The Hong Kong Jockey Club has announced that Win and Place bets on designated simulcast races from France will be outbound commingled with the respective pools operated by Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU), France, in accordance with the modified horse race betting rules of PMU.
Betting on outbound commingled pools is similar to the way of betting on Hong Kong pools. The odds are calculated according to PMU’s method, that is, the investment is deducted prior to the division of the dividend pool. The odds displayed will change to show the odds of the PMU pools when the Hong Kong investment of the current race has been outbound commingled with PMU, and after the dividends of the preceding race have been confirmed. The Place odds are the minimum value odds in the range. In other words, the final Place odds could either be the same or higher than the value indicated.
If the bets on outbound commingling pools cannot be included in the PMU pools, the dividends will then be calculated based on the Hong Kong pool only and in accordance with PMU’s calculation formula.
Outbound commingling will be first available on the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Day this Sunday, 6 October. Details on the pools and betting arrangements for Sunday’s simulcast races will be announced separately.
For more information on outbound commingling, product leaflets are available in the Club’s Off-Course Betting Branches and Racecourses, or customers can visit the Club’s website at www.hkjcracing.com.
