N.M. Code R. § 15.2.7.12 – Calculation of Payouts and Distribution of Pools

A. General:
1. (1) All permitted pari-mutuel wagering pools shall be separately and independently calculated and distributed. Takeouts shall be deducted from each gross pool as stipulated by law. The remainder of the monies in the pool shall constitute the net pool for distribution as payout on winning wagers.
2. (2) For each wagering pool, the amount wagered on the winning betting interest or betting combinations is deducted from the net pool to determine the profit; the profit is then divided by the amount wagered on the winning betting interest or combinations, such quotient being the profit per dollar.
3. (3) Either the standard or net price calculation procedure may be used to calculate single commission pools, while the net price calculation procedure must be used to calculate multi-commission pools.
  STANDARD PRICE CALCULATION PROCEDURE
  SINGLE PRICE POOL (WIN POOL) Gross pool = Sum of wagers on all betting interest - Refunds. Takeout = Gross pool x percent takeout. Net pool = Gross pool - takeout. Profit = Net pool - Gross amount bet on winner. Profit per dollar = Profit/gross amount bet on winner. $1 unbroken price = profit per dollar + $1. $1 broken price = $1 unbroken price rounded down to the break point. Total payout = $1 broken price x gross amount bet on winner. Total breakage = net pool - total payout PROFIT SPLIT (PLACE POOL) Profit is net pool less gross amount bet on all place finishers Finishers split profit ½ and ½ (place profit), then divide by gross amount bet on each place finisher for two unique prices. PROFIT SPLIT (SHOW POOL) Profit is net pool less gross amount bet on all show finishers Finishers split profit 1/3 and 1/3 and 1/3 (show profit), then divide by gross amount bet on each show finisher for three unique prices.
  SINGLE PRICE POOL
  (WIN POOL)
  Gross pool = Sum of wagers on all betting interest - Refunds.
  Takeout = Gross pool x percent takeout.
  Net pool = Gross pool - takeout.
  Profit = Net pool - Gross amount bet on winner.
  Profit per dollar = Profit/gross amount bet on winner.
  $1 unbroken price = profit per dollar + $1.
  $1 broken price = $1 unbroken price rounded down to the break point.
  Total payout = $1 broken price x gross amount bet on winner.
  Total breakage = net pool - total payout
  PROFIT SPLIT
  (PLACE POOL)
  Profit is net pool less gross amount bet on all place finishers
  Finishers split profit ½ and ½ (place profit), then divide by gross amount bet on each place finisher for two unique prices.
  PROFIT SPLIT
  (SHOW POOL)
  Profit is net pool less gross amount bet on all show finishers
  Finishers split profit 1/3 and 1/3 and 1/3 (show profit), then divide by gross amount bet on each show finisher for three unique prices.
  NET PRICE CALCULATION PROCEDURE
  SINGLE PRICE POOL (WIN POOL) Gross pool = Sum of wagers on all betting interests - refunds. Takeout = gross pool x percent takeout for each source. Net pool = gross pool - takeout. Net bet on winner = gross amount bet on winner x (1 percent takeout). Total net pool = sum of all sources net pools total net bet on winner = sum of all sources net bet on winner. Total profit = total net pool - total net bet on winner. Profit per dollar = total profit/total net bet on winner. $1 unbroken base price = profit per dollar + $1* for each source. $1 unbroken price = $1 unbroken base price x (1 percent takeout). $1 broken price = $1 unbroken price rounded down to the break point. Total payout = $1 broken price x gross amount bet on winner. Total breakage = net pool - total payout. PROFIT SPLIT (PLACE POOL) Total profit is the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all place finishers. Finishers split total profit ½ and ½ (place profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each place finisher for two unique unbroken base prices. PROFIT SPLIT (SHOW POOL) Total profit is the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all show finishers. Finishers split total profit 1/3 and 1/3 and 1/3 (show profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each show finisher for three unique unbroken base prices.
  SINGLE PRICE POOL
  (WIN POOL)
  Gross pool = Sum of wagers on all betting interests - refunds.
  Takeout = gross pool x percent takeout for each source.
  Net pool = gross pool - takeout.
  Net bet on winner = gross amount bet on winner x (1 percent takeout).
  Total net pool = sum of all sources net pools total net bet on winner = sum of all sources net bet on winner.
  Total profit = total net pool - total net bet on winner.
  Profit per dollar = total profit/total net bet on winner.
  $1 unbroken base price = profit per dollar + $1* for each source.
  $1 unbroken price = $1 unbroken base price x (1 percent takeout).
  $1 broken price = $1 unbroken price rounded down to the break point.
  Total payout = $1 broken price x gross amount bet on winner.
  Total breakage = net pool - total payout.
  PROFIT SPLIT
  (PLACE POOL)
  Total profit is the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all place finishers.
  Finishers split total profit ½ and ½ (place profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each place finisher for two unique unbroken base prices.
  PROFIT SPLIT
  (SHOW POOL)
  Total profit is the total net pool less the total net amount bet on all show finishers.
  Finishers split total profit 1/3 and 1/3 and 1/3 (show profit), then divide by total net amount bet on each show finisher for three unique unbroken base prices.
4. (4) If a profit split results in only one covered winning betting interest or combinations it shall be calculated the same as a single price pool.
5. (5) Minimum payouts and the method used for calculating breakage shall be established by the commission.
6. (6) The individual pools outlined in these rules may be given alternative names by each association, provided prior approval is obtained from the commission.

D. Show Pools:
1. (1) The amounts wagered to show on the first three betting interests to finish are deducted from the net pool, the balance remaining being the profit; the profit is divided into three equal portions, one being assigned to each winning betting interest and divided by the amount wagered to show on that betting interest, the resulting quotient being the profit per dollar wagered to show on that betting interest.
2. (2) The net show pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:
  1. (a) if contestants of a coupled entry or mutuel field finished in the first three places, as a single price pool to those who selected the coupled entry or mutuel field; otherwise;
  2. (b) if contestants of a coupled entry or mutuel field finished as two of the first three finishers, the profit is divided with two-thirds distributed to those who selected the coupled entry or mutuel field and one-third distributed to those who selected the other betting interest included within the first three finishers; otherwise

E. Double Pools:
1. (1) The double requires selection of the first-place finisher in each of two specified contests.
2. (2) The net double pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:

4. (4) Should a betting interest in the first-half of the double be scratched prior to the first double contest being declared official, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest shall be deducted from the double pool and refunded.
5. (5) Should a betting interest in the second-half of the double be scratched prior to the close of wagering on the first double contest, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest shall be deducted from the double pool and refunded.
6. (6) Should a betting interest in the second-half of the double be scratched after the close of wagering on the first double contest, all wagers combining the winner of the first contest with the scratched betting interest in the second contest shall be allocated a consolation payout. In calculating the consolation payout the net double pool shall be divided by the total amount wagered on the winner of the first contest and an unbroken consolation price obtained. The broken consolation price is multiplied by the dollar value of wagers on the winner of the first contest combined with the scratched betting interest to obtain the consolation payout. Breakage is not utilized in this calculation. The consolation payout is deducted from the net double pool before calculation and distribution of the winning double payout. Dead heats including separate betting interests in the first contest shall result in a consolation payout calculated as a profit split.
7. (7) If either of the double contests is cancelled prior to the first double contest, or the first double contest is declared "no contest", the entire double pool shall be refunded on double wagers for those contests.
8. (8) If the second double contest is cancelled or declared "no contest" after the conclusion of the first double contest, the net double pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to wagers selecting the winner of the first double contest.

(4) Should a betting interest in any of the pick three contest be scratched, the actual favorite, as evidenced by total amounts wagered in the win pool at the close of wagering on that contest, shall be substituted for the scratched betting interest for all purposes, including pool calculations. In the event that the win pool total for two or more favorites is identical, the substitute selection shall be the betting interest with the lowest program number. The totalisator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted betting interests which became winners as the result of the substitution, in addition to the normal winning combinations.
5. (5) If all three pick three contests are cancelled or declared "no contest"; the entire pool shall be refunded on pick three wagers for those contests.

4. (4) Should a betting interest in any of the pick (n) contest be scratched, the actual favorite, as evidenced by total amounts wagered in the win pool at the close of wagering on that contest, shall be substituted for the scratched betting interest for all purposes, including pool calculations. In the event that the win pool total for two or more favorites is identical, the substitute selection shall be the betting interest with the lowest program number. The totalisator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted betting interests which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to the normal winning combinations.
5. (5) The pick (n) pool shall be cancelled and all pick (n) wagers for the individual performance shall be refunded if:

Such distribution shall include the portion ordinarily retained for the pick (n) carryover but not the carryover from previous performances.
7. (7) The pick (n) carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the pick (n) carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the pick (n) carryover will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the pick (n) carryover is frozen, 100 percent of the net pool, part of which ordinarily would be added to the pick (n) carryover, shall be distributed to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of pick (n) contests for that performance.
8. (8) A written request for permission to distribute the pick (n) carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the commission. The request must contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution.
9. (9) Should the pick (n) carryover be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in which there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in each of the pick (n) contests, the entire pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of pick (n) contests. The pick (n) carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:
  1. (a) upon written approval from the commission as provided in Paragraph (8) of Subsection G of 15.2.7 NMAC of this section;

  1. (a) contestants representing the same betting interest, the solo 6 pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred;
  2. (b) contestants representing two or more betting interests, the solo 6 pool shall be distributed as a single price pool with each winning wager receiving an equal share of that day’s pool if there is more than one winning ticket.
4. (4) Should a betting interest in any of the solo 6 contests be scratched or determined to be a non-starter, the actual favorite, as evidenced by the total amounts wagered in the win pool at the close of wagering on that contest, shall be substituted for the scratched betting interest for all purposes, including pool calculations. In the event that the win pool total for two or more favorites is identical, the substitute selection shall be the betting interest with the lowest program number.
5. (5) The solo 6 pool shall be cancelled and all solo 6 wagers for the individual performance shall be refunded if at least three contests included as part of the solo 6 are cancelled or declared a no contest.
6. (6) If at least one contest of the solo 6 is cancelled or declared a no contest, but not more than three contests, the net pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of solo 6 contests for that performance. Such distribution shall include the portion ordinarily retained for the solo 6 carryover, but not the carryover from previous performances.
7. (7) The solo 6 carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the New Mexico racing commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the solo 6 carryover will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the solo 6 carryover is frozen, one hundred per cent of the net pool, part of which ordinarily would be added to the solo 6 carryover, shall be distributed to those whose selections finished first in the greatest number of solo 6 contests for that performance.
8. (8) A written request for permission to distribute the solo 6 carryover on a specific date shall be submitted to the New Mexico racing commission. The request must contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date of the distribution.
9. (9) Should the solo 6 be designated for distribution on a specific date, the unique wager provision of this subsection shall be suspended, and the entire pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of solo 6 contests. The solo 6 carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specific date and performance only under the following circumstances:
  1. (a) upon written approval from the New Mexico racing commission as provided in Paragraph (8) of Subsection H of 15.2.7.12 NMAC;
  2. (b) when the solo 6 is discontinued; or
  3. (c) on the closing day of the meet.
10. (10) If for any reason the solo 6 carryover must be held over to the corresponding solo 6 pool or subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited into an interest bearing account approved by the New Mexico racing commission. The solo 6 carryover, plus accrued interest, shall then be added to the net solo 6 pool of the following meet. Following meet would be defined as next racing season of the racetrack where the carryover occurred.
11. (11) Association may suspend previously approved solo 6 wagering with the prior approval of the New Mexico racing commission. Any carryover shall be held until the suspended solo 6 wagering is reinstated.
  Solo 6, as used in this rule, shall mean the selection of winners in six contests during the course of an official racing program.
I. Place Pick (n) Pools:
1. (1) The place pick (n) is a separate pari-mutuel pool established by the association on a designated number of races. The pool consists of amounts wagered on a horse to finish first or second in each of the races. It is not a parlay and has no connection with or relation to other pools conducted by the association, except for the provisions in Paragraph (5) of Subsection H of 15.2.7.12 NMAC, or to rules governing the distribution of other pools.

J. Grand Slam Pools:
1. (1) The grand slam requires selection of the official first, second or third place finisher in each of the first three races in a series of four designated grand slam races.

The association must obtain written approval from the commission for the initial scheduling or specific performances of grand slam races or any other name used to characterize this bet type and identify the pari-mutuel pool and any required distribution percentages. Changes to the approved grand slam format, or suspension of previously approved grand slam wagering, require prior approval from the commission.
2. (2) The grand slam pool shall be apportioned under the following method:
  1. (a) Grand slam wager with no carryover; the net grand slam pool shall be distributed from a single betting pool to participants who selected the first, second or third place finisher in the first three races of a series of four grand slam races completing a winning wager with the selection of the first place finisher in the fourth and final grand slam event in this same series, based upon the official order of finish.
  2. (b) Grand slam wager with no carryover; if there are no winning wagers taking into account all four segments of the grand slam wager, the pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first place finisher in the fourth and final grand slam event in this series of races along with the greatest number of first, second or third place finishers each of which had an accompanying show pari-mutuel payout, in accordance with Subsection M of 15.2.7.8 NMAC in each of the first three races in the series of four designated grand slam races. All results are based upon the official order of finish for each race.
3. (3) If there is a dead heat for the first in any of the grand slam segments involving:
  1. (a) Official program numbered horses representing the same betting interest, the grand slam pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.
  2. (b) Official program numbered horses representing two or more betting interests, the grand slam pool shall be distributed from a single betting pool with a winning wager including each betting interest participating in the dead heat provided each entrant has a pari-mutuel show payout within its race.

  1. (a) The actual favorite, as evidenced by total amounts wagered in the win pool at the association for the contest at the close of wagering on that contest, shall be substituted for the scratched betting interest for all purposes, including pool calculation. In the event that the win pool total for two or more favorites is identical, the substitute selection shall be the betting interest with the greatest amount of money in the place pool. The totalisator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted betting interests which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to the normal winning combination.
  2. (b) Should a scratch or scratches occur in any of the first three races in a series of four designated grand slam contests and subsequently show wagering is cancelled due to an insufficient number of remaining betting interests, this race for winning grand slam wagering purposes would include the win and place horse only.
6. (6) The grand slam pool shall be canceled and all grand slam wagers for the individual performance shall be refunded if at least two contests included as part of a grand slam wager are cancelled or declared "no contest".
7. (7) If at least one race included as part of a grand slam wager is canceled or declared "no contest", but not more than the number specified in Paragraph (6) of Subsection I of 15.2.7.12 NMAC, the net pool shall be distributed from a single betting pool to those bettors whose selections finished first, second or third in the greatest number of grand slam contests in the first three races in a series of four designated grand slam contests. In determining a pari-mutuel distribution under this section, a finish of first in the final and fourth designated grand slam contest race for the performance in question shall have the same weight as a finish of first, second or third in the greatest number of grand slam contests in the first three races in a series of four designated grand slam contests.
8. (8) When the condition of the turf course warrants a change of racing surface in any of the legs of the grand slam races, and such change has not been made known to the betting public prior to the close of wagering for the grand slam pool, the stewards shall declare the changed leg(s) a "no contest" for grand slam wagering purposes and the pool shall be distributed in accord with Paragraph (7) of Subsection I of 15.2.7.12 NMAC.
9. (9) Providing information to any person regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations, number of tickets sold, or number of live tickets remaining prior to the third segment of the wager being made official is strictly prohibited.

In calculating the consolation payout the net quinella double pool shall be divided by the total amount wagered on the winning combination in the first contest and an unbroken consolation price obtained. The unbroken consolation price is multiplied by the dollar value of wagers on the winning combination in the first contest combined with a combination including the scratched betting interest in the second contest to obtain the consolation payout.

In the event that there is more than one winning wager whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first five betting interests, a unique winning wager shall be deemed to not have occurred.
  2. (b) If an association elects to offer the unique winning wager option, the net pentafecta (super hi-5) pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following order of precedence, based on the official order of finish:
    1. (1) as a single price pool, including any applicable carryover, to the holder of a unique winning wager whose combination finished in correct sequences as the first five betting interests, but if there is no such unique winning wager, then,

The request must be for a specified date no greater than one year from the date the request is submitted. Should the pentafecta (super hi-5) net pool and any applicable carryover be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in where there is no unique winning wager, the entire pool shall be distributed using the method described in this subsection.
9. (9) The minimum number of betting interests required to start in a contest in which pentafecta (super hi-5) wagering is offered shall be seven.
10. (10) Associations electing to offer the net carryover pentafecta or unique payout (super hi-5) pool may, prior to offering the wager designate the jackpot carryover amount at any given percentage of the net pool; the remaining percentages will be the minor pool portion, if any. This elected percentage may not be changed during the performance on which the pentafecta (super hi-5) is conducted in the carryover method.
11. (11) At the association's discretion, the pentafecta (super hi-5) wager may be discontinued and there will be a final distribution of any jackpot carryover combined with the final net pool of the final pentafecta (super hi-5) race and priced as a single price pool as described in Paragraph (3) of this subsection.

R. Twin Trifecta Pools:
1. (1) The twin trifecta requires selection of the first three finishers, in their exact order, in each of two designated contests. Each winning ticket for the first twin trifecta contest must be exchanged for a free ticket on the second twin trifecta contest in order to remain eligible for the second-half twin trifecta pool. Such tickets may be exchanged only at attended ticket windows prior to the second twin trifecta contest. Winning first half twin trifecta wagers will receive both an exchange and a monetary payout. Both of the designated twin trifecta contests shall be included in only one twin trifecta pool.
2. (2) After wagering closes for the first half of the twin trifecta and commissions have been deducted from the pool, the net pool shall then be divided into separate pools; the first-half twin trifecta pool and the second-half twin trifecta pool.
3. (3) In the first twin trifecta contest only, winning wagers shall be determined using the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the first twin trifecta contest:
  1. (a) a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
  2. (b) as a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
  3. (c) as a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first-place betting interest only; but if there are no such wagers, then
  4. (d) the entire twin trifecta pool shall be refunded on twin trifecta wagers for that contest and the second-half shall be cancelled.
4. (4) If no first-half twin trifecta ticket selects the first three finishers of that contest in exact order, winning ticket holders shall not receive any exchange tickets for the second-half twin trifecta pool. In such case, the second-half twin trifecta pool shall be retained and added to any existing twin trifecta carryover pool.
5. (5) Winning tickets from the first half of the twin trifecta shall be exchanged for tickets selecting the first three finishers of the second half of the twin trifecta. The second-half twin trifecta pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish for the second twin trifecta contest:
  1. (a) as a single price pool, including any existing carryover monies, to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three betting interests; but if there are no such tickets, then
  2. (b) The entire second-half twin trifecta pool for that contest shall be added to any existing carryover monies and retained for the corresponding second-half twin trifecta pool of the next consecutive performance.
6. (6) If a winning first-half twin trifecta ticket is not presented for cashing and exchange prior to the second-half twin trifecta contest, the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value associated with the first-half twin trifecta pool but forfeits all rights to any distribution of the second-half twin trifecta pool.

If tickets have not been exchanged prior to the close of betting for the second twin trifecta contest, the ticket holder forfeits all rights to the second-half twin trifecta pool.
9. (9) If, due to a late scratch, the number of betting interests in the second-half of the twin trifecta is reduced to fewer than the minimum, all exchange tickets and outstanding first-half winning tickets shall be entitled to the second-half twin trifecta pool for that contest as a single price pool, but not the twin trifecta carryover.
10. (10) If there is a dead heat or multiple dead heats in either the first or second-half of the twin trifecta, all twin trifecta wagers selecting the correct order of finish, counting a betting interest involved in a dead heat as finishing in any dead-heated position, shall be a winner. In the case of a dead heat occurring in:
  1. (a) the first half of the twin trifecta, the payout shall be calculated as a profit split;
  2. (b) the second half of the twin trifecta, the payout shall be calculated as a single price pool.
11. (11) If either of the twin trifecta contests are cancelled prior to the first twin trifecta contest, or the first twin trifecta contest is declared "no contest", the entire twin trifecta pool shall be refunded on twin trifecta wagers for that contest and the second-half shall be cancelled.
12. (12) If the second-half twin trifecta contest is cancelled or declared "no contest", all exchange tickets and outstanding first-half winning twin trifecta tickets shall be entitled to the net twin trifecta pool for that contest as a single price pool, but not twin trifecta carryover. If there are no such tickets, the net twin trifecta pool shall be distributed as described in Paragraph (3) of Subsection N of 15.2.7 NMAC.

(13) The twin trifecta carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the twin trifecta carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the twin trifecta carryover will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the twin trifecta carryover is frozen, 100 percent of the net twin trifecta pool for each individual contest shall be distributed to winners of the first half of the twin trifecta pool.
14. (14) A written request for permission to distribute the twin trifecta carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the commission. The request must contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution.
15. (15) Should the twin trifecta carryover be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence will be followed in determining winning tickets for the second-half of the twin trifecta after completion of the first half of the twin trifecta:
  1. (a) as a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first three betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
  2. (b) as a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then
  3. (c) as a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first-place betting interest only; but if there are no such wagers, then
  4. (d) as a single price pool to holders of valid exchange tickets.

16. (16) Contrary to Paragraph (4) of Subsection N of 15.2.7 NMAC, during a performance designated to distribute the twin trifecta carryover, exchange tickets will be issued for those combinations selecting the greatest number of betting interests in their correct order of finish for the first-half of the twin trifecta. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first, second, and third-place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first and second-place betting interests. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first and second-place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first-place betting interest only. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place betting interest only in the first-half of the twin trifecta, all first-half tickets will become winners and will receive 100 percent of that day's net twin trifecta pool and any existing twin trifecta carryover as a single price pool.
17. (17) The twin trifecta carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:
  1. (a) upon written approval from the commission as provided in Paragraph (15) of Subsection N of 15.2.7 NMAC;

  3. (c) on the closing performance of the meet or split meet.
18. (18) If, for any reason, the twin trifecta carryover must be held over to the corresponding twin trifecta pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the commission. The twin trifecta carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the second-half twin trifecta pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the commission.
19. (19) Providing information to any person regarding covered combinations or amount wagered on specific combinations is prohibited. This shall not prohibit necessary communication between totalisator and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data.

If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first, second, and third-place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first and second-place betting interests. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first and second-place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first-place betting interest only. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place betting interest only in the first-half of the twin superfecta, all first-half tickets will become winners and will receive 100 percent of that day's net twin superfecta pool and any existing twin superfecta carryover as a single price pool.
18. (18) The twin superfecta carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:

  2. (b) upon written approval from the commission when there is a change in the carryover cap or when the twin superfecta is discontinued;
  3. (c) on the closing performance of the meet or split meet.
19. (19) If, for any reason, the twin superfecta carryover must be held over to the corresponding twin twin superfecta pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the commission.
20. (20) Providing information to any person regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations, number of tickets sold, or number of valid exchange tickets is prohibited. This shall not prohibit necessary communication between totalisator and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data.
21. (21) The association must obtain written approval from the commission concerning the scheduling of twin superfecta contests, the percentages of the net pool added to the first-half pool and second-half pool, and the amount of any cap to be set on the carryover. Any subsequent changes to the approved twin superfecta format require prior approval from the commission.

  1. (a) Should a betting interest in any contest of the exacta (n) be scratched or excused from the contest after the first exacta (n) contest has been declared official, all money wagered on combinations including this betting interest shall remain in the exacta (n) pool and the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value of any distribution evidenced by the ticket containing the scratched betting interest.
  2. (b) If, due to a late scratch, the number of betting interests in a contest of the exacta (n) is reduced to fewer than two, for purposes of the exacta (n) such contests shall be declared "no contest" and the exacta (n) pool shall be subject to the rules set forth in Paragraph (5) of Subsection Q of 15.2.7 NMAC of these rules.
5. (5) Cancelled Contests: If any of the exacta (n) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" prior to the first exacta (n) contest being declared official, the entire exacta (n) pool shall be refunded on exacta (n) wagers for those contests.

  4. (d) If there are no wagers which correctly selected the first and second place finishers, in exact order, in at least one of the exacta (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, then all exacta (n) tickets shall become winners and receive 100 percent of that day's net exacta (n) pool and the exacta (n) carryover pool as single price pool.
  5. (e) Subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the commission. The exacta (n) carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the net exacta (n) pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the commission.
V. Team Wager Pool:
1. (1) The team wager pool requires selection of a designated “team” in each of a designated number of contests. Winning bets shall be determined based upon the official order of finish in each contest and the standing of each team with respect to the official order of finish. For purposes of the team wager, finishers from the same team shall be bracketed together to determine a single betting interest, as set forth in Paragraph (4).
2. (2) Prior to the start of the contests that comprise the team wager, all participants in each of the contests shall be divided by the association between or among each of the team wager teams, and the roster of each team made public, as well as the number of points to be awarded to the team whose member is the first finisher in a designated contest, the second finisher, and so forth until no more points are awarded in that contest.
3. (3) At the conclusion of all contests that comprise the team wager, the number of points for each team shall be compiled, and the team with the most points shall be declared the “winning team”.
4. (4) The team wager pool shall be apportioned under either of the following methods:
  1. (a) Winning Margins Team Wager:
    1. (i) In the “winning margins team wager”, the total number of points awarded in the team wager shall be divided by the association into a series of brackets comprised of a series of point ranges (“winning margin”) by which one team (team A) might defeat the other team (team B); a series of point ranges by which team B might defeat team A; and a tie between the teams. Each bracket shall constitute a separate betting interest in the winning margins team wager.
    2. (ii) The net winning margins team wager pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the correct bracket. If there are no wagers selecting the correct bracket, the entire pool shall be refunded.
    3. (iii) Example: Points are assigned to each of the first four finishers in each contest (four points for the first finisher down to one point for the fourth finisher, for a total of 10 points awarded in each contest), based upon the official order of finish, with a total of six contests in the team wager, resulting in a total of 60 points in all. The brackets could be designated as:
      Team A’s winning margin is 1-10 points 11-20 points 21-30 points 31-40 points 41-50 points 51-60 points Team B’s winning margin is 1-10 points 11-20 points 21-30 points 31-40 points 41-50 points 51-60 points The two teams tie, and the margin is 0 points In this example, there are 13 separate betting interests If, in this example, finishers representing team A come in 1st and 3rd in one contest, and finishers representing team B come in 2nd and 4th in that contest, team A would have 4+2=6 points and team B would have 3+1=4 points. The current winning margin (after the first contest) would be team A by 2 points
      Team A’s winning margin is
      1-10 points
      11-20 points
      21-30 points
      31-40 points
      41-50 points
      51-60 points
      Team B’s winning margin is
      1-10 points
      11-20 points
      21-30 points
      31-40 points
      41-50 points
      51-60 points
      The two teams tie, and the margin is 0 points
      In this example, there are 13 separate betting interests
      If, in this example, finishers representing team A come in 1st and 3rd in one contest, and finishers representing team B come in 2nd and 4th in that contest, team A would have 4+2=6 points and team B would have 3+1=4 points. The current winning margin (after the first contest) would be team A by 2 points
  2. (b) Team Double Wager
    1. (i) In the “team double wager”, the commission shall approve two different methods of determining the winning tickets qualifying for a share of the net pool.
    2. (ii) The commission shall also approve the manner of apportioning the net team double wager pool, and the conditions under which the pool shall be refunded or otherwise apportioned if there are no winning wagers.
    3. (iii) Example: A “daily-double”-style pool consisting of having to correctly select the bracket of the winning margin, as above, as well as a bracket based upon and including the total points achieved by the winning team.
5. (5) Brackets
  1. (a) The brackets may be comprised of the margins by which the winning team defeats the team that finishes second; the total number of points achieved by the winning team; or other method of determining the brackets, as approved by the commission.
  2. (b) Such factors as the number of teams in the team wager; the method by which teams are designated; the number of points to be awarded in each contest, the number of contests comprising the team wager; and the method by which the “brackets” constituting each betting interest in the team wager are designated, shall all be subject to approval of the commission.
6. (6) Coupled Entries or Fields: With approval of the commission, coupled entries may be permitted in contests comprising the team wager, but may only participate as part of the same team. With approval of the commission, fields may be permitted in contests comprising the team wager, but may only participate as part of the same team.
7. (7) Dead Heat: If there is a dead heat including any finisher(s) for which points are awarded in the team wager, the total amount of points in the dead heat positions shall be combined and divided equally amongst the betting interests that have finished in the dead heat.
8. (8) Scratches
  1. (a) Should an entry in any contest of the team wager be scratched or excused from the contest, all money wagered on combinations including this entry shall remain in the team wager pool and the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value of any distribution evidenced by the ticket containing the scratched betting interest.
  2. (b) If, due to a scratched or excused entry, the number of entries assigned to a team in a contest of the team wager is reduced to fewer than the number of positions in the final order of finish for which the team is eligible to receive points, for purposes of the team wager pool such contest shall be declared “no contest” and wagers involving any betting interests that are no longer capable of being achieved shall be refunded.
W. Match Rival Pools:
1. (1) The match rival requires the selection of the winning contestant in a designated contest or series of contests, in a competition between two or more equally matched betting interests, or based on the sportsmanship or skill of the jockeys or trainers, regardless of the official placing of the other betting interests in that contest or series of contests.
2. (2) The choice of which contestants from a contest shall participate in the match rival shall be made as follows:

  2. (b) the match rival pool shall be refunded;
4. (4) If there is a dead heat in a contest involving two or more of the contestants in:
  1. (a) a single-contest match rival pool, then the entire pool shall be refunded; or
  2. (b) one or more contests of a series, then all contestants involved in the dead heat shall be considered winners and the net pool shall be distributed as a single price pool, provided that:
  3. (c) in a series of contests, if there is a dead heat in half or more of the contests then the match rival pool for those contests shall be refunded.
5. (5) If any match rival contest is cancelled or declared no contest;
  1. (a) in a single-contest match rival pool, the pools shall be refunded;
  2. (b) in a series of contests, if half or more of the contests are cancelled or declared no contest, then the match rival pool for those contests shall be refunded.
6. (6) If any contestant is scratched or declared a non-starter in any match rival contest, then that contest shall be cancelled.
7. (7) If all contestants fail to finish in a match rival contest, then that contest shall be cancelled.

Points scored will be equivalent to adding the pari-mutuel pool host payouts for its finish. Points scored will be equivalent to adding the pari-mutuel pool host payouts for the win, place and show wager on that selection (i.e. $2 win, $2 place and $2 show wagers).
6. (6) Points are accumulated after each contest in the 123Racing pick-n pool and displayed on a leaderboard shown at betting venues and online.
7. (7) Each 123Racing pick-n wager is assigned a unique identifier or nickname associated with the serial number of the ticket or account wager record. This unique identifier or nickname is used to identify the wagers' progress on the leaderboard display.
8. (8) The unique 123Racing pick-n wagers with the highest points scores after the last designated contest, share in the payouts of the net pool according to paragraph (14) of this subsection.
9.
