Simulcast and betting arrangements for Grosser Preis von Berlin Day and Prix Jacques le Marois Day Win and Place bets will be outbound commingled into France PMU pools for Prix Jacques le Marois Day

11/08/2023 20:39

HKJC Horse Race Betting Limited will simulcast two races of Grosser Preis von Berlin Day from Hoppegarten Racecourse in Germany and seven races of Prix Jacques le Marois Day from Deauville Racecourse in France on Sunday, 13 August. Bets will be accepted* for these races and recently added Double will be offered. Two Double Trio pools will be offered for Prix Jacques le Marois Day.

For Grosser Preis von Berlin Day, World Pool will also be hosted (Win, Place, Quinella, Quinella Place, Forecast and Tierce) to ensure maximum liquidity for racing fans.

For Prix Jacques le Marois Day, Win and Place bets will be outbound commingled with the respective pools operated by Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU) of France△, in accordance with the modified horse race betting rules of PMU. Quinella, Quinella Place and other exotic bet pools will still be operated under Hong Kong separate pools. 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.

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 (Photo 1). 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 (Photo 2).  In other words, the final Place odds could either be the same or higher than the value indicated. For more information on outbound commingling, customers can visit the Club’s website at https://campaigns.hkjc.com/outbound-commingling/en/.
