Prohibited lay betting

GAR166 Prohibited lay betting
(1) For the purposes of this rule “lay” means the offering or placing of a bet:
(a) on a greyhound to lose an Event;
(b) on a greyhound to be beaten by any other runner or runners in an Event, other than a
bet on multiple runners of a type which will generate a dividend if all elements of that
bet type are satisfied;
[Note: two examples of this type of bet include an exacta bet where the bet is on a greyhound
finishing second, and a trifecta bet where the bet is on a greyhound finishing second or third.]
(c) on a greyhound to be beaten by any margin or range of margins in an Event;
(d) on a greyhound that it will not be placed in any one of the first four finishing placings
in an Event; or
(e) on all greyhounds in a race in any bet type to the exclusion of a greyhound trained or
owned by a person.
(2) An offence is committed if any person directly involved or employed in the nomination,
training or care of a greyhound or a person who has provided a service connected to a
greyhound in the period of 21 days prior to an Event, lays the relevant greyhound in an
Event.
(3) In circumstances where it is an offence for a person to lay a greyhound pursuant to subrule
(2) of this rule, an offence is also committed if that person:
(a) has a greyhound laid on the person’s behalf; or
(b) receives any money or other consideration in any way connected with the laying of a
greyhound by another person.
(4) An offence is committed if a person offers an inducement to a participant in greyhound
racing with the intention of profiting from a greyhound not participating in an Event to the
best of its ability.
