A huge number of different sports events are held daily, on which betters bet. Basically, they all start and end at the scheduled time. However, for a number of reasons, a match may be canceled or interrupted, and most players are completely unaware of how the bet is calculated in such a situation. So, the Betting League bookmaker clearly spells out in the rules what will happen to the bet and how the player will act in this case.
Why can a match be interrupted or stopped?
There are different situations in sports, but basically the match is canceled for the following reasons:
- Weather. Heavy rain, snow, frost, and wind can make the match impossible.
- Technical problems. They are mainly associated with the lack of lighting.
- Withdrawing a team or a specific athlete from a tournament.
- Disqualification of one of the parties.
- Fans bullies on the podium, throw various objects on the field.
If the match is interrupted, what about the bet? Each situation is considered individually.
The match is completely canceled
Regardless of the reason for the cancellation of a sporting event, the bet is calculated with a coefficient of 1.00. Moreover, all bookmakers adhere to this principle. If the user sets an order, the funds are returned.
With the express and the system, the situation is somewhat different. Even if one of the matches is canceled, the coupon continues to play. If all other events eventually play, the Betting League betting company will pay, the canceled match will go with a coefficient of 1.00. Naturally, the total profit will decrease.
Match aborted
This happens very often, many events are suspended for a certain period of time. A logical question arises: "If the match is interrupted, what will happen next with the bet?" Each bookmaker considers a similar situation in its own way. You must carefully study the rules or ask a question to the support service of the bookmaker.
If you are based on the general rules of all bookmakers, you can highlight the following points:
- Stop time. Each bookmaker has a minimum period of time; if it is passed, the bet will be calculated. So, for example, in football this interval is 55 minutes.
- Played time, set, but the match is stopped. All bets made for the first half, period or set are settled. Total bets will either be refunded or the event will be played out soon.
- Event rescheduled. It all depends on when the game will be played. Some bookmakers set a time limit of 24 hours, others - 48 hours. If there is no official decision, then after the above time, the bet will be refunded at the bookmaker.
It should be noted that bookmakers make decisions on interrupted games individually. Sometimes the decision is extremely unexpected and not always pleasant for the player.
Match postponed
What will happen to the bet if, for any reason, the match did not take place on the established day, but was postponed to another time? In such a situation, the decision depends on two points - time and place.
The game will take place within 48 hours - the bet will be valid. With the exception of those bookmakers who have a 24-hour time limit in the rules. Although even they can consider the event individually and leave the bet in force.
If the sporting event will be held much later (after a week, a month), then the bet will be refunded. If express - the game is removed from the coupon.
Much more difficult with the venue of the game. If the game is conducted on a neutral field, the better may receive a refund or the bet may remain valid. If the hosts have to play in a foreign field, a refund will follow.
How are tennis rates calculated?
If the match is interrupted, what happens with the bet in tennis, many are interested, as this is a very popular sport. In this case, the situation is somewhat different and depends on the following points:
- Player Injury. If he announced it in advance, the game is canceled, and the better gets his money back. However, if he went to court, was injured and refuses to finish the meeting, he is credited with defeat.
- Stopping the game due to weather or technical problems. The bet will be valid while the tournament continues. The game will be played out in any case, unless one of the athletes is injured or withdraws from the tournament for personal reasons.
- Court Coverage. The match is played out exclusively on the coverage that appears on the tournament schedule. Moreover, the game can be played out in the hall, most importantly - on the right surface.
Finally
Before betting, be sure to study all the rules, highlight the key points for yourself. Compare the rules of different bookmakers, as at certain points the difference can be significant. So if the match is interrupted, what will happen to the bet? How will it be paid? Most often, the game is played out within 48 hours, then the full calculation takes place. Only in isolated situations the event is completely canceled or postponed to a later date, then there is a refund.
