Game Terms
In the case of Football and other Sports, bets are settled on the official result published by the Press Association (PA), immediately after the match/event is finished. If the PA amends their decision after this period, all bets will stand on their original result. If the result is not immediately available from the PA, the result published by the official governing body immediately the match/event is finished will be used for settling purposes. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes. Please refer to specific rules for individual events. Related bets Multiplied odds do not normally apply for the same selection to win more than one event and the only bets available at the current odds are singles. We may have special prices available that apply to selected doubles, trebles, accumulators and so on. For example:
Warwickshire to win all four English county tournaments -Tiger Woods to win all 4 Major golf titles
Please ask us for the special prices available. If we accept in error a bet made up of doubles, trebles etc. at the individual event prices, we will settle your bet at the special price available at the time you placed it. If a special price was not available, we will divide your stake equally as singles at the individual event prices available at the time you placed the bet. If you take a special double price for the same selection in two events and the selection does not take part in one of them, your bet will be settled as follows:
If you have placed your bet before the 'day of event' for both events, our normal Ante Post rules apply. This means that if your selection does not take part in one of the events we will settle your bet as a loser. This applies even if your selection has been successful in the other event. If you have placed your bet on the 'day of the event' for one of the events and your 'day of event' selection does not take part, this will be treated as a non-runner and the bet will become a single for the remaining Ante Post event. We will then settle your bet based on the price and place terms available at the time you placed your bet (normal Ante Post bets apply). When we offer prices on different selections in the same event, these cannot be combined in accumulative bets where the outcome is related. The only exception to this is where special prices are made available, e.g. a Scorecast on a football match. If such a bet is accepted in error, we will settle the bet by dividing the stake unit equally where the related outcomes clash. Non-Runners Sports bets are accepted 'All in compete or not' and if a player or team is withdrawn before they have taken part in the event (in any way), your bet is a loser. If the event is advertised 'Non runner no bet' stakes will be refunded on a player or team withdrawn prior to the start of an event. If you have placed a winning bet on a sporting event when a different player or team is withdrawn, we may apply the equivalent to a Tattersalls' rule 4(c) to your winnings, based on the price of the selection withdrawn. Player/team withdrawn after the official start If a player or team has taken any part in the sporting event once it has officially started and then fails to complete for whatever reason, we will settle your bet as a loser. Cup/Trophy competitions Unless we advertise other terms, we will settle outright betting on the player or team that lifts the trophy. Knock out competitions Tournament betting will be settled on the player or team that wins the trophy. We will settle bets in knock out competitions, on the competitor who qualifies for the next round. This applies as long as the match has started and is not drawn and replayed. If the match is drawn and replayed, bets will stand on the replayed match. Outright/Tournament & Handicap Betting When odds for both Outright/tournament and handicap betting are advertised, the bet will be settled on the Outright/tournament result unless the handicap price is specifically selected at the time the bet was placed. Where only handicap betting is available the bet will be settled as a handicap bet whether selected or not. Venue changes If your team is no longer playing at the venue advertised, you bet will still stand. This applies as long as the venue has not been changed to the opponent's ground (or in the case of international matches, as long as the venue remains in the same country). Abandoned matches If a match is abandoned before Full Time* has been played, bets on the match outcome will be void, unless an official result is declared. Bets on all markets which have been unconditionally determined will stand, for example in American Football, First Touchdown Scorer bets will stand if a touchdown has been scored. Full time is determined by the rules of the specific sport, please refer to any special rules or terms in relation to that sport. Match Betting (Selection v Selection) This bet is based on one selection or more beating another according to the specific conditions advertised and is accepted as singles and upwards, as long as the bets are not related. If a selection in the Match bet does not take part the bet will be void. If the selections dead heat, dead heat rules apply. If dead heat rules apply, we willapply half your stake to the selection at full odds and you will lose the other half.

For one day matches (domestic and international), if we have not quoted a price for a tie and the official competition rules do not declare a winner, then dead heat rules apply.

Ice Hockey NHL rules: All settlements are based on results and statistics provided by the relevant league's governing body and are sourced from http://www.nhl.com In the NHL, the winner of the Eastern or Western Conference is the team that represents that conference in the Stanley Cup - not the team that has the best regular season record. Pre match markets: Overtime (including any subsequent shootout), counts for all markets unless stated otherwise. In the event of a shoot out, the winning team are credited with one goal and this counts for all markets where applicable. Overview of specific markets: Money Line: At least 15 minutes of official time must elapse in the 3rd period for bets to stand. 60 minute markets are settled on 60 minutes of play, overtime and shootout goals are not included. 65 minute markets are inclusive of all overtime and shootout goals where applicable, and the one goal rule applies to these markets. First Goalscorer: In the event of an abandoned game bets stand on scores that have taken place already. Overtime counts for these markets. First Goalscorers are all in play or not. Goalscorer markets are offered with the option "others on request". Game Totals / Period Totals / Team Totals: The game total result is the combined goals for both teams inclusive of overtime. At least 15 minutes of official time must elapse in the 3rd period for bets to stand, unless the total is already over. In the event of the totals goals being the exact quote where no exact price is offered, all stakes are refunded. Period goals only apply to that specific period and the entire period must be played. For 3rd period lines, overtime does not count. Prop markets: Overtime counts for all proposition markets, except for those that are based on specific periods of play. At least 15 minutes of official time must elapse in the 3rd period for bets to stand. Puck Line: A puck line is a bet where a handicap is given to a selection. The result used for settling is the match result adjusted for the handicap line available at the time the bet is struck. For example, Tampa Bay +1.5 v Calgary -1.5, result: Tampa Bay 2-3 Calgary. Tampa Bay wins on the handicap. Overtime counts for all puck lines. All above rules apply. Player(s) props: The respective player(s) must start for bets to stand.

If a match is abandoned all bets will be void, except for those markets which have been unconditionally determined. If an official result is declared then all bets stand. If a match is not played on the scheduled date all bets will be void. 'Period Betting - 20 mins only' Each 20 minute period is treated as a separate 'mini-match' and therefore your selection must score more goals than the other team within the chosen period to win. Any existing score in the match is not carried forward, and so for the purposes of Period Betting, every period is considered as starting 0-0, as no goals have have yet been scored in the period. For example, if your selected team wins a match 2-0, scoring in the 1st and 3rd periods, the period scores would be 1-0, 0-0 and 1-0. If you had bet on the team to win "2nd Period Betting - 20 mins only", although your team won the match, the winning selection for Period 2 would actually be "Draw". Back to top Motor Racing

Football - Acceptance of bets
All football bets will be settled on 90 minutes play (also referred to as Full-time and normal time). This denotes the period of play which includes time added by the Referee for injuries and other stoppages. This does not include scheduled extra time, or Penalty shoot-outs, if played. In matches where penalty shoot outs or extra time are due to take place, all bets are settled on 90 minutes unless an Outright price is specifically requested and confirmed at the time the bet is placed. Matches played at neutral venues are marked as such on our coupons. The team listed on the left are still classed as the 'home' team for settlement purposes. A club team playing a European competition is classed as playing at home if the fixture is moved from the team's usual ground to another ground within their national boundaries, e.g. when Arsenal played their Champions League home ties at Wembley. If a match is no longer played at the venue advertised, bets will stand as long as the venue remains in the same country and is not switched to the opponent's ground. Should this occur, all bets will be void. Where 123vegaswin.com have not quoted prices on a match, any single bet on that match will be void and treated as a non-runner in multiple bets.
Abandoned Matches Should a match be abandoned prior to the completion of 90 minutes play, all markets will be void, unless a definitive result for that market has already been determined prior to abandonment, e.g. first goalscorer, Time of First Goal or Half Time result, or unless the governing body has declared an official result. Postponed/re-arranged matches If a match is postponed and rescheduled to take place within 48 hours of the original start time, the bet on the match will stand unless a refund is requested and agreed prior to kick off. If the match does not take place within 48 hours of the original start time the bet will be void.

If the PA amends their decision after this period, all bets will stand on their original result. If the result is not immediately available from the PA, the result published by the official governing body immediately the match/event is finished will be used for settling purposes. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes.
Goalscorer bets All goalscorer bets are offered on selected major games as advertised. Bets are settled on the player to score in the match within 90 minutes.
First goalscorer - Stakes are refunded on any player who takes no part in the match or who comes on as substitute after the first goal has been scored. Own goals do not count for first goalscorer purposes and are ignored for settlement purposes. On some matches the first goalscorer betting may be limited to one specific team.
Last goalscorer - All players taking part at any point of the match are deemed to have played for the purposes of Last goalscorer bets, irrespective of whether they were on the pitch at the time the last goal is scored. Own goals do not count.
Score at any time/Score a hat-trick - All players taking part at any point of the match are deemed to have played for settling purposes. Own goals do not count.
If the only goal scored within 90 minutes is an own goal, then 'no goalscorer' will be deemed to have been the outcome.
If a match is abandoned before the first goal is scored, all bets are void. This includes 'no goalscorer' bets as these are offered on the basis of 90 minutes being played in the game. If the match is abandoned after the first goal is scored, all bets will stand.

Goal Crazy Bets are settled on the total number of goals to be scored during 90 minutes play from the following 3 options:-
0 or 1 2 or 3 4 or more
This bet can be placed on individual matches or can be combined with other selections in an accumulator.
Related contingencies in one matchWhere we offer various betting opportunities from the same match (e.g. correct score, first player to score etc) these cannot be combined in accumulative bets where the outcome is related (except where special fixed prices are available for Scorecasts).Where an accumulative bet of this type has been accepted in error it will be settled by equally dividing the stake unit where the related outcomes clash: -EXAMPLE £10 Double:-Manchester United to win in 90 minutes playand Manchester United to win 2-1 is settled as 2 x £5 singles. Time of acceptance of football betsBets will be accepted up to the advertised kick off time. Bets may also be accepted up to 5 minutes after kick-off time as long as a goal has not been scored, or a player sent off.

Scorecasts (first player to score and correct score)To win you must successfully forecast both the player who will score the first goal in a selected match and also the correct score after 90 minutes play.Scorecasts are available on all matches where correct score and first player to score odds are quoted on this website.We accept up to trebles on Scorecasts from different matches. The Scorecast 0-0 and no goalscorer is settled as a correct score single. If your selected player joins the match after the first goal has been scored or does not take part in the game, Scorecast bets will revert to a single on the correct score.For first goalscorer purposes, own goals do not count, so in this circumstance, the Scorecast will be settled on the next goalscorer and correct score of the game. If the correct score is 1-0 and the goal is an own goal, Scorecast bets are settled as a correct score single.If a match is abandoned prior to the completion of 90 minutes and a goal has been scored, Scorecast bets are settled as first goalscorer singles. If no goal has been scored, all bets are void. Back to top
Goalcast Rules Bets are settled on the first two players to score, in either order within 90 minutes play. For example a bet placed on 'Beckham/Owen' is successful if: a) Beckham scores first and Owen scores second b) Owen scores first and Beckham scores second
One of the selections must score first for the bet to be successful.
If there is only one goal in the game, the bet is a loser, unless 'Less than two goals scored' has been selected.
If one of the selections in the bet scores the first goal, but the other does not play or comes on after the second goal has been scored, the bet will be void.
If one of the selections scores the only goal of the game and the other does not play, then the bet will be void.
Own goals do not count.
This bet cannot be combined with any other bets on the same match. Should this bet be accepted in error, it will be settled by equally dividing the stake unit where the related outcomes clash.
Back to top Total goals odd or even
Bets are settled on whether the total number of goals scored within 90 minutes, will be an odd or an even number. Extra-time and penalties do not count. If the total number of goals in a game is zero (i.e. the final score is 0 - 0) then "Even" is considered the winning selection.
This bet cannot be combined with any other bets on the same match. Should this bet be accepted in error, it will be settled by equally dividing the stake unit where the related outcomes clash.
Bookings Index
Bets are settled by adding the points per card issued within 90 minutes:
Yellow card is 10 points
Red card is 25 points
A maximum of 35 points can be awarded per player
The typical options at the start of play are: 20 points or under Between 21 and 40 points Over 40 points
These values may fluctuate as the match progresses. The market is for 90 minutes only, so any bookings that take place in extra time do not count for betting purposes. Cards cancelled by the referee during the course of the match, cards shown to non-active players and cards shown before kick off, during the half time interval, or after the final whistle do not count.
This bet cannot be combined with any other bets on the same match. Should this bet be accepted in error, it will be settled by equally dividing the stake unit where the related
Number of corners
Bets are settled on the total number of corners within 90 minutes. The typical starting values are: Under 10 Between 10 and 12 Over 12 These values may fluctuate as the match progresses. The market is for 90 minutes only, so any corners that take place in extra time do not count for betting purposes. Corners awarded but not taken will not count for settling purposes. This bet cannot be combined with any other bets on the same match. Should this bet be accepted in error, it will be settled by equally dividing the stake unit where the related outcomes clash.
Last team to score Bets are settled on the team to score the last goal in a match. Own Goals DO count for this market - e.g. Chelsea are playing Spurs and the last goal is an own goal by a Chelsea player. Spurs are awarded the goal, so Spurs would be the winner in the 'Last team to score' market. Normal 90 minutes betting rules apply.
Time of first goal
For settlement purposes the 1st minute of the game is from 1 second to 59 seconds. The 2nd minute is from 1 minute to 1 minute 59 seconds and so on. For example, if a bet is placed on the first goal to be scored between 1 and 10 minutes and a goal is scored at 10 minutes 49 seconds, the bet is a loser as this falls within the 11 to 20 minutes time frame. If the match is abandoned after the first goal has been scored then all bets will stand. If no goal has been scored all bets will be void.
Strike Bets are settled on which team scores first and which team wins at the end of the match from 5 possible outcomes. For example, Chelsea versus Spurs would appear as:
Chelsea to score first and win
Spurs to score first and win Chelsea to score first and not win Spurs to score first and not win Game to be goal less
Own goals count for the team credited with the goal. Normal 90 minutes betting rules apply.
Double chance
Bets are settled on the following possible outcomes in a specified football match - e.g. Celtic versus Rangers would appear as:
Home/Draw - Celtic to win/Match to end in a draw Away/Draw - Rangers to win/Match to end in a draw Home/Away - Celtic to win/Rangers to win
Normal 90 minutes betting rules apply.
Penalty shoot outs
The in-play markets "Shootout winner", "Outcome of Next Penalty", "Sudden death?" and "Total penalties converted" apply only to the result of a penalty shootout. Penalties scored in normal time and/or extra time will not count for the purposes of this market. A shootout is deemed to have gone to sudden death if both sides have taken 5 penalties each and the score remains level. Sudden death rounds of one kick each are then taken until one team scores and the other team does not.
In the event that a match does not go to a penalty shootout, all bets on these four in-play markets will be void.
To receive first card
The place part of each-way bets will be settled at one quarter the odds on the first, second or third cards only. Players who do not receive a card until after three cards have been given, will be treated as losing selections.
If less than three cards are given, then settlement will be based on the actual cards given. Where no cards are given, all each-way bets will be treated as losing selections.
Where a player receives the first card, both the win and place part of the bet are successful and will be settled at the appropriate win and place odds. If the same player receives the second or third card, no additional winnings will be paid.
Where a player receives the second or third card, the place part of the bet is successful. If the same player receives the second and third cards, no additional winnings will be paid for the third card.
Where the selection does not take part or comes on after the first card is received, both the win and place part of the bet will be void.
Each-way bets on no card are not accepted and if taken in error will be settled 'all up to win', i.e. the total stake will be invested as a win only bet.
Place only bets are not accepted and, if taken in error, will be settled as each-way with the stake divided.
Extra time does not count.
In any other instance not covered by these special rules, 123vegaswin.com Rules will apply.
Goal Line
Bets are settled on whether there will be more or less total goals scored in a particular match than the number stated. The line is either a single line (e.g. 2.5) or split line (e.g. 2 / 2.5) Bets can be placed either Over or Under the goal-line. If the total number of goals equals the goal-line, stakes are refunded. Normal 90 minutes match betting rules apply.
Season match betting Season match bets are settled on which of two teams will place highest in the league at the end of the season. If teams finish level on points then the tie breaker used by the league (e.g. goal difference or head-to-head records) will decide the winner.
Handicap betting Handicap bets are settled on the basis that one of the teams is given a goal(s) start. Bets are settled by adding (or subtracting) the goal start to the 90 minutes result.
Half-time betting Half-time betting is available on certain matches. Bets are settled on the result of the match at half-time (i.e. at the end of 45 minutes, including injury time). Bets will be void if the match is abandoned prior to half-time. However if the match is abandoned during half-time or during the second half, all bets will stand. Singles and upwards are available.
Asian Line betting
Asian Line bets are placed on either the favoured team to overcome a handicap (-goals) or on the opposing team receiving a handicap on top of their actual score (+goals). This betting market is made up of the Handicap Line and the Money Line.
The Handicap Line The Handicap Line is the terms of the bet - framed around the relative strengths of the two competing sides - always expressed in terms of goal superiority.
For two equally matched teams, i.e. joint favourites to win, the line will be described as 'level'. To win on the basis of this handicap the team that scores the most goals must be selected. If the match is a draw, the stakes are returned.
For unequal contests, the superior team will be given a handicap (goals). In Asian betting, goal handicaps are known as 'balls'.
There are two types of Asian Handicap Line:
Simple Handicap (sometimes called Single Handicap) Bets placed on Simple (whole unit) Handicap Lines (e.g. 0,1,2 ball), can either win on the stated return, lose, or have their stake returned should the result be a draw on the basis of the handicap.
Bets placed on Simple (non-whole unit) Handicap Lines (e.g. 0.5,1.5,2.5 ball) can only win or lose as a draw will not occur.
For example: Manchester United are 1.5 ball favourites to beat Southampton. A bet placed on Manchester United where they win by more than 2 goals has won. If Southampton win, draw or lose by one goal, the bet has lost.
Split Handicap (sometimes called Double or Twin Handicap) A bet on a Split Handicap Line is split into two parts - one part of the bet is on a whole unit line and one part on a non-whole unit line. If the Handicap line was 1 and 1.5 ball, half the bet would be struck at 1 and the other half at 1.5.
For example: Match - Germany versus Denmark Germany is the favourite and the Split Handicap Line is -1 -1.5. A bet placed on Germany is actually half on Germany at -1 and half on Germany at -1.5. Result - The Germans win 2-1 In this scenario half the bet is lost at 1.5 and half the bet is drawn at 1. As a result half the stake refunded (as Germany won the match with a goal difference of 1 and half the bet was on the Handicap of 1).
If the bet has been on Denmark at +1 and +1.5, half of the bet would have won (as by adding 1.5 to the Denmark score, they beat Germany), and the other half of the bet is a draw (the +1 element.) The returns would therefore be 50% of the stake at the specified odds and 50% of the stake refunded.
The Money Line The Money Line is the payout offered on each team for the given handicap line - to a unit stake of one.
First Half Asian Handicap Betting All the Asian Handicap betting rules apply, but bets are settled on the First Half result, up to Half Time (i.e. 45 minutes, plus any injury time) only.
Time of next home/away goal In games played at a neutral venue, the home side will be deemed to be the first named one. For example, if an event is called 'Holland vs Spain', then Holland would be the 'home' team as they are named first and Spain would be the 'away' team.
Goalscorer match bets When we have a match bet for two players in the same game, both players must start the match for bets to stand. If either players fails to start, all bets are void.
No. of goals after the 80th minute Only goals scored after the 80th minute count - i.e. goals scored after 79 minutes and 59 seconds and recorded as being between the 81st and 90th minute. Any goals scored before this time - e.g. 79 minutes and 30 seconds - will not count.
Highest scoring team Bet on which team will score the most goals on a given matchday. In the event of a tie, the team who scores earliest in their match will be deemed the winner unless the price for a tie is quoted.
For example - if Chelsea and Manchester United both score four goals, Chelsea's first goal is in the 20th minute of their game and Manchester United's is in the 25th, then Chelsea would be deemed the winner.
Only the named teams count for betting purposes. If two or more of the games are postponed, then all bets are void.
Highest scoring game Bet on which game will produce the most goals on a given matchday. In the event of a tie, the game that produces the earliest goal will be deemed the winner unless the price for a tie is quoted.
For example - the Chelsea vs Arsenal and Manchester United vs Liverpool matches both produce six goals. If the first goal in Chelsea vs Arsenal is scored in the 20th minute and the first goal in the Manchester United vs Liverpool match is scored in the 25th minute, then Chelsea vs Arsenal would be deemed the winner.
Only the named games count for betting purposes. If two or more of the games are postponed, then all bets are void.
What will happen to a player first? Bet on what will happen first to a nominated player during the course of a game, e.g. substituted, sent off etc.
'Set up a goal' or 'Goal assist' is defined as the last player from the scoring team to touch the ball before the goalscorer. It must be from open play - corners and free-kicks do not count. Players brought down for penalties are not credited with an assist. Own goals cannot be assisted - e.g. if a player crosses the ball in and it is headed in by an opponent, no assist is credited.
If a player does not start the game, then bets are void.
Each-Way first goalscorer
All each-way first goalscorer bets will be settled at one third of the odds on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth goals only. Bets are settled on a player to score within 90 minutes, extra time does not count.
If less than five goals are scored then settlement will be based on the actual goals scored. Where no goals are scored all each-way bets will be losers. When a player scores the first goal, both the win and place part are successful and the bet will be settled at the full win odds and third the odds for a place.
If the same player subsequently scores the second, third, fourth and fifth goals no additional winnings will be paid.
When a player scores the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th goal the place part of the bet is successful. If the same player scores the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th goals, no additional winnings will be paid.
Where a selection does not take part, or comes on after the first goal is scored both the win and place parts will be void. Own goals will be ignored for settlement purposes.
Each-Way bets on players that are substituted or sent off before the first goal is scored are losers.
Player vs player match bets
For player vs player bets (e.g. which player will be booked first, or which player will score more goals) both players must start the match for bets to stand.
Season handicap betting
Season Handicap bets are settled by adding (or subtracting) the points start to the final points total of all teams in the division.
Trialists
Trialists do not count for first (or last) player to score bets.
How many times will the woodwork be hit?
For the settlement of this bet we will count every instance in which the ball hits the woodwork - i.e. the posts or crossbar - during active play. If the ball hits the woodwork after the referee has stopped play it will not count. Instances where the ball hits the woodwork twice or more in succession will count separately. For Premier League games, results will be provided by OPTA.Extra time and penalty shoot-outs do not count for the purposes of this bet.
Goal Time Quatro
All bets on this market are void if the games ends scorelessThe selection "27 minutes and under" covers the period from the start of the game to 27 minutes, 59 seconds
Extra Time betting
Extra time is defined as any scheduled period of play between the end of normal time (i.e. 90 minutes play plus any time added on for stoppages) and the end of the game. 'Extra time does not include penalty shoot outs. All extra time betting markets, such as 'correct score', or 'time of first goal', will start from the beginning of extra time and not include normal time. For example, if the game finishes 2-2 at the end of normal time and there are no goals scored in extra time, the 'extra time correct score' market will be settled as '0-0'.
Timing of corners and penalty kicks
For settlement purposes, the timing of any corners and penalty kicks will be based upon the time the kick was taken and not the time at which it was awarded.
Number of offsides

To win both halves
The 90 minute match is treated as two separate 45 minute 'mini-matches' and therefore your selection must score more goals than the other team in each of the two halves. For example, if your selection scores in the first half of a match and the match finishes 1-0, although the first half was won 1-0 , the score in the second 45 minutes was effectively 0-0 and therefore a draw. If this occurs, only the first half is considered to have been 'won' and therefore bets would be losers.
League top goal scorer
Bets placed on a player to be the top scorer in a given league are based on regular season games only. Any goals scored in subsequent play-off games do not count for betting purposes.
Mythical Matches
In our 'mythical match' markets, customers are betting on which of two selected teams will score more goals in their respective games that weekend. For example - the 'mythical match' Southend vs Colchester. Southend win their weekend game 3-0, whilst Colchester win their game 1-0. As Southend have scored the most goals, they are the winning selection. If both teams score the same number of goals, then the 'draw' option is the winner.
How will the first goal be scored?
In the 'How will the first goal be scored' markets, customers are betting on whether the first goal in a game will be scored - left foot foot, right foot, head or any other part of the body.Own goals do not count for this market.If the goal is credited to a player but deflects off another player before going in to the goal, that deflection is not taken in to account. For example, if a player hits the ball with his left foot but the ball deflects off a defender's knee in to the goal, 'left foot' remains the winning selection.
First player to be substituted
If two or more players are substituted at the same time, the first to leave the field of play is settled as the winner. If two or more players are substituted at half-time, dead heat rules will apply.
Team to score first and last
If the games ends in a goal-less draw, all bets on this market are void. Extra time does not count for the purposes of this market.
Total league goals (under/over)
In the bet, customers are asked to predict whether the total number of goals scored in that league on a particular date will be over or under a certain number. Only games played on the named date will count. In the event of a postponed match, all bets will be void and a revised market will be created.
1st Half Result/2nd Half Result
This market will be offered for various major leagues, such as the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A. In the bet, customers are asked to predict the result for each separate half in one 90-minute game. For example if Lincoln play Dagenham and lead 1-0 at half time and the game then finishes 1-0 after 90 mins, the result will be settled as Lincoln winning the first half and the draw as the result in the second half.
