A. Conditions of Agreement
1)
These
Betting Rules govern the use of the TwinSpires Sports Book. When placing a bet
with TwinSpires, the Patron is therefore agreeing that the Patron has read,
understood and will be adhering to these Betting Rules, the House Rules, the Bill
of Rights and the Terms and Conditions at any time applicable. References to the Betting Rules, House Rules,
Bill of Rights and the Terms and Conditions is intended to incorporate by
reference all of the above documents and may be referred to collectively as
“Rules.” All documents may be found at
www.TwinSpires.com.
B. General Betting
Rules
1) Unless listed either in conjunction with
the bet offer, or else in the Sport Specific rules, all bets should be
considered valid for the result at the end of the "Regular Time" or
"Full Time" only. "Regular Time" or "Full time"
is defined as interpreted by the official rules published by the respective
governing association. For example, in football, full time is stipulated to be
90 minutes including injury time, and in ice hockey it is stipulated as the 3 x
20 minute periods. Should the governing association decide to stipulate, before
the start of the event, that the said event is to be played over a different
duration, this will be treated as being the official rules for the event (for
example, Under 17 football played with 2 x 40 minutes). Nonetheless, such
occurrence is limited to the "regular" playing time and does not
include any prolongation such as extra time or overtime, unless explicitly
stated.
2) "Livebetting" is where it is
possible to bet during an ongoing match or event. TwinSpires does not
acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever if it not possible to place a
bet or the live score update is not correct. At all times it is the Account
Holder's responsibility to be aware of the match and the events surrounding it
such as the current score, its progression and how much time remains before the
match is completed. TwinSpires does not accept any liability for changes to the
Livebetting schedule or interruption of the Livebetting service.
3) The 'Cash Out' function allows the
Account Holder the possibility to redeem a bet, which status has not been
settled yet, at its current value. It is available on selected events both in
pre-match and live, as well as on both single and multiple bets. Cash Out
functionality cannot be used on free bets. Cash Out requests might be subject
to the same delay procedure as listed in the House Rules. Should it happen that during this delay, for
whatever reason, either the offer is removed or odds fluctuate, the Cash Out
request will not be accepted and the Account Holder will be notified with an
on-screen message. TwinSpires reserves the right to offer such functionality
solely at its own discretion and does not acknowledge or accept any liability
whatsoever if the Cash Out functionality is not available. Should a Cash Out
request be successful, the bet will be settled immediately and any subsequent
events which occur in relation with the bet will not be taken into account. In
the instance of a cashed out bet having suffered from a technical, pricing or
settlement error at any time between the time of original placement and the
cash out, TwinSpires reserves the right rectify such inaccuracy in accordance
with the House Rules
4) The "Participant" is an object
constituting part of an event. In "Head-to-Head" and "Triple-Head"
the Participant only refers to objects that are subject to the
"Head-to-Head" or "Triple-Head" event in question.
5) The deadline (cut-off time) shown on the
website is to be treated for information purposes only. TwinSpires reserves the
right, at its own discretion, to suspend, partially or completely, the betting
activity at any time where it deems necessary.
6) Statistics or editorial text published
at the TwinSpires site are to be considered as added information but TwinSpires
does not acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever if the information is
not correct. At all times it is the Account Holder’s responsibility to be aware
about circumstances relating to an event.
7) Theoretical return in fixed odds betting
to the player is given by the odds from all possible outcomes in the offer. The
theoretical payback to a player on a bet offer with 3 outcomes a, b and c can
be calculated as follows.
Theoretical % = 1 / (1 / ”odds outcome a” + 1 /
“odds outcome b” + 1 / “odds outcome c”) x 100
1) "Game" (aka Moneyline) is
where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) outcome of a game or
event. The options are: "1" = Home team/Player 1, or the participant
listed to the left side of the offer; "X" = Draw/Tie, or the
selection in the middle; "2" = Away team/Player 2, or the participant
listed to the right side of the offer. In particular instances or specific
competitions, TwinSpires might display an offer in the so-called “American”
format (ie: Away Team @ Home Team), where the host team is listed following the
visiting team. Irrespective of the positioning of the teams on the
board/betslip, the references to “Home” and “Away” teams will always refer to
the actual teams playing at home (host) and away (visitor) respectively, as
determined by the official organization.
2) "Correct Score" (aka Result
Betting) is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) exact
score of a match or event.
3) "Over/Under" (aka Totals) is
where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) amount of a predefined
occurrence (e.g. goals, points, corners, rebounds, penalty minutes, etc.).
Should the total amount of the listed occurrences be exactly equal to the
betting line, then all bets on this offer will be declared void. Example: an
offer where the betting line is 128.0 points and the match ends with the result
64-64 will be declared void.
4) "Odd/Even" is where it is
possible to bet on the (partial or definite) amount of a predefined occurrence
(e.g. goals, points, corners, rebounds, penalty minutes, etc.)."Odd"
is 1,3,5 etc.; "Even" is 0,2,4 etc.
5) A "Head-to-Head" and/or
"Triple-Head" is a competition between two or three
participants/outcomes, originating from either an officially organised event,
or else, as virtually defined by TwinSpires.
6) "Half time/Full time" is where
it is possible to bet on the result in half time and the final outcome of the
match. E.g. if at Half time the score is 1-0 and the match ends 1-1, the
winning outcome is 1/X. The bet is void if the regular time of the match is
played in a different time format than those listed in the bet (i.e. other than
two halves).
7) "Period betting" is where it
is possible to bet on the outcome of each separate period within a match/event.
E.g. If the period scores in an ice hockey match are 2-0 / 0-1 / 1-1, the
winning outcome is 1/2/X. The bet is void if the regular time of the match is
played in a different time format than those listed in the bet (i.e. other than
three periods).
8) "Draw No Bet" is where it is
possible to bet on either "1" or "2" as defined in <Section B, Para 2.1>. It is also
common practice to refer to "Draw No Bet" in cases where no draw odds
are offered. Should the specific match contain no winner (E.g. match ends as a
draw), or the particular occurrence not happen (E.g. First Goal, Draw No Bet
and match ends 0-0) the stakes will be refunded.
9) "Handicap" is where it is
possible to bet on whether the chosen outcome will be victorious once the
listed handicap is added/subtracted (as applicable) to the match/period/total
score to which the bet refers to. In those circumstances where the result after
the adjustment of the handicap line is exactly equal to the betting line, then
all bets on this offer will be declared void. Example: a bet on -3.0 goals will
be declared void if the team chosen wins the match by exactly 3 goals
difference (3-0,4-1, 5-2, etc). Any reference in this section to the term
“margin” is intended to be understood as the outcome emerging from the
subtraction of the goals/points scored by the 2 teams/participants.
Unless otherwise stated all handicaps
listed on TwinSpires site are to be calculated based on the result from the
start of the listed match/period to the end of the specified match/period. It
is however customary that for certain handicap bet offers in specific sports
(Asian Handicap in Football), only the outcomes obtained from the time of bet
placement until the end of the listed timeframe will be taken into consideration,
thus disregarding any goals/points scored before the time the bet was placed
and accepted. Any bet offer with these characteristics will be clearly
displayed on site and highlighted in the punter’s Bet History with the score at
the time of bet placement.
There are 3 different “handicap betting” formats:
2-way Handicap: Team A (-1.5) vs Team B
(+1.5)
Example:
·
Team
A is given a -1.5 goal handicap in the match. For the bet to be won, Team A
must win the match with a margin equal or bigger than the listed handicap (ie.
2 goals or more).
·
Team
B is given a +1.5 goal advantage in the match. For the bet to be won, Team B
must either win the match, match finish in a draw or not lose with a margin
equal or bigger than their listed advantage (ie. lose with a 1 goal margin).
3-way Handicap: Team A (-2) Draw
(Exactly 2) Team B (+2)
Example:
·
Team
A is given a 2 goal handicap in the match. For the bet to be won, Team A must
win the match with a bigger margin than the listed handicap (ie. 3 goals or
more).
·
Draw
would be the victorious outcome should the match end up with exactly the listed
margin (ie. match ends with results such as 2-0, 3-1 and 4-2).
·
Team
B is given a 2 goal advantage in the match. For the bet to be won, Team B must
either win the match, match finish in a draw or not lose with a margin equal or
bigger than their listed advantage (ie. lose with only a 1 goal margin).
Asian Handicap: Team A (-1.75) vs Team B
(+1.75)
Example:
·
Team
A is given a -1.75 goal handicap in the match. This means that the stake is
divided into 2 equal bets and placed on the outcomes -1.5 and -2.0. For the bet
to be fully paid out at the listed odds, Team A must win the match with a
bigger margin than both of their listed handicaps (ie. 3 goals or more margin).
In the eventuality that Team A wins with only a 2 goal margin, the bet will be
considered as partially won with a full payout on the -1.5 part of the bet and
a refund on the -2.0 side since the outcome on that part of the bet would be
considered a “tie”. Should the match produce any other outcome, including a
Team A victory with only 1 goal of margin, the whole stake would be lost.
·
Team
B is given a +1.75 goal advantage in the match. This means that the stake is
divided into 2 equal bets and placed on the outcomes +1.5 and +2.0. For the bet
to be fully paid out at the listed odds, Team B must either win the match,
match finish in a draw or not lose with a margin equal or bigger than any of
their listed advantages (ie. lose with only a 1 goal margin). In the
eventuality that Team B loses with exactly a 2 goal margin, the bet will be
considered as partially lost with a refund on the -2.0 part of the bet and a loss
on the -1.5 part of the bet. Should the match produce any other outcome which
results in a defeat of Team B with a margin of 3 or more goals, the whole stake
would be lost.
10) "Double Chance" is where it is
possible to bet simultaneously on two (partial or definite) outcomes of a match
or event. The options are: 1X, 12 and X2
with "1", "X" and "2" as defined in <Section B, Para 2.1>.
11) "Outright" or
"Place" betting is where it is possible to choose from a list of
alternatives and bet on the eventuality that a participant wins or places
within a specified position in the classification of the listed
event/competition. Should two or more participants share finishing positions,
the settlement will based as per the definition in <Section B, Para 5.14>.
12) An “Each Way” bet (aka EW) refers to a
bet where the chosen selection must either Win or else Place within the payout
terms. The bet is divided in two parts (the “Win” part and the “Place” part) of
an equal stake. Settlement of such bets will take into account the applicable
rules governing the "Win" and "Place" bets, namely the
Sport-specific rules as well as <Section
B, Para 5, Clause 11>.
13) "Goal minutes" is where it is
possible to bet on the sum of the minutes when the goals have been scored. When
settling such bets, goals scored in injury time of both halves are to be
considered as having been scored in the 45th minute in case the goal was scored
in the first half injury time and the 90th minute in case the goal was scored
in the second half injury time. Own goals will not count towards the settlement
of individual player’s ‘goal minutes'.
1) Fantasy/Virtual "Matches" or
"Head to Heads" are implicit match-ups where the performances of two
or more participants/teams which are not directly confronting each other in the
same match/event/round are compared. Settlement will be based on the number of
times each participant records a predefined occurrence (e.g. goals) in the
respective match. The following criteria will be used to determine the
settlement of these type of offerings:
a.
Unless specifically
stated the bets refer to the next official match/event/round (as applicable)
that the listed participants/teams are scheduled to take part in.
b.
All relative
matches/events must be completed on the same day/session which the
match/event/round is scheduled to be completed for bets to stand, except for
those offers the outcomes of which has been decided prior to the abandonment
and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be
settled according to the decided outcome.
c.
Results for these
offers will only take into account occurrences deriving from the actual play.
Results attributable to walk-overs as well as other decisions as specified in
clauses 2, 3 and 4 of <Section B, Para
5> will not be taken into consideration.
d.
Should the
aforementioned criteria be inconclusive in determining the outcome for these
offers, the following criteria will be progressively referenced to in order to
settle the offering:
(i) the applicable
Sport-specific rules as listed in <Section
C>,
(ii) Result Settlement
rules as listed in <Section B, Para
5>.
Bets will be settled
as void should it still be impossible to determine a winning outcome.
2) "Grand Salami" is where it is
possible to bet on the total number of listed occurrences (Example: Total
Goals, Total Runs) happening in a collection of matches/events on a specified
round/day/match day. All relative matches/events must be completed for bets to
stand except for those the outcomes of which have been decided prior to the
abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events,
which will be settled according to the decided outcome.
3) Over/Under bets on classification of
participants in performances/events must be interpreted as follows:
"Over" means a worse or lower position while "Under" means
a better or higher position. Example: A bet on a player's classification in a
tournament with an Over/Under line 2.5 will be settled as Under if the player
classifies first or second. All other placements will be settled as Over.
4) Bets on "Quarter / Half / Period
X" refer to the result/score achieved in the relevant timeframe and does
not include any other points/goals/events tallied from other parts of the
event/match. Bets will be voided if the match is played in any other format but
the one stipulated in the offer.
5) Bets on "Result at end of Quarter /
Half / Period X" refer to the result of the match/event after termination
of the stipulated timeframe and will take into account all other
points/goals/events tallied from previous parts of the event/match.
6) Bets on "Race to X Points / Race to
X Goals..." and similar offers refer to the team/participant reaching the
earliest the particular tally of points/goals/events. If the offer lists a
timeframe (or any other period restriction) it will not include any other
points/goals/events tallied from other parts of the event/match which are not
related to the mentioned timeframe. Should the listed score not be reached
within the stipulated timeframe (if any), all bets will be declared void,
unless otherwise stated.
7) Bets on "Winner of Point X / Scorer
of Goal X" and similar offers refer to the team/participant
scoring/winning the listed occurrence. For the settlement of these offers, no
reference to events happening prior to the listed occurrence will be taken into
consideration. Should the listed event not be scored/won within the stipulated
timeframe (if any), all bets will be declared void, unless otherwise stated.
8) Bets referring to the happening of a
particular occurrence in a pre-defined time order, such as “First Card”, or
“Next Team to receive penalty minutes” will be settled as void should it not be
possible, without any reasonable doubt, to decide the winning outcome, for
example in case of players from different teams which are shown a card in the
same interruption of play.
9) "Team to score first and win"
refer to the listed team scoring the first goal in the match and going on to
win the match. Should there be no goals in the match all bets will be settled
as void.
10) Any reference to "clean sheet"
indicates that the listed team must not concede any goal during the match.
11) "Team to win from behind"
refers to the listed team winning the match after having been at least 1 goal
down at any point in the match.
12) Any reference for a team to win all
halves/periods (e.g. Team to win both halves) means that the listed team must
score more goals than its opponent during all the stipulated halves/periods of
the match.
13) Any reference to "Injury Time"
refers to the amount displayed by the designated official and not to the actual
amount played.
14) Settlement of bets on offers such as
"Man of the Match", "Most Valuable Player" etc. will be
based on the competition's organisers’ decision, unless otherwise stated.
15) Settlement of bets which make reference
to terms such as "decisive goal" will be settled based on the scorer
of the goal that at the end of the match/tie (as applicable) proves to be the
one that has produced an unassailable lead, following which any further goals
would prove to be irrelevant towards the final outcome. For a bet to be settled
as "YES" the listed player's team must be declared winner of that
particular match (in case of one match) or progressing to the next
round/winning the competition. Goals scored in Regular Time and Extra Time
count but not Penalty Shoot outs.
16) Bets on events which feature a selection
of episodes that could happen in a match (E.g. "What will happen first to
the player? with options "Score a goal, Get a Yellow/Red Card, Be
Substituted) will be settled as void should none of the listed events/outcomes
occur.
17) Settlement of Transfer bets will also
take into account players signed by the club on loan deals.
18) Bets referring to Managerial changes
refer to the individual in the Head Coach/Manager role (as applicable) who
steps down/is removed from the position for any reason. Bets are valid even in
cases where a joint responsible (if any) leaves their position and will be
settled accordingly. In case that no more changes are happening between the
time the bet is placed and the last league fixture (excluding play-offs,
play-outs, post season, etc.) the bets placed after the last Managerial change
(if any) will be void, unless a suitable option has been offered for betting.
19) Offers referring to which
team/participant will achieve a particular accomplishment against another
team/participant (E.g. Next team to beat Team X) as well as offers which refer
to the classification on a certain date, will stand and be settled regardless
of any eventual fixture changes and number of games/rounds played.
20) Settlement of offers referring to which
team/participant will be the first to achieve a particular accomplishment
against other team(s)/participant(s) (E.g. Team to score first in Matchday X)
will be based upon the timeframe in the respective match in which the feat has
been accomplished. Example: Team A plays on Saturday and score their first goal
in the 43rd minute while Team B plays on Sunday and score their first goal
after 5 minutes, then Team B will be settled as winner.
21) From time to time TwinSpires might
decide to publish offerings referring either to the single performance of a
participant/team; or offerings which combine the potential outcomes of 2 or
more teams/participants (ex. Enhanced multiples), at higher odds than those normally
available. TwinSpires reserves the right to withdraw such offers, edit the
respective odds and effect any further changes TwinSpires might deem necessary
at its sole discretion.
Settlement of these offers will be based
on the following criteria:
1. Unless specifically stated the bets
refer to the next official match/event/round (as applicable) that the listed
participants/teams are scheduled to take part in.
2. All relative events must be completed
within the same day/session (as applicable) as listed in conjunction with the
offer. Should this not be the case, stakes placed on the offer will be fully
refunded except for those offers the outcomes of which has been decided prior
to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future
events, which will be settled according to the decided outcome.
3. Results for these offers will only
take into account occurrences deriving from the actual play. Results
attributable to walk-overs as well as other decisions as specified in clauses
2, 3 and 4 of <Section B, Para 5> will not be taken into consideration.
4. All connotations related to the bet
must be fully and unquestionably complied with for the bet to be deemed as
winning, regardless of any possible conflict with the Sport-Specific rules or
with any potential interpretation based on previous or current presentation of
offers related to events in that particular sport and the way these are
normally presented in TwinSpires Sports Book. Bets will be settled as void
should it still be impossible to determine a winning outcome.
While all necessary precaution has been taken by TwinSpires to ensure a
superior user experience, it is to be understood that markets might fluctuate
in such a way that at any given point in time these do not present an enhanced
value comparable to related bet offers currently present on site.
22)
During selected
events, TwinSpires will provide users with functionality to place bets
combining outcomes and occurrences from the same event (aka Intra-Event
Combinations), either through pre-established combinations present in its
Sportsbook (excluding Enhanced Multiples, Boosted Odds, etc for which <Section
B, Para 3, Clause 21> applies), or through the [BetBuilder]
functionality. Such functionality is only present at TwinSpires’ sole
discretion and without prejudice to related contingencies as described in.
Settlement will be based on the respective Sport-specific rules. All related
occurrences must be fully accomplished for a bet to be considered as having
happened and eventually paid out at the odds struck. Stakes refunded should any
part of the combination be settled as VOID. Where applicable, should the
combination feature any outcome the result of which ties exactly the chosen
Over/Under or Spread line (aka PUSH), such part of the combination will be
removed from settlement calculation and bets will be paid out taking into
consideration only the other parts of the combination.
23) “Teaser+” allows the user the
possibility to allocate the same pre-set amount of points to all outcomes
present in a parlay (combination) containing Spreads (Handicaps), Totals
(Over/Unders) or a combination of both. Example: User combines NFL Team X +6.5
points in a parlay with Over 41 points in the NFL game between Team Y and Team
Z. By choosing the “Teaser+ Football 6 points” option, the lines and odds get
recalculated into a parlay featuring Team X +12.5 points (previously +6.5),
combined with Over 35 points (previously Over 41). Should any part of a
“Teaser+” bet be settled as void (push), that particular selection will be
excluded from the parlay and the computation of odds/payout will be re-adjusted
accordingly.
24) Bets referring to “Rest of the game” or
similar will consider only outcomes and occurrences obtained from the time of
bet placement until the end of the listed timeframe, thus disregarding any
occurrences registered before the time the bet was placed and accepted.
25) Bets on specific timeframes/intervals
(example: Game result between 60:00-89:59), will consider only outcomes and
occurrences accumulated during the specified timeframe/interval. Settlement
will not take into account any other points/goals/events tallied from other
parts of the event/game outside the specified timeframe/interval, including
stoppage/injury time, unless specified.
1) In Pre-match betting, it is possible to
combine up to twelve (12) different offers on a single coupon. Based on these
twelve offers, Account Holders s can choose their own number of singles,
doubles, trebles etc.
2) In Live betting it is possible to
combine up to twelve (12) different offers on a single coupon as an accumulator
bet. All selected matches/offers in an accumulator must be included in the
coupon and no other multiple options (Example: singles, doubles, etc.) which
exclude 1 or more matches/offers are available.
3) TwinSpires reserves the right to limit
the amount of combinations due to what is known as outcome dependency, as
defined in the House Rules, and also other factors, solely at its own
discretion.
4) It is possible to include one or several
matches as ‘bankers’ which means that the selected matches/events will be
included in all coupons.
5) A ‘Trixie’ is a combination, which
includes one treble and three doubles from a selection of three matches.
6) A ‘Patent’ is a combination, which
includes one treble, three doubles and three singles from a selection of three
matches.
7) A ‘Yankee’ is a combination, which
includes one fourfold, four trebles and six doubles from a selection of four
matches.
8) A ‘Canadian’ (also known as ‘Super
Yankee’) is a combination, which includes one fivefold, five fourfolds, ten
trebles and ten doubles from a selection of five matches.
9) A ‘Heinz’ is a combination, which
includes one sixfold, six fivefolds, fifteen fourfolds, twenty trebles and
fifteen doubles from a selection of six matches.
10) A ‘Super Heinz’ is a combination, which
includes one sevenfold, seven sixfolds, twenty-one fivefolds, thirty-five
fourfolds, thirty-five trebles and twenty-one doubles from a selection of seven
matches.
11) A ‘Goliath’ is a combination, which
includes one eightfold, eight sevenfolds, twenty-eight sixfolds, fifty-six
fivefolds, seventy fourfolds, fifty-six trebles and twenty-eight doubles from a
selection of eight matches.
12) For display purposes, when necessary,
the second digit after the decimal point of the odds is shown as rounded up in
the Account Holder’s bet history to the nearest decimal number. The payout will
however be effected based on the actual odds multiplied by the stake,
disregarding the aforementioned rounding.
1) When settling results TwinSpires will do
its utmost to attain itself to information obtained first hand (during or
exactly after the event has been concluded), through TV transmissions,
streaming (web-based and through other sources) as well as official sites.
Should this information be omitted from first hand viewing and/or official
sources and/or there is an obvious Error in the information included in the
sources above, the settlement of the bet offer will be based on other public
sources.
2) Settlement of bets will not include any
changes deriving from and/or attributable to, but not limited to:
disqualifications, penalisations, protests, sub judice results and/or
successive changes to the official result after the event has been completed and
a result has been announced, even preliminarily. For bets referring to
competitions which span over more than 1 round/stage (E.g.: Season Bets), only
amendments effecting bets which settlement has not been decided yet will be
taken into consideration. Such measures must be announced by the governing
association before the last scheduled round/stage will be considered. Any
changes effected after this date, or else referring to bets which have already
been settled based on events happening during the event/competition will not be
considered.
3) Occurrences which have not been
sanctioned and/or acknowledged by the match/event officials (e.g. disallowed
goals) will not be taken into account towards the settlement of the bet. As a
general rule, and unless the offer specifies otherwise, TwinSpires will settle
offers based on the exact time that the flow of play was interrupted/resumed
(as applicable) by the occurrence in question (e.g. ball went out of play for a
throw-in/goal kick or crosses the line for a goal). Bets referring to the
accumulation of a particular occurrence (e.g. Total corners) and/or the
execution of a particular action, will require said occurrence to actually take
place during the time interval specified (e.g. the corner being kicked). In
such instances, should the occurrence be only awarded and not taken, it will
not be considered for settlement purposes.
4) All bet offers related to matches/events
which do not take place at all or are awarded a result through a walk-over
decision will be declared void.
5) In case of an abandoned event, all bet
offers that have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly
be changed regardless of future events, will be settled according to the
decided outcome. Should the abandoned
event not resume within 12 hours of its start time, all pending offers related
to the event will be settled as void.
6) In case an event is abandoned and is
scheduled to restart from the beginning, all bets placed before the initial
game which could not be settled through the outcomes deriving from the play
prior to abandonment, will be declared void regardless of whether or when the
game is continued
7) Any event which does not start within 12
hours from the kick-off time as last issued by the governing association will
be declared void. This includes cases like games which are postponed due to bad
weather, crowd trouble or similar scenarios. Exception to this are cases of
events whose starting times had not been officially defined yet by the
governing association at time of bet placement, or those which are moved due to
scheduling conflicts/tv broadcasts but are to be played within the same gameday
(where applicable). In such cases bets will remain valid granted that the
listed event is the next official commitment from that particular
tournament/league/competition scheduled for all participants in the offer.
8) In cases of events which have not been
completed before their natural conclusion, and a result is issued through a
decision by the association not more than 12 hours from the event’s start, TwinSpires
will use the issued decision as the official result for offers related to the
event's outcome, such as Game, Draw No Bet and Double Chance granted that the
issued decision does not change the outcome of the said bet offers at the time
of the abandonment. In that case the stakes will be refunded. All offers
referring to the tallying of particular occurrences (example: Total Goals,
Handicaps, etc) will be declared void except for those the outcomes of which
have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed
regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided
outcome.
9) All bet offers related to uncompleted
matches/events where the official governing body is not previously acknowledged
(e.g. Club Friendlies) will be declared as void unless at least 90% of the
stipulated Regular/Full time is played, see in <Section B, Para 1.1>. Should the match/event be abandoned
after 90% has been completed, the settlement will be based on the current score
at the time when the match/event was stopped.
10) Settlement of bet offers, such as, but
not limited to, shots, shots on target, ball possession, assists, rebounds,
etc. will be based according to the definition with which the official
governing body issues said statistics. Unless backed by un-contradictory
evidence, TwinSpires will not acknowledge any complaints which derive from a
personal interpretation of such terms.
11) When placing "Outright" or
"Place" bets, no stakes will be refunded on participants/outcomes
that are not participating or withdrawing from an event (both prior and
during), unless otherwise stated. TwinSpires reserves the right, at its own
discretion, to apply Tattersalls Rule 4, as explained in <Section B, Para 6>, on any competition and this will be
stated in correlation to the bet offer and/or the relevant Sport-specific rule.
12) No refunds of bets will apply, even if
the winning outcome of a match/event is a participant/outcome that has not been
listed for betting purposes. On all bet offers the account holder has the
possibility to ask for a price on a non-listed participant/outcome. TwinSpires
reserves the right, at its own discretion, to decline such requests.
13) In case a participant is
disqualified/withheld/banned from taking part in a subsequent part/phase of an
event/competition, the disqualification will be considered to have taken place
at the time of the participant’s removal from the event. No alterations will be
made to previous results, regardless of any modifications due to said actions.
14) If two or more Participants share the
applicable finishing positions and no odds have been offered for a drawn
outcome, the payout will be calculated by dividing the stake by the number of
participants sharing those certain positions and are settled accordingly. The
payout will always be at least equal to the stake, except in cases of “Head to
Heads”, see <Section B, Para 2.5> and <Section B, Para 5.19>
15) In “Group Betting” (aka “Best of X”),
all listed participants must start the event for bets to stand.
16) In “Group Betting” (aka “Best of X”), at
least one participant from the selection list must successfully complete the
event for bets to stand. Should that not be the case, and the governing
association does not follow specific tie-breaking criteria, the bets will be
declared void.
17) In a "Head to Head" between
two or three participants, all listed participants must start the particular
round/event which the bet refers to, for bets to be considered valid.
18) In a "Head to Head" between
two participants, all bets will be refunded if both participants share the same
position/score or are eliminated at the same stage of the competition, unless
the governing association follows specific tie-breaking procedures, in which
case, these will be deemed valid.
19) In a "Head to Head" between
three participants and more than one winning outcome, the odds will be divided
by the outcomes sharing the winning position, irrespective whether the net
outcome is lower than the Account Holder's stake.
20) If a "Head to Head" is offered
between different rounds/stages, all participants must take part in the
upcoming round/stage for bets to be valid.
21) Unless specifically stated, whenever the
organising association deems it fit to include any necessary rounds, matches,
or series of matches (e.g. Play-offs, Play-outs, Postseason) following the end
of the so-called Regular Season in order to determine the classification,
league winners, promotion/relegation, etc., TwinSpires will take into account
the results and outcomes deriving from these matches for settlement purposes of
bets referring to the final league classification, promotion, relegation, etc.
For example, seasonal bets on the team winning the NHL will refer to the
Stanley Cup Winners.
22) Offers which confront against each other
the performances of two or more individuals/teams over a stipulated
timeframe/competition will only be settled based on the result of the listed
participants, disregarding all other participants in the same
competition/event.
23) Unless specifically stated, all offers
referring to a single player’s performance in a specific domestic league (such
as Total Goals Scored by Player X in League Y) or "Head to Head" bet
offers involving two players’ performances in domestic leagues, will not take
into account those events happening during eventual
Play-offs/Play-outs/Post-season or any other matches, or series of, which would
happen after the so-called Regular Season.
24) Offers related to a total amount of
occurrences/events scored/tallied by a particular team, either in a single team
performance in a specific domestic league (such as Total Goals Scored by Team
X), or "Head to Head" bet offers involving two teams’ performances in
domestic leagues (E.g. Most Penalty Minutes in League X - Team Y vs Team Z), or
a cumulative league performance (E.g. Team to receive Most Yellow Cards in
League X) will not take into account those events happening during eventual
Play-offs/Play-outs/Post-season or any other matches, or series of, which would
happen after the so-called Regular Season, unless otherwise specified.
25) In a single player performance bet offer
in a specific domestic league (such as Total Goals Scored by Player X in League
Y) or "Head to Head" bet offers involving two players’ performances
in domestic leagues, should any of the following occurrences happen to either
of the participants in the selection list, the bets will be considered void:
(i) does not take part in at least 50% of the stipulated matches (excluding
eventual Play-offs/Play-outs/Post-season); (ii) does not take part in at least
another match after the bet has been placed, (iii) totals the same amount as
the other player.
26) In a single player performance bet offer
in a specific event (such as Total Goals Scored by Player X in International
Tournament) or "Head to Head" bet offers involving two players’
performances in specific events, should any of the following occurrences happen
to either of the participants in the selection list, the bets will be
considered void: (i) does not take part at all in the event (ii) does not take
part in at least another match after the bet has been placed, (iii) totals the
same amount as the other participant.
27) During specific events TwinSpires might
decide to offer for betting a reduced selection of participants and might also
include betting options such as "any other", "the field",
or similar. This option includes all unlisted participants except for the ones
mentioned specifically as available.
28) Offers that make specific reference to a
participant’s/participants’ performance in a particular event (e.g. Player X vs
The Field) are to be considered void if the mentioned participant(s) do(es) not
take part in the competition.
29) Any form of a qualification ahead of the
main event is considered to be a valid part of that competition. Thus any
participant who is eliminated at qualification stage will be considered losing
to anyone that is pre-qualified or is successful in the qualification part.
30) Bet offers which originally require
participant(s) to compete in two or more stages/legs to advance into a
subsequent phase/round of a competition, will remain valid regardless of any
postponement/movement of the actual match dates, given that said match(es)
actually takes place within the frame of the competition.
31) A bet on a “To Qualify” market
originally requiring just one stage/leg to advance to a subsequent phase/round
of a competition (including any eventual prolongations/additional matches, e.g.
replays) will be declared void if said match is not decided within more than 36
hours of its supposed start time.
32) Should an event be moved from its
originally announced venue and/or have its playing surface changed, this will
not be treated as a cause for the offers to be voided unless (i) the
Sport-specific rules dictate such, and/or the new location in which the event takes
place is the habitual "home" pitch of either participant involved in
the game, except as dictated below. As a general principle, TwinSpires will
refer to the Home team (host) and the Away team (visitor) in accordance with
the definition issued by the governing association for that particular
game/competition. Bets on games played on so-called "Neutral pitches"
will remain valid regardless of whether such information has been detailed in
the bet offer and/or the positioning of the teams on the betting board/display.
In those cases where there is a discrepancy between the positioning of the
teams/participants on the official website and their placement on the betting
board/display, and such discrepancy causes a significant effect on the odds of
the game/competition TwinSpires will void the affected bets. Such eventuality
is contemplated only in cases where the discrepancy has a material and visible
effect on the odds. For example, in cases of swapped Home and Away teams in an
Ice Hockey game TwinSpires will void the bets. Nevertheless TwinSpires will
consider valid bets placed on events where the so-called home-field advantage
is not considered and in cases of neutral venues. Examples of such cases
include but are not limited to tennis tournaments, MMA fights, singles
competitions in general, or specific events such as the final/late stages of
team competitions being held in pre-established venues, like the Superbowl, the
NCAA Final 4 or the Italian Football Cup Final even if the location can be
deemed as a potential customary "home" pitch for either of the teams
involved. In such cases, said events will be considered as being played in
neutral venues and all bets stand regardless of the positioning of the
teams/participants on the official website and their placement on the betting
board/display.
33) Information referring to gender of the
teams, age groups and youth teams, as well as various definitions of reserve
teams (e.g. B and C teams), is to be treated as supplementary information. The
inclusion (or lack of) and correctness of such information will not be treated
as sufficient cause for the voiding of the offers related to the match/event,
given that this does not cause an obvious inconsistency in odds offered.
34) While all necessary precautions are
taken by TwinSpires to assure the most faithful rendition of all components
involved in a bet offer, it is to be assumed that certain denominations could
be represented differently due to different interpretations deriving from
adaptations into another language. Such linguistic incongruence will not be
treated as sufficient cause for the voiding of the offers related to the
match/event, given that it does not create uncertainty with other participants.
The same applies for denominations referring to events, team names, sponsor
names, etc.
35) In case of bets where there is reference
to timeframes, they should be interpreted in the following way: “within the
first 30 minutes” will include anything happening until 0 hours 29 minutes and
59 seconds; “between 10 to 20 minutes” will include anything happening from 10
minutes and 0 seconds until 19 minutes and 59 seconds.
36) Unless listed either in conjunction with
the bet offer, or else in the Sport Specific rules, bets referring to
event/match duration which include non-full integer digits (E.g. 88.5 minutes
or X.5 rounds) require the full completion of the full integer of the listed
duration for them to be considered won. For example: a bet on Over/Under 88.5
minutes in a Tennis match will be settled as Over only if at least 89 full
minutes are completed.
37) TwinSpires acknowledges that some bets
might require the rounding-up of percentages, units or other criteria which are
decisive for the settlement of the bet. Should that be the case, TwinSpires
reserves the right to adjust and settle accordingly.
38) Any reference to goals scored by
specific players will not count if they are defined as ‘own goals’ (scored in
their own goals) unless otherwise stated.
39) Any reference to confederation,
nationality or similar will be subject to the definition by the governing
association.
40) Any medals won by a team/nation per
competition will count as one (1) single medal regardless of the number of team
members.
41) Offers related to a total amount of
occurrences/events scored/tallied by a particular player, in a single team
performance in a specific competition (such as Total Goals Scored by Player X
for Team Y) will only take into account total amount of occurrences/events
scored/tallied by the particular player while playing for that team in that
particular competition. Should any of the following occurrences happen to the
listed player, the bets will be considered void: (i) does not take part in at
least 50% of the competition's stipulated matches (excluding eventual
Play-offs/Play-outs/Post-season); (ii) does not take part in at least another
match after the bet has been placed.
42) Offers on whether certain individuals
will be occupying a specified position/title/job on a certain date (E.g.
Minister X to still be Minister on date Y, Player/Coach to still be with Team Y
on Date Z) refer to the individual in question to hold (or alternatively to be
appointed in) the listed position uninterruptedly between the time the bet is
placed and the specified deadline. Should the individual for any reason
whatsoever leave the position before the specified deadline, the outcome of the
bet will be considered as not having happened. This is valid even in cases
where the individual is re-appointed/signed again in that same
position/title/job and even if on the specified deadline the individual is
occupying once more that same position/title/job to which the bet refers to.
Settlements will also take into account players signed on loan deals.
1) In the event of one non-runner or one
non-Participant, the odds on the remaining runners or remaining Participants

part in the match/event/tournament at some stage for bets to stand.
5) All bets referring to aggregated
Tournament Totals (such as Points, Rebounds, Assists, etc.) will be settled
based on official statistics by the governing association. Unless otherwise
stated, cumulative amounts of such bets will include eventual prolongations
(e.g. Over Time).
6) Unless specifically stated or implied in
the offer characteristics, settlement of Season bets will be based as per the
classifications, definitions and tie-breaking rules as per NBA.com, or the
official website of the competition (as applicable).
7) All offers referring to player
performances remain valid regardless of eventual player trades during any point
in the season.
8) Offers referring to individual player
performances' in a single match (example: Total Points Scored by Player X) or
confronting performances from 2 individual players during the course of a match
(example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score most Points), require all
listed individuals to be an active participant in the applicable match for bets
to stand.
9) Offers referring to individual player
performances' over a particular period (example: Total Points Scored by Player
X during the Regular Season) or confronting performances from 2 individual
players during the course of the season (example: Which of Player X or Player Y
will score most Points during the Regular Season), require all listed
individuals to be an active participant in at least one more match applicable
for the offer after bet acceptance for bets to stand.
10) Bets on Double Result (ie. predicting
the outcome at Half Time combined with the result at the end of the 4th
Quarter) will not take into account any outcomes deriving from Overtime.
1) All bets will remain valid as far as the
match/offer is played within the tournament framework regardless of any changes
in schedule, conditions, etc., unless other arrangements have been agreed.
2) “Match” bet offers are based on the
general principle of tournament progress or tournament win, depending on which
phase of the competition the match refers to. The team progressing to the next
round or winning the tournament is to be considered the winner of the bet
regardless of match duration, withdrawals, disqualifications, etc. These bets
require at least one set to be completed for bets to stand.
3) “Over/Under” offers on unfinished
matches/events the outcome of which is already determined before the interruption
and/or any further continuance of play could not possibly produce a different
outcome to said offers, will be settled based on the result achieved until the
interruption. For the calculation of these settlements, the minimum amount of
occurrences which should have been needed to bring the offer to the natural
conclusion will be added as necessary depending on the number of sets which the
match is scheduled for. Should this calculation produce a situation where no
possible alterations could affect the outcome of the offer, this will be
settled as such. See examples from the Tennis section for reference.
4) “Handicap” offers require all scheduled
sets to be completed for bets to stand except in those events the outcome of
which is already determined before the interruption and/or any further
continuance of play could not possibly produce a different outcome to said
offers which will be settled accordingly. See examples from the Tennis section
for reference.
5) All “Correct Score”, “Odd/Even” and
those offers which refer to the winner of a particular period in the match
(example “E.g. Team to win the first set”) require the relevant part of the
match to be completed.
1) All offers will be settled according to
the official result of the relevant governing body immediately as declared by
the ring announcer at the end of the fight.
2) For settlement purposes, in case the
match is interrupted for any reason in between rounds, e.g. retirement before
the start of a round, disqualification, failure to answer the bell, the fight
will be deemed to have finished at the end of the previous round.
3) Offers on fights declared as a "No
Contest" or "Technical draw" will be settled as void, except for
those offers the outcome of which has been decided prior to the decision and
could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be
settled according to the decided outcome.
4) If for any reason, the number of rounds
in a fight is changed, offers which make specific reference to rounds, such as
"Round betting", "Group of Rounds", "Over/Under",
"Method of Victory" and “To go the distance” will be declared void.
5) For settlement purposes, betting on
rounds or groups of rounds refers to a fighter to win by KO (Knockout), TKO
(Technical Knockout), or disqualification during that round or group of rounds.
If for any reason, a points decision is awarded before the full number of
scheduled rounds is completed, or a boxer is disqualified, bets will be settled
on the round in which the fight was stopped. Bets which nominate 'to win on
points' will only be deemed winners if the full number of rounds is completed.
6) For a match to be declared as having
been decided by "points", (e.g. the different definition of
"decision"), all scheduled rounds must be completed. All other decisions
(e.g. KO, TKO, withdrawal, submission, disqualification, failure to answer the
bell, clash of heads, low blow, etc.) will be settled as if the boxer has won
the fight without the need of a decision, aka "before the bell".
7) Bets referring to round/fight duration
represents the actual time passed in the round/fight, as applicable, depending
on the scheduled round/fight duration. For example a bet on Over 4.5 Total
Rounds in a Boxing fight will be settled as Over once a minute and a half in
the 5th Round has passed.
a. General Cricket Rules
1) In cases where no odds have been offered
for a tie and the match/offer ends in a tie, bets would be settled according to
the so-called “dead-heat” rule where the payout would be calculated after the
odds are divided and multiplied by the stake, irrespective whether the net
payout is lower than the Account Holder's stake. Should such provision be in
place, it would be listed in conjunction with the bet offer. In competitions
where other means are used to determine a winner after a tie (‘Bowl out’ or
‘Super over’) then offers will be settled based on the result after such
prolongations are completed.
2) “Highest Opening Partnership” requires
that both sides complete their opening partnerships with the exception of those
situations where an outcome has already been determined.
3) “Batting” Head to Heads require that
both players be at the batting crease while a ball is bowled, though not
necessarily facing a ball. In case either batsman’s innings are not completed
bets will be voided with the exception of those situations where an outcome has
already been determined.
4) “Bowling” Head to Heads require that
both players bowl at least 1 ball for bets to stand.
5) Total “Batsman Runs” (Over/Under)
require the innings to be completed. In cases where a batsman's innings is ended
by weather or bad light, all bets where a result has not been determined will
be declared void. A result is deemed to have been determined if a Batsman has
passed the Run total at which the bet was accepted, has been dismissed or an
innings is declared. For example, if a Batsman's score stands at 50 ‘Not-Out’
when a game or innings is terminated due to bad light or rain, all bets on 50.5
Runs will be voided. However, all bets on “Over 49.5 Runs” will be considered
as winning while bets on “Under 49.5 Runs” will be settled as losing. Should a
batsman retire due to injury, his score at the end of his team's innings will
be considered as the result for that bet.
6) In “Fall of Next Wicket” betting should
either batsman retire due to injury before a result has been determined all
bets will be declared void. A result is deemed to have been determined if the
Innings total has passed the Run total at which the bet was accepted. If a team
declares or reaches their target, the total achieved by the batting team will
be the result of the market. If a partnership is disrupted due to weather all
bets will stand, unless there is no further play in the match. In such case all
bets where a result has not been determined will be declared void.
7) For “Next Over” betting (Over/Under
& Odd/Even), extras are included for settlement purposes. Bets will be void
if the Over is not completed unless a result has already been determined.
Market refers only to the listed Over (e.g. “5th Over” refers to Over number 5,
i.e. the Over directly following Over Number 4).
8) In “Race to X Runs” both players must
open the batting for bets to stand.
9) For “First Over” Runs the Over must be
completed for bets to stand, unless the maximum range offered has already been
achieved. Any Extras count for settlement purposes.
10) For “First Scoring Play” betting, should
Runs be scored from a “No ball”, extras will be deemed as the winner.
11) In “Wicket 1st Over” betting the Over
must be completed for bets to stand, unless a wicket has already fallen.
12) In “Next Man Out” betting bets will be
settled as void if either player retires due to injury before the wicket falls
or there is no further wickets. Both named Batsmen must be batting at the fall
of the nominated wicket for bets to stand.
13) For “Method of Dismissal” betting bets
will be void if either player retires due to injury before the wicket falls or
there is no further wickets. ‘Any Other’ includes hit wicket, handled ball,
obstructing the field, timed out or hit the ball twice.
14) For Odd/Even betting a ball must be
bowled for bets to stand.
15) "Top Batsman" and "Top
Bowler" bets placed on any player not in the starting 11 will be declared
void. Bets on players who are selected but do not bat or field will be settled
as losers.
16) Settlement of betting on "Wides"
will be based on the "Runs" scored from "Wides" and not the
number of "Wides" bowled.
b. Limited Overs (including One-Day
Internationals, Twenty20s & Domestic One-Day cricket)
1) Should a match be transferred to a
‘reserve’ day, all bets will remain valid.
2) Head to Head betting pays on official
result. In the event of a tie, dead heat rules as explained in Clause 1 of the
General Cricket Rules might apply unless a subsequent tiebreaker method is used
to determine the winner (e.g. super over, bowl-off), in which case the outcome
will be settled on the result of this method. Should the match be declared a
'no-result' all bets will be settled as void. Any other betting on the match
(example High Bats, Most Sixes, Batting & Bowling Head to Heads etc.) will
not include any outcomes deriving after the dispute of the tiebreaker.
3) “Top Batsman/Bowler” requires a minimum
of 20 overs to be bowled per innings of a One Day Match, unless a team is
All-Out or the match is completed, or a minimum of 5 overs to be bowled per
innings of a Twenty 20 match, unless a team is All-Out or the match is
completed.
4) For “Total Team Runs” betting, all bets
will be declared as void should the number of Overs be reduced due to weather,
or any other reason, from the standard scheduled number of Overs in a Twenty 20
match or any other limited Overs match. Should the outcome of such offers be
already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly
change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.
5) For “Highest 1st 6/15 Overs” bets will
be void if both teams do not face the full amount of overs unless target has
been reached or the team has been bowled out. In the event of a tie dead heat
rules as explained in Clause 1 of the General Cricket Rules might apply.
6) For “Most Fours/Sixes/Wides/Run-outs”
betting, should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the
number of Overs being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time the
bet was accepted, then all open bets will be declared void granted that the
reduction per Innings is of 3 or more Overs in a Twenty 20 match, and of 5 or
more in other limited Overs matches. In case that the reduction per Innings is
of 2 or less Overs in a Twenty 20 match, and of 4 or less Overs in other limited
Overs matches bets will stand. Should the outcome of such offers be already
decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the
outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.
7) For “Total Fours/Sixes/Wides/Run-outs”
betting, should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the
number of Overs being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time the
bet was accepted, then all open bets will be declared void granted that the
reduction per Innings is of 3 or more Overs in a Twenty 20 match, and of 5 or
more in other limited Overs matches. In case that the reduction per Innings is
of 2 or less Overs in a Twenty 20 match, and of 4 or less Overs in other
limited Overs matches bets will stand. Should the outcome of such offers be
already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly
change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.
8) For “Winning Margin” bets are void if
there is any reduction in the original scheduled Overs for either team.
9) Highest Individual Score bets are void
if there is any reduction in scheduled Overs for either team unless a “Century”
has already been scored.
10) In Team of Highest Individual Score
there must be an official match result for bets to stand.
11) For “Team of Top Batsman” betting,
should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the number of
Overs being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time the bet was
accepted, then all open bets will be declared void granted that the reduction
per Innings is of 3 or more Overs in a Twenty 20 match, and of 5 or more in
other limited Overs matches. In case that the reduction per Innings is of 2 or
less Overs in a Twenty 20 match, and of 4 or less Overs in other limited Overs
matches bets will stand. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided
before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome
of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly. In the event of a tie,
dead heat rules might apply as explained in Clause 1 of the General Cricket
Rules.
12) For “Fifty/Century in Match” betting,
should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the number of
Overs being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time the bet was
accepted, then all open bets on Most Sixes/Run-Outs will be declared void
granted that the reduction per Innings is of 3 or more Overs in a Twenty 20
match, and of 5 or more in other limited Overs matches. In case that the
reduction per Innings is of 2 or less Overs in a Twenty 20 match, and of 4 or
less Overs in other limited Overs matches bets will stand. Should the outcome
of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play
would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled
accordingly.

1) If a match is officially abandoned (e.g.
due to dangerous pitch conditions) then all undecided bets on the match are
void.
2) In “Match Result” betting in the event
of a tie (where both teams have completed two innings each and have the same
score) all bets to win on either team might be paid as a dead heat, as

team/rider performance bet offer in a specific event (such as Total Stage wins
by Team/Rider X in Tour Y) or "Head to Head" bet offers involving two
riders/teams performances in specific events, occurrences happening in events
which are given any of the following denominations will not count towards the
settlement: Prologue, Team Time Trial.
1) Terms and conditions stated for Cycling
apply where applicable.
1) First Goalscorer – The bet refers to a
specific player being the scorer of the first goal either during a particular
timeframe of the event (E.g. “First goal in the match” or “First goal in the
2nd Half”), or else being the first scorer for his team (E.g. “First Goalscorer
– Team X)”. Stakes will be refunded on players who do not take part in the
match or else come on the field of play after the goal to which the bet refers
to has been scored. Own goals do not count for the settlement of this offer.
Should the goal to which the bet refers to be deemed as an own goal, the next
player to score a goal which is not an own goal and conforms with the bet offer
parameters will be deemed as the winning outcome. In case no goals (or no
further goals, as applicable) is/are scored which are not own goals and fulfil
the remaining bet offer parameters, all bets will be considered lost.
2) Last Goalscorer – The bet refers to a
specific player being the scorer of the last goal either during a particular

– Team X)”. Stakes will be refunded only on players who do not take part in the
match at all. In all other instances bets will remain valid, irrespective of
the time of inclusion/substitution of the player. Own goals do not count for
the settlement of this offer. Should the goal to which the bet refers to be
deemed as an own goal, the previous player to score a goal which is not an own
goal and conforms with the bet offer parameters will be deemed as the winning
outcome. In case no goals (or no previous goals, as applicable) is/are scored
which are not own goals and fulfil the remaining bet offer parameters, all bets
will be considered lost.
3) "Scorecast" and “Matchcast”
are bet offers where it is possible to bet simultaneously on a particular
occurrence (e.g. First Goalscorer) combined with another from the same, or
related event (e.g. Correct Score in the match, or match outcome). Should the
bet refer to First or Last Goal Scorer, terms and conditions as stated in <Section C, Para 14.1> and <Section C, Para 14.2> will apply,
where applicable. Stakes will be refunded on players who do not take part in
the match at all. In all other instances bets will remain valid, irrespective
of the time of inclusion/substitution of the player. Own goals do not count for
the settlement of this offer.
4) Unless otherwise specified, or indicated
in conjunction with the bet offer, all other goal-related bets will require the
listed player(s) to play from the start of the match to be valid. Own goals
will never count as a goal scored for any selected player.
5) On all bets related to yellow/red cards,
booking points, etc., only cards shown to players which at that moment are on
the pitch are valid for settlement purposes. Cards, disciplinary actions,
suspensions, imposed on any other individual which at the moment of the
sanction is not, or should not, be actively playing on the pitch, as well as
disciplinary measures taken after the game has officially ended, are
disregarded.
6) All disciplinary-related bets referring
to individual(s) (e.g. yellow card, red card, number of fouls), will require
the listed player(s) to play from the start of the match to be valid.
7) "Booking Points" are
calculated according to the following rules: Yellow card = 10 points, Red card
= 25 points. Maximum points for one player are 35.

“Over/Under” bets involving the performance of one or more players in the match
are considered valid given that all listed players start the match for bets to
stand.

“Over/Under” bets involving the performance of one or more players in the
event/tournament are considered valid given that all listed players take part
in the event/tournament at some stage for bets to stand.
10) All bets referring to aggregated
Tournament Totals (such as Goals, Corners, Cards, Penalties, etc.) will be
settled based on official statistics by the governing association. Unless
otherwise stated, cumulative amounts of such bets will include eventual
prolongations (e.g. Extra Time) but not Penalty Shoot Outs.
11) Unless specifically stated, all bets
referring to a particular team winning a number/selection of trophies in the
same season will be based on the particular team's performance within the
following competitions: the domestic league, the apparent equivalent of the respective
FA Cup and League Cup as well as the Champions League or Europa League. Other trophies (e.g. domestic and European
Super Cup, World Club Cup) do not count.
12) The "Domestic Double" is to be
considered as the team’s victory in the apparent equivalent of the respective
domestic league and FA Cup.
13) For settlement purposes, bets referring
to the number of cards shown by the referee will be counted as follows:
·
Yellow
card = 1
·
Red
card = 2
·
One
yellow and a red = 3
·
Two
yellow cards and a red = 3
The maximum cards for one player is 3
cards. Only cards shown to players currently eligible as per C.14.5 will be
taken into consideration.
14) Bets on whether a particular player(s)
will manage to score from certain areas of the pitch (E.g. from outside the 'penalty
box') will be settled based on the position of the ball at the time the shot
was struck by the player, irrelevant of any further deflections which the ball
trajectory might incur following the initial shot. For the sake of clarity, it
is to be understood that the lines delineating the 'penalty box' are to be
considered as an integral part of such area of the pitch. Thus, should a shot
be struck with the ball hovering above, or touching, even partially, said
lines, the shot will not be considered as having been effected from outside the
box.
15) Bets on whether a particular player(s)
will manage to hit the cross bar, goal post or any other part of the frame
delineating the goal area will only be settled as having accomplished such feat
if the shot does not result directly in a goal being awarded exactly after the
ball hits a part of the goal frame. Settlement will only take into
consideration shots aimed at the goal frame defended by the opponents of the
listed player(s) team. Should a player have a shot which hits the post their
team defends this will not be considered as having accomplished such feat.
16) During certain events TwinSpires might
decide to offer for betting a reduced selection of participants (E.g. Any
unlisted Team X player) or else a single participant as a representation of the
whole squad (E.g. “Any Team X player”). In both cases for settlement purposes,
all unlisted squad members are to be deemed as starters (and settled as such),
including substitutes regardless whether they take part in the match or not.
17) Bets on the performance of players
starting the match on the bench will be settled as void if the player is either
listed in the starting XI or does not take part in the match at all.
18) On offers such as Next Goalscorer, Next
Carded player, Next Assist and Man of the Match, stakes will be refunded should
the chosen player not take part in the match at all. Results for this offer
will include any outcomes obtained during eventual Extra Time but not during
Penalty Shoot-outs.
19) Bets on “Next Assist” for a particular
goal will be settled as void should the governing association declare the
specified goal as having been unassisted, the specified goal is an own goal
and/or no more goals are scored in the match. Results for this offer will
include any goals scored during eventual Extra Time but not during Penalty
Shoot-outs.
20) Bets referring to penalty kicks
conversion and/or outcome will be settled according to the outcome occurred on
the field of play as per the rules governing that specific scenario and in
cases of penalty shoot-outs will remain valid regardless of the format employed
by the governing association during the shoot-out. Bets stand in case the
penalty is ordered to be re-taken and will be settled with the outcome achieved
from the re-taken penalty.
As a general principle, settlement will
be based on the concept that unless the penalty kick results in a goal being awarded
(and settled accordingly), the first person/object/location (as applicable)
which the ball initially touches after being kicked will be considered as the
winning outcome, disregarding any other persons/objects the ball hits in its
subsequent trajectory following any previous deflection, if any. The following
examples are being issued as a general guideline on settlement:
"Goal" would be the winning
outcome in case of the following scored penalties scenarios:
·
Any
penalty kick which ends up as a goal without it being deflected;
·
Goalkeeper
touches the penalty kick but ball ends up as goal;
·
Penalty
kick touches the woodwork before ending up in goal.
"Save" would be the winning
outcome in case of the following missed penalties scenarios:
·
Goalkeeper
deflects the penalty kick to outside the goal frame;
·
Goalkeeper
deflects the penalty kick onto the post/crossbar.
"Woodwork" would be the
winning outcome in case of the following missed penalties scenarios:
1) Penalty kick hits the woodwork before it
is touched/saved by the goalkeeper;
2) Penalty kick hits the woodwork and ball
goes outside the goal frame.
"Any other Miss" would be the
winning outcome in case of any penalty kick which without any deflection either
by the goalkeeper or by the woodwork ends up outside the goal frame:
Exception to the above scenarios would
be in in case of penalty shoot-outs, should the ball hit the woodwork, bounce
on the goalkeeper and end in goal, such penalty will be considered as having
been scored while should said situation occur during any other part of the
match which is not a penalty shoot-out, the penalty taker would be considered
as having missed to score and "hitting the woodwork" will be
considered as the winning outcome.
21) Any decision taken by the Video Assistant
Referee (VAR) which conflicts with the original decision sanctioned by the
officials on the pitch (including non-decisions like allowing play to continue
before reviewing the video), thus altering the understood state of the match at
the time of bet placement, will result in all bets placed in the timeframe
between the actual occurrence of the original incident and the referee's final
decision on the incident being deemed as void, unless the odds offered on the
specific bet offer are unaffected by the use of VAR or have already been
accounted for in the odds offered at the time of bet acceptance. Settlement on
all other unrelated bet-offers, including those determined by any play between
the time of the original incident and the decision following the VAR review,
which are not influenced/altered by the VAR decision will stand.
For resulting purposes VAR reviews are
to be considered as having happened at the time of the original incident for
which the VAR would be eventually used even if play has not been immediately
interrupted. TwinSpires reserves the right, in accordance with the House Rules,
to reverse any previously settled offers where the settlement becomes
inaccurate following the final referee decision, providing said decision is
taken and communicated before the conclusion of the match and/or timeframe
listed.
In order to avoid any doubts, TwinSpires
will consider the VAR as having been used if it is understood from the
referee's gestures (ex.hand gestures, stopping the match to review the incident
themselves), and/or the VAR usage is confirmed by the match report issued by
the official organization. In cases where it is unclear whether the VAR has
been used due to missing TV coverage and/or conflicting reports, TwinSpires
will settle the bets based on the information acquired from feed providers and
generally reputable online sources on the basis of equity.
22) For settlement purposes, markets
referring to team to be shown the next Card (booking) and/or “Total Cards” will
always consider a Red Card as 2 instances of a card being shown and will be
settled accordingly. The following examples are being listed as a guideline:
• First card shown in a match is a
straight Red Card. The team to which the card is awarded will be settled as the
winning selection for the offers: Cards #1 and #2;
• First card shown in a match is a
Yellow Card followed by a straight Red Card to the same player without a second
yellow card being shown. The team to which the cards are awarded will be
settled as the winning selection for the offers: Cards #1, #2 and #3;
• First card shown in a match is a
Yellow Card followed by a second Yellow Card with the subsequent Red Card to
the same player. The team to which the cards are awarded will be settled as the
winning selection for the offers: Cards #1, #2 and #3.
23) Markets referring to which specific
player will be the next to be booked/receive a card are to be understood and
settled as per the order of the instance in which each single player gets
booked/sent off by the referee. The card colour shown by the referee will not
be given any consideration in the settlement of this offer and the decisive
criteria will always be the order in which the single player is considered to
have gone into the referee’s book. For settlement purposes it is possible for a
single player to be listed twice as the “Next Carded player” as much as both
bookings occur during different interruptions of play. Should 2 or more players
be booked during the same interruption of play, bets on this offer will be
settled as void.
24) Any reference to “Free Kicks” both when
presented as a single outcome, as well as an occurrence will also take into
consideration instances awarded for offsides and any other violation except
those sanctioned with a penalty.
25) Offers referring to specific player(s)
playing the whole match require the specified player(s) to start the match for
bets to stand. For settlement purposes, bets will be settled as YES only if the
specified player(s) is/are neither substituted nor sent off during Regular Time
only. Eventual extra time does not count.
1) All bets will be deemed as valid as much
as the Tournament, or the relative round to which the bet refers to, is played
within the same year, irrespective of any time delays, unless other arrangements
have been agreed to.
2) All bets referring to Tournament
Performance (Winner, Place, Group Betting, Top Nationality, Individual Final
Position, etc.) will be deemed valid as long as 36 holes have been completed by
the eligible players, and an official result has been declared by the
organisation.
3) Bet offers already decided are
considered as valid bets even though 36 holes are not played and/or an official
result has not been issued by the organisation.
4) Any result deriving from
officially-sanctioned playoffs will count towards the settlement of the offers.
.
5) Bets on players who start the tournament
but withdraw voluntarily or are disqualified will be settled as losing bets,
unless the result of the offer which the bet refers to is already determined.
6) All Win/Place bets referring to the
Competition Winner and Top Nationality Markets placed after 00:00CET of the
Monday of the week of the tournament on participants who do not compete at all
will be refunded. All other Win/Place bets will be deemed valid.
7) In outright bets which include a limited
selection of participants, such as Top Nationality, Group Betting, etc., TwinSpires
reserves the right to apply Tattersalls Rule 4 on any non-starter. Dead Heat
rules will apply except for cases where a play-off has determined a better
finishing position.
8) All "Head to Head" bet offers
require all participants to start in the event/round to which the bet refers
to.
9) In "Head to Head" bets
featuring only two players, stakes will be refunded if both participants share
the same finishing position and no draw option has been offered. In "Head to Head" bets featuring
three players, should two or more participants share the same finishing
position, stakes will be divided in accordance with <Section B, Para 5.19>.
10) Settlement of "Head to Head"
bet offers involving the performance of two or more players (e.g. Best
Finishing Position in the tournament) will be based upon the best finishing
position/lowest score (as applicable) achieved in the relative event/round
which the bet refers to.
11) Any reference to Make/Miss the
"Cut" requires an official cut/exclusion effected by the organisers
for bets to stand. In the case of tournaments where players are eliminated
during more than one phase, settlement will be based on a whether the player
has qualified or not following the first "Cut" made.
12) Disqualification/withdrawals by a player
before the "Cut" is made, will result in the player being considered
as having missed the "Cut". Disqualification/withdrawals subsequent
to the "Cut" being made will be irrelevant towards the original
settlement of the "Make the Cut" offers.
13) In "Head to Heads" based on
the best finishing position in the tournament, in case one player misses the
cut then the other player will be settled as the winner. If both participants fail
to make the "Cut" the player with the lowest score at the
"Cut" will be considered as the winner. Should both players fail to
make the "Cut" with the same score then the bet will be void. A
player disqualified after the "Cut" has been made is deemed to have
beaten a player who has failed to make the "Cut".
14) Any reference to "Majors" will
be based on the tournaments for that particular season to which the PGA
attributes said definition, irrespective of any venue, date, or any other
changes.

listed individuals to be an active participant in the applicable match for bets
to stand.

podium presentations, or at the end of the session/race/event (as applicable).
Should the information required for the settling of the offer be missing/not

listed participants must take part in the session to which the bet refers to
for bets to stand, irrespective of whether a driver manages to get an official

otherwise the bets will be declared void.
10)
Time penalties inflicted by the
governing Association during the qualifying session(s) will count. Other grid
demotions/promotions are disregarded.
11)
A Race is considered to have started when
the warm-up lap starts (where applicable), thus all drivers/riders taking part
in the warm-up lap are deemed to have started. In case of a participant whose
start is delayed, or starts the race from the pit lane, the participant is also
deemed to have taken part.
12)

into account the classification issued exactly after the completion of the last
race of the season including any decisions taken by the organizing association
during the season, given that said decision is issued before the last race of
the season. Any decision (even on appeal) taken after the end of the last

scheduled which will be refunded should the race/event/session that the offer
refers to not be held within 7 days of the scheduled date at the time the bet
was placed.
15)
Bets referring to specific teams'
performance during the race require the initially stipulated number of vehicles
from each team to start the race for bets to stand, otherwise they will be
declared void (e.g. in Formula 1, two cars from each team should start the
race).
16)

(over) time is played. In such cases bets are settled according to the
so-called “dead-heat” rule where the payout would be calculated after the odds
are divided and then multiplied by the stake, irrespective of whether the net
payout is lower than the Account Holder's stake. Should such provision be in
place it would be listed in conjunction with the bet offer.
4) Try Scorers (First/Last/Anytime/Team) –

payout is lower than the Account Holder's stake. Should such provision be in
place it would be listed in conjunction with the bet offer.
3) Try Scorers (First/Last/Anytime/Team) –
All bets include any potential extra (over) time. Any bets placed on players in

bets involving the performance of one or more players will require the listed
participant(s) to play from the start of the match to be valid.

3) “Over/Under” offers on unfinished
matches/events the outcome of which is already determined before the
interruption and/or any further continuance of play could not possibly produce
a different outcome to said offers, will be settled based on the result
achieved until the interruption. For the calculation of these settlements, the
minimum amount of occurrences which should have been needed to bring the offer
to the natural conclusion will be added as necessary depending on the number of
sets which the match is scheduled for. Should this calculation produce a
situation where no possible alterations could affect the outcome of the offer
this will be settled as such. See examples from the tennis-section for
reference.
4) “Handicap” offers require all scheduled
heats to be completed for bets to stand except in those events the outcome of
which is already determined before the interruption and/or any further
continuance of play could not possibly produce a different outcome to said
offers which will be settled accordingly. See examples from the tennis-section
for reference.

“Over/Under” bets featuring the performance of one or more riders in an
event/heat are considered valid given that all listed riders take part in at

2) All bet offers will be settled based on
the first official result being presented. However, TwinSpires will take into
account and settle/re-settle accordingly, any changes to the official result
issued within 24 hours after the event has taken place. For such eventuality to
be considered, the protest must be attributable to incidents happening
exclusively during the event, such as a lane infringement or an early start in
a relay race, etc. No doping cases will be considered. The result available at
the end of the aforementioned 24 hours will be deemed as binding regardless of
any further protests, changes to the official result, etc.
3) If two or more participants take part in
different heats during a competition, all Head-To-Head-offers between them will
be considered void, unless there is a later stage in the competition that at
least one of them qualifies for.

surface types, unless other arrangements have been agreed.
2) “Match” bet offers are based on the
general principle of tournament progress or tournament win, depending on which
phase of the competition the match refers to. The player/team progressing to
the next round or winning the tournament is to be considered as the winner of
the bet regardless of match duration, withdrawals, disqualifications, etc.
These bets require at least one set to be completed for bets to stand.
3) “Over/Under” and "Handicap"
offers on unfinished matches the outcome of which is already determined before
the interruption of play and/or where any further continuance of play could not
possibly produce a different outcome to said offers, will be settled based on
the result achieved until the interruption. For the calculation of these
settlements, the minimum amount of occurrences which should have been needed to
bring the offer to the natural conclusion will be added as necessary depending
on the number of sets which the match is scheduled for. Should this calculation
produce a situation where no possible alterations could affect the outcome of
the offer this will be settled as such. The following examples can be used for
consideration:
·
Example 1 -
Over/Under: A retirement occurs in a match scheduled for three sets with the
score 7-6, 4-4. The offers: “Total Games Set 2 – 9.5” (or any lines lower than
that amount) & “Total Games Played in the Match – 22.5” (or any lines lower
than that amount) will be settled with “Over” bets as winning and “Under” bets
as losing. Bets on lines higher than that will be settled as void.
·
Example 2 - Handicap:
A retirement occurs at the start of the 3rd set in a match scheduled
for 5 sets with the score at 1-1. Bets on +2.5/-2.5 Sets will be settled as
winners and losers respectively. Offers on any lines lower than that amount
will be settled as void.
4) All “Correct Score” (namely Set Betting
and Game Betting), “Odd/Even”, and those offers which refer to the winner of a
particular period in the match (example “Which player will win the first set?”
and “Set 2 – Game 6: Winner” require the relevant part of the match to be
completed.
5) All type of offers not specified above
require at least one set to be completed for bets to stand, except for those
offers the outcome of which is already determined before the interruption of
play and any further continuation of play could not possibly produce a
different outcome.
6) In a Doubles match, all bets will be
declared void if any of the stated players are being replaced.
7) Any reference to "Grand Slams"
will be based on the tournaments for that particular season to which the ITF
attributes said definition, irrespective of any venue, date, or any other
changes.
8) Unless explicitly stated, all bets on
Davis Cup matches will be voided in case it is decided that the match is played
in any other format than “Best of 5 Sets”, (e.g. Best of 3 Sets).
9) Offers relative to the Davis Cup are offered
with the explicit assumption that the particular match-up will form part of the
so-called “rubbers” for the next available Singles session, which usually
consists of two Singles matches per session. All bets will be cancelled on
matches which are intended for the first or second rubber (usually Friday
Singles matches) which had the listed participants changed, regardless of the
fact that the same encounter could actually happen during other match-ups of
the same tie/round.
10) Results acquired in a "Pro
Set" will be valid only for the following offers: "Match",
"Set Handicap", "Set Betting" and "Total
Sets". All other types of offers
will be settled as void, with the exception of offers the outcome of which is
already determined.
11) In cases where a "Match
Tie-Break" is used by the organizing committee/federation as the deciding
factor in determining the outcome of the match, said "Match
Tie-Break" will only count as 1 "Game" as applicable. (Example:
A match with the following scores: 6-4 (Set 1), 2-6 (Set 2) and 10-8 (Match
tie-break) will be resulted in Participant/Team A winning 9 Games (6+2+1) while
Participant/Team B will be considered as won 10 (4+6+0).
1) Any points tallied during the so called
“Golden Set” will not count for the settlement of the offers relating to that
particular match, with the exception of any bets referring to tournament
progression and Tournament Totals.
2) Settlement of player-related bets in
match/event/tournament will be based on the result after potential over (extra
time, unless otherwise stated.
3) "Head to Head" and
“Over/Under” bets involving the performance of one or more players in the
match/event/tournament are considered valid given that all listed players take
part in the match/event/tournament at some stage.
4) “Over/Under” and "Handicap"
offers on unfinished matches the outcome of which is already determined before
the interruption of play and/or where any further continuance of play could not
possibly produce a different outcome to said offers, will be settled based on
the result achieved until the interruption. For the calculation of these
settlements, the minimum amount of occurrences which should have been needed to
bring the offer to the natural conclusion will be added as necessary depending
on the number of sets which the match is scheduled for. Should this calculation
produce a situation where no possible alterations could affect the outcome of
the offer, this will be settled as such. See examples from the tennis-section
for reference.
5) All “Correct Score” offers, “Odd/Even”,
and those offers which refer to the winner of particular period/timeframe in
the match (example “Which team will win the 1st set?” and “Set 2 – Race to 15
points” require the relevant part of the match to be completed.
6) All type of offers not specified above
require at least one set to be completed for bets to stand, except for those
offers the outcome of which is already determined before the interruption of
play and any further continuation of play could not possibly produce a different
outcome.
1) This section is valid for the following
sports: Alpine Skiing, Biathlon, Cross Country Skiing, Freestyle, Nordic
Combined, Short Track, Ski Jumping, Snowboard & Speed Skating.
2) Results from a competition will be
deemed valid if it is declared as a valid competition for the relevant
category, by the governing association for that sport. This applies in case of
an event being shortened, such as only consisting of one run/jump instead of
two, or an event being moved to another venue.
3) In cases of abandoned/uncompleted
events, all those offers the outcome of which is already determined before the
interruption of play and any further continuation of play could not possibly
produce a different outcome are deemed valid and will be settled accordingly.
4) All offers will be settled as void if
the original/stated format of an event is completely changed, like the size of
hill in Ski Jumping, style in Course Country Skiing, etc.
5) TwinSpires reserves the right to apply
Tattersalls Rule 4 in case of a non-starter in a “Group Betting” (“Best of X”)
offer.
6) Offers related to specific Winter Sports
events (excluding for example bets referring to Overall classifications,
Olympic, World and Continental competitions), are offered with the explicit
assumption that the particular event will be the next event held in that
particular sports/discipline. Should the specific event be moved for any reason
whatsoever and an exactly similar event for that sports/discipline is held in
the same location starting in not more than 72 hours, the bets will be valid
for the next scheduled event in that sports/discipline. Thus, if for example
two separate races from the same sports/discipline are scheduled for Friday and
Saturday and the Friday competition is moved to Saturday or Sunday, the bets on
the Friday competition will be settled in accordance with the next scheduled
event, in this case Saturday's events. In cases where just 1 event is scheduled
in that sports/discipline and the starting time is moved less than 72 hours,
bets will remain valid and will be settled accordingly. Should no event with
the same connotations be held in the 72 hour period after the initially
scheduled time, bets will be settled as void.
7) In a "Head to Head" between
two or three participants, at least one of the listed participants must
complete the final run/stage/jump which the bet refers to, for bets to be
considered valid. Such provision is not applicable for Cross-country Sprint
events which include different elimination stages as well as Ski Jumping. In
such cases, settlement will be based on the official classification
irrespective of whether any of the listed participants completes the final
run/stage/jump.
1) As mentioned in the House Rules, TwinSpires reserves the right to limit the net
payout (the payout after the stake has been deducted) on any bet or combination
of bets, by one Account Holder or any group of Account Holders acting together.

1) Terms and conditions stated for Boxing
apply where applicable.
1) All bets will remain valid as far as the
match/offer is played within the tournament framework regardless of any changes
in schedule, etc., unless other arrangements have been agreed.
2) “Match” bet offers are based on the
general principle of tournament progress or tournament win, depending on which
phase of the competition the match refers to. The player progressing to the
next round or winning the tournament is to be considered the winner of the bet
regardless of match duration, withdrawals, disqualifications, etc. These bets
require at least one frame to be completed for bets to stand.
3) “Over/Under” offers on unfinished
matches/events the outcome of which is already determined before the
interruption and/or any further continuance of play could not possibly produce
a different outcome to said offers, will be settled based on the result
achieved until the interruption has occurred. For the calculation of these
settlements, the minimum amount of occurrences which should have been needed to
bring the offer to the natural conclusion will be added as necessary depending
on the number of frames which the match is scheduled for. Should this
calculation produce a situation where no possible alterations could affect the
outcome of the offer this will be settled as such. See examples from the Tennis
section for reference.
4) “Handicap” offers require all scheduled
frames to be completed for bets to stand except in those events the outcome of
which is already determined before the interruption and/or any further
continuance of play could not possibly produce a different outcome to said
offers which will be settled accordingly. See examples from the Tennis section
for reference.
5) All “Correct Score”, “Odd/Even” and
those offers which refer to the winner of a particular period in the match
(example “E.g. Player to win the first set” or "First Player to reach X
Frames") require the relevant part of the match to be completed.
6) All types of offers not specified above
require at least one frame to be completed for bets to stand, except for those
offers the outcome of which is already determined before the interruption of
play and any further continuation of play could not possibly produce a
different outcome.

which the match is scheduled for. Should this calculation produce a situation

be settled as such. See examples from the Tennis section for reference.
