What Is Related Contingency Betting?
Related contingency betting refers to Accumulator/Multiple bets that combine different selections within the same event but cannot be accepted
This is down to the outcome of one selection affecting another selection.
Let's look at an example of this in action
Should Brighton & Hove Albion have odds of evens to win and the odds of 9.0 to win the match 1-0, placing a Double on Brighton to win and the correct score to be 1-0 would result in the combined odds of 18.0
This is a misleading selection as should the match finish 1-0 to Brighton, they will automatically win.
Are There Exceptions To The Rule?
There can be occasions where exceptions are made, such as in a Scorecast (First Player to Score/Correct Score Double).
Using a Bet Builder that combines interrelated bets will also be an exception.
How Are Bets Settled When Related Parts Are Resolved at Different Times?
Let's see this in action in the form of a Double bet.
If we were to have the following bet:
-
Carlos Alcaraz to win the semi-final of the Men's Singles at Wimbledon.
-
Carlos Alcaraz to win the Men's Singles title at Wimbledon
The odds for the second selection depend on the outcome of the first. Therefore, the odds for Alcaraz winning the tournament at the time the bet was placed cannot be used. Instead, the correct odds after the first selection is completed will be applied.
What About Multiple Bets Across Different Events?
Multiple bets that combine selections from different events are also not accepted if the outcome of one affects the other.
If we were to have the following bet:
-
Liverpool to win the Premier League
-
Liverpool to win the Champions League
The odds for Liverpool to win the Champions League may depend on whether they win the Premier League. Therefore, the odds for the Champions League at the time the bet was placed cannot be used. A special price for winning both events will be quoted instead.
