    am I crazy or getting screwed?
    On Friday I bet the double result prop in the louisville-Oregon basketball game. I bet louisville-louisville -300. On a site I've bet on for months thru an agent. They ruled I lost the bet because Oregon won the second half. I'm furious because afaik double result is halftime full time not 2 separate halves and there was no language to differentiate their prop from normal. Once it was pending it actually said louisville 1h louisville 2h (but not when I bet it was just louisville-louisville with no mention of second half anywhere on the page). Am I crazy or should I have won this bet?

    If the prop was -300, it sounds like it should have been the halftime, full time one you said. Needing to win each individual half at -300 seems awful steep.

      Another thing is the prop had Draw-Louisville and Draw-Oregon as options but nothing with draw as an option for the second result.

        your crazy - these type of bets and the odds would clearly indicate you are betting both halves...Louisville was what, like -650 ml in this event ? and you thought it was being offered at -300 if you bet louis 1st half and game..

        The 2nd post by OP confirms that no draw option for the final leg should confirm easily this was not full time result.

          Um you can draw a half but not a game in basketball FYI... Also Pinny had first half odds of -350/+291 so -300 for half/game seems reasonably priced. I thought a double result was a pretty common prop offering halftime/full time results.

            I have never played this type of bet but I would assume the Louisville-Lousville would mean that they had to be leading at the half and then at the end of the game. Why would someone bet this if it meaned they have to win both halfs straight up. If Louisville got a huge lead in the 1st half then odviously the second half they would only be favored by a small amount, no where near -300.

              I should have probably posted this in a soccer forum as this is a common prop in soccer but I thought people here would know about the double result prop in general. I got laughed at by two separate "managers" on the site for arguing my case. Apparently the winning side was louisville-Oregon +1000 which is beyond absurd. Whoever set the lines did a good and fair job but the guy grading them deserves to be raked over the coals for being so unbelievably stupid. Hey bud when draw is only available as a result in the first part of the bet and the definition of double result prop is halftime-fulltime you probably graded it wrong. Especially after letting the wager pending for EIGHT hours after the result while your team of monkeys could figure out how to screw me.

                  Never seen it being 1H/2H before, always HT/FT. Can't possibly be 1H/2H if as you say draw option 1H but no draw option 2H. They be screwed you clearly.

                    Why can't it be if draw/draw is not offered...in that event all draw/sides are 50% winners-push second half and all sides/sides are pushes...as no winner in either.

                      It should have been marked better perhaps, but this is not soccer...it is basketball...lets not confuse rules of one sport with another.

                        You got shafted here, keep pressing until you get a manager who has a brain. Or file a complaint with SBR.

                          I always thought it was HT / FT. Never heard of it graded 1st /2nd halfs. File a compliant.
