    Marathonbet.com issue

    Not a major one, definitely not one of those with big payout disputes, although i feel deeply sorry for those who ran into these, but just a small issue regarding grading...
    It seems like they are having trouble following their own rules.
    I want you people to make a call on this:

    I had this Set Handicap +1,5 on Matosevic in Delray Beach tonight, as you may know he won first set and then Hewitt retired.

    Most books have clear rule on all kinds of handicaps that they are void if match is not completed.

    Marathon has it like this:

    "If a player retires or is disqualified bets on the match result will stand as long as one set has been completed, otherwise these bets will be void. Bets on other markets will be void unless a definitive result for that market has already been determined."

    http://help.marathonbet.com/en/sport..._sport/tennis/

    Marathon graded my wager a push.

    Do you people agree that this +1,5 set handicap is DEFINITIVELY decided by Matosevic winning first set and wager should be graded a winner?

    Perhaps they're presuming a 5 set match and therefore up a set and 1.5 in pocket would not equate to "already won" ?

    And Davis Cup.

    But yes, the bet should be graded a winner according to their rules, just as Hewitt -1.5 should be graded a loser.
