    "Bowl offs" are the method that was previously used in the event of tied T20 matches, bowlers from each side bowled at unguarded stumps. Kind of crappy way to do it for the crowd so they introduced super-overs.

    Their rule is outdated but clearly intended to void wagers if any extra deciding activity takes place after the two innings (bowl-off, toss of coin, super-over, magic eight ball etc) so good service of them to give you the win.

    Props (most sixes for e.g.) will exclude super-overs because cricinfo doesn't update the scorecards with stats from Super-overs

    makes total sense that most-6s or wickets taken or such dont include supers

    full props to Tony for acknowledging they had a hole in their rules and making you whole

    those are my open bets now the match went into a "super over" after the regulation ended and my team won, and they are saying they will not pay me and talk to tony about this

    In there rules it states

    A super over is not a bowl off or toss of coin, and is actually a over time period, so they should pay me?????? Its not my fault there rules are faulty? it seems like they wrote there rules to make a decision on there own based on if its profitable for the book to decide?

    wtf is going on here
    actually when i placed bets and match turned to superover my all bets cancelled and my book called me and told new rates for super over ...

    I was only owed 10k, but I thought for sure I was going to get stiffed. Since half of that was owed to a friend of mine, I was really sick when I thought I was getting shafted. I'll always be thankful to Tony for his help, even though he had no direct liability. And I'll always be thankful to the man who sent the package.
    Helped again tracking down an even larger figure. Props again to him.

    typical poster over reacting and trying to make a top book look bad

    It was a post I dug up under search Gold. I only posted to give props to him. No problem on a near 6 figure outcome.

    If the game ends in a tie meaning a super over all bets are void

    Bet fair settles this way as does most major books

    What the hell was the result of this anyways? Was the OP's wager graded as a win or loss?

    The result is in the thread. He was given the win and the rules were updated.

    Same thing happened to me Jim. 5 Dimes made a mistake and they wanted me to pay for it. It was for less than $100 but the principle of the matter made me not play there anymore.

    ^ Something happened with one of my po's and fkn guy on phone was basically telling me to f off, I made a complaint through Sbr, nothing solved. I even played there a while after and had no problems but it's obviously not 100%. I didn't renew pro bc of it too. Shame.
