Horse Racing Disclaimer regarding horses that are scratched

If you pick a horse, and it is a scratch, you don't get your vCash back. We have to do this only because we don't have the capability of being an actual ticket window and give back vCash. Your best bet is to wait as long as you can to bet on a horse.
(edit: can't fix odds to change payouts)

Also, with vBookie's capabilities, we use morning line odds only.

(note a change: April 5)
In the event of coupled entries (i.e. when horses are given #'s 1A, 2X, 2B, 12F, 13F, 14F etc.), if you bet any part of the entry, you get the entire entry in your bet. For instance if you bet on #1A and #1 wins, you win.

Also Eligibles, noted by [AE], must draw into a race when other horses are scratched. Some races have more entrants than spots in the race. Assume that these horses are scratched until the changes are released, if I can't get here to post it, you should probably take it upon yourself to look it up via the racetrack's web site.

Main Track Only [MTO], are horses that will only run if a Turf race is switched to dirt due to track conditions. Assume these horses are scratched until changes are released.
