Cricket

a) One-Day Matches

All bets, open or closed, on team innings runs shall be void if a team does not complete 80% of the number of overs originally allotted to it, unless the team has won, is dismissed or declares prior to that point. If the overs allotted to a team's innings are refixed at a level less than 80% of the allocation on which the market has been based, then bets, open or closed, on that team's innings will be void.

b) Other Matches

All bets, open or closed, on a team's innings runs shall be void if 50 full overs are not bowled unless the team has won, is dismissed or declares prior to that point.

c) Individual Batsmen / Partnerships

Bets about the number of runs which an individual batsman will score in an innings are void if he does not go in to bat but the bets otherwise stand, provided that at least one ball is bowled in that innings (whether to him or not) after he has gone to the wicket. If a player retires, for whatever reason, and does not resume his innings his score at the time will be deemed the make-up.

Where a bet consists of a match about the batting performance of two batsmen, each must go into bat, and at least one ball must be bowled in the relevant innings after the batsman concerned has gone into bat (whether to the batsman concerned or not) for any bet, open or closed, to stand.

When bets on a team's innings are voided, e.g. pursuant to Cricket Rule (a) or (b) above, all bets on batsmen and partnerships which have not made up at the close of the innings shall be void, whether open or closed.

Bets on partnership totals make up when the next wicket falls. If a batsman in the relevant partnership retires hurt, the partnership is treated as continuing between the continuing batsman and the batsman who comes to the wicket.

A partnership is also treated as being ended by the end of an innings.

d) Cricket Supremacy-One-Day Match Rule

This rule applies to all one-day matches unless stated otherwise:

A bet may be offered about the margin of victory in a one-day match, awarding points for each run or wicket won by. The official result, in runs won by or wickets won by, will determine the make-up of the market where:

(i) the game is completed, even if the scheduled number of overs for either side is reduced, or:

(ii) the game is abandoned, but an official result is declared by reference to the Duckworth-Lewis method, or such other method as is being applied by the relevant authority, on the basis of whether or not an adjusted target has been attained.

Where a game is abandoned with no official result:

(i) if the market is being traded in-running, the make-up will be the midpoint of the quote at the time at which play ceases.

(ii) if the market is not being traded in-running, all bets, whether open or closed, shall be void.

e) Individual Performance Index

From time to time a performance index may be offered based on the all-round performance of one or more individuals. Any bet, open or closed, shall be void where the player or (in the case of a match) one of the players in the match takes no part in the match, or where an official result is not declared.

f) Long-Term Markets

It is the client's responsibility to make himself aware of all rules and stipulations governing long-term cricket markets before trading. Where there are stipulations governing long-term cricket markets (e.g. a player must play at least two tests) and they are not satisfied, all bets, open or closed, shall be void. If a bet is struck on a player who takes no further part in a long-term market, that bet, whether open or closed, shall be void unless expressly stipulated otherwise when the market is first framed.
