How do books grade a retire? (i.e. Djokavic/Roddic)

[Flight]

I would like to take a poll: which books graded action on the Djokavic/Roddick match and which books graded it as no action?

I play at 5Dimes and the wager Djokavic (-250) was graded as a Loss.

I hear that some books act differently hear and I would like to hear personal experiences. Thanks.

Bodog settles all retirements as no action.

This is DSI/Bookmaker policy:

Betting must be fully completed without player's withdrawal, incapacity or disqualification for bets to stand. If a match is rescheduled due to scheduling, weather problems, bad light, etc. then all bets will have action and all wagers will stand. All tennis future bets are placed as *"All In"* unless otherwise stated. If a player withdraws before participating, then all bets on that player are settled as a loss.

So when retirements happen mid-match here, you get your money back. No wins. No losses.

Different books have different policies, here's a link with a table showing which books use which policy

I remember when Pinnacle changed their retirement rules. It happen just days after that Dent match, which btw I cashed.

See mysbr page, tennis retirement rules for every book under the sun.

Usually at least one set must be completed. If you take or give games or bet on the total number of games, then all wagers are canceled if a player retires.

Wow, thanks for the info! I was totally unaware of the variety on this rule. Seems like most books did grade the Djokavic/Roddick match, considering it was past 2 sets.
