BETTING INNOVATION
"DAILY DOUBLE"
AT VALLEY
START OF NEW SEASON
A new feature will be introduced
the betting at the
forthcoming Extra Race Meeting of the Hongkong Jockey Club, and it is hoped, at aub- sequent race meetings, in the form of a pari-mutuel "dally double" or necumulator,
the
To nehlove the double it is neces- sary for backers to spot the winner of two races proviously selected by the Stewards. Those successful in the first race are eligible to back the winner of the second selected race, The Fool, constituted by the number of daily double bets on, the first selected raco after deducting commis Blon will be divided amongst nominators of the winning combing- tion. The procedure is as follows:
Immediately the numbers of the starters in the first selected race are exhibited, tickets on the "daily double" at a cost of $5 each, will be obtain- able at a special Daily Double Counter. The purchaser must state the number of the pany he wishes to back in that race and see that he obtains a ticket bearing that pony number.
The ticket in divided into two acc- tions each bearing the same ticket number, and should the pony backed In the first selected race win, the holder of the ticket musi, after the starters are exhibited for the second selected race, fi in, in words, in English, on both halves of the tickat the number of the pany he wishes to back to complete the "double,"
The bottom half must be posted in box provided, before the ringing of the hell closing the parl-mutuel bet ting on the second of the selected racea. The box will then be removed and all unposted tickets become null and vold.
The top half of the ticket which
is clearly marked, is to be retained by the backer, and presented by him for payment if successful.
It is inadvisable for backers to destroy the unposted portions of their tickets until after the declaration of the dividend, because, if the winning combination fr unbacked, the pool will be divided amongst the success- ful backers in the first selected race.
