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 relevant 'scratchings and deductions' section on the race results page where applicable. This section is located underneath the exotics section on the page.
In the example below, the scratching of Bentley caused an 18c deduction for win bets and a 14c deduction for place bets that were placed prior to 9.49am.
