IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THE SOCIAL NATURE OF THE WAGER, ONLY THE CAPTAIN MAY CANCEL THE WAGER. NEVERTHELESS, ALL WAGERS PLACED BY THE CAPTAINS AND PARTICIPANTS UNDER BET SHARE ARE THE INDIVIDUAL WAGERS OF SUCH CAPTAIN OR PARTICIPANT AND THE ACTIVITIES HEREUNDER DO NOT CREATE SEPARATE POOLS. THE WAGERS PLACED HEREUNDER AND THE OPEN SHARES MADE AVAILABLE BY THE CAPTAIN ARE NOT SALES OR OFFERS TO SELL SECURITIES, BUT ARE MERELY WAGERS PLACED BY THE CAPTAIN AND PARTICIPANTS ON THE OUTCOME OF A HORSE RACE, WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE OF A RETURN.

CAPTAINS

A Captain will establish the Wager and share the Wagers with others in the TwinSpires’ community who may want to participate. The Captain sets the overall size of the Wager, the number of shares created under the Wager (Split Shares), and the number of shares the Captain wants to hold for their own account (Reserve Shares).

Once a Captain places the Wager and shares the Wager with the community, only the Captain may cancel the Wager.

PARTICIPANTS

A Participant will have received a notice from a Captain that the Captain has placed a Wager and wishes to accept Participants into the Wager. The Participant will review the Wager and receive the number of Split Shares created by the Captain, and the number of shares currently available to purchase (Open Shares).

A Participant will purchase the number of desired Open Shares and will then become a Participant in the Wager. The Participant’s purchase is deemed a Wager by the Participant, however only a Captain may cancel the Wager. The Participant’s purchase amount will be visible to the Participant under the “My Bet Contribution” of the Bet Share site.

WINNINGS

A winning Wager will be paid out to the Captain and each Participant in relation to their individual contributions.

TAX REPORTING AND WITHHOLDING

In keeping with all Federal Tax Laws set forth by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), any Wager placed by a Captain that, in the aggregate (i.e. including all Shares held by the Captain and all Participants), results in winnings over $5,000.00 or 2,500 times the aggregate amount of such Wager, is subject to reporting and withholding twenty-four percent (24%) (or such then current applicable rate required by law) for each individual participating in the Wager. Any wager placed by a Captain that, in the aggregate (i.e. including all Shares held by the Captain and all Participants), results in winnings over $600 or 300 times the aggregate amount of such Wager, is subject to reporting for each individual participating in the wager. In either case, an individualized Form W2-G will be sent to the Captain and each Participant summarizing the individual activity of the recipient.
