Common use of General Cricket Rules Clause in Contracts

General Cricket Rules. 1. In cases where no odds have been offered for a tie and the match/offer ends in a tie, bets would be settled according to the so-called "dead-heat" rule where the payout would be calculated after the odds are divided and multiplied by the stake, irrespective whether the net payout is lower than the Patron's stake. In competitions where other means are used to determine a winner after a tie (for example: 'Bowl out' or 'Super over') then offers will be settled based on the result after such prolongations are completed. The only exception to this rule is for "Match Odds" betting in Test/First Class/3, 4 or 5 day matches where in the event of a tie (where both teams have completed two innings each and have scored exactly the same number of runs) bets on "Match Odds" will be settled as void. 2. For "Total Runs Over X" (Over/Under & Odd/Even) betting, "extras" and "penalty runs" (as per match scorecards) are included for settlement purposes. Bets will be void if the over is not completed unless a result has already been determined or the over has reached its 'natural conclusion' (e.g., innings end/declaration). The market refers only to the listed over (e.g., "5th over" refers to over number 5, i.e., the over directly following over number 4). 3. For "Total Runs Delivery X" (Over/Under & Odd/Even) betting, "extras" (but not "penalty runs") as per match scorecard are included for settlement purposes. Deliveries are counted from the start of the over, and additional deliveries (resulting from 'extras') will be counted consecutively and separately (e.g., If delivery 1 is a wide, the next ball is considered delivery 2).
