DirectBet- Another rule that you may want to look into is the 3 day rule on postponed games since this is not that uncommon. Games are settled that day for the regular season.
As mentioned previously, 3 days is the standard default rule across our Sportsbook and we do not plan to change it.
If however we receive confirmation earlier that the match will not be resumed \ replayed within 3 days we will void bets and issue refunds to our clients immediately.

Official Game Result
The result of the game is official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4.5 innings. If a game is called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or take the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called. Bets will be refunded if the home team ties the game and it is suspended. This is not the case for 1st half betting, where a game must go the FULL 5 innings to be considered valid.
Suspended Playoff Game
In the case of a suspended playoff game that will be resumed in a span of 96 hours after its suspension, all bets are valid and will be graded after the completion of the game. If the game is not completed with the 96 hours following the time of the suspention, then all bets are cancelled.

I looked into the golf rules with fiat books. All would have paid the player in full. The only reduction occurs in the tied players for 5th. I'm not sure why any of the bitcoin books are doing it differently but it's nice to see that DirectBet puts up rules so that no future problems occur.

And the split would be equivalent to a racetrack deadheat.
If you bet 1000 to win 1800 and you have a 2 way split you don't win 900. You take the total bet 2800 and chop that in half. Therefore you get a total payout of 1400 minus your 1000 wager so you profit 400.

if you bet a top 20 finish this week and had one of the guys that finished tied for 15th-23rd it gets really interesting. 9 people get paid for 6 spots. The formula (works for any tie scenario) is A/(x/y).
A= total bet (meaning if you bet 1000 to win/clear 1800, A would be 2800 the total ticket)
X= number of tied players (this case 9)
y= number of places to be paid at level of tied outcome (in this case 6 being that 15th on down were tied so 15,16,17,18,19,20 is a total of 6 places to be paid.)
So using this example you have 2800/(9/6) which breaks down to 2800/1.5 = 1866.67 is the total amount paid. So subtract the 1000 (original bet) and you make a profit of 866.67 in this case.
Hope this helps with some of the confusion on deadheat/tie rules

I bet on Tennis match Player retired after losing first set now I consider as loser or what happen please give some information about this bet
This is explained in more details on our Rules page, which you can find here :
http://www.directbet.eu/Rules.cshtml
"
If a player or pairing retires or is disqualified in any match, the player or pairing progressing to the next round (or winning the tournament in the case of a final) will be deemed the winner. However if less than one set has been completed at the time of the retirement or disqualification then all bets relating to that individual match will be void.

We looked into the dead heat rules of other books and it appears that our rule, while stated clearly, does semantically differ in a specific scenario.
The total reduction is the same but the distribution differs.
As an example, consider a bet on player X to finish the tournament in one of the top 5 places when two players tie for 5th place.
We treat it as 6 players finishing in top 5 spots instead of the expected 5 players and so payout is multiplied by 5/6 for all winners.
Other books reduce the payout only for the two players tied for 5th, but the reduction is much greater, in this example the payout is halved for the two players finishing 5th but remains unaffected for the other players.
It is important to note that both rules are fair and in the long run the expected payout to customers is the same in both. What's important is to follow rules consistently as they are stated.
That being said, in order to avoid confusion in the future we changed our rule to the more common one.
Starting today, the dead heat rule will apply to tied positions only.
All confirmed bets to date will be settled based on the old rule and going forward the new rule will apply to all new bets.
We've updated our Rules page accordingly : http://www.directbet.eu/Rules.cshtml

Place 1st 5/10/20 etc.
You're betting on: the selected player finishing in the Top 5, 10, 20 etc.
Top 10 and Top 20 markets will be available on all full field European and PGA events. The Outright each way terms at the start of the tournament will determine the places for place betting.
Dead heat rules apply. For instance in top 20 betting, a player ties for 20th with 5 other players, i.e. 6 players all tied 20th, a 1/6th reduction to winnings would apply. If 2 players tied for 10th in top 10 betting then a ½ reduction would occur

Generally I've sided with Directbet and think Peep's is being over the top and annoying but he's got a point here I think.
Now that you've realized this don't you think you should list them in your chart and with a realistic grade?

I was immature as far as clogging the thread......As far as keeping him off the guide I think that he should stay off for constant spamming and breaking thread rules for the past 4 months. I'm sure you have read his posts. Although this didn't affect my decision, DirectBet posted that I requested the information which was never done, hurting his credibility.

DirectBet- BetMoose makes a good point. If you continue to talk about things outside of the intended scope of this thread, I'll just take you off the rating guide.
Spam on Anonibet here right after the warning https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=448302.1360 .
If I were to rate DirectBet my personal rating would be "D". There were a dichotomy of thoughts. Either a bottom book or a good book. Players in this thread say great. Not having to deposit is a nice thing, but players are able to withdraw at will with deposit books. Nitrogen has instant deposits and withdrawals.
While his soccer offers are within industry standards, the American markets for live betting are the worst, fiat or bitcoin. Most of the pre-game odds in American markets are on the very high end but I can't say for sure if they are the worst including fiat.
The other point that bothers me is having bets in limbo. Although caused by the blockchain, the end result is that the player is making a wager that he may not want 20 minutes later.
They don't meet the longevity requirements of a "B" rating. Even without the time constraints, a two man shop open less than a year is very risky considering past events. All this considered they were given a "C" rating.

Ryan I think whatever is the generally accepted rule would be the fairest thing of all. I mean as peeps says is it really fair to equally deduct even if your guy finished in first? I can see it both ways. Peeps any site other than skybet have that rule? If Anonibet and nitrogen do it the same as directbet then directbet is right and peeps should drop it.
If Anonibet and Nitrogen do it the same way then I'll differ to them. August 12, 2014, 04:08:44 AM
edit- want to look at other books

I made this same bet but on Phil Mickelson to finish top 5. At first I thought the payout was wrong because I was thinking about it like a player in the tournament where a tie for 5th would split the pot between 5th and 6th. Then I was told the rule and looked it up on the site and it made total sense because there is no payout for 6th and each spot 1-5 is equal so all places involved in the win should be averaged to take the winnings. Directbet is absolutely right about this.
I was pointed out this rule by DirectBet and they offered my the difference in what I thought my payout should have been versus what I was paid out. I turned down the offer. It was clearly in the rules and even though I was unaware of that, I fully abide by the rules that were in place.
Even though I did not take them up on it, I found it amazing that DirectBet made the offer to give me a free bet for the difference.
It is this customer service that keeps my business with DirectBet.
you both are winners man.. you are just being honest to each other..
Direct bet is just standing up to its reputation, a really great Sportsbook, and you are also showing that you are really an honest bettor.

Yeah I've never seen directbet do anything dishonest. Maybe sometimes the lines aren't the best but live betting often has big vig lines. That was nice they offered the refund too.
