52 Multiple sports bets

(1)  In this regulation –

return, for a bet, means the return to the bettor.

(2)  Unless the bookmaker and the bettor concerned agree otherwise when it is made, the following conditions apply to a sports bet involving more than one contingency:

(a) if the bettor's selection for any one of the contingencies loses or is taken to have lost, the whole sports bet is lost;

(b) if one or more of the relevant events results in a tie –

(i) the revised return for each contingency is to be calculated by applying the method set out in regulation 45 ; and

(ii) the revised dividend payable is to be the amount obtained as the product of the cumulative odds applicable and the original stake;

(c) if –

(i) the sports bet is in respect of 2 or more events and any of the events is decided in the bettor's favour; but

(ii) any remaining event is postponed or abandoned and is not held within the 8-day period immediately following the day on which, but for the postponement, it was to have been held –

the revised dividend is to be the amount obtained, as the product of the cumulative odds applicable (when the sports bet was made) to the events decided in the bettor's favour, plus the original stake.

(3)  Unless the bookmaker quoted special odds when it was placed, a multiple sports bet in respect of related contingencies in the same event is void.
