R19-2-523. Calculation of Payoffs and Distribution of Pools

A. General

• 1. All permitted pari-mutuel wagering pools shall be separately and independently calculated and distributed. Takeout shall be deducted from each gross pool as stipulated by law. The remainder of the monies in the pool shall constitute the net pool for distribution as payoff on winning wagers.
• 2. For each wagering pool, the amount wagered on the winning betting interest or betting combinations is deducted from the net pool to determine the profit; the profit is then divided by the amount wagered on the winning betting interest or combinations, such quotient being the profit per dollar.
• 3. Either the standard or net price calculation procedure may be used to calculate single commission pools, while the net price calculation procedure must be used to calculate multi-commission pools.
  • a. Standard Price Calculation Procedure

SINGLE PRICE POOL (WIN POOL)

gross pool = sum of wagers on all
betting interests - refunds

takeout = gross pool x percent
takeout

net pool = gross pool - takeout

profit = net pool - gross amount bet
on winner

profit per
dollar = profit / gross amount bet on
winner

$1 unbroken
price = profit per dollar + $1

$1 broken
price = $1 unbroken price rounded
down to the break point

total payout = $1 broken price x gross
amount bet on winner

total breakage = net pool - total payout

PROFIT SPLIT (PLACE POOL)

Profit is net pool less gross amount bet on all place finishers. Finishers split profit and (place profit), then divide by gross amount bet on each place finisher for 2 unique prices.

PROFIT SPLIT (SHOW POOL)

Profit is net pool less gross amount bet on all show finishers. Finishers split profit 1/3 and 1/3 and 1/3 (show profit), then divide by gross amount bet on each show finisher for 3 unique prices.

• b. Net Price Calculation Procedure

SINGLE PRICE POOL (WIN POOL)

gross pool = sum of wagers on all
betting interests -
refunds

takeout = gross pool x percent
takeout

* for each source:

net pool = gross pool - takeout
net bet on winner = gross amount bet on
winner x (1 - percent
takeout)

total net pool = sum of all sources net
pools

total net bet on

winner = sum of all sources net
bet on winner

total profit = total net pool - total
net bet on winner

profit per dollar = total profit / total net
bet on winner

$1 unbroken base

price = profit per dollar + $1

* for each source:

$1 unbroken price = $1 unbroken base
price x (1 - percent
takeout)

$1 broken price = $1 unbroken price
rounded down to the
break point

total payout = $1 broken price x
gross amount bet on
winner

total breakage = net pool - total payout

PROFIT SPLIT (PLACE POOL)

Total profit is the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all place finishers. Finishers split total profit and (place profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each place finisher for 2 unique unbroken base prices.

PROFIT SPLIT (SHOW POOL)

Total profit is the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all show finishers. Finishers split total profit 1/3 and 1/3 and 1/3 (show profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each show finisher for 3 unique unbroken base prices.

• 4. If a profit split results in only 1 covered winning betting interest or combinations, it shall be calculated the same as a single price pool.
• 5. Minimum payoffs and the method used for calculating breakage shall be established by the Department.
• 6. The individual pools outlined in these rules may be given alternative names by each permittee, provided prior approval is obtained from the Department.

B. Win Pools

• 1. The amount wagered on the betting interest which finishes 1st is deducted from the net pool, the balance remaining being the profit; the profit is divided by the amount wagered on the betting interest finishing 1st, such quotient being the profit per dollar wagered to Win on that betting interest.
• 2. The net Win pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:
  • a. To those whose selection finished 1st; but if there are no such wagers, then
  • b. To those whose selection finished 2nd; but if there are no such wagers, then
  • c. To those whose selection finished 3rd; but if there are no such wagers, then

C. Place Pools

• 1. The amounts wagered to Place on the 1st 2 betting interests to finish are deducted from the net pool, the balance remaining being the profit; the profit is divided into 2 equal portions, 1 being assigned to each winning betting interest and divided by the amount wagered to Place on that betting interest, the resulting quotient is the profit per dollar wagered to Place on that betting interest.
• 2. The net Place pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:
  • a. If contestants of a coupled entry or mutuel field finished in the 1st 2 places, as a single price pool to those who selected the coupled entry or mutuel field; otherwise

  • b. Contestants representing 2 or more betting interests, the Place pool is divided with of the profit distributed to Place wagers on the betting interest finishing 1st and the remainder is distributed equally amongst Place wagers on those betting interests involved in the dead heat for 2nd.

 

D. Show Pools

• 1. The amounts wagered to Show on the 1st 3 betting interests to finish are deducted from the net pool, the balance remaining being the profit; the profit is divided into 3 equal portions, 1 being assigned to each winning betting interest and divided by the amount wagered to Show on that betting interest, the resulting quotient being the profit per dollar wagered to Show on that betting interest.
• 2. The net Show pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:
  • a. If contestants of a coupled entry or mutuel field finished in the 1st 3 places, as a single price pool to those who selected the coupled entry or mutuel field; otherwise
