Sec. 16.
(a) The odd-even wager requires the selection of the odd number or the even number of the betting interest, as listed in the official program, which is the first place finisher in a contest.(b) A patron purchasing an odd-even pari-mutuel ticket shall designate "odd" or "even". An "odd" ticket represents a wager on each betting interest with an odd number as listed in the official program in a contest. An "even" ticket represents a wager on each betting interest with an even number as listed in the official program in a contest.(c) The odd-even is a pool separate from, and with no relation to, the win, place, and show pools shown on the totalizator board. The odd-even pool is calculated as a single price pool.(d) If the betting interest finishing first has an odd program number, the odd-even pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets designating odd. If the betting interest finishing first has an even program number, the odd-even pool shall be distributed to the holders of tickets designating even.(e) Except as otherwise provided by this section, if, after wagering has begun a betting interest entered in an odd-even race is scratched, declared out, or prevented from racing, there will be no refund.(f) Except as otherwise provided by this section, if a race ends in a dead heat for first place between a betting interest with an odd program number and a betting interest with an even program number, the program number of the third place finishing betting interest will determine the winners of the odd-even pool. If there is a dead heat for third place between a betting interest with an odd program number and a betting interest with an even program number, the program number of the fifth place betting interest will determine the winners of the odd-even pool. If a race ends a dead heat for first place between three (3) betting interests, the type of program number of the majority of the betting interests involved in the dead heat will determine the winners of the odd-even pool.Indiana Horse Racing Commission; 71 IAC 9-4-16; emergency rule filed Mar 18, 1998, 1:40 p.m.: 21 IR 3023; readopted filed Oct 30, 2001, 11:50 a.m.: 25 IR 899; readopted filed Mar 23, 2007, 11:31 a.m.: 20070404-IR-071070030RFA; readopted filed November 26, 2013, 11:25 a.m.: 20131225-IR-071130345RFAReadopted filed 8/28/2019, 1:23 p.m.: 20190925-IR-071190319RFAReadopted filed 8/3/2023, 12:49 p.m.: 20230830-IR-071230428RFA
