What are deductions?
All Fixed Odds racing (Thoroughbred, Harness and Greyhounds) Bets may be subject to deductions when there is a scratching after you place a bet. Deductions are a standard practice industry-wide and are applied by all bookmakers in Australia.
Deductions is a percentage taken off the fixed price runner due to one or more runners being scratched after your bet was placed.
How do I calculate deductions applied to my bet?
The formula below can be used to calculate and determine the payout of your bet once deductions has 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 the payout.
- $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 return
Where can I see the deductions for a particular race?
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.
As a reference point for what size deduction to expect, please the following Table Of Deductions (guide only).
