American Football (NFL) – BetBuilder
1.17 Selection and Bet Results
1.17.1 All NFL BetBuilder selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be
deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this
document, will be settled as a loser.
1.17.2 For instance, selections on a team to win a match where it is a tie after overtime, even where the draw or tie may not have been offered in Dabble’s BetBuilder product, will be settled as losers. Similarly, ‘Race to X’ selections where neither team reaches the selected score will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘neither team to reach X’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not. If a quarter, half or match finishes scoreless, then touchdown or point-scoring selections for that period (e.g. Player to Score a 1st Half Touchdown) will be settled as losers.
1.17.3 If one more selection in any bet is void due to the player(s) in question not
participating in a game (as per section 1.3: Player Specific Markets), the entire bet will
be resulted as void. Selections voided for other reasons (typically game abandonment or postponement) will be resulted according to the rules outlined in section 1.22).
1.18 Overtime
1.18.1 All NFL matches will be settled on the official declared result including any
overtime (unless expressly stated otherwise in these rules).
1.19 Second Half / Fourth Quarter Markets
1.19.1 All second half and fourth quarter market selections do include overtime if it
occurs. For example, a total second half points selection would include the points
scored in both the second half and overtime.
1.20 Player Specific Markets
1.20.1 All player selections will be considered active if a player participates in at least
one play at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in
question references a specific period of the match. If a player does not participate in a single play during a match, selections specific to that player will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to score a touchdown in the second half would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player participated in the first play of the match, was injured, and did not return to the game, regardless of having never been on the field during the second half. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced and did not participate in any plays whatsoever, the selection and therefore bet would be void.
1.21 Postponed and Incomplete Matches
1.21.1 If a match is postponed or incomplete, all bets will stand if the game is
subsequently resumed or played within the same scheduling week of the NFL schedule (Thursday – Wednesday local stadium time) as the originally scheduled start time. All bets placed on games which are postponed and commence outside their originally designated scheduling week will be void, and stakes will be refunded.
1.22 Abandoned Matches
1.22.1 If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the same
scheduling week rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is halted during play, and then resumed and completed during the same scheduling week, all bets will stand also as per section 5. If a game is halted after commencing but prior to
completion, and it is not resumed and completed within the same scheduling week, the following rules apply:
1.22.2 BetBuilder bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a
player who has not yet been on the field for at least one play. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to the application of this rule.
1.22.3 If every selection within a BetBuilder on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the bet builder entry in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg BetBuilder
containing an over total points selection and a certain player to score a touchdown, in a game where the required points have been reached and the player did score a
touchdown before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total points selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.
1.22.4 If a single selection of a BetBuilder has lost and a match is then abandoned, the BetBuilder will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a BetBuilder including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was subsequently then abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not.
1.22.5 If there are no losing selections within a BetBuilder and at least one void
selection at the time of a match abandonment, the BetBuilder will be treated as void.
This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, a BetBuilder including an over total points selection, in a game abandoned while the total points are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total points selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.
1.23 Venue Changes
1.23.1 If the venue of a match is changed from the one scheduled or advertised, all bets on that match will be voided.
