2013.1 For soccer Wagers, the result of regulation time is taken into account plus time added to the game in respective of possible delays. Extra time and penalties are not taken into account for soccer Wagers, unless stated in the program or in the Wager type's description.
2013.2 The Office may offer the following soccer Wagers:
(a) Money Line-A "Money Line " or straight up Wager is a bet on the outright winner of the game or event without any Point Spread odds.(1) In a 3way "Money Line" Wager, the Player predicts the final outcome of a game by correctly selecting home team to win, away team to win, or a tie at the end of the game (not taking into account any overtime played). An exception to the general provisions rules is when a game is suspended after the start of the 2nd half and the remaining game is not played within the next twenty- four (24) hours, then the result at the time of suspension is considered as the final result.(2) In a 3way "1st Half Winner" and 3way "2nd Half Winner" Wager(s), the Player predicts the result of the 1st half or 2nd half of a game by correctly selecting home team to win, away team to win or a tie at the end of the specified half.(3) In a "Winner Interval" Wager, the Player predicts the result of a specified period (home/tie/away) of a game (e.g., 1-15 minute(s) of the game).(4) In a "Winner of the Rest of the Match" Wager, the Player predicts the result of the game (home/tie/away) from the moment a Wager is placed until the end the game. This Wager can also be offered per half (1st half or 2nd half), or any other specified time period where the prediction will only involve these specific time periods.(5) In a "Half Time/Full Time" Wager, the Player predicts the combination of the result of the 1st half with the final result of a game.(6) In a "Home No Wager" Wager, the Player predicts the game's final result without factoring in a "home win." The Wager will be refunded if the home team wins. In cases where the final result of a game is the one that is not factored into the Wager, then all Wagers will be refunded. This Wager can be offered for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.(7) In a "Tie No Wager" Wager, the Player predicts the game's final result without factoring in a tie. The Wager will be refunded is the game's final result is a tie. In cases where the final result of a game is the one that is not factored into the Wager, then all Wagers will be refunded. This Wager can be offered for each half (1st or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.(8) In an "Away No Wager" Wager, the Player predicts the game's final result without factoring in an away win. The Wager will be refunded if the away team wins. In cases where the final result of a game is the one that is not factored into the Wager, then all Wagers will be refunded. This Wager can be offered for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.(b) Point Spread/Handicap-A Point Spread Wager is when a plus or minus Handicap (line) is assigned to either team and then it is added or subtracted to each final score to determine the winner. The Point Spread represents the margin of points in which the favored team must win by to "cover the spread."(1) In a "Final Result with Points Spread/Handicap" Wager, the Player predicts the final outcome of a game, taking into account a Point Spread/Handicap given to one of the two teams, correctly selecting home team to win, away team to win, or a tie at the end of the game (not taking into account any overtime played). The Point Spread/Handicap can be a whole number or not. This Point Spread/Handicap is taken into account when determining a winning prediction. If the Point Spread/Handicap is not a whole number, then a tie cannot be a resulting outcome. This Wager type can be offered for one half of a game (1st ha lf or 2nd half) or for a specified time period of the match in which case the prediction will only involve this specific time period.(2) "Asian Handicap" are types of Wagers used in soccer in which teams are Handicapped, so that the stronger team must win by more goals than the weaker team. Asian Handicap involves the Player predicting the result of a match after the Handicap or spread has been applied to the teams.(A) A head-start of one half or more goals will be given to one of the teams which will be added to the actual number of goals scored.(B) Whole goal Handicap is a Handicap of +/- one or more goals will be given to each of the teams which will be added to the actual number of goals scored. Wagers placed will be void if the match ends in a tie.(C) Half goal Handicap is a Handicap of +/- 0.5 (half of one) or more goals will be given to each of the teams which will be added to the actual number of goals scored. Wagers placed cannot end in a tie.(D) Split Handicap is a Handicap of +/- 0.25 (quarter of one) or more goals will be given to each of the teams. The Wager will be divided equally between two Wagers, with one half of the Wager placed on the whole Handicap +/- 0.0 (scratch) or more and the other half of the Wager placed on the half Handicap 0.5 (half of one) or more, which will be added or subtracted to the actual number of goals scored by each team. The split Handicap is always the half-way point between the whole Handicap and the half Handicap.(E) The split is shown as follows (Handicaps can go as high as the operator desires under similar logic): Handicap | Whole Goal Handicap | Half Goal Handicap |
+/- 0.25 | +/- 0.00 | +/- 0.50 |
+/- 0.75 | +/- 1.00 | +/- 0.50 |
+/- 1.25 | +/- 1.00 | +/- 1.50 |
EXAMPLE: Team A (+ 0.25) vs. Team B (-0.25)
If a Wager is placed on Team B and the game result is Team A 1-1 Team B:
50% of the Wager will be placed on the whole goal Handicap of 0.00. The Handicap result will be Team A 1-1 Team B. This half of the Wager is void.
50% of the Wager will be placed on the whole goal Handicap of - 0.50. The Handicap result will be Team A 1-1/2 Team B. This half of the Wager has lost.
If a Wager is placed on Team A and the game result is Team A 1-1 Team B:
50% of the Wager will be placed on the whole goal Handicap of 0.00. The Handicap result will be Team A 1-1 Team B. This half of the Wager is void.
50% of the Wager will be placed on the whole goal Handicap of + 0.50. The Handicap result will be Team A 11/2-1 Team B. This half of the Wager has won.
(c) In a "Total Over/Under Goals" Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of goals scored in a game will be greater or less than a limit of goals publicized. This Wager can be offered for an individual team (home and away) separately or for a specific half (1st half or 2nd half) or for a specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and interval in which case the prediction will only involve these specific time periods. (1) In an "Exact Number of Goals" Wager, the Player predicts the exact number of goals that will be scored in a game. This Wager can be offered for each team (home and away) separately, or for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number of goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.(2) In a "Total Goals Aggregated" Wager, the Player predicts the number of goals that will be scored in a game where their selected number of goals will be within a specified range. This Wager can be offered for each team (home and away) separately, or for each half (1st half or 2nd half), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number of goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.(d) In an "Odd/Even" Wager, the Player predicts whether the total goals scored in a game will be an odd or even number. This Wager can be offered for each team (home and away) separately or for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified period of the game. In all circumstances, zero (0) is considered to be an even number.(e) Proposition "Prop" Wagers-Proposition Wagers are wagers on a specific outcome during an event that does not relate to the final score. They may be offered as "Team Props," "Player Props" a nd "Special Props."(1) In "Scorer" Proposition Wagers the following rules apply: (A) If a Wager is placed on which player/athlete will score the 1st goal of a game and the selected player/athlete did not take part in the game or entered the game after the first goal was scored, the Wager is refunded.(B) If a Wager is placed on which player/athlete will score the last goal of the game and the selected player/athlete did not take part in the game or had been substituted before the last goal was scored, the Wager is refunded.(C) If a Wager is placed on which player/athlete will score any goal in the game and the player/athlete did not take part in the game, the Wager is refunded.(D) A Wagering line can include only one prediction for the Wager type "Any Goal Scorer."(E) If a goal scored is an "Own Goal" (a player/athlete scores on their own side of the playing area rather than the one defended by the opposing team), then this is not taken into account unless there are odds offered for "Own Goal."(F) The following "Scorer" Proposition Wager Types may be offered:(i) In a "1st Goal Scorer" Wager, the Player predicts which player/athlete will score the first goal of the game.(ii) In a "Last Goal Scorer" Wager, the Player predicts which player/athlete will score the last/final goal of the game.(iii) In an "Anytime Goal Scorer" Wager, the Player predicts which player/athlete will score at least one goal in the game.(2) The following "Corner" Proposition Wagers may be offered:(A) In a "Total Over/Under Corners" Wager, the Player predicts whether the total amount of corners awarded during a game is greater or less than a limit publicized or predicts whether there will there be a corner awarded in the form of "Yes/No." This Wager can be offered for one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the corners awarded for this specific time period of the game.(B) In an "Odd/Even Corners" Wager, the Player predicts whether the total number of corners awarded is an odd or even number. This Wager can be offered for one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the corners awarded for this specific time period of the game.

If the Handicap is not a whole number, then a tie cannot be a resulting outcome.(F) In a "Corner Handicap" Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will be awarded the most corners in a game, taking into account a Handicap for one of the two teams. This Wager can be offered for each half (1st half or 2nd half) separately, or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the number of corners awarded for this specific time period of the game.

This Wager can be offered for each half separately (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.

For Wager settling purposes, the time of the goal is considered the time that it was scored and not the time it was confirmed as a valid goal. For example, if goal is scored at 28:36 and after an original referee call that disallows it, a VAR (Virtual Assistant Referee) is used and the goal is then deemed valid at 30:45, the goal time will count at 28:36.(f) In a "Game Combo" Wager, the Player predicts any double combination of Final Result or double chance with Total Over/Under of a specified limit, or Both Teams to Score, or Sum of Goals, or any double combination of Total Over/Under of a specified limit and Both Teams to Score, or any double combination of Final Result and 1st /Next/Last Goal team to score by choosing the combination of the respective selections or any combination of Half-Time/Full-Time result and Total Over/Under of a specified limit. Any of the above combinations, or legs of the combination, can refer to a specific half (1st half or 2nd half) or for a specified time period of the game, in which case the prediction will only involve these specific time periods.D.C.
