are all bets void if the first set is not completed?
do they only stand if the first set or second set is finished ?
and is it the same rules for men's and women's ?
separate rules for slams ?
Thank you.

If you are talking about match betting on Befair, bets are void if the first set isn't completed and bets stand as long as the first set has been completed. Same rules for mens and womens, no different rules for slams, afaik.
Not all bookmakers have the same rules. Laddies, is one ball. Some bookmakers have the one set rule and others state that the match needs to be completed, otherwise void. |

all set bettings on match void, even if the first set is completed and you've a bet that already would have been won/lost (2-0 for the player who lost 1st set), only bets on set 1 markets will be paid in that case

FWIW, here are the rules that I believe would be the fairest, 2 of which are different to Betfair's existing:
Match Odds - all bets void unless match completed Set Betting - all bets settled on completed selections, voided on non-completed selections (2-0 would be settled if player retired at 0-1 but voided if player retired at 1-0) Individual Sets - all bets voided unless individual set completed |

there is a very good reason why all bets are void on set betting, but i can never remember the proof. it's been posted on here many times, each time i forget to copy and keep it. it actually works in the backer's favour but against the layers, so don't complain (unless you're a layer)
maybe one of the others can remember it and post it. |

there's no reason why to prefer completed match rule over one ball rule, in the end we have to live with and adapt to existing rules.
