SPORTSBETTING.COM offers daily racing from tracks within North America via the racing module which is accessible once you have logged-in to your wagering account. We accept wagers up until post time. We cannot assume liability for wagers that are unsuccessfully entered before post time. Only wagers confirmed are accepted. Please check the Tickets/Balance screen on the Reports tab before logging out, in order to confirm that your wagers were accepted. Once you confirm a bet online, your wager is considered final. Bets shall not be accepted after post-time. In the event that the race begins before the advertised post-time and for that reason (or any other reason) you are able to place a wager after the race has started, that wager will be void.
Pick 3 and Pick 4 Grading and Payout Rules
All Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets are paid out based on the official race results as published by the host track at which the race was run. If there is a scratched horse in any Pick 3 or Pick 4, only combinations including the scratched horse will be refunded.
We do not recognize consolation payouts, such as payouts on scratched horses, 2 out 3 special Pick 3 payout and/or 3 out of 4 special Pick 4 payout. Whenever a track pays "ALL" in any of the positions of the Pick 3 or Pick 4 only wagers with the WINNING horse will be paid.
Daily Double Grading and Payout Rules
All Daily Double tickets are paid out based on the official race results as published by the host track at which the race was run. If there is a scratched horse in a DD, only combinations including the scratched horse will be refunded.
We do not recognize consolation payouts, such as payouts on scratched horses. Whenever a track pays "ALL" in any of the positions of the Daily Double only the wagers with the WINNING horse will be paid.

(This does not apply to "Odds to Win" bets placed via the sportsbook. On those bets a scratch counts as a loss). Only the portion of Exacta/Trifecta/Superfecta/Quinella combos that contain the scratched horse will be refunded. In case a horse is considered a Non Starter by the track, that horse will be considered a scratch and refunded accordingly. In exotics wagers (Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta, Quinella) scratches will be refunded. We do not honor "ALL" payouts in any exotic wager. If there is an "all" payout, this will be replaced by the horse that came in that position rightfully and wagers will be graded accordingly.
On Daily Doubles, Pick 3 and Pick 4 wagers, a scratch will result in an automatic refund of the combination including the scratched horse. There will be no consolation payouts, special payouts such as 2 out of 3 and/or Pick 3 out of 4 in a Pick 3 or Pick 4 will be considered consolation payouts, whenever that happens the Pick 3 and/or Pick 4 will be paid with the rightful winner for each race involved in the Pick 3 and/or Pick 4. Official Source of Results For thoroughbred racing we use www.drf.com as our official source of results. For harness racing we use www.racingchannel.com or the tracks' websites.

Matchups
In matchups between two or more named horses, all horses must go for wagers to have action.
Matchups are determined by horse name. Any track coupling is?irrelevant towards determining the winner of a matchup.
In matchups between one named horse and the Field, wagers will have action if and only if the named horse starts. Scratches of horses in the Field will not affect the standing of the wager.
Matchups are not eligible for rebates.
The winner of a matchup will be determined by the highest placed finisher involved in the matchup. If no horse finishes, the matchup will be graded no action.
Matchup wagers which indicate "Turf Only" will be cancelled if the surface is changed.
In the case of a dead heat, the matchup will be graded no action.
