Forecast (First and Second)
A forecast is a bet that involves correctly predicting the first and second greyhounds in the correct order in a specified race. Prices cannot be taken on a forecast – a dividend showing how much the forecast pays to a C$1 stake is declared after the race.
Subject to the following rules, we accept forecast singles and doubles as part of our normal business. There must be a minimum of three runners in the race; otherwise, the selected forecast will be void.
Forecast bets are settled from the returns declared by the CSF. Any bonus for forecast doubles or trebles is added to the calculated total return, excluding any leg-by-leg bonus.
Forecast bets are void when:
One of the selections does not run.
Fewer than three runners take part in the event.
You select unnamed favourites. If an unnamed favourite appears among the named selections, only the part of your bet containing the unnamed favourite is void.
What happens when a greyhound finishes alone:
A forecast dividend with any other runner will be declared.
If no forecast dividend is returned, all forecast bets nominating that greyhound to finish first will be settled as a win single at SP on the winning greyhound.
All other forecast bets in the race are lost.
Tricast (First, Second and Third)
Tricast bets require you to select the first, second and third greyhounds in the correct order and are accepted as single bets only.
