Nadal Retired...why Didnt I Get Refunded???
I just put $120 on Nadal to win, and he retired. Don't I get my wager returned?? I play on 5dimes, and there has been many times I've been refunded in these situations. Can someone please help, I'm fuming!

5dimes counts matches that complete at least 1 set, even if there is a retirement.
From their rules:
A "Walk Over Winner" (player concedes before a match) and matches which do not complete the first set are graded no action. Any match concluding after the first set is completed will be graded with the advancing player as the winner.Comment -
Bullshit....time to find a new book!Comment -
maybe back to bowmansComment -
This link may help you if you are looking for a new book: http://rockefeller444.blogspot.com/2...s-betting.html
It has a table that shows which books count wagers after 1 set, full match, etc. However, it was posted in March, so it's possible a book has changed its policy since then.Comment -
Sorry about your loss. That sucks. Bookmaker I know has rules where two sets have to be complete.Comment -
Same thing happened to me, Nadal waited til he finished gettin his ass kicked 6-1 the first set before runnin off the court with his tail between his legs makin sure that he'd fukin raped any gambler who bet on him, my bet was at matchbook with same bullshit ruleComment -
YA an absolute kick in the nutsack! If he was hurt, why would would he wait to quit until thw 1st set ended? Clearly he wasn't right before then!Comment -
He had the underdogComment -
oh shit.....5dimes is whack. my bookmaker nadal plays just went no action with refunds and reduced payout on my parlays. its a good book i dont know why it catches so much flack. heh i guess i mostly feel like that after a good day.Comment -
I thought this was pretty standard. Either way itrs built into the odds.Comment -
I just had a wager on Safin.........and Andreev retired after Safin won the 1st set. Going back to this post, I'm assuming it will be cashedComment -

hahaha.....no crap eh. I actually left 5Dimes for about a year, and just came back in the last month or so. Plus, I typically don't wager on tennis too often.Comment -
Got one worse than yours Rul8er
5dimes took my "rookie of the year" play on ,guess who,GREG ODEN in his rookie year .
It was still pre-season, and then wham, ODEN went down with an season ending knee injury .
Since the "rookie of the year " is based on Regular Season , I get refunded,right ?
Nooooo,not with 5Dimes,and I also liked to have blown my top !
Unreal,and a cheap way for book's to rip a player off !

stop whining, abehonest, that is the way any outright bet works. It has absolutely nothing to do with the book ripping players off.Comment -
well did u get paid?Comment -
Okay Mr.MMM !Originally posted by MMM
You seem to know this is a standard rule ?
What happens if a NASCAR favorite get's the flu bug a day before a major race and can't make it ..do they [the books] also gobble up all the wager's on him also ?
Or a horse heading for the Kentucky Derby ,and he's goes lame before the race ?
Some insight Mr.MMM ?Comment -
Correct with horse futures for sure, if you make a future bet on a big race and then the horse does not run, you are shit out of luck. That is the risk you take with future markets.Originally posted by ABEHONESTComment -
With tennis there is NO standard rule. The lack of standards has killed many an arber on tennis. Where they have Nadal -180 and lucksack at +250..... nadal retires and is a loss and lucksack had to complete 2 sets to get the win. Read the F'n rules where you play. Don't cry about the rules cuz you didn't know them.
Don't call BS when your the dumb ass.Comment
