The formula below can be used to calculate and determine the payout of your bet once deductions have been applied.
- Stake x Odds = Return of Original Payout
- Return of Original Payout x Deductions per dollar = Deducted amount
- Return of Original Payout - Deducted Amount = Actual Payout
Example of a payout with a 20c deduction:
$10 stake x $3.50 odds = $35 potential payout
$35 potential payout x $0.20 deduction per dollar (20%) = $35 x 0.20 = $7 deducted amount
$35 potential payout - $7 deducted amount = $28 actual payout
You can find the scratchings and deductions at the bottom of the race results page where applicable. If there are no scratchings in the race, there will be nothing displayed.
In the example below, the scratching of Vinrock caused a 22c deduction for win bets and a 16c deduction for place bets that were placed prior to 6.08pm on the 31st of October. Any bets placed after 6.08pm will not have been impacted by deductions.
