As you may have noticed, the forum was offline for a period. We identified a security incident to Sportsbook Review Forum and took the site offline as a containment step while we investigated.
We wanted to make sure the system and site were restored and secured before bringing things back online and you will see that we are requiring all forum users to reset their password as a precautionary step.

bets open on an event that has already happened...???
What is the usual protocol on this situation?
If I bet on a finished fight would I still get paid?

All bets cancelled and your account closed (balance refunded if you are lucky).
In my younger days I bet something similar, I was paid out on it, the bookie shortly after picked up on it and advised that the bet was to be voided and my balance reduced (worth $6k) but as it turned out my balance was never reduced. I waited about 2 months had a few small bets to keep the account ticking over and then proceeded to withdrew the lot no problems at all. I thereafter closed my account so they couldn't claw it back at a later date. Not proud of what I did but hey I've been scammed by plenty of books in reverse and the book in question was renowned for stiffing clients. If the opportunity arose now I don't think I'd bother as its not worth the drama and 9.9/10 times you'll get caught out anyway.

dont take any shots at your bookie,
If you're betting into a bad line or an event that has already begun you won't get paid anyway , so
it makes absolutely no sense to try to cheat on your book,
you dont want your book to cheat on you , do you?
