CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE OF BETS

Our acceptance of bets from you is subject to the following rules.

General Rules

• The onus is on the customer to ensure the correct amount of money is given for each bet, and received back for each successful claim. The odds format that will take precedence in settling bets is fractions.

 

• Unclear instructions, the onus is on the customer to clearly communicate their intended bet. Where a customer’s bet instructions are ambiguous, we reserve the right to settle the bet as we interpret it. If a price is taken then this will determine the customers intended selection. We also reserve the right to split the stakes equally between the various possibilities in the case of an unclear instruction. Bets cannot be changed or cancelled if a price has been taken on a selection.

 

• Untimed or wrongly timed bets for Horse/ Greyhound racing or double engagements selections will automatically be settled on the next race immediately after the time of acceptance.

 

• Each individual customer must ensure that their own local, national or state laws allow them to place bets with us.

 

• If we accept a bet after our official betting time has closed, where the event upon which the bet was place has been determined/finished or at a stage where a customer knew or could have had any indication of the outcome then we may void the bet and return the stake to you.

 

• We reserve the right to accept or decline the whole or part of any bet that a customer offers to make at our sole discretion, without giving any reason.

 

• Fitzwilliam Sports offer our own prices on all racing and sports bets however customers are encouraged to message us with price enquiries/screenshots. We will message you back with the current prices. If a price has changed, or our price on a selection is different from the price that the customer has sent through in their screenshot, we will inform the customer that it is ‘No Bet’ or similar and inform the customer of the current market price if available.

If the customer wishes to place the bet at the new price, then they must message the bet request again making clear the bet instruction at the new price.

 

• Price changes, all prices are subject to change and may, on occasion, be restricted to certain stake levels. We reserve the right to correct any palpable error.

 

• All prices displayed on this website are indicative only and they need to be approved by our trading team to confirm the correct price at the time.

 

• If we accept a bet after our official betting time has closed, where the event upon which the bet was place has been determined/finished or at a stage where a customer knew or could have had any indication of the outcome then we may void the bet and return the stake to you.

• We will make every effort to ensure total accuracy in the issuing and publishing of our Prices & Information. However, we will not be held accountable or accept responsibility for any obvious errors or omissions in any of the markets offered and we reserve the right to correct these errors as follows:

 

1. Where a bet is accepted in error at an incorrect price, then bets will stand at the correct price; we will endeavour to contact the customer before the event commences to offer the choice of cancelling the bet by mutual consent, but should no contact be made then all bets will stand at the correct price.
2. Where a bet is accepted in error containing the incorrect Handicap, Spread or Totals number then all bets will be void, regardless of the result.

This rule applies to both pre-event and in-running markets.

• If under any of these Rules we declare a bet void we will return the stake to you and that is the only obligation that we have to you in relation to the bet.

 

• We record telephone calls with our customers to maintain a copy of the transaction which occurs and also to monitor the quality of our employee’s delivery of service. All recordings are stored within a safe facility and are not disclosed to any third party except An Garda Siochana for the purpose of preventing, detecting or investigating criminal offences.

• Dead-Heat Settlement

 

Should only one Combined Odds selection be dead-heated, then standard dead heat rules apply. For example: If one of the Combined Odds selections dead heats with one other selection, then half the stake will be settled at the full odds. If one of the Combined Odds selections dead heats with two other selections, then one third of the stake will be settled at the full odds.

If multiple Combined Odds selections are dead heated, then bets are settled based on the following Calculation: Full Odds X Stake X (Number of winning Combined Odds selections divided by the number of selections that dead heated). For example: If two combined odds selections were dead heated in a 3-way tie, then 2/3 = 67%. Therefore 67% of the customers stake would be settled at the full odd. If three combined odds selections were dead heated in a 5-way tie, then 3/5 = 60%. Therefore 60% of the customers stake would be settled at the full odds

• In-play bets

 

If a match/tournament is curtailed through external factors and there is no further play any bets placed on any-in play market once play has been curtailed will be void. Any bets placed prior to this will be settled in accordance to our normal rules.

 

• Void bets

 

If a selection in a single bet is made void the stake will be returned. Void selections in multiple/accumulator bets will be treated as non-runners and the stake will run onto the remaining selections in the bet.

 

• Promotions and special offers

Bets placed on a void race, which is re-scheduled to be run later on the same day, will be settled as follows, Single bets (including single forecasts and tricasts). All bets stand, unless a refund is requested prior to the off of the re-scheduled race. Board Prices and Early Prices – Bets taken at prices on a Void Race will revert to S.P. for the re-scheduled race. Multiple Bets all selections in Void Races within multiple bets will stand for the re-scheduled race. In the event that the race is not re-scheduled, all selections in that race will be treated as non-runners within multiple bets.

 

• Non runners

 

If a greyhound is withdrawn from a race, bets placed prior to the withdrawal at Early/Show prices will be settled at S.P.

 

• Trap Challenge Bets

 

A trap challenge bet is a bet placed on the most successful trap across a number of races.

Where a trap challenge market offered by us is described by reference to specified timeframes, the postponement of any races (such that they do not occur within those timeframes) will be disregarded. For example, if a meeting is scheduled to run from 17:38 to 20:26 but the 20:26 race ends up taking place at 20:49 due to unforeseen circumstances, the postponed race will still form part of any trap challenge bets which are placed in respect of such meeting. Trap challenge bets are defined by reference to their scheduled off-times.  Any race which occurs outside of those scheduled off-times will not be included within the relevant bet (save where the race in question occurs outside of the scheduled off-time due to postponement). Trap challenge results stand irrespective of vacant traps, reserves running or void races.  No Rule 4 deductions will be applied to trap challenge markets. All trap challenge bets will stand if more than half of the specified races in the named trap challenge market take place.  If half of the races or fewer take place, bets on the relevant trap challenge market will be voided. Trap Challenge markets are win only and are only available up until the first scheduled race. If two or more trap numbers record the same number of wins then our normal dead-heat rules will apply to applicable trap challenge markets. Should any individual race result in a dead heat for 1st place then all greyhounds concerned will be regarded as having won that race for trap challenge settlement purposes.

 

• Odds v Evens

Betting is offered for either an Odd numbered Trap (1, 3, 5) or an Even numbered Trap (2, 4, 6) to win a nominated race. In the event of a withdrawn trap all bets will be void on this market, unless the NR had been declared prior to the opening show. Dead Heat rules apply.

Forecast dividends are declared to a €1 stake and will be settled according to the BAGS industry forecast dividend. Where a forecast bet has been placed by a customer and one of the customer’s selections becomes a vacant trap, the customer’s bet will automatically be converted into a win single on the remaining selection (the odds for such win single to be the remaining greyhound’s starting price). In the event that any number of greyhounds are involved in a dead-heat for either 1st or 2nd place then an industry dividend will be issued for both winning forecasts.

• Tricasts

Tricast dividends are declared to a €1 stake and will be settled according to the BAGS industry tricast dividend. If a tricast is accepted on a race where no tricast dividend is declared then any tricast bets will be settled as a forecast bets on the first two greyhounds appearing on the customer’s bet slip. Where a tricast bet has been placed by a customer and one of the customer’s selections becomes a vacant trap, the customer’s bet will automatically be converted into a forecast bet on the remaining selections.  If two of the customer’s selections become vacant traps, the customer’s bet will automatically be converted into a win single on the remaining selection (the odds for such win single to be the remaining greyhound’s starting price). In the event that any number of greyhounds are involved in a dead heat for either 1st, 2nd or 3rd place then an industry dividend will be issued for each winning forecast. Tricasts are accepted as singles only.

 

Football betting rules

• General Rules

All winning bets will be settled at the prices shown at the time the bet was accepted. For the purposes of these rules, Half Time is defined as the scheduled first 45 minutes of the 1st Half plus any added injury time of stoppage time. Normal Time and 90 Minutes’ Play is defined as the scheduled 90 minutes of play plus any added injury time or stoppage time given at the end of each period. The only exceptions to the above are for matches that are scheduled for a lesser duration (e.g., 60, 70 or 80 mins) as agreed by the laws of the competition in which they are competing, or agreed by both sides prior to kick off. In such cases, all bets will be settled at the end of the agreed game length which includes time added on by the referee for stoppages whether the game length is advertised by Fitzwilliam Sports or not.

All bets on football matches are based on the score at the end of a scheduled 90 Minutes’ Play, unless otherwise stated or unless the bet has already been settled. The only exception to this rule is in relation to friendly matches, where all match markets will be settled based on the result when the referee calls an end to the game (excluding abandonments), irrespective of whether the full 90 minutes has been played. Prices relating to score of the match after Extra Time may be offered at the end of a scheduled 90 Minutes in play.

All bets specific to Extra Time will be made void if a match is abandoned before its scheduled end unless otherwise stated or the bet has already been settled. Match details such as dates and kick-off times that are displayed are for guidance only. In the event of a match being played on a neutral ground the team displayed to the left will be considered as the home team and the team shown on the right will be considered as the away team.

 

• Abandoned and Void

 

If a match is abandoned before 90 minutes playing time has elapsed that match will be void (unless it is restaged during that week, up to and including Sunday, when the 90-minute score will govern settlement) and wagers will stand on the remaining selections in the bet. Individual markets within that match will also be void unless they have been resolved at the time of abandonment, i.e. First player to score if a goal has been scored. Bets originally containing the correct number of selections but including void or postponed matches will stand on the remaining selections in the bet. Should a team play a different opposition to that on the coupon, or should a venue be reversed, forecasts for that match will be declared void. Should a match be changed from a home venue to a neutral one forecasts for that match will stand. Total Goals in the Matches, 90Mins Only, Postponed/Abandoned/Rearranged Matches where the listed number of matches differ will result in affected markets being Void.

Scorecasts are available on all matches where correct score and first player to score odds are available. The Scorecast 0-0 and no goalscorer is settled as a correct score single. If your selected player joins the match after the first goal has been scored or does not take part in the game, Scorecast bets will revert to a single on the correct score. For first goalscorer purposes, own goals do not count, so in this circumstance, the Scorecast will be settled on the next goalscorer and correct score of the game.

If a match is abandoned before the first goal is scored, all bets placed on the first goal being scored in that time band up to but not including the time of abandonment are lost. For example, if the match is abandoned after 25 minutes, bets placed on time bands 1-10 and 11-20 are losers. If a match is abandoned after the first goal has been scored all bets stand.

• Football Definitions

Goal/Own Goal, Different governing bodies have different rules, and where possible data provider works with the relevant people to reflect their official decisions on goal scorers.

Regarding deflections, normally a goal is awarded if the original attempt is on target. An own goal is usually awarded if the attempt is off target and deflected into the goal by an opponent.

Shot on target, A shot on target is defined as any goal attempt that:

Goes into the net regardless of intent.

Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but for being saved by the goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is the last-man with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the goal (last line block).

 

Shots directly hitting the frame of the goal are not counted as shots on target, unless the ball goes in and is awarded as a goal.

Shots blocked by another player, who is not the last-man, are not counted as shots on target.

Shot off target

A shot off target is defined as any clear attempt to score that:

Goes over or wide of the goal without making contact with another player.

Would have gone over or wide of the goal but for being stopped by a goalkeeper’s save or by an outfield player.

Directly hits the frame of the goal and a goal is not scored.

Blocked shots are not counted as shots off target.

Blocked Shot

A blocked shot is defined as any clear attempt to score that:

Is going on target and is blocked by an outfield player, where there are other defenders or a goalkeeper behind the blocker.

Includes shots blocked unintentionally by the shooter’s own team mate.

Clearances off the line by an opposition player (last line blocks) are counted as shots on target and do not get counted as a blocked shot.

Goal Assist

The final touch (pass, pass-cum-shot or any other touch) leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal. If the final touch (as defined in bold) is deflected by an opposition player, the initiator is only given a goal assist if the receiving player was likely to receive the ball without the deflection having taken place. Own goals, directly taken free kicks, direct corner goals and penalties do not get an assist awarded.

Direct Free Kick for Goals/Shots

Direct free kick shots are any attempts created directly from the free kick itself (unassisted).

Body Part for Goals/Shots

The following four body parts are collected: Right foot, left foot, head and other. Foot includes any connection with the leg.

Location for Goals/Shots

The position of the ball, when the shot is taken (shot origin).

Any event happening on a line, will be considered inside that area. For example, a shot on the 18-yard line will count as being inside the box.

Pass

Any intentional played ball from one player to another. Passes include open play passes, goal kicks, corners and free kicks played as pass – but exclude crosses, keeper throws and throw-ins.

Tackle

A tackle is defined as where a player connects with the ball in a ground challenge where he successfully takes the ball away from the player in possession. The tackled player must clearly be in possession of the ball before the tackle is made. It is not a tackle, when a player cuts out a pass by any means.

 

• Video Assistant Referee (VAR)

We reserve the right to void any bet, where a bet is settled, or the price taken is affected by a VAR decision. This rule will begin at the time of the incident that is being reviewed and not the subsequent time of the decision made. Bets will stand if the review does not alter the decision made by the on-field officials, or the decision changes the on-field decision but bets are not affected.

 

Golf betting rules

• Abandoned / postponed/ shortened event

 

Should a tournament be shortened, or otherwise affected due to weather conditions the trophy presentation will govern settlement, including tournament groups, matches, place only, top 10 and all other 72-hole markets provided at least 36 holes of the event have been completed.

 

Should 36 holes not be completed then all bets on that event will be void except markets that have already been decided i.e., ‘first round 3-balls’.

Should there be no further play after a bet is struck that bet will be void.

In the event of a postponed event all bets stand except if tournament is not played within 7 days, then bets will be void.

• Outright betting

When more than one player shares the same lowest score in a tournament and there is no play-off, win and place bets are settled by the normal dead heat method outlined in the ‘settlement of bets’ section.

In the event of a play-off the result of the play-off will determine the winner of the tournament. Even if three or more contestants take part such a play-off has the sole purpose of deciding the winner of the tournament and the relative finishing positions of unsuccessful contestants is not affected.

Each ways places for competition will be confirmed on week of competition for each way bets dead heat rules apply. For example, if each-way terms quoted for a tournament are for the first 4 places, the 3 players tying for third place will be deemed to have dead-heated for third, fourth and fifth place with 1/3 stake lost and 2/3 stake settled at full place odds for each way bets on those players.

In a DEAD HEAT the stake money on a selection is divided by the number of runners involved in the dead heat. The full odds are then paid to the divided stake with the remainder of the stake money being lost.

If a revised tournament outright betting includes players who have completed their round and the tournament winner is presented with the trophy after the rest of the field have completed that round, bets placed on those players will be deemed void, provided another round is not fully completed.

Outright Bets placed are ‘non-player no bet’ and we reserve the right to deduct the equivalent Tattersalls Rule 4(c) to reflect returning stakes on non-players.

Any players who withdraw after they have completed 3 holes or more are considered as players and are therefore losers, except in the following circumstances: For outright betting, bets placed on players after they have teed-off are void provided that the player takes no further part in the event after the bet is placed, e.g. bets placed after the second round and the player withdraws before the third round – such bets on the withdrawn player are void and we reserve the right to deduct the equivalent Tattersall’s Rule 4(c).

If a player withdraws or is disqualified before the cut is made the other player is deemed the winner. In the event of a tie in tournament groups, dead heat rules apply. In the event of a tie in tournament match betting, stakes are refunded. In the event of a listed player being withdrawn prior to the first round, then the market will be void.

Odds for a tie are offered in 2 ball betting, therefore in the event of a tie bets on both players are losers and bets on the tie are winners. Dead heat rules apply in the event of a tie in 3 ball betting.

Results are not official for betting purposes until verified by officials at the fighting venue. If for some reason official verification does not occur at the fighting venue, then (and only then) will reference will be made to www.boxrec.com for settlement purposes. Should an official or unofficial sanctioning body overturn a fight decision based on an appeal, suspension, lawsuit, drug testing result or any other fighter sanction, this will not be recognised for betting purposes.

Should a contest be postponed, bets will stand if the rescheduled event occurs within 48 hours. Otherwise, all bets in relation to the contest will be void.

In the event of a ‘no contest’ being declared, all bets will be made void, with the exception of selections where the outcome has already been unequivocally determined.

Should there be a substitution for one of the boxers, bets on the original contest will be void, except in a tournament-based competition where the equivalent of a Tattersalls Rule 4 deduction may apply (see Prize Fighter below)

Should there be a change in the manner in which a contest is advertised (e.g., a contest changes from a title fight to a non-title fight) bets will stand.

Match Betting markets where no draw selection is offered will be made void if the match ends in a draw.

In fights where the scheduled number of rounds changes, all bets will stand unless the result would be automatically determined by the change in the number of rounds (in which case, such bets will be voided).

• Round Betting/Group Round Betting/Alternative Group Round Betting

 

This market is betting on the round/rounds in which the result of the fight will be determined, it is not betting on named fighters to win the round/rounds on the judge’s scorecards. Where a boxer fails to answer the bell for the next round, his opponent shall be deemed to have won the contest in the previous round. Subject to the following rule, should, for any reason, the scheduled number of rounds be changed before the commencement of the contest, all round-by-round bets will stand. Notwithstanding the above rule, should, for any reason, the scheduled number of rounds be decreased before the commencement of the contest, all round-by-round bets on the dropped rounds will be void. Bets on all the remaining rounds will stand. Where a contest finishes before the completion of the scheduled number of rounds and, for any reason, the winner is decided by the judges’ scorecards (technical decision/technical draw) then all round bets will be deemed losers. If the contest goes to the scorecards, then all round bets will be deemed losers. Where a contest finishes before the scheduled number of rounds due to an accidental injury and the winner is not determined by the judges’ scorecards, all bets will be void. For Total Rounds settlement purposes, 1 minute and 30 seconds will represent half a round. For example, for a bet on “Over 10.5 rounds” to be a winner, the fight must last beyond 1 minute and 30 seconds in round 11. If the number of rounds for a fight is changed after this market has been set then all bets on this market will be void. For Will the Fight Go the Distance (or similarly titled) markets, should the scheduled number of rounds change, this market will be made void. In the event of a technical decision, for settlement purposes, the fight will have been deemed NOT to have gone the distance (i.e., the scheduled number of rounds).

 

• Round Specials

 

Any bets placed on occurrences to occur (or not to occur) in a given round will be deemed losing bets if the fight concludes (for any reason) before that round.  For example, any bets on a fighter to have a point deducted in round 9 will be deemed losing bets if a knock-out brings the relevant fight to a conclusion in round 7.

 

• Method of victory

 

A knockout (KO) occurs when the boxer does not stand up after a ten count. Technical knockouts (TKO) occur when a boxer is knocked down three times within the same round and the fight is stopped or where the referee steps in to stop the fight when it is decided that a fighter cannot safely continue. If a fighter fails to answer a bell for the next round, then this will also be deemed a TKO. For betting purposes, KO/TKO options also include disqualification and retirement.

 

• Technical Decision/Draw

 

If a fight is scheduled for more than four rounds and, after four rounds, an accidental foul occurs which causes an injury (further to which the referee stops the fight), the fight will be deemed to have resulted in a technical decision in favour of the boxer who is ahead on the scorecards at the time the fight is stopped (and all markets on the fight will stand). If the accidental injury / technical decision occurs during the first 4 rounds, all bets will be made void UNLESS the result of the relevant market has already been unequivocally determined or if the judges’ scorecards are used to determine an official winner at ringside. If an intentional foul causes an injury and the injury results in the fight being stopped in a later round: (i) the injured boxer will be deemed to have won by technical decision if he is ahead on the scorecards and (ii) the fight will result in a ‘technical draw’ if the injured boxer is behind or even on the score cards (and, for settlement purposes, the result of the fight will be deemed to be a draw). For betting purposes betting on rounds or group of rounds is for a fighter to win by KO, TKO or disqualification during that round or group of rounds. In the event of a technical decision before the end of the fight all bets will be settled as a win by decision. Round bets will be deemed losers.

• Prize Fighter

Match bets will be settled on the result announced in the ring. If any result is announced incorrectly at ringside but is subsequently corrected then bets will be settled based on the corrected winner. Outright bets will be settled based on the winning boxer who lifts the trophy. If a substitute is introduced during the tournament, all outright bets will stand and an outright price will be quoted for the new boxer. All outright bets on boxers who withdraw during the tournament due to injury or cuts (having fought on the card) will be deemed to be losing bets. Outright bets will be void on any named boxer who does not start the tournament. This rule does not apply to the reserve fighters. “Either reserve” (or similar) may be listed as a selection for any Prize-fighter tournaments. These selections are priced on a compete or not basis and, accordingly, all bets on these selections will stand whether or not a reserve fighter competes. The equivalent of a Tattersall’s rule 4 deduction may be applied to any outright bet where a named fighter is withdrawn before the start of the tournament (and an additional contender added).

• Unclear instructions, the onus is on the customer to clearly communicate their intended bet. Where a customer’s bet instructions are ambiguous, we reserve the right to settle the bet as we interpret it. If a price is taken then this will determine the customers intended selection.

Bets cannot be changed or cancelled if a price has been taken on a selection.

• Dead-Heat Settlement

 

Should only one Combined Odds selection be dead-heated, then standard dead heat rules apply. For example: If one of the Combined Odds selections dead heats with one other selection, then half the stake will be settled at the full odds. If one of the Combined Odds selections dead heats with two other selections, then one third of the stake will be settled at the full odds.

If multiple Combined Odds selections are dead heated, then bets are settled based on the following Calculation: Full Odds X Stake X (Number of winning Combined Odds selections divided by the number of selections that dead heated). For example: If two combined odds selections were dead heated in a 3-way tie, then 2/3 = 67%. Therefore 67% of the customers stake would be settled at the full odd. If three combined odds selections were dead heated in a 5-way tie, then 3/5 = 60%. Therefore 60% of the customers stake would be settled at the full odds

• In-play bets

 

If a match/tournament is curtailed through external factors and there is no further play any bets placed on any-in play market once play has been curtailed will be void. Any bets placed prior to this will be settled in accordance to our normal rules.

 

• Void bets

 

If a selection in a single bet is made void the stake will be returned. Void selections in multiple/accumulator bets will be treated as non-runners and the stake will run onto the remaining selections in the bet.

 

• Promotions and special offers

All Ante-Post prices are subject to fluctuation and Ante-Post bets will be settled at the price ruling at the time of acceptance and must be recorded on the betting slip by our staff. Our right is reserved to correct any palpable or obvious errors. If a bet is placed on an Ante Post selection before the entries have closed, the bet will stand.

• Trap Challenge Bets

 

A trap challenge bet is a bet placed on the most successful trap across a number of races.

Where a trap challenge market offered by us is described by reference to specified timeframes, the postponement of any races (such that they do not occur within those timeframes) will be disregarded. For example, if a meeting is scheduled to run from 17:38 to 20:26 but the 20:26 race ends up taking place at 20:49 due to unforeseen circumstances, the postponed race will still form part of any trap challenge bets which are placed in respect of such meeting. Trap challenge bets are defined by reference to their scheduled off-times.  Any race which occurs outside of those scheduled off-times will not be included within the relevant bet (save where the race in question occurs outside of the scheduled off-time due to postponement). Trap challenge results stand irrespective of vacant traps, reserves running or void races.  No Rule 4 deductions will be applied to trap challenge markets. All trap challenge bets will stand if more than half of the specified races in the named trap challenge market take place.  If half of the races or fewer take place, bets on the relevant trap challenge market will be voided. Trap Challenge markets are win only and are only available up until the first scheduled race. If two or more trap numbers record the same number of wins then our normal dead-heat rules will apply to applicable trap challenge markets. Should any individual race result in a dead heat for 1st place then all greyhounds concerned will be regarded as having won that race for trap challenge settlement purposes.

In the event that any number of greyhounds are involved in a dead-heat for either 1st or 2nd place then an industry dividend will be issued for both winning forecasts.

Tricasts are accepted as singles only.

 

Football betting rules

• General Rules

All winning bets will be settled at the prices shown at the time the bet was accepted. For the purposes of these rules, Half Time is defined as the scheduled first 45 minutes of the 1st Half plus any added injury time of stoppage time. Normal Time and 90 Minutes’ Play is defined as the scheduled 90 minutes of play plus any added injury time or stoppage time given at the end of each period. The only exceptions to the above are for matches that are scheduled for a lesser duration (e.g., 60, 70 or 80 mins) as agreed by the laws of the competition in which they are competing, or agreed by both sides prior to kick off. In such cases, all bets will be settled at the end of the agreed game length which includes time added on by the referee for stoppages whether the game length is advertised by Fitzwilliam Sports or not.

All bets on football matches are based on the score at the end of a scheduled 90 Minutes’ Play, unless otherwise stated or unless the bet has already been settled. The only exception to this rule is in relation to friendly matches, where all match markets will be settled based on the result when the referee calls an end to the game (excluding abandonments), irrespective of whether the full 90 minutes has been played. Prices relating to score of the match after Extra Time may be offered at the end of a scheduled 90 Minutes in play.

All bets specific to Extra Time will be made void if a match is abandoned before its scheduled end unless otherwise stated or the bet has already been settled. Match details such as dates and kick-off times that are displayed are for guidance only. In the event of a match being played on a neutral ground the team displayed to the left will be considered as the home team and the team shown on the right will be considered as the away team.

 

• Abandoned and Void

 

If a match is abandoned before 90 minutes playing time has elapsed that match will be void (unless it is restaged during that week, up to and including Sunday, when the 90-minute score will govern settlement) and wagers will stand on the remaining selections in the bet. Individual markets within that match will also be void unless they have been resolved at the time of abandonment, i.e. First player to score if a goal has been scored. Bets originally containing the correct number of selections but including void or postponed matches will stand on the remaining selections in the bet. Should a team play a different opposition to that on the coupon, or should a venue be reversed, forecasts for that match will be declared void. Should a match be changed from a home venue to a neutral one forecasts for that match will stand. Total Goals in the Matches, 90Mins Only, Postponed/Abandoned/Rearranged Matches where the listed number of matches differ will result in affected markets being Void.

If your selected player joins the match after the first goal has been scored or does not take part in the game, Scorecast bets will revert to a single on the correct score. For first goalscorer purposes, own goals do not count, so in this circumstance, the Scorecast will be settled on the next goalscorer and correct score of the game.

If a match is abandoned before the first goal is scored, all bets placed on the first goal being scored in that time band up to but not including the time of abandonment are lost. For example, if the match is abandoned after 25 minutes, bets placed on time bands 1-10 and 11-20 are losers. If a match is abandoned after the first goal has been scored all bets stand.

• Football Definitions

Goal/Own Goal, Different governing bodies have different rules, and where possible data provider works with the relevant people to reflect their official decisions on goal scorers.

Regarding deflections, normally a goal is awarded if the original attempt is on target. An own goal is usually awarded if the attempt is off target and deflected into the goal by an opponent.

Shot on target, A shot on target is defined as any goal attempt that:

Goes into the net regardless of intent.

Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but for being saved by the goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is the last-man with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the goal (last line block).

 

Shots directly hitting the frame of the goal are not counted as shots on target, unless the ball goes in and is awarded as a goal.

Shots blocked by another player, who is not the last-man, are not counted as shots on target.

Shot off target

A shot off target is defined as any clear attempt to score that:

Goes over or wide of the goal without making contact with another player.

Would have gone over or wide of the goal but for being stopped by a goalkeeper’s save or by an outfield player.

Directly hits the frame of the goal and a goal is not scored.

Blocked shots are not counted as shots off target.

Blocked Shot

A blocked shot is defined as any clear attempt to score that:

Is going on target and is blocked by an outfield player, where there are other defenders or a goalkeeper behind the blocker.

Includes shots blocked unintentionally by the shooter’s own team mate.

Clearances off the line by an opposition player (last line blocks) are counted as shots on target and do not get counted as a blocked shot.

Goal Assist

The final touch (pass, pass-cum-shot or any other touch) leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal. If the final touch (as defined in bold) is deflected by an opposition player, the initiator is only given a goal assist if the receiving player was likely to receive the ball without the deflection having taken place. Own goals, directly taken free kicks, direct corner goals and penalties do not get an assist awarded.

Direct Free Kick for Goals/Shots

Direct free kick shots are any attempts created directly from the free kick itself (unassisted).

Body Part for Goals/Shots

The following four body parts are collected: Right foot, left foot, head and other. Foot includes any connection with the leg.

Location for Goals/Shots

The position of the ball, when the shot is taken (shot origin).

Any event happening on a line, will be considered inside that area. For example, a shot on the 18-yard line will count as being inside the box.

Pass

Any intentional played ball from one player to another. Passes include open play passes, goal kicks, corners and free kicks played as pass – but exclude crosses, keeper throws and throw-ins.

Tackle

A tackle is defined as where a player connects with the ball in a ground challenge where he successfully takes the ball away from the player in possession. The tackled player must clearly be in possession of the ball before the tackle is made. It is not a tackle, when a player cuts out a pass by any means.

 

• Video Assistant Referee (VAR)

We reserve the right to void any bet, where a bet is settled, or the price taken is affected by a VAR decision. This rule will begin at the time of the incident that is being reviewed and not the subsequent time of the decision made. Bets will stand if the review does not alter the decision made by the on-field officials, or the decision changes the on-field decision but bets are not affected.

 

Golf betting rules

• Abandoned / postponed/ shortened event

 

Should a tournament be shortened, or otherwise affected due to weather conditions the trophy presentation will govern settlement, including tournament groups, matches, place only, top 10 and all other 72-hole markets provided at least 36 holes of the event have been completed.

 

Should 36 holes not be completed then all bets on that event will be void except markets that have already been decided i.e., ‘first round 3-balls’.

Should there be no further play after a bet is struck that bet will be void.

In the event of a postponed event all bets stand except if tournament is not played within 7 days, then bets will be void.

• Outright betting

When more than one player shares the same lowest score in a tournament and there is no play-off, win and place bets are settled by the normal dead heat method outlined in the ‘settlement of bets’ section.

In the event of a play-off the result of the play-off will determine the winner of the tournament. Even if three or more contestants take part such a play-off has the sole purpose of deciding the winner of the tournament and the relative finishing positions of unsuccessful contestants is not affected.

Each ways places for competition will be confirmed on week of competition for each way bets dead heat rules apply. For example, if each-way terms quoted for a tournament are for the first 4 places, the 3 players tying for third place will be deemed to have dead-heated for third, fourth and fifth place with 1/3 stake lost and 2/3 stake settled at full place odds for each way bets on those players.

In a DEAD HEAT the stake money on a selection is divided by the number of runners involved in the dead heat. The full odds are then paid to the divided stake with the remainder of the stake money being lost.

If a revised tournament outright betting includes players who have completed their round and the tournament winner is presented with the trophy after the rest of the field have completed that round, bets placed on those players will be deemed void, provided another round is not fully completed.

Outright Bets placed are ‘non-player no bet’ and we reserve the right to deduct the equivalent Tattersalls Rule 4(c) to reflect returning stakes on non-players.

Any players who withdraw after they have completed 3 holes or more are considered as players and are therefore losers, except in the following circumstances: For outright betting, bets placed on players after they have teed-off are void provided that the player takes no further part in the event after the bet is placed, e.g. bets placed after the second round and the player withdraws before the third round – such bets on the withdrawn player are void and we reserve the right to deduct the equivalent Tattersall’s Rule 4(c).

• Tournament group betting tournament match betting

 

In Tournament group betting the winner will be the player with the highest placing at the end of the tournament. Players missing the cut will be eliminated. If all listed players miss the cut the player with the lowest score at the cut will be deemed the winner.

Players must complete 3 holes or more for bets to stand. In Tournament match betting the winner will be the player with the highest placing at the end of the tournament. If both players miss the cut, then the one with the lowest score will be deemed the winner. If a player withdraws or is disqualified after making the cut, when his opponent has already missed the cut, the disqualified player is deemed the winner. If a player withdraws or is disqualified before the cut is made the other player is deemed the winner. In the event of a tie in tournament groups, dead heat rules apply. In the event of a tie in tournament match betting, stakes are refunded. In the event of a listed player being withdrawn prior to the first round, then the market will be void. In the event of a listed player being withdrawn/disqualified prior to both players teeing off in the event then that match is void.

 

• Top Player betting (e.g., Top US Player, Top European Player)

 

 

In Top Player betting, the winner will be the player with the highest placing at the end of the tournament, each way bets will be settled in the same way as outright each way bets. Only the players quoted count for settlement purposes. In the event of a tie, dead heat rules apply.

 

• 2 ball/3 ball betting

 

Players must complete 3 holes or more for bets to stand. In 2/3 ball betting the winner will be the player in the pairing or group with the lowest score over 18 holes. Should a player in the 2/3 ball not tee-off all bets in that 2/3 ball are void. However, should a player retire during the round, he will be deemed to have played. In the event of a 2/3 ball being rearranged all bets in that 2/3 ball will stand as per original pairings/groups. If a player posts a score but is later disqualified, all bets will be settled on the score that the player initially signs for that round. Signing of the card is deemed as the weigh-in and subsequent disqualification or amendment of result will be ignored for settlement purposes. Odds for a tie are offered in 2 ball betting, therefore in the event of a tie bets on both players are losers and bets on the tie are winners. Dead heat rules apply in the event of a tie in 3 ball betting.

Any tournament that applies the stableford scoring system, the highest point scorer during the round will be deemed the winner.

 

• To make/miss the cut

 

Players must complete 3 holes or more for bets to stand. Bets on players to make/miss the cut will be settled on the official result posted on the tour sites. Players who are disqualified or withdraw before they complete 36 holes (or 54 holes in the case of a 3 Round cut) are deemed to have missed the cut. PGA Tour: any player who makes the cut or the modified cut (MDF) will be settled as having made the cut (according to the pgatour.com leaderboard). Should 36 holes (or 54 holes in the case of a 3 Round cut) not be completed then all bets on this market will be void. Players who are disqualified or withdraw subsequent to posting a score equal to or better than the official cut mark (after they have completed 36 holes) will be deemed to have made the cut.

 

• Finishing positions

 

Players must complete 3 holes or more for bets to stand. Finishing position is decided by result posted by the governing body of that tournament (i.e., PGA Tour, European Tour). Example of finishing position: if a player finishes in a tie for a position e.g., tied 10th he is deemed to have finished 10th. If a player is disqualified, retires injured or withdraws they will be deemed to have finished last. Should 36 holes (or 54 holes in the case of a 3 Round cut) not be completed then all bets on this market will be void.

In the event of a ‘no contest’ being declared, all bets will be made void, with the exception of selections where the outcome has already been unequivocally determined.

Should there be a substitution for one of the boxers, bets on the original contest will be void, except in a tournament-based competition where the equivalent of a Tattersalls Rule 4 deduction may apply (see Prize Fighter below)

Should there be a change in the manner in which a contest is advertised (e.g., a contest changes from a title fight to a non-title fight) bets will stand.

Match Betting markets where no draw selection is offered will be made void if the match ends in a draw.

In fights where the scheduled number of rounds changes, all bets will stand unless the result would be automatically determined by the change in the number of rounds (in which case, such bets will be voided). For example, if a fight gets changed from a 12 to a 10-round fight, bets on rounds 11 and 12 will be void.

• Round Betting/Group Round Betting/Alternative Group Round Betting

 

This market is betting on the round/rounds in which the result of the fight will be determined, it is not betting on named fighters to win the round/rounds on the judge’s scorecards. Where a boxer fails to answer the bell for the next round, his opponent shall be deemed to have won the contest in the previous round. Subject to the following rule, should, for any reason, the scheduled number of rounds be changed before the commencement of the contest, all round-by-round bets will stand. Notwithstanding the above rule, should, for any reason, the scheduled number of rounds be decreased before the commencement of the contest, all round-by-round bets on the dropped rounds will be void. Bets on all the remaining rounds will stand. Where a contest finishes before the completion of the scheduled number of rounds and, for any reason, the winner is decided by the judges’ scorecards (technical decision/technical draw) then all round bets will be deemed losers. If the contest goes to the scorecards, then all round bets will be deemed losers. Where a contest finishes before the scheduled number of rounds due to an accidental injury and the winner is not determined by the judges’ scorecards, all bets will be void. For Total Rounds settlement purposes, 1 minute and 30 seconds will represent half a round. For example, for a bet on “Over 10.5 rounds” to be a winner, the fight must last beyond 1 minute and 30 seconds in round 11. If the number of rounds for a fight is changed after this market has been set then all bets on this market will be void. For Will the Fight Go the Distance (or similarly titled) markets, should the scheduled number of rounds change, this market will be made void. In the event of a technical decision, for settlement purposes, the fight will have been deemed NOT to have gone the distance (i.e., the scheduled number of rounds).

 

• Round Specials

 

Any bets placed on occurrences to occur (or not to occur) in a given round will be deemed losing bets if the fight concludes (for any reason) before that round.  For example, any bets on a fighter to have a point deducted in round 9 will be deemed losing bets if a knock-out brings the relevant fight to a conclusion in round 7.

 

• Method of victory

 

A knockout (KO) occurs when the boxer does not stand up after a ten count. Technical knockouts (TKO) occur when a boxer is knocked down three times within the same round and the fight is stopped or where the referee steps in to stop the fight when it is decided that a fighter cannot safely continue. If a fighter fails to answer a bell for the next round, then this will also be deemed a TKO. For betting purposes, KO/TKO options also include disqualification and retirement.

 

• Technical Decision/Draw

 

If a fight is scheduled for more than four rounds and, after four rounds, an accidental foul occurs which causes an injury (further to which the referee stops the fight), the fight will be deemed to have resulted in a technical decision in favour of the boxer who is ahead on the scorecards at the time the fight is stopped (and all markets on the fight will stand). If the accidental injury / technical decision occurs during the first 4 rounds, all bets will be made void UNLESS the result of the relevant market has already been unequivocally determined or if the judges’ scorecards are used to determine an official winner at ringside. If an intentional foul causes an injury and the injury results in the fight being stopped in a later round: (i) the injured boxer will be deemed to have won by technical decision if he is ahead on the scorecards and (ii) the fight will result in a ‘technical draw’ if the injured boxer is behind or even on the score cards (and, for settlement purposes, the result of the fight will be deemed to be a draw). For betting purposes betting on rounds or group of rounds is for a fighter to win by KO, TKO or disqualification during that round or group of rounds. In the event of a technical decision before the end of the fight all bets will be settled as a win by decision. Round bets will be deemed losers.

 

• To score a knockdown

• Prize Fighter

Match bets will be settled on the result announced in the ring. If any result is announced incorrectly at ringside but is subsequently corrected then bets will be settled based on the corrected winner. Outright bets will be settled based on the winning boxer who lifts the trophy. If a substitute is introduced during the tournament, all outright bets will stand and an outright price will be quoted for the new boxer. All outright bets on boxers who withdraw during the tournament due to injury or cuts (having fought on the card) will be deemed to be losing bets. Outright bets will be void on any named boxer who does not start the tournament. This rule does not apply to the reserve fighters. “Either reserve” (or similar) may be listed as a selection for any Prize-fighter tournaments. These selections are priced on a compete or not basis and, accordingly, all bets on these selections will stand whether or not a reserve fighter competes. The equivalent of a Tattersall’s rule 4 deduction may be applied to any outright bet where a named fighter is withdrawn before the start of the tournament (and an additional contender added).

For example, for a bet on “Over 1.5 rounds” to be a winner, the fight must last beyond 2 minutes and 30 seconds in round 2.  If the number of rounds in a fight is changed after “Total Rounds” markets have been set, then all bets on these markets will be void.
