    This bet clearly should be graded "No Action. The bet is intended as a 4-way prop bet, where one option wins and the other three lose. If there is no winner then there can be be no losers---it's really as simple as that. Bookmaker is trying to treat this as a parlay (which it is NOT). Since the first part already lost, the entire bet loses. If that's their argument, albeit invalid, then those that bet the other team to score first should be credited with a partial win (win and tie on a 2 team par). Instead they are just getting their stake bet. In effect, Bookmaker is taking a 4-way prop bet, and grading 1/2 of the outcomes no action and the other 1/2 losers. Whether intended or not, this is a freeroll that should NOT be condoned--regardless how small the wager was. OP is entitled to his money back.

    In this case, the "winners" are crying too. Those that bet Washington to score 1st are not getting credit for winning the first part of this bet.

    100% agree. All void or 2 losers with 2 dead-heat winners. It's a clear void with the British books i've looked at. Anything else is a stiff.
