16. CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO MULTI BETTING
16.1 Interpretation
In Rule 16, unless the context otherwise requires:
“Anchor” means a selection marked to be included in all combinations of bets in a Boxed Multi.
“Boxed Multi” allows a number of separate Multi bets to be sold as a single transaction. A Boxed Multi is required to be made up of three or more component options plus a nominated number of bet combinations involving those component options.
“Boxed Multi Return” or “MAXRETURN” means the sum of the Returns for all the separate Multi bets sold as a single transaction in a Boxed Multi.
“Multi” means a bet made up of two or more individual Fixed Odds Sports and/or Fixed Odds Race component options.
“Multi Odds” means the product of Odds of two or more individual Fixed Odds Sports and/or Fixed Odds Race component options.
“Multi Return” means the product of Multi Odds times the Investment.
“Percentage Multi Bet” means a Boxed Multi bet where the Investor does not nominate a unit of Investment for each bet combination, instead they nominate the total amount they wish to outlay on the bet.
“Related Outcome” means a situation where the outcome of one event in a Multi could have a bearing on another event in that Multi.
“Remainder” means the difference between the Total Amount Nominated, and the outcome of the Investment Formula multiplied by the number of combinations wanted.
16.2 Purpose of Rules
The purpose of Rule 16 is to establish the conditions of Multi betting. Rule 16 is to be read subject to provisions in Rule 12: Conditions Applicable to Fixed Odds Race Betting, Rule 14: Conditions Applicable to Fixed Odds Sports Betting and Rule 15: Sport Specific Rules.
16.3 Acceptance of Multi Bets
(a) The Board may refuse to accept any bet or part thereof without stating reasons.
(b) It is the responsibility of the Investor to ensure details of their bets are correct.
16.4 Returns
Multi Odds are calculated by multiplying the Odds for each individual selection, then rounding up to the nearest cent. The Multi Return is calculated by multiplying the Multi Odds by the Investment amount and rounding down to the nearest five cents.
Example: Auckland to beat Wellington is paying $1.70, Warriors to beat Canberra is paying $2, All Whites to beat Japan is paying $3.40.
Multi Odds = $1.70 x $2 x $3.40 = $11.56.
Multi Return for $20 Investment = $20 x $11.56 = $231.20
16.5 Variance of Returns
(a) The Board may determine Maximum Multi Odds. See Appendix 1.
(b) The Board may determine a Maximum Multi Return. See Appendix 1.
(c) The Board may determine a Maximum Boxed Multi Return. See Appendix 1.
16.6 Postponement, Cancellation or Abandonment of Authorised Event
At its absolute discretion, the Board may allow a period of up to and including three days for an Authorised Event or Race to be conducted before deeming the event or Race to be abandoned.
If an Authorised Event or Race is abandoned or cancelled prior to its commencement, or subsequently abandoned, the Board shall recalculate all Multi bets as if the Odds for all selections on the abandoned event or Race are $1.00.
16.7 Dead Heats
In the event of a dead heat Rules 12.10 and 14.12: Dead Heats will apply.
16.8 Related Outcomes
(a) Subject to Rule 16.8 (b) Multi bets are not accepted where the events within that Multi are Related Outcomes. If such bets are accepted, the Board reserves the right to void bets in accordance with Rule 14.13: Errors.
(b) The Board reserves the right to offer Odds on Related Outcomes where a multiplicative factor reduces the Multi Odds on such Related Outcomes.
16.9 Boxed Multis
Investors may take a Boxed Multi whereby combinations of any two or more selections in different options are available as additional bets.
16.10 Anchors
Investors may select anchors in a Boxed Multi. If an anchor is chosen, all Any’n’ (where n= 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9) bets will contain the anchor selection. The number of anchor selections must be less than or equal to the smallest Any’n’ chosen. For example, where an Investor selects 4 anchors, bet combinations of any 2 or any 3 are impossible.
Example: Where an Investor selects
1. Auckland to beat Wellington; (Anchor)
2. Warriors to beat Canberra; (Anchor)
3. All Whites to beat Japan; (Anchor)
4. Lakers to beat Utah; and
5. Yankees to beat the Mets
Because there are three anchors, “Any2” cannot be selected.
Marking “Any 3” would give the Investor one additional Multi bet comprising Auckland, Warriors and All Whites.
Marking “Any 4” would give the Investor two additional Multi bets comprising Auckland, Warriors, All Whites and Lakers, and Auckland, Warriors, All Whites and Yankees.
16.11 Percentage Multi Bets
Percentage betting is available for Boxed Multi bets.
Minimum Investment
The Board may from time to time determine a minimum Investment for Percentage Multi Betting. See Appendix 1.

Investment Unit
The amount invested on each Multi combination is calculated in accordance with the following formula, truncated to the nearest whole number:-

Total Amount (in cents) Nominated
Number of combinations wanted
Any Remainder will be invested at the rate of one additional cent per unique combination in accordance with the Percentage Priority Order until all of the Total Amount Nominated is invested. See Appendix 3.
