If odds on the draw aren't offered, then it's customary for drawn bets to be refunded.

 

[aditya]

There are odds for draw at $2.This same thing i said last season that if the match is draw money shl be refunded but no one answered.

Till now i am calculating on the same basis that if the match is draw then u lose.So there is no problem with the law.

But as i think majority of us have lost money the betting will become less as all the big guns have lost.So 2 keep interest i think everyone shl be given $10000.So all those who have lost it can start with $10000 and those who have money can increase their amount by $10000.

I am not telling this as i lost my whole money but a majority of us have lost who bet regularly.So by us out in the 2nd round itself makes the betting quite less.

If everyone agrees 2 this then only we shall increase everyones amount by $10000 otherwise those who have lost their whole amount have to just sit out throughout the season.

 

[Simon]

i think only people who go bankrupt should ge given more money, and they should get a 10k load, but at the end of the season 20k should be taken off their total, but if they are less than 20k, they lose it all.

 

[Simon]

aditya did say odds for a draw were $2, just look in the 2nd weeks betting thread

 

[Umpire Money]

last season no one did that to me when i ran out of money

double standards

just because you bet regularly, you bet wrong your out.

None of this "ooh i bet good regularly but now im out lets make more rules so we can win"

No i dont think this should be

 

[Coach_Pearson]

I agree with you umpire.

 

[nibbs]

Did I get a loan last season when I went broke? NO. So I think don't its fair to refund all the fools who stupidly gambled away their funds. I'm sorry, but when I wanted to bet last season when I lost all my money, my request was denied, I wasn't even allowed a small loan.

Now, two people who have disagreed and as aditya said 'If everyone agrees 2 this' (don't try and edit that message) then it would appear all the bankrupt people are screwed. Lets hope aditya sticks to his word, with the everyone comment.

Nibblet,

 

[lord_of_darkness]

I didnt bet and am ranked 3rd how eventful !

yea marc , aditya had stated that draws would be $2 , hardluck for that loss of your money !!

 

[marc71178]

No, Aditya was asked the odds of a draw on ONE game and said $2.

I don't think we can just add $10k in - but odds of $2 for a draw are ridiculously low.

Personally I feel we should adopt the method used by all bookmakers of any repute and draw is a refunded bet.

Besides that, I don't remember seeing odds of $2 quoted anywhere except for just one game (the game odds were requested for) and a blanket odds of $2 is crazy (imagine you get 2 sides with 11 batsmen each - that's likely to be a draw, whereas 2 strong bowling sides is very unlikely to be, so how do they justify the same odds?)

Shut up. Broncoman asked what the odds for a draw were, and the reply stated $2. So stop being a bad sport and accept you have been eliminated.

 

[marc71178]

No, he asked for the odds of a draw on one particular game - he was given those odds - I have already shown how blanket odds do not work.

 

[Paid The Umpire]

-----------------------
Withdrawn, due to public outcry.

 

[Cloete]

I think it would be complete double standards if 10k was to be given out. it's not fair!!! they chose to bet it all.... and tehy knew the consequences. i don't care wat so called "big guns" are out. it's their fault for betting it all!:!( :!( :!(
