|
|
By:
no-one was quick enough to get on the tied match market. awesome finish, another good one-dayer
|
|
By:
One short would have been highly amusing.

What an unbelievable game of cricket. Had just about everything.

|
By:
Hate the Tie...when you're all green
|

By:
It;s not a stupid rule. It's much worse than that.
|
|
By:
Surely it was a wide anyway
|

By:
It was probably a wide if he didn't hit it, but was close so wouldn't necessarily have been given
|
|
By:
the reason betfair have this rule is coz the big players wanted it, stupid rule
|
|
By:
So the 30th over only had 5 balls...that would've made the difference in the result.
|
|
By:
Should be a 1/2 run handicap market - save this nonsense
|
|
By:
no reason not to have a dead heat.
|
|
By:
I agree, it is a darn stupid rule, but I somehow got all red in that match, so to see the most unlikly event of a 3 being scored off the last ball was good for me. I had all green on a tied match before and got nowt, it is a very very very silly rule.
|
|
By:
its bad luck for me huge green both side
|
|
By:
BF's rule is a lot fairer than that of the Bookmakers who don't quote the tie, but still settle as a dead heat.
|
|
By:
whats wrong wiv it being a dead heat?
|
|
By:
Just treat the tie as insurance, you can usually get 50-1 early in the game. No brainer imo. Should do it every match.
|
|
By:
Used to be. But the big players demanded a seperate tie market from what I hear, and it became that way due to that.
This result worked in my favour with a bookie bet paying out half, but still, 15 mil traded over 9 hours to be declared void? Just seems like it will piss a lot more people off than taking the tie market. Each to their own. Not like we don't know it is this way. We choose to not bet the tie, that is on us. |

Bookies offer dead heat settlement to ensure that they make money out of the game with their margins. BF have to have some concessions to the big players, otherwise there is FA liquidity and we are back to betting with regular bookmakers. Their rules are transparent and while it's unfortunate for some in cases like this, it is still fair.

never forget the world cup match between 1ndia/pakistan was 3k green both sides ended a tie???
|
|
By:
how does voiding bets on the tie help the big players anyway?????
|
|
By:
why not team a, team b, tie . on one market
|
|
By:
Everyone knows the rules and bleats when it's a tie. Lock in your green all ways with a tenner on the tie, it's not hard.
|
|
By:
i just want to know how it helps anyone voiding bets
|
|
By:
didnt 1 day matches be settled as team losing fewer wkts won if scores were level?
|
|
By:
only in the knock out stages of the world cup.
not in group matches or any other odi games |
|
By:
oh and the offical result would still I believe be a Tie in those instances anyway. similar to a football match decided on penalties.
|
|
By:
I have not read the entire thread on here... but why was the 30th over bowled by malinga consist of only 5 balls?????
