For thoroughbred and greyhound racing, a reduction may be applied to the price offered when the same runner is selected in both legs of a Racing Double. This reduction will generally apply when, in the view of TAB Sportsbet, the price in the second leg race will subsequently be reduced as a result of that horse winning the first leg.

Where this occurs, the price of the Racing Double will be reduced by a percentage based on the WIN price for your runner in the 2nd leg. The percentage deduction to be applied is shown in the table below.
 

Price Range	Percentage Reduction of 2nd Leg
1.01 - 4.00	25
4.01 - 6.00	30
6.01 - 8.00	35
8.01 - 11.00	40
11.01 - 15.00	45
15.01 - 18.00	50
18.01 - 23.00	55
23.01 - 31.00	60
31.01 - 51.00	65
51.01 - 71.00	70
71.01 - 101.00	72.50
101.01 - 251.00	77.50
251.01 - 501.00	82.50

So, for example if you selected:
Makybe Diva - Caulfield Cup @ price of $10.00
Makybe Diva - Melbourne Cup @ price of $8.00

The deduction applied in the Melbourne Cup would be 35% giving an amended price of $5.20.

Thus your Racing Double Price = $10.00 x $5.20 = $52.00

The majority of Racing Doubles will not be affected by this situation. However if you do select the same runner to win both legs of a Racing Double:

• Cash customers must check their tickets to confirm the amended price and if you are unhappy with the reduction, request the operator to cancel the bet.
• Phone customers must listen carefully to the operator calling back your bet and if you are unhappy with the reduction, request the operator to cancel the bet.
• Internet customers must check the Bet Confirmation slip prior to submitting the bet. Submitted bets cannot be cancelled.
