Forecasts are accepted for all races of 3 or more actual runners and will be settled as a straight forecast (selections to finish 1st and 2nd in correct order) in accordance with the computer straight forecast dividend. If there are less than 3 actually running in a race, then all forecasts for that race will be deemed no action. In the event of no straight forecast dividend being declared, then forecasts will be settled in accordance with the NSL straight forecast chart provided that 3 or more actually run in that race.
You may take early prices or show prices in straight forecasts when available, in a fixed odds forecast. If any withdrawals result in a total Rule 4 (Deductions) of $0.10 in the $ or greater, then a fixed odds forecast will be settled at the computer forecast dividend.
Forecast bets are not accepted containing unnamed favorites.
