The New York State Athletic Commission has suspended Ryan Garcia due to positive PED test results. On top of the suspension, Garcia also forfeited his purse worth $1.2 million, fined for $10,000, and his victory over Devin Haney overturned to no-contest.[1]
Normally, if I'm not mistaken, settled bets are settled bets. Betting sites usually won't overturn results. Lucky for those who bet on Garcia, the underdog in that match, for winning. But I'd like to ask those who bet on Haney, especially those who bet big. Now that the official decision is out, would anyone of you demand that your bets be returned since the fight is now officially declared as a no-contest?
I'm not sure how betting sites would respond if a bettor makes a ticket asking for the bet amount to be returned. They might have different decisions. I remember sending a ticket for a bet to be overturned. It was successful. I can't anymore remember the details but it had something to do with a DOTA II match. There was a disconnection or some technical glitch. The betting site decided that it was a draw and gave us back our money, but the organizing team later on declared one team as the winner. That was the team I placed a bet on.
It would also be interesting if there's a representative of a betting site who could chime in.
