What happens if Basketball team forfeits?


GT

Recommended Posts

I tried to search but I can't find anywhere what happens when a basketball team forfeit during a match? What happens to the draw no bet bet? For example today, Rapla vs Vyautaus, Vyataus forfeited with 2 minutes left and score 65-65 and Rapla "won" the game 20-0.

According to the user agreement. 

They will look for the official call and this cal has to be done within the 36h. So very shortly, if you have betted on the away team then you probably lost beceause officialy they have given the win for home wIth a score of 20-0. 

If you have betted above or under then the odd comes or on the 4th quarter. The odds will be brought down to 1.00.

Good question, @GT

Unfortunately your bet has been settled as lost. Rule B.5.5 applies in this case:

In case of an abandoned event, all bet offers that have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, will be settled according to the decided outcome (technical loss). All remaining bet offers will only be settled if an official result is announced within 36 hours and will otherwise be considered void (20-0).

You can watch the last few minutes of the match here, where coach Seskus decided to walk away from the court.

@Tplski, I litterally just got an update from the sportsbook team confirming that the bet has been settled according to rule B.5.5.

You're right about the fact that we usually need to wait 36 hours before settling a bet like this but since the official site (BBL) already stated that the match ended 20-0, there's no reason to wait 36 hours.

If we haven't had an official result of the match within 36 hours, the bet would've been voided.

@Tplski, I know the feeling - it's so frustrating to lose a bet in a scenario like this. That being said, I would probably have been even more frustrated if I had placed a bet on Rapla to win and it ended up being voided because we didn't recognize the official result stated within 36 hours (as the rule says).

It's certainly not easy to satisfy all players in a case like this as you have good arguments on both sides. We have to either void all bets or settle them as won/lost - unfortunately we can't just void the bets on Vytautas and settle the bets on Rapla as won at the same time even if that would've made everyone happy :)
