Mich. Admin. Code R. 431.2075 - Daily double
Rule 2075.
(1) The
daily double is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to straight
wagering. All tickets on the daily double must be calculated in an entirely
separate pool.
(2) To win a daily
double, it is necessary for the purchaser of a daily double ticket to select
the winners of each of the 2 races specified for the daily double. If either of
his or her selections fails to win, his or her ticket is voided, except as
otherwise provided.
(3) With
respect to a daily double pool, the amount wagered on the winning combination,
such being the horse or betting interest which finishes first in the first race
coupled with the horse finishing first in the second race of the daily double,
is deducted from the net pool to determine the profit. The profit is divided by
the amount wagered on the winning combination, such quotient being the profit
per dollar wagered on the winning daily double. Payoff includes return of the
amount wagered and the profit thereon. In addition, the following provisions
apply to daily double pools:
(a) If there is a
dead heat for first involving 2 different betting interests in 1 of the 2 daily
double races, the daily double pool is distributed as if it were a place pool,
with 1/2 of the profit allocated to wagers combining the single winner of 1
daily double race and 1 of the betting interests involved in the dead heat in
the other daily double race and with the other 1/2 of the profit allocated to
wagers combining the single winner of 1 daily double race and the other betting
interest involved in the dead heat in the other daily double race.
(b) If there are dead heats for first
involving different betting interests in each of the daily double races which
result in winning combinations, the profit shall be allocated equally to the
winning combinations after first deducting from the net pool the amount wagered
on all winning combinations for proportionate allocation for each such winning
daily double wager.
(c) If no daily
double ticket is sold combining the horse or betting interest which finishes
first in 1 of the daily double races, the daily double pool is distributed as
if a win pool, with the profit allocated to wagering combinations which include
the horse or betting interest which finished first in 1 of the daily double
races.
(d) If no daily double
ticket is sold combining the horses or betting interests which finished first
in both the first and second race of the daily double, then the winning
combination for distribution of the daily double profit shall be that combining
the horses or betting interests which finished second in each of the daily
double races.
(e) If, after daily
double wagering has commenced, a horse not coupled with another as a betting
interest in the first race of the daily double is excused by the stewards or is
prevented from racing because of failure of the starting gate to open properly,
then daily double wagers combining such horse shall be deducted from the daily
double pool and shall be refunded upon presentation and surrender of daily
double tickets thereon.
(f) If,
after the first race of the daily double has been run, a horse not coupled with
another as a betting interest in the second race of the daily double is excused
by the stewards or prevented from racing because of failure of the starting
gate door to open properly, then daily double wagers combining the winner of
the first daily double race with such horses prevented from racing in the
second daily double race shall be allocated consolation payoffs.
(g) Consolation daily double payoffs shall be
determined by dividing the net daily double pool by the amount wagered
combining the winner of the first daily double race with every horse or betting
interest scheduled to start in the second daily double race, such quotient
being the consolation payoff per dollar wagered combining the winner of the
first daily double race with such horse prevented from racing in the second
daily double race. Payoff includes return of the amount wagered and the profit
thereon.
(h) If for any reason the
first race of the daily double is cancelled and declared no contest a full and
complete refund shall be made of the daily double pool.
(i) If for any reason the second race of the
daily double is cancelled and declared no contest the net daily double pool
shall be paid to the holders of daily double tickets which include the winner
of the first race.
