Hello,


If I bet on a hand say, 10euro @ 2.00, and my hand wins but its a tie with all hands(lets say that there are 5 hearts on table so its every1s flush), how mch do I get back?

20euro, 20/4, or POT/4?

The Dead Heat Rule applies to bets on Exchange Hold'em when there is more than one winner - i.e. the result is a draw or tie.

In these cases, the odds received by the backer are divided by the number of winners and the bet settled based upon the new odds. For example:

Client A backs Hand 1 for £100 at odds of 4.0. Both Hand 1 & 3 win, Client A bet is now calculated as £100 at 2.0 odds and they receive £100 in winnings.

Note; as a result of the dead heat rule it is possible to receive less that your original stake during settlement of a game in which a dead heat occurs. For example if Client A had backed Hand 1 for £100 at odds of 1.2 and then both Hands 1 & 3 won, the total payout for this bet would be £100 X (1.2/2) = £60. A net loss of £40 even though their chosen hand is a winner.

Alternatively, this can be viewed as the full amount paid to the digital odds divided by the number of dead-heaters. In the above example this would be 300 paid to 4.0/3 making 400 payout and 100 net winnings.

When the Dead Heat Rule is applied, determining whether a particular bet is a net winner or a net loser depends on the number of winners involved in the dead heat and the odds at which the bet was matched.
