rule 4? If two or more runners are withdrawn, the maximum possible deduction is £0.90 or 90%. If a horse is declared a non-runner from a reformed market, the second Rule 4 deduction will be based on the reformed price, not the original one. If a selection is declared a non-runner the market will be reformed with new prices, and if more runners are subsequently withdrawn the market will be reformed again, and so on. What happens if more than one selection is withdrawn? Winnings will only be deducted from wagers placed before reformed market prices are announced. This will not effects bets where a fixed price is taken after the market has been reformed. If your selection is withdrawn after the starting price has been announced and before the market can be reformed, then the price will be adjusted accordingly. However, if you have placed a starting price bet this will not come into effect as the market will be reformed and the SP adjusted appropriately. For example, two different bookmakers may have the horse priced differently when it is declared a non-runner, and your Rule 4 will be defined by the price listed with your chosen bookmaker. The Rule 4 price will be dependent on the odds at which the non-runner was trading at the time of its withdrawal, and will be specific to the bookmaker you have placed your bet with. Where does the Rule 4 odds price come from? Some betting sites may also class a 10/1+ selection as an outsider with zero deduction and others go all the way up to 14/1. This is one of the main benefits of ante-post punting, however if you stake an ante-post bet and your selection does not take part in the event, your stake will not be refunded as a ‘non-runner’, it will be settled as a loss.
Bets placed on an ante-post market will not be subject to a Rule 4 deductions regardless of any non-runners. There are some bookmakers which have done away with some of the lowest deductions, in particular the 5p rule.Īn example is Ladbrokes, they dismissed the 5p reduction a long time ago.Īnte-post bets are an exception to Rule 4 deductions. Rule 4 does not affect your rights to a stake refund on the withdrawn selection, or any subsequent non-runner prior to coming under starters orders. In the rare case that a strong favourite, for example at 1/6, is declared a non-runner, a deduction of 90% of winnings, or 90p in £1 may apply. However, should a more likely winner be withdrawn such as a 13/8 favourite, their non-runner status will have a bigger effect on the price of the rest of the field, therefore the shorter the price of the non-runner, the larger the Rule 4 deduction from any winnings. If the non-runner was an unlikely winner of the race, with odds of 20/1 for example, then no deductions will be made. Your bookmaker will then reduce your pay-out should your selection win, with the reduction depending on the price of the withdrawn runner.
If you take a price on a horse/greyhound in a race after the final declarations are made, and one or more of the others are then declared non-runners, the original price will no longer reflect your horse/greyhound’s chance of winning the race. Rule 4, or Rule 4(c) given its full title, is an agreed industry standard deduction strategy drafted in the Tattersalls Rule of Racing that governs all racing, which protects bookmakers in the case of non-runners.
