How do the match bets work? Has Chambers 10.05 beaten Gemili's 10.06? Or is a d/h as they both finished at the semi final stage?

Gemili third in a semi, Chambers 4th. Third is a better result than 4th.

Match bets
Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. For example, for match bets on Golf markets the rules are set out in the Specific Sports Rules. However, if not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules or the Market Information then the following shall apply.
'Match Bets' for one-off events are determined by the competitor or team with the best score, time or finishing position in the event. If none of the competitors or teams involved in the match bet complete the event or register a score, time or finishing position then bets are void unless specified otherwise in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. Any competitor or team not completing an event or registering a score, time or finishing position having taken part in the match bet event will be settled as a loser providing at least one other team or competitor completes that event or registers a score, time or finishing position.
'Match Bets' for progress in a competition or event with multiple heats or rounds are determined by the competitor or team which qualifies to the furthest round (whether it takes part in the further round or not) or with the best score, time or finishing position in the final or same heat of that competition or event. If the relevant competitors or teams fail to qualify in the same round of the competition but in different heats then dead-heat rules will apply, irrespective of the finishing positions in their respective heats. Markets will be part-settled after the end of each round and any subsequent disqualifications, penalties or amendments to results or qualifications will not have any effect on the market. Where one or more of the competitors or teams are disqualified, for the purposes of settlement, the disqualified competitor or team will be deemed to have progressed further in the competition or event than all those eliminated from the competition or event prior to the disqualification, and will be deemed to have finished last (or joint last if there is more than one disqualification) of those still competing in the competition or event. Disqualification will be considered to have taken place at the time of the competitor's or team's removal from the competition or event by the relevant governing body, rather than at the time of the event which caused disqualification.
If one of the competitors or teams does not take any part in the event, then all relevant match bets will be void.
If an event or tournament is abandoned or reduced in duration such that any competitor or team fails to complete the match bet, event or tournament for any reason other than withdrawal or disqualification then all bets will be void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined.


Based on the above rules it appears to be a dead heat barring any dqs leading to one of them gaining a place in the final - imo. I have bet accordingly.

Thanks JT, d/h then?  :(

Yes, in my opinion.
Report Charlton2005 August 5, 2012 8:31 PM BST
Agreed. At least they have the rule. They just can't figure it out at the moment. Thx again.

Win Only Market



MARKET INFORMATION

For further information please see Rules & Regs.

Who will have the best result in the named event?

Unmatched bets will be cancelled at the start of the first event and this market will be turned in-play.Thereafter, unmatched bets will not be cancelled at any time. If a listed athlete/team fails to start the event, all bets will be void. Any other non-runners will not affect the market. Dead Heat rules apply.

Customers should be aware that:

Transmissions described as “live” by some broadcasters may actually be delayed.

The extent of any such delay may vary, depending on the set-up through which they are receiving pictures or data


The above are the specific market rules. The rules I posted earlier are the general rules. Based on the two sets of rules and the fact the Athletics rules do not conflict with the general match bets rules I believe it will be settled as a dead heat. Of course it's possible I've missed something but I don't believe so. I have bet accordingly and I am content with my current level of exposure in the market.

People are basically now betting on what they think the rules are.

Thanks again JT

I assume you osted that after making yourself some cash  :)

well done  :)
Report jt45 August 5, 2012 9:09 PM BST
Indeed. I should probably have been a little more aggressive in my betting but, whilst confident that my interpretation of the rules was correct, in situations like this it's unwise to be too reckless.

* Well done to you too.
