+   - **Special Cases**
+       - **Dead Heat Rule** - Dead Heat is a tie between two or, rarely, more runners in a race. If there is a Dead Heat, a bettor wins part of his bet and loses part of his bet. A Dead Heat is calculated by dividing the stake proportionally between the number of winners in the event. For example, in a two-way Dead Heat (2 winners), the punter's return will be half of what it could have been.
+       - **Rule 4** - Rule 4 is an odds deduction that is applied when there is a non-runner in a race that has only been declared at the last minute, i.e. after final declarations for the race have been made and the fixed odds price has been declared. The deduction is applied to all remaining participants of the race.
