    Here is the chat script. Even She said the fight is under 2.5 round too and William Hill is graded correctly.
    Julian Erosa vs Julio Arce - Total Rounds 2.5
    Under @ +100
    [12:04:06 AM]Ingrid: Thanks for that. Please allow me few minutes to check your account.
    [12:04:49 AM]Van: sure
    [12:05:57 AM]Van: full fight is 15 min
    [12:06:13 AM]Van: under 2.5 round is 12.30 min
    [12:06:33 AM]Van: fight end in 11:49 min, so the bet it is under.
    [12:09:29 AM]Van: another site
    [12:10:13 AM]Ingrid: Sorry to keep you waiting, I'm further checking the concern with my supervisor, please give me few more minutes.
    [12:10:21 AM]Van: sure
    [12:14:25 AM]Ingrid: Apologies for the long wait. Currently checking by my supervisor. Few more minutes please.
    [12:16:07 AM]Van: ok
    [12:20:21 AM]Ingrid: Appreciate your patience Van, just waiting for the advise from my supervisor probably checking with Settlers.
    [12:20:31 AM]Ingrid: If you could give me few minutes more.
    [12:20:56 AM]Van: sure, I just want this fix. I wait.
    [12:22:40 AM]Van: Tell the Settlers ufc clock counts down. So if fight end in 3:11, it means only 1:49 second have pass.
    [12:25:26 AM]Ingrid: Thanks for patiently waiting. Upon further checking, The match finished on Round 3 01:49 minutes of the match. Since it didn't reach the 02:31 mark, it will still be counted under Round 2.
    [12:25:45 AM]Ingrid: As per rules on Total Rounds:
    [12:25:57 AM]Ingrid: 5. Total Rounds
    a. Predict whether the fight will finish under or over a specified number of rounds.
    [12:26:09 AM]Ingrid: b. Where a half is stated in a 5 min round, 2 min 30 sec will define the half for under/over betting. The same principle will be used for a 3 min round etc. If the under/over total lands on exactly half of a round bets will be void.
    [12:26:11 AM]Van: wut?
    [12:26:20 AM]Ingrid: https://williamhill-lang.custhelp.co.../7479/kw/ufc#5
    [12:26:51 AM]Van: you said the fight is u 2.5 round and I bet under. what is your point?
    [12:27:49 AM]Van: William Hill will looks stupid if I take my grievance to sport forum.
    [12:28:27 AM]Ingrid: Sorry if you feel that way.
    [12:28:54 AM]Ingrid: The match didn't reach the 02:31 mark, it will still be counted under Round 2.
    [12:29:32 AM]Van: yes and I bet 'under', so I lose. where is your logic sir?
    [12:30:09 AM]Van: I like this script for good laugh please
    [12:31:45 AM]Ingrid: I understand how you feel.
    [12:32:26 AM]Van: So did I lose the bet or win the bet?
    [12:33:17 AM]Ingrid: I believe we've settled the bet correctly.
    [12:34:08 AM]Van: I bet under 2.5 round, so how did I lose when you said the fight is under 2.5 round?
    [12:37:04 AM]Ingrid: The 3rd round ended at 1:49, if match didn't end on round 3, it will still be consider as round 2, since didn't reach the 02:31 mark.
    [12:37:59 AM]Van: if is round 2 than shouldn't I win for betting under?
    [12:38:48 AM]Van: Ok I take my grievance to all sport forum, please email me of the transcript and your name please.
    [12:39:34 AM]Ingrid: I respect your view on this matter Van and I'm afraid we settle the bet correctly as per official result and rule.
    [12:39:43 AM]Van: do you know every other site grade as a 'win' if you bet under 2.5 round.
    [12:39:50 AM]Ingrid: I'll email you the transcript of this chat.
    [12:39:58 AM]Van: thanks you.
    [12:41:40 AM]Ingrid: Thanks as well for your time.
    [12:41:43 AM]Ingrid: If you need anything in the future, we are happy to help. Thanks for contacting William Hill. Bye for now.

    You're right, the fight was under 2.5 rounds by 41 seconds. They graded it incorrectly.

    Thank you for your support, calculate 1:49 second into decimal ratio round to show that 2.36333 is under 2.5 too, funny and lol.

    Easiest way to get it fixed will be to email second_opinion@willhill.com

    If they don't fix it for you, send in a sportsbook complaint form and I'm sure we can find someone to review it properly for you.

    Embarrassing for William Hill. Not because they made a mistake, but because they employ complete morons and are seemingly proud of it.

    Live support with another person said they got it 'wrong' the trading team known about it. Ask me to check later
    Yup they fixed it, it is now graded as a 'win' Thank you SBR forum and SBR member.



    side note: it is very sad that Ingrid ask 'TWO' supervisor regarding my bet, both supervisor said my bet is graded correctly, it take the lower level employee to do the right thing. Supervisor and manager only look after employee, they usually don't known the market they work at.
