    Sure, risking 8700 total, sent 300 back.

    For everyone else, so far all bets over limits are confirmed, let's have some fun

    Paid USA not last bets, as it's mathematically impossible for USA to get last at this point.

    Good luck fellas, and let's see some teams tie for last place...it's the only way I come out ahead in this betting

    not sure how it works anyway

    if two tied for last, wouldn't it be considered half last/half not-last?

    otherwise if 3 tied for last place and people bet on all 3 to finish last, you'd have to pay out on all 3?

    the books have rules for this for golf, where if two tie for 10th, it's like half the wager finished 10th and half finished 11th

    I had assumed a tie for last is last, whether bet was on last or not last. If there's an established practice though, probably better to go with that. Gee thanks yis, now I have even less hope

    did sbr state any tiebreakers for positions, or are they choppin? if there's a tiebreaker by sbr, I think it governs. If not i'd interpret as you see fit, tripe... .didn't u say something about your word being final say.... if they bet "nonlast" and their team finished last and there's no tiebraker, both non-last bets are losers, the way I see it.

    In a "dead heat", two or more competitors are joint winners in a race or contest. For wagering purposes, the wagered amount on a selection is divided by the number of competitors involved in the dead heat (divided stake) and multiplied by the number of paying positions in question. The divided stake gets paid the full odds of the original selection. The remainder of the stake is a loser.

    Dead Heat Example:
    Straight Bet selected on Ogivly TOP 10 +350, for $100.
    Scenario #1: Two golfers – including Ogivly – tie for 10th place.
    The risk amount ($100) is divided by 2 as there are only 2 golfers sharing one same paying position (10th place). In this case, half of the stake ($50) gets paid full odds, and the other half ($50 as well) is lost. $50 on Ogivly +350 wins $175, for a total credit of $225.
    A bet on any other golfer for TOP 10 that is not tied in 10th place, but yet a winner, will pay full odds for the whole amount wagered.
    Scenario #2: Five golfers – including Ogivly – tie for 10th place.
    The risk amount ($100) is divided by the number of competitors involved in the "dead heat" (5 golfers) = $20 (divided stake) and multiplied by the number of paying positions (there is only one paying position as it is the last place in which 5 golfers are tied). The remainder $80 of the risk amount are lost.
    The divided stake gets paid full odds of the wager as if originally the bet was only for $20. $20 on Ogivly +350 pays $70 to win, for a total credit of $90.
    A bet on any other golfer for TOP 10 that is not tied in 10th place, but yet a winner, will pay full odds for the whole amount wagered.
    Scenario #3: Five golfers – including Ogivly – tie for 8th place.
    The risk amount ($100) is divided by the number of competitors involved in the "dead heat" (5 golfers) = $20 (divided stake) and multiplied by the number of paying positions (3: 8th, 9th & 10th) = $60. The wager amount to be paid at full odds is $60. The remainder $40 of the risk amount are lost.
    $60 on Ogivly + 350 pays $210 to win, for a total credit of $270.
    A bet on any other golfer for TOP 10 that is not tied in 8th place, but yet a winner, will pay full odds for the whole amount wagered.

    My word is final here as with any contest or betting I run. I had assumed tied for last was still last at full odds either way, but that's because I didn't know there was a precedent for similar situations. Now that I know, I think it's only fair to do it the way it's commonly done, even if it costs me a couple pizzas

    books have to do it this way because it's not uncommon to have 5+ guys tied for 10th

    if they paid them all at full odds for the top 10 bet

    if you think about it, it's logical. If two tie for 3rd/4th and you have wagers on positions, you can't have no third place or no 4th place. So it's split as if they finished half 3rd and half 4th.

    All USA win and others lose bets paid since USA has it in the bag. Only a couple of ""XXX Team Last" bets to grade.
