Mystery Favourite Numbers
To have a 'Pot Luck' Favourite Numbers bet, just place an
unmarked ticket into the terminal. The TAB system will
then randomly select two games of seven numbers for a
total cost of $1.
You can also have a 'Systems Pot Luck' by marking how
many numbers you would like, with a maximum of 16.
Winning Favourite Numbers
The Favourite Numbers dividend is declared and paid on
each winning combination. The following table shows the

How do the Favourite Numbers Win?
The Favourite Numbers, 1 through 30, are randomly
allocated by computer to a group of forty races due to be
run on Saturday. The remaining 10 races become the list
of substitute races. If the TAB 'favourite' wins the race, the
Favourite Number allocated to that race is a winning
number. The TAB 'favourite' is the runner with the greatest
value of win bets invested on it. The 'favourite' is
announced by the TAB just prior to the race.
Carryovers
If there are less than seven winning Favourite Numbers or
if no one selects seven winning numbers, then half the
payout pool jackpots to the next week and the other half is
paid to those with the next highest number of winning
Favourite Numbers. Systems entries receive multiple dividends.
Dead Heats
In the case of the 'favourite' dead heating for first, the
number allocated to that race is still a winning number.
Abandoned and Postponed Races
If a race is abandoned or postponed, then the Favourite
Number allocated to it is reallocated to the first available
race from the list of substitute races. It is possible that this
race may have already been run.
Scratchings
If the favourite is scratched, the new favourite will be the
runner with the next highest value of win bets on it.
Commission Rate
A commission rate of 25% is deducted from gross
investments.
