Outright Betting

All outright sports bets are 'non-runner, no bet'. Stakes will be returned on competitors or teams who take no part in a tournament.
The finishing position of competitors or teams at the end of a scheduled programme of matches will determine placing, with no allowances for play-offs, subsequent enquiries or point deductions by the respective leagues.
Season long head-to-heads, handicaps etc. are based on the placing at the end of the scheduled programme of matches with no allowances for play-offs, subsequent enquiries or point deductions by the respective leagues. Where appropriate, the rules on that competition take precedence for head-to-head betting. For example, if goal difference applies to league standings, then a head-to-head bet on two teams finishing with the same number of points will also be defined by goal difference. Handicap bets are calculated in accordance with Rule 6.5.2.
In US sports, the Conference winner will be determined after the completion of the conference play-offs and not by the best record during the regular season.
