Question about first goal bet

zwoeins · 02-12-11, 03:49 PM

I don't know paf.com but normaly there should always be a third option 'no goal'.
But I would not expect that you will got back your stake.

In Ladbrokes at least,if the game finishes with no goal,then i get my money back.If there r only 2 options,like in my case,i am expecting my money back.Any other opinion here?I don't know very much about betting.

Seems like a losing bet. You didn't bet which team would score first, you bet when the first goal would happen. It didn't happen, so you lost.

Just looked at the sites odds for soccer matches. They bet on the bolton match with similiar odds as your bet. These type of bets are sometimes 2 way, but mostly 3 way( in which case your money is lost)
paf.com whether (with intent to deceive or not) are in my opinion ambiguous with the terms of the bet, by not stating clearly what happens in the event of no goal being scored.

If they class no goal as all bets lose, then the odds offered are very bad, and show them to be a bookie to be avoided at all costs

this bet at paf is two ways

, very strange bet normaly this kind of bets are 3ways with no goal option.

Thx for your help.So,what should i do now?I am not very experienced with betting.Do i have a point in this situation and can i find my right?I obviously have to contact them.

Contact them and query the settlement of the bet as a loser, pointing out that 'no goal' was not a third option.

IMO this is what you should have done FIRST before coming on here and asking what we thought, it doesn't matter what WE think, it matters what THEY think and why.

This is good advice.
The odds don't necessarily imply 2-way though, because 0-0 (no goal) chance is usually small, perhaps 1:10, depending on the league. but no 3rd option presence could imply 2-way.
At least they should clarify it and return your stake in good faith.

From their rules:https://www.paf.com/helpdesk/games/betting.htmlTime of the First Goal

The time of the first goal is determined in accordance with the official timekeeping in the match.
If the goal is scored during the extra time in the first half, the goal is considered to have been scored in the 45th minute regardless of how long extra time has been played.

If the first goal is scored during the extra time in the second half, the goal is considered to have been scored in the 90th minute, regardless of how much extra time has been played.

If no goal is scored during the regulation time, the bet is considered lost.

All the books return the money when there is a 2way bet.?
How did you choose paf.com they do not even offer any first deposit bonus.How they behave at theis payments?

I am using paf.com some years now.I don't bet so much in general.I am playing some skill games usually.In betting,i found paf has sometimes better stakes than the other bookies i use.The payments have executed within 1 working day so far to my moneybookers account.
