Official result is a Technical Draw which in regards to betting is grouped together with a draw on the method of victory market.
If people are been refunded there stakes on the fight they are been rather fortunate.
It really needs to be changed to a no contest which has happened in the past hasn't it
Even if it is they won't refund bets, they will go with the first announcement which is a TD.
I remember I backed a horse years ago @ 16/1 and it won, after a stewards inquiry it was demoted to 4th. The trainer & owners appealed and a few weeks later the stewards decision was overturned and the horse was awarded the race. Did I get paid out? Did I shite!
They refunded all bets as they thought it was fairest decision. Fcuk off
They cant just invent the rules if you backed the draw you should be paid, it the bbboc rules if a fight ends inside 4 rounds through accidental means etc, they should have factored it
into there prices, have a word with them

I imagine someone has had a couple of grand on one guy or the other and for that to be a losing bet is very wrong
Receipt is acknowledged of your e-mail of today’s date with regard to the above. The new Technical Decision Rule is as follows:-
Accidental Fouls
1. If an accidental foul causes an injury severe enough for the referee to stop the bout immediately, the bout will result in a TECHNICAL DRAW if stopped before four (4) completed rounds. Four (4) rounds are complete when the bell rings signifying the end of the fourth round.
If anyone is struggling for clarity, check the betting rules on the website. I had an issue with skyber for Hopkins v Dawson 1 and they were prepared to go on the appeal. Think its why they tightened their rules

It was defo for wba belt under wba rules, british wasnt on the line, Needs to be sorted as i had mates who had thousands on either fighter and they both lose, just a cop out only winner is bookies.
Think most bookies if not all have in there rules the result announced on the night is what they adhere to, some have a cavaet if its changed literally straightaway i.e. a misread by the announcer.

That's like saying Man Utd V Man City play and United beat them 2-0 but on the Premier League homepage it shows 3-0 so they'll pay out on the 3-0 as its on the official website.
The WBA don't even have a 'Technical Draw' within their rules so how can it be deemed to be one.
Complete bullshit if you ask me, if the shoe was on the other foot and the bookies had a huge liability on the draw they'd rule it a no contest guaranteed.

I think the wba supervisor was a bbboc official too. If so, no excuses.

Actually I've just phoned them and they said they are investigating this and it is likely that the bets will be refunded so let's wait and see. The women on the line knew instantly about the fight so obviously they've been inundated with calls!
Had a single on munroe outright plus round bets with Skybet I got my stake back. Sounds like most other bookies gave you fook all unless you had the draw.
My brother has just rang to say William Hill have just refunded the wedge he had on quigg. He was told he had no chance on the phone this morning but now there saying the fact other bookies are returning means they have to follow suit. Just hoping the Ladbrokes shop return my stake now.
