Mich. Admin. Code R. 431.2096 - Pick Four
Rule 2096.
(1) The
pick four requires selection of the first place finisher in each of 4
consecutive contests.
(2) The net
pick four pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following
precedence, based upon the official order of finish:
(a) As a single price pool to those whose
selection finished first in each of the 4 contests.
(b) If there are no wagers described in
subdivision (a) of this subrule, as a single price pool to those who selected
the first-place finisher in any 3 of the 4 contests.
(c) If there are no wagers described in
subdivision (a) or (b) of this subrule, as a single price pool to those who
selected the first-place finisher in any 2 of the 4 contests.
(d) If there are no wagers described in
subdivision (a), (b), or (c) of this subrule, as a single price pool to those
who selected the first-place finisher in any 1 of the 4 contests.
(e) If there are no wagers described in
subdivision (a), (b), (c), or (d) of this subrule, the entire pool shall be
refunded on pick four wagers for those contests.
(3) If there is a dead heat for first in any
of the pick four contests, the pick four pool must be distributed as follows:
(a) If contestants represent the same betting
interest, the pick four pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat
occurred.
(b) If contestants
representing 2 or more betting interests, the pick four pool shall be
distributed as a single price pool with each winning wager receiving an equal
share of the profit.
(4)
If a wagering interest is scratched for a pick four contest, or is designated
to run for purse money only, the association shall substitute the actual
favorite, as evidenced by total amounts wagered in the win pool at the host
association for the contest at the close of wagering on that contest, for the
scratched betting interest for all purposes, including pool calculations. If
the win pool total for 2 or more favorites is identical, the substitute
selection shall be the betting interest with the lowest program number. The
totalisator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations
with substituted betting interests which became winners as a result of the
substitution, in addition to the normal winning combination.
(5) The pick four pool shall be cancelled and
all pick four wagers for the individual performance shall be refunded, if at
least 3 contests included as part of a pick four are cancelled or declared no
contest.
(6) If at least 1 contest
included as part of a pick four is cancelled or declared no contest, but not
more than 2 contests, the net pool shall be distributed as a single price pool
to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of pick four
contests for that performance.
