2019.1 In cricket Wagers the following provisions are valid:
(a) The winner of a cricket match, a cricket series, top bowler, top batsman, team top bowler, team top batsman in a certain competition or in a part of it; or any other cricket result, is determined in accordance with the rules established by the competition's Governing Body, unless otherwise stated.(b) If the competition or series is cancelled, all Wagers will be given odds of one (1.00).(c) Wagers received on totals in a County Championship or Test Match (e.g., sixes, boundaries, runs, etc.) are valid if at least one ball is bowled.(d) If there is a rain delay or any other delay which results in the number of overs being reduced from that scheduled when the Wager was placed, then all open Wagers on totals in a Twenty20 (T20) match will be given odds of one (1.00), as well as in the circumstances where the reduction is by three (3) or more overs and in other limited overs matches if the reduction is by or more overs.(e) For Wagers involving a specified number of overs:(1) If there is a rain delay or any other delay which results in the reduction of the stated number of overs, then all Wagers placed will be given odds of one (1.00).(2) In the instances where a Wager is offered for a single over and the full over is not completed, then all Wagers placed will be given odds of one (1.00) unless at the moment of suspension there is a winning outcome (an outcome or result that could not be changed even if the match was continued and completed).(f) For Wagers in which any player in the match is predicted to reach a specific target: (1) In the instance where a player withdraws due to injury and does not return to the match, then all Wagers placed will be given odds of one (1.00) unless at the moment of suspension there is a winning outcome (an outcome or result that could not be changed even if the match was continued and completed).(2) Subject to if a player withdraws due to injury and does not return to the match, then all Wagers placed will be given odds of one (1.00) unless at the moment of suspension there is a winning outcome (an outcome or result that could not be changed even if the match was continued and completed), for Wagers to remain valid the batsman must face at least one ball or be given out before the first ball is faced.2019.2 The Office may offer the following cricket 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 "Final Result of a Cricket Match" Wager, the Player predicts the final result of a match. The final result of a match used to settle Wagers is the result achieved at the conclusion of play, according to the announcement by the competition's Governing Body. If the competition's Governing Body at the conclusion of the match announces "No Result," all Wagers received on the final result will be given odds of one (1.00).(2) The possible outcome for a draw between the two teams can be offered for all types of matches, except in one-day matches. In the case of a draw, in all matches for which "Draw" is not offered as a possible outcome, all Wagers received on the final result will be given odds of one (1.00).(3) If the match (Test or 3- 5 days international) is suspended after the match has been started and one at least one ball has been bowled, all Wagers for final result will stand.(4) If a one-day match (20 overs) is suspended after at least five (5) overs have been bowled by each of the two teams, then all Wagers will stand, and the winning outcome is determined according to the Duckworth Lewis method. In all other circumstances, Wagers for the final result will be given odds of one (1.00).(5) If a one-day match (40 or 50 overs) is suspended after at least twenty (20) overs have been played by each of the two teams, then all Wagers will stand, and the winning outcome is determined according to the Duckworth Lewis method. In all other circumstances, Wagers for the final result will be given odds of one (1.00).(6) Winner Interval Wager-In a "Winner Interval" Wager, the Player predicts the result of a specified period of a match in overs (e.g., "Winner After 6 Overs" - which team will score most runs in their first 6 overs).(b) Total Over/Under-In a "Total Over/Under" Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of runs scored in a match will be greater or less than a limit of runs publicized. This Wager can be offered for a specific team, or for a specific range of the match (in number of overs), or any combination of team and range of the match in which case only the runs scored from this team and/or the specific range is taken into account. (1) In a "Total Runs" Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of runs scored in a match will be within a certain range. This Wager can be offered for a specific team, or for a specific range of the match (in number of overs), or any combination of team and range of the match in which case only the runs scored from this team and/or the specific range is taken into account.(c) Odd/Even-In an "Odd/Even" Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of runs scored in a match will be odd or even. This Wager can be offered for a specific team, or for a specific range of the match (in number of overs), or any combination of team and range of the match in which case only the runs scored from this team and/or the specific range is taken into account. In all circumstances, zero (0) is considered to be an even number.(d) 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 "Next Man Out" Wager, the Player predicts which cricket player will be the next man to be dismissed a match or series. Both players/athletes must be at the crease at the same time for Wagers to remain valid. In the event of neither player being dismissed or one of the players/athletes withdrawing through injury before a wicket has fallen, then all Wagers placed will be given odds of one (1.00).(2) In a "Fall of Next Wicket" Wager, the Player predicts whether the next wicket will fall before or after a specified number of runs have been scored. Wagers will be given odds of one (1.00), if the wicket stated does not fall unless a winning outcome has already been established. If a player withdraws due to injury, then all Wagers placed on that wicket are carried over onto the next partnership until a wicket falls. (3) In a "Method of Dismissal" Wager, the Player predicts how the next wicket will fall. If no wicket falls, Wagers will be given odds of one (1.00).2019.3 Winner of a Cricket Series (Futures)-In a "Winner of a Cricket Series" Wager, the Player predicts the outcome of a cricket series (team A to win, team B to win, neither team to win). The number of wins per team is the number of wins officially announced by the competition's Governing Body at the end of the series. Wagers received on a team, who for whatever reason, was disqualified or withdrawn from the series, are not winning Wagers unless otherwise stated. Wagers received for any team, who for whatever reason, did not participate in the series will be given odds of one (1.00). If the series is suspended before the scheduled number of matches is completed, then the team that is ahead at the time will be the winner. If no team is ahead at the time of suspension, the winning outcome is a draw.
