Wagering on Futures: ie: Odds to win the World Series, Odds to win the

Baseball Rules
When wagering on baseball moneylines, the following options apply to pitchers:
Pitcher Options:
1. Listed Pitchers - both pitchers must start in order to have action.
2. Selected Action - the pitcher of the team you have wagered on must start in
order to have action.
3. Opposing Action - the pitcher of the opposite team you have wagered on must
start in order to have action.
4. Action - there is action regardless of the starting pitcher.
*Starting Pitcher = Pitcher who starts game and throws the first pitch for the
team. *Choosing an action bet (options 2, 3, or 4) might lead to an adjusted
price if the starting pitcher does not start the game since the original price
was based on the listed (advertised) pitcher starting the game.
When wagering on runlines, game totals, or team totals, both listed
(advertised) pitchers must start, otherwise there is "No Action" or
"Push/Cancel" on straight wagers, and parlays drop to the next lower level
A baseball game becomes official for moneyline wagering purposes after 4 1/2
innings if home team is winning, or 5 innings if visiting team is winning.
If a game is cancelled or suspended, the winner is determined by the score
after the last full inning (unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the
lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined
by the score at the time the game is called).
Wagers will be refunded on moneyline bets if the home team ties the game, and the game is then
suspended or cancelled.
Events do not carry over to the following day (unless otherwise specified).
For runlines and game totals (over/under), a baseball game becomes official
after 8 1/2 innings if home team is winning, or 9 innings if visiting team is
winning.
If a game goes past 9 innings and is not completed (ie suspended, curfew, rain
delay, etc.), there is action on game total and runline wagers.
When betting on "mega runs," all games that are covered must be declared
official for action. Action continues on mega run bets regardless of starting
pitchers.
Las Vegas Rules apply for any rules not mentioned here.
Wagering on Future Events i.e. Breeders Cup, Kentucky Derby, Preakness, etc.
If the horse that is wagered upon does not qualify to enter the race, the wager
is a loss.
Thoroughbred Wagering
Wagers can be placed on all thoroughbred tracks.
Wagering is possible by Win, Place, Show, Exactas, Quinellas, Trifectas,
Parlays and Daily Doubles.
Horse Rules
A time stamp will be placed on all wagers.
All horse wagers must be placed prior to two (2) minutes before the tracks
published post time. All wagers placed past this cutoff will be cancelled.
Track Odds will be paid on winning horses up to a maximum of:
Straight wagers: Win 20-1, Place 8-1, Show 4-1
Exotics: Exactas, Daily Double, Trifectas, etc. 100-1
Wagers will be graded by horse name and not the program or post position
number.
When betting horses with an entry, and you want action on all horses in the
entry, you must choose the entry, i.e. 1X (Entry), and not an individual horse.
For example, in a race with 1, 1A, and 1X, you must place a bet on 1X to
guarantee action on both 1 and 1A. By placing a bet on 1X, you still have
action even if one of the horses in the entry scratch.
You also have the option of placing a bet on an individual horse (i.e. 1 or 1A)
in an entry which means you only want action on the entry bet if the individual
horse selected does not scratch. If the individual horse selected runs, your
wager will be treated the same as a bet on 1X (Entry).
Exotic wagers will only be paid in cases where the particular track offers this
type of bet. If an exotic wager is placed on a race that does not offer it, the
wager will be refunded.
Horse Matchups
All horses listed in the matchup must start in order for there to be action.
However, in cases where the matchups are against "the field," (meaning all
other horses in the race) and a horse scratches that is part of "the field,"
the bet will still stand.
The winner of a horse matchup is the horse with the best finish placement.
Wagers on a golfer who does not play in the tournament are graded as No Action, and all monies refunded.
A golfer is deemed to have played once he or she has teed off. In the event of a player withdrawing after having teed off, wagers on that player will be lost.
Rules for specific type of golf wagers offered: Win, Top 3-4-5-10, Top Nationality or any other kind of group betting (4 or more players)
We offer varying odds for a golfer to Win, Place (Top 3, 4 or 5), Top 10 and numerous types of group betting (Top European, Winner without Tiger Woods, etc)
in a tournament.
If the golfer does not tee off to start the tournament, the wager will be "No Action" or "Push/Cancel" and all money will be refunded.
If player withdrawals constitute 1/5th (20%) or more of original amount of listed players - ALL bets are cancelled.
On the odds to win, the "Field" includes all players not offered by name.
In the event of a tie, (except for Tournament Winner betting), the player with the lowest score in the last round played will be declared the winner.
Should there still be a tie between 2 or more players the odds are paid proportionally. This is determined by taking the odds for the
wager and adding 1 for the stake. The result is divided by the number of golfers involved in the tie, and then multiplied by the
number of winning positions occupied.
ie: If 3 golf contestants tie for 4th in a tournament the payout would be (1 + odds) divided by 3 [number of contestants tied for 4th] multiplied by 1 [number of winning positions occupied - 4th place only].
ie: If 3 golf contestants tie for 3rd in a tournament the payout would be (1 + odds) divided by 3 [number of contestants tied for 3rd] multiplied by 2 [number of winning positions occupied - 3rd and 4th positions].
If a tournament does not go the specified number of completed holes (usually 72), and is shortened by the tournament officials, the leader at the end of the number of holes specified by the officials will be the winner,
unless there is no further play or only part of a round completed after a bet has been placed, in which case that bet will be
canceled. Tournament must go at least 54 holes.
Wagering on match-ups between golfers (2 or 3 Players)
The winner of the match-ups will be decided by which golfer ends up with the lowest score having played equal rounds. Both golfers must tee off in the tournament or the wager will be "No Action" or "Push/Cancel" and all money will be refunded. If one of the golfers misses the cut, withdraws, or is disqualified during the tournament, the opposing golfer wins the match-up.
Often "Tournament" match-ups are updated after each round. These new odds will be for the entire remainder of the tournament including the possible event of a playoff.
If a player is disqualified during either the 3rd or 4th rounds, when the other player in the match bet has already missed the cut, the disqualified player will be considered the winner.
Settlement will be on the player achieving the highest placing (lowest score) at the end of the tournament. If the number of rounds played is reduced, as in the case of bad weather, bets stand, providing that an official tournament winner is declared.
3-Way match-ups, also known as 3-balls will be decided by the lowest score at the end of the round (18 holes). If a player starts the round and withdraws he is considered a loser but if a player withdraws before the start of the round then all group bets will be cancelled. In the event of starting groups being rearranged, bets will be settled on the original groups.
3-Ball Tie Breakers: Should in the event 2 or more players tie, the player with the most birdies will be declared the winner. If still 2 or more players are tied, only bets on the tied players after use of the 1st tie breaker will be cancelled and monies refunded.
To miss/make the cut:
For some tournaments we may offer prices for players to make the cut (take part in the final rounds), or miss the cut (fail to qualify for the final rounds).
Wagering on 2-Way match-ups with a Tie: Player A, Player B, Tie
The winner will be decided by the lowest score at the end of the round (18 holes). In the event of a Tie at the end of the round (18 holes) wagers made on both players will be a loss, thus making the Tie a winner.
This is the most common odds used by The Greek Sportsbook where the bettor (punter)
has three choices: team A, team B, or a tie. This type of wagering makes sense,
since in regular season it is possible for a match to end in a tie. If you
wager on a team in this scenario and the outcome of the match at the end of 90
minutes is a tie, the wager is a loss. If you wager on the tie, and one of the
teams wins at the end of 90 minutes, the wager is a loss.
Important Note
The Greek Sportsbook mainly uses Moneyline with Tie type of odds. Unless otherwise
specified, all bets are for regulation time (first 90 minutes) only. Different
bookmakers apply different sets of rules with regards to soccer betting. Please
make sure you understand The Greek Sportsbook full set of rules before wagering on
soccer.
To Advance Wagering
For competitions such as the World Cup or FA Cup a two option only line may be
quoted. This is a wager on a team to advance, whether they win in 90 minutes,
in an extra time period, or in a penalty shootout. There is no possibility of a
tie.
In Game (or Live) Betting
For popular events, the game itself may be opened again for wagering after it
is has started. Please note that this is ALWAYS AN ADJUSTED GAME PRICE. It is
not a wager to win a certain half, such as may be offered for American football
or basketball.
Proposition (Exotic) Wagering
All proposition wagers are for 90 minutes only. This includes:
Correct score - where you must correctly predict the final score of the game.
Halftime/fulltime - where you must correctly predict the result of the game at
half time and at 90 minutes. For example if you wager USA/Draw as your
halftime/fulltime option then USA must be winning at half time, and a draw at
90 minutes for your wager to be a winner.
First/Last goal scorer - where you must correctly predict the player who will
score the first (or last) goal. This comprises two separate markets and you
must clearly state whether you wish to bet on a player to score the first OR
the last goal. Any bets accepted without first or last goalscorer stipulated
will be deemed to be bets on the first goalscorer market. Bets on players who
take no part in the game will be void. Bets on first goal scorer, where the
selection does not play until after the first goal has been scored will be
void. Bets on first goal scorers where the selection is substituted or sent off
before the first goal is scored will be treated as losers. For last goal scorer
purposes, should a player take any part in the game, then the bet shall stand.
Own goals do not count for purposes of first/last goal scorers. Prices for
players not quoted are always available on request, and will count as winners
if they score the first/last goal.
Player to score at anytime - where you must correctly predict a player to score
at any time in 90 minutes play. If a player takes no part in a game then bets
will be void.
First half betting - this is on the result of the game as it stands at the end
of the first half. Please note that this includes three options and you will
notice that the draw can be a favorite for first half betting. Should the game
be abandoned prior to half time then all bets shall be deemed void. However, if
the game is abandoned after the half time result is known then all bets will
stand.
Total goals - where you must correctly predict the number of goals in the game.
This market will typically have three outcomes; 0 goals, 1 or 2 goals and 3 or
more goals.
Booking Points - where you must correctly predict the number of booking points
in a game. For betting purposes, a yellow card will be allocated 10 points and
a red card allocated 25 points. The maximum points any individual player can
accumulate is 35 points. This market will typically have three outcomes, for
example; 25 points or under, between 30 to 40 points and 45 points or over. In
addition, booked players must be playing at the time of the booking.
Team to score first/next goal - where you must correctly predict the team to
score the first goal. In the event of a game being bet in play then prices on
team to score next goal will be available. Please note that there will also be
an option for no first/next goal in this market.
Total Corners - where you must correctly predict the number of corners taken in
a match. Corners awarded but not taken will not count towards the total. This
market will typically have three outcomes, for example; 10 corners or less,
exactly 11 corners, 12 or more corners.
Time of first goal - where you must correctly predict the time of the first
goal. Please note that there will also be an option for no first goal in this
market.
Total Shirt Numbers - where you must correctly predict the aggregate number of
the goal scorers' shirt numbers for all the goal scorers in the match. For
example, in a match between Everton and Liverpool, Liverpool won the match 3 -
0. Michael Owen scored two goals (Owen wears shirt number 10) and Harry Kewell
scored 1 goal (shirt number 7). Therefore the aggregate number for this match
was 27 (10 + 10 + 7).
Soccer Rules
All odds are subject to fluctuation and amendment and are based on the result
at full-time. The terms full-time, 90 minutes play, and normal time are all
used to denote the period of play that includes injury time but not extra time,
penalty shoot-outs, etc.
Bets will be accepted up to the advertised kick-off time. If a bet is
inadvertently accepted which includes a match after its kick-off time, the bet
will be considered past-post and voided accordingly. Game date and times posted
are for guidance purposes only and are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
Total Goals Betting - Wagering on game totals (over/under) only include goals
scored in regulation time. (First 90 minutes)
Outright Betting - Where there are odds quotes for Outright as well as 90
minutes play (i.e. Cup Finals, etc.) unless "to win outright" or qualifying
price has been laid, all bets are settled on 90 minutes of play.
Divisional Betting - In divisional betting, the finishing position of teams at
the end of the scheduled program of matches will determine placing with no
allowance for play-offs or subsequent enquiries by the respective leagues.
Postponed Games - If a game is postponed and rescheduled to occur within 48
hours of the original start time, all bets stand. If rescheduled for more than
48 hours later, all single bets are void and wagers refunded while affected
multiple bets will be recalculated excluding that leg.
Abandoned Games - Should a match be abandoned before 90 minutes of play then
all bets will be declared void and wagers refunded WITH THE EXCEPTION OF:
bets involving first goalscorer and next goalscorer, provided the first/next
goal has been scored before the match is abandoned,
bets involving time of first goal, where the time of the first goal has been
determined before the match is abandoned.
bets involving result at half time (not including half time/full time betting),
where the half time result is known.
If a match is suspended and an official result is declared immediattly (same day) by the
ruling body, we will grade the match as a result declared by the ruling body. This scenario is
not considered an abandoned match.
Like other similar types of contests, you may wager on a player to win a
tournament at fixed odds.
Tournament wagers are considered "All-In." Refunds are not given if a player
withdraws.
Match-ups
Head to head match-ups are available between contestants.
Two full sets must be completed without either player retiring or being
disqualified for head to head match-up wagers to stand. Otherwise, wagers will be cancelled and all money will be refunded.
Wagers placed on match-ups WILL have action even if the match is postponed (due
to weather) and completed on a later date.
In the event of a change in playing surface, bets will be made void in the case of a major surface change i.e between grass, clay and all types of hard and synthetic surfaces. Otherwise, bets will stand regardless of any change of venue with similar surface, or changes from indoor to outdoor and vice versa.
Match must be completed for set betting, handicap betting and total games to stand. Otherwise, wagers will be cancelled and all money will be refunded.
Wagering on a fighter usually involves Moneyline (Win Price) types of odds.
Proposition wagering is often available including total number of rounds, win
by knock-out, win by decision, and even wager on the draw.
The draw is available as a proposition. If you wager on a fighter, and the
fight ends in a draw, the wager is "No Action" or "Push/Cancel" and all money
is refunded.
Boxing Rules
The decision that is declared the night of the fight will be considered final
and used when grading wagers. Wagers will not be re-graded if the decision is
overturned at a later point in time.
If a match is postponed and rescheduled to occur within 7 days of the original
start time, all bets stand. If rescheduled for more than 7 days later, all
single bets are void and wagers refunded while affected multiple bets will be
recalculated excluding that leg. (Unless Otherwise Stated in the Event Disclaimer)
For wagering purposes, the disqualification of a boxer during a match will
be counted as a Knockout by his opponent.
If the wagering offer on a match includes the draw as a third option and
the match ends in a draw, wagers on the draw will be paid, while wagers on either fighter will be lost.
If the wagering offer includes only the two boxers,
with the draw either not offered or offered as a separate proposition, and the match
ends in a draw, wagers on either fighter will be refunded.
Point spread is determined by the difference in the combined total of all
3 judges' scorecards for each fighter. Bout does not have to complete the listed
scheduled amount of rounds for wagers to have action. If bout ends prior to the
completion of listed scheduled rounds, by KO, TKO, or DQ, the winning fighter
will be declared the point spread winner. In the event of a technical decision,
prior to the completion of scheduled rounds, scorecards will be tallied and
determined as if the bout went the distance.
Should a Fight be Declared a NO CONTEST - ALL Wagers will be cancelled and monies refunded.
Las Vegas Rules apply for any rules not mentioned here.
General Motor Racing Rules - Applies to all series:
Results will be graded at the end of the race as posted on the official site for that series e.g. Nascar.com, f1.com, indyracingleague.com etc. If there was an error on the site in the posting of the results, then the results will be regraded. If changes are subsequently made due to appeals or decisions of the governing body unrelated to the original finishing order (i.e. penalties for rules infractions, dangerous driving, etc.) the original results will still be deemed as the official results for grading purposes. Appeals and administrative penalties are not applicable for betting purposes.
A driver must start for action. If the driver withdraws prior to the start of the race then bets on said driver will be refunded. If he withdraws after the start or is replaced by another driver all bets on that driver will stand. In the case of a replacement driver the original driver will be deemed as the driver of that car for the entire race.
For win bets and pole bets to count at least 1/2 of the scheduled drivers must start in the race or in the qualifying session for pole bets. Similarly for multiple position bets such as top 3, top 8 etc. at least 2/3 of the scheduled drivers must start in the race. If fewer than 2/3 of the scheduled drivers start all bets will be graded as a push/cancel.
Wagering on the "Field" includes any driver that odds have not been assigned to.
Match-Up betting: Applies to all series.
When wagering on a match-up, both drivers involved must start the race otherwise the wager is "No Action" or "Push/Cancel" and money is refunded. The start of the race is signified by the lap where the cars have completed the warm up laps and the race begins to countdown. In NO instance will warm up laps be counted for betting purposes. In a case where the starting driver is replaced during the race with another driver from the same team, the position the new driver finishes in will be awarded to the original driver. This holds for wagering on win odds and/or match-ups.
In head to head betting if 2 drivers retire from the race on the first lap then all bets on those drivers will be graded as a push/cancel. Subsequent to the first lap, the final results posted on the official body's website will be used for grading purposes.
Qualifying Matchups - all series:
Qualifying match-ups are graded based on qualifying times (not the starting line-up).
Qualifying match-ups are deemed action as soon as the driver starts the qualifying lap and the timer begins.
If a driver has started the qualifying lap, but does not post a time because of mechanical failure, accident, etc. the wager will still be graded as action.
If the driver fails to start the qualification for any reason (i.e. does not begin the timed qualifying session), then the wager will be graded as no action, and money refunded.
If a driver starts a qualifying session, but fails to post a time, then the driver will be deemed to have no time, which is the slowest time possible. If two drivers are matched up against each other, and neither posts a time, the matchup will be graded as a push/cancel.
In the case where two drivers post the exact same time to the thousandth of a second, then the matchup will be graded as a push/cancel. The starting position where the governing body places them in this instance is not relevant for betting purposes.
For NASCAR only, qualifying matchups are closed at the start of first practice unless a disclaimer is made on the site otherwise. This may occur when practice is the day before qualifying. If a disclaimer is not made, any qualifying bets made after the first practice session has begun will be graded as no action, and the bets will be refunded.
Nascar Propositions
All Nascar propositions will be graded if the race is run to at least half of the scheduled laps with the exception of "average speed for the race." Average speed will only be paid out if the race is run to the full scheduled number of laps. If the race is halted prior to the scheduled number of laps, then the average speed contest will be graded as no action, and the bets will be refunded.
Formula 1 Propositions:
All Formula 1 propositions are action unless a disclaimer is made on the site staying the exception.
If a race or qualifier is postponed for any reason, all wagers will remain valid for 4 Days (96 Hours). If the postponement lasts more than 4 Days, all wagers will be canceled and the monies refunded.
In the event of a tie, all bets will be void (all bets called off)
If a full match is abandoned (due to weather or any other reason) all bets on
the match are deemed void and are refunded. If a match is transferred to a
reserve day, new bets will need to be placed.
If a match is declared a "no result," it is deemed abandoned, and all bets
relating to the end result are void, and money refunded.

weather or any other reason) but not abandoned, all bets will stand including
in running bets and the results will be those determined by the relevant
recognized governing body under the competition rules. (Duckworth/Lewis method)
In knockout competitions (i.e. ICC Knockout and World Cup) "bowl offs" to
determine the result of an individual match will not count. Tie or abandoned
rules will apply.
In tournaments where a "bowl off" is required to determine the winner, the
result of the "bowl off" will apply.

All bets are settled on the official classification(s) listings, published by the respective race governing bodies, at the conclusion of the event. Subsequent disqualifications and/or appeals will not affect bets.
It should be noted that events like mountains classification and points classification are graded by total points and not time.
Matchups
Match-ups will be settled upon the cyclist achieving the highest placing in the specified event/stage.
In the event of one or both cyclists not passing the starting line then bets will be deemed void.
If both cyclists start but fail to finish a specific event/stage then bets will be deemed void.
If both cyclists start a specific event/stage and only one fails to finish then the cyclist who completes the specific event/stage will be deemed the winner.
For non timed classifications like points or mountain, the cyclist with more points will be deemed the winner. If both cyclists complete all stages and fail to score any points then the bets will be voided and the stake returned. If a cyclist fails to start a stage then he is deemed to have withdrawn in the prior stage.
Event Specials
The specified event must be completed in full (statutory number of stages), otherwise bets will be void unless the result is already determined.
For named rider specials, the specified rider must start the respective event/stage for bets to stand.
For 'number of rider' specials, the statutory number of teams must start the specified event for bets to stand.
The match is deemed official when a team is leading after 10 ends (or extra ends if the score is tied after 10) or when one team concedes. This applies to all bets including odds to win, total score and handicap betting.
In special cases where a skip is listed in the odds (such as a skins game or skills competition), that player must skip the game listed or the bets will be voided.
If a match is postponed, the bets will stand for 48 hours. If the event has not started in 48 hours from the listed time, bets will be cancelled.

regardless of whether your team or selection plays or not. This condition will
generally apply to "win the competition" or "win the tournament" type events.

case an individual or team withdraws from such event.
Unless otherwise specified, events must take place within two weeks of the date
specified for the event. If the event is postponed beyond that time for any
reason, then the contest will be declared no action and all bets will be
refunded.
