2.1. Definitions

2.1.1. The horse race or the regularly organised French and foreign horse race meeting appearing on a list established under the conditions provided for by decree no. 2010 – 498 of 17 May 2010 and its successive amendments are the events which serve as a basis for one or more horse racing bets.

2.1.2. The horse racing betting offer means all the provisions of these regulations allowing the obtaining of a gain based on the accuracy of one or more horse racing bets relating to the result at the arrival of the event serving as a basis for betting.

2.1.3 Pari-mutuel betting is a method of betting in which all the players' stakes are pooled together before the event takes place and then redistributed to the winners in proportion to their stakes and according to the rules applicable to the type of bet made, after deduction of a levy proportional to the stakes and any refunded bets. The probable relationships are therefore variable. They are expressed in multiples of the stake (eg: 2 means a ratio of 2 times the stake). For certain foreign races, the pooling of these stakes is carried out by the racecourse. In this case, certain types of bets may follow specific rules described in sub-article 2.5 of these regulations.

2.1.4 A “Rapport” is the gross amount, including the initial stake, paid to the player once the result of a race is known. The payouts displayed on the site are for a stake of 1 Euro.

Ratios are rounded down to the first decimal place.

The remainder thus obtained, which is called the profit to be distributed, is divided into as many equal parts as there are horses classified first.

Each of these shares is in turn shared in proportion to the number of bets on each of these horses.

The quotients thus obtained, increased by the betting unit, constitute the gross dividends for each of the horses classified first.

In case of “dead heat” arrival:

“Win” bets placed on all horses classified in first place are entitled to payment of a “Win” dividend.

“2nd” bets placed on all horses classified in second place are entitled to payment of a “2nd” dividend.

“4th” bets placed on all horses classified in fourth place are entitled to payment of a “4th” dividend.

“Place” bets placed on all horses classified in the first two or three places (depending on the number of starters - see above) are entitled to payment of a “Place” dividend.

“Quinella”, “Swinger”, “Exacta”, “Trio”, “Trifecta”, “Superfecta”, “Superfecta Order”, “Pentafecta” and “2 of 4” bets involving horses classified respectively in the first two, three, four and five places (depending on the type of bet and the number of starters - see above) are entitled to the payment of a dividend.
