(b) as a single price pool to those whose combination finished as the first two betting interests, but if there are no such wagers; then

(c) as a profit split to those whose combination included either the first- or second-place finisher; but if there are no such wagers on one of the those two finishers; then

(d) as a single price pool to those whose combination included the one covered betting interest included within the first two finishers, but if there are no such wagers; then
