    Sportsbetting.com says a draw in MMA is a loss
    Sportsbetting.com says my jon fitch money line bet last weekend is a loss because the fight ended in a draw. Tell me where in there house rules it says this?:

    BOXING/MMA

    The official stopping of a round before the sounding of the bell does not constitute a full round. A full round is only considered for wagering purposes when the bell sounds signifying the end of said round. Events postponed by more than 12 hours or that have been rescheduled will constitute no action.

    In the event of a draw you must choose that specified option to win. Specific fight propositions must come as stated, such as a draw, either fighter by knockout or decision or a specific round knockout etc. Rounds propositions will be governed by the rules posted on our wagering sheets or as stated at the time of the wager. In the event that either fighter does not make the required weight but the bout goes on, the following stipulations apply: When the bell sounds for the first round, the bout will be considered official, regardless of the scheduled length or title. The bout must have the original scheduled length to have action on a rounds proposition.

    For MMA wagering purposes, totals represent total minutes fought. In the event a fight ends on the number stated, the wager will be graded as a push and all money on that total will be refunded.

    right where i put in bold lettering is where it says it. if you put ML on fitch and the fight was a draw then you lose because you didn't choose draw for your option. plus you lost right when you made an account on that site because it sucks.

      in any sport if a draw is offered and you simply bet one player/team you are a loser if it ends in a draw or tie

      if no draw is offered it is either a void or dead-heat depending on the book/sport

      exception - Betfair's stupid rules for cricket

        There is a three way line for boxing and MMA at sportsbetting.com. Another words you have three options. In that fight the options were 1) Fitch 2)Penn and 3) Draw. The draw was the winner. The other two lose. Most US sportsbooks dont offer the 3 Way line but they do. If you don't like the 3 way line go to 5dimes, greek or Bookmaker.

          I have never seen draw as a MMA outcome option before.......If it was, I would have been all over that fight as Fitch can't finish and BJ is just maintaining lately....I pushed like everybody else I know.

              The site is quite OK, never had an issue with them, they have always paid me so far.

                You should never bet a fight that has the draw option. Usually the odds are about the same as a book that just offers the 2 way line.

                  three way line is stupid in mma since a draw is rare. but, if it's there then it's there and you lose.

                    Sportsbetting.com has abandoned the three way lines and back to traditional US two way lines. A draw is now a push with these two way lines. The complaints may have persuaded them to go back to two way line.

                      Yep, looks like 3-way line so SB is 100% correct.
