2014.1 In the instance where a tennis match is cancelled, or postponed, or suspended and is not completed within the competition's time frame it was scheduled for, then all Wagers that involve this match are refunded. An exception to this rule is for Wagers whose results have already been decided and cannot change even if the match was played on. In the event where less sets are played than were originally scheduled, then all Wagers that include this match will be refunded.
2014.2 The Office my offer the following tennis Wager types:
(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 "Match Winner" Wager, the Player predicts the final result of a tennis match by correctly selecting tennis player (or team) A to win or tennis player (or team) B to win.(2) In a "Set Winner" Wager, the Player predicts the final result of a specific set of a tennis match (1st set 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.) by correctly selecting tennis player (or team) A to win or tennis player (or team) B to win.(3) In a "To Win a Set" Wager, the Player predicts whether a tennis player (player A or player B) will win at least one set in a match.(4) In a "1st /2nd Service Game" Wager, the Player predicts which tennis player will serve in the first or the second game in combination with the winner of this game (e.g., in the 1st Game tennis player A to Serve and tennis player B to Win the game).(5) In a "1 st Next Game" Wager, the Player predicts which tennis player (player A or player B) will win the first (1st) game or every subsequent (Next) game in a tennis match. This Wager can be offered for a specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), or for a specified period of the match, in which case the prediction involves only the games in that segment of the match.(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 "Winner Most Games with a Spread" Wager, the Player predicts which tennis player (player A or player B) will win the most games in a match, taking into account a spread in games given to one of the two (2) players/athletes. The spread can be a whole number or not. This spread is taken into account when determining a winning prediction. If the spread is not a whole number, then a tie cannot be a resulting outcome. This Wager can be offered per specified set (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), in which case the prediction involves only the games that will be played in that segment of the match.(2) In a "Set Spread" Wager, the Player predicts which tennis player (player A or player B) will win the most sets in a match taking into account a spread in sets given to one of the two (2) Players. The spread can be a whole number or not. This spread is taken into account when determining a winning prediction. If the spread is not a whole number, then a tie cannot be a resulting outcome.(c) Total Over/Under Games-In a "Total Over/Under Games" Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of games that will be played in a match is greater or less than a specific range as publicized by the Office. This Wager can be offered for a specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), in which case the prediction involves only the games that will be played in that segment of the match. (1) In a "Total Over/Under Per Player" wager, the Player predicts if the total number of games that a tennis player will win in a match is greater or less than a specific range as publicized by the Office. This Wager can be offered for a specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), in which case the prediction involves only the games that the tennis player wins in that segment of the match.(2) In a "Total Games" Wager, the Player predicts the total number of games that will be played where the selection made will be within a specific range of games as publicized by the Office. This Wager can be offered for a specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), in which case the prediction involves only the games that will be played in that segment of the match.(3) In a "Total Tie Breaks" Wager, the Player predicts the total number of tie breaks that will be played in a match, either predicting from a specified range or in the form of a "Yes/No" proposition. This Wager can be offered for a specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), in which case the prediction involves only the games that will be played in that segment of the match. In the event where a match or a set is suspended with a score of 6- 6 (when the set will be decided by a tie breaker), for Wager settlement purposes a tie break is assumed to have been played. In the event where a match is suspended during the last set where based on tournament rules, a tie breaker is not played (e.g., the last set of a men's single finals), for Wager settlement purposes a tie break is assumed not to have been played.(d) Odd/Even-In an "Odd/Even" Wager, the Player predicts whether the total number of games that will be played is an odd or even number. This Wager can be offered for each tennis player (player A or player B) separately, or for a specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), or any combination of player and set in which case the prediction involves only the games that will be played in that segment of the match.(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" and "Special Props." (1) In a "Correct Score" Wager, the Player predicts the correct score in sets of a tennis match.(2) In a "Set Correct Score" Wager, the Player predicts the exact score in games of a specific set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.) of a tennis match. This Wager may be offered for parts of a set (e.g., first 4 games, first 6 games, etc.), in which case only the score after those games will count. This Wager could also be offered as a "Yes/No" or single "Yes" option for one or more of its selections (e.g., "Any Set to End 6-0" or "player A to Win 6-0 or 6-1 or 6-2," etc.).(3) In a "Race To" Wager, the Player predicts which tennis player (player A or player B) will be t he first to win a predefined number of games (e.g., "Race to 3 Games"- which tennis player will first win 3 games). This Wager can be offered per specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), in which case the prediction involves only the games that will be played in that segment of the match.(4) In a "1st /Next Game Correct Score" Wager, the Player predicts the correct score of the first (1st) game or every subsequent (Next) game in a match. This Wager type may be offered with a "Yes/No" option, or "Per Player" option, or single "Yes" option for specific Correct Scores (e.g., "Which Player Will Win Game 4 of 1st Set After Deuce" or "Will Any Player Win Game 4 of 1st Set After Deuce").(5) In a "Point Winner" Wager, the Player predicts which tennis player (player A or player B) will win a specific number point or the next point in a match. This Wager can be offered per game in which case the prediction involves only the points that will be won in that specific game.D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 30, r. 30-2014
