    A question about a bet

    I had music for life not to finish in the top 3 at gulfstream park, it finished 3rd in a dead heat is the bet a loss still.

    I think it is still a loss.

    It finished 3rd, but it can be like a prop so it could depend on fine print.

    Yeah, pretty sure it finished 3rd and that's that.

    Would like to here if anyone has a different experience.

    I would say loss in the absence of any fine print to the contrary.

    Finishing 3rd even if it's a triple dead heat. Still means he finished 3rd.

    Is it considered a future?

    Would it be the dead heat rule? Would he get 1/3 if there was a triple dead heat?

    It's a bet not to place 3rd.

    You got me curious here.

    I did the same bet at bet 365 for a horse not to finish top two places and it was a dead heat for second place. I got half my wager back

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's basically the "dead heat rule" but I'm not so sure everyone uses it.

    What they may do is actually split your bet, then pay you accordingly.

    Or in your case, split the original bet, and then collect the loss.

    Sounds weird but it makes sense. We see it in golf with first round leader and top 5/top 10 type future bets.
