    after further research i think they're just doing this for publicity as they have d sbr rating and pretty much dont have any action with this bet.

    So if they are refunding Pacquiao bets what are they doing about Bradley bets?

    probally refund too, but these books who offering refunds probably have at least couple of bets on each side.

    does it mean that if you won they'll just refund your money? that's more of a low blow from the books

    No legit sportsbook would refund Bradley bets. The dude won on the judges scorecards, period. Even if the bout were ruled a no contest, which it will not be, the grades would remain. It's a PR deal to refund the losing Pac bets.

    That is what I figured, Lou. If they refund Pac-man bets they shouldn't refund Bradley bets or a lot of people would make a fuss from that as well.

    If DSI tried to refund my $2,000 Bradley bet at +360 odds, they would have a huge problem on their hands. I would be on the next flight to Custa Rica.

    no way any book is refunding a large amount of money on pac bets

    like doc said it probably cost paddy power 12-15k

    publicity

    european books probably don't get a lot of boxing action. who knows. the greek or 5dimes would never refund probably. too much cash

    No, Bradley bets are paid out as winners. Pac refunds is PR move.

    Won't matter for betting purposes, overturned decisions are not recognized.

    Exactly. it's a brand new book. they probably have a hand full of customers and they're likely small players testing out the new place. a few thousands refund, if that.
