Quinellas, Trifectas, Parlays and Daily Doubles.

(3) minutes before the tracks published post time.

on a race that does not offer it, the wager will be refunded.
HORSE MATCHUPS
-
All horses listed in the match up must start in order for
there to be action. However, in cases where the matchups
are against "the field," (meaning all other horses in the race)
and a horse scratches that is part of "the field," the bet

the best finish placement.

GOLF

will be "No
Action" or "Push/Cancel" and all money will be refunded.

during the tournament, the opposing golfer wins the match-up.

SOCCER
Moneyline with Tie
-
This is the most common odds used by SBI where the bettor
(punter) has three choices: team A, team B, or a tie. This
type of wagering makes sense, since in regular season it is
possible for a match to end in a tie. If you wager on a team
in this scenario and the outcome of the match at the end of
90 minutes is a tie, the wager is a loss. If you wager on the
tie, and one of the teams wins at the end of 90 minutes, the
wager is a loss.
To Advance Wagering
-
For competitions such as the World Cup or FA Cup a two option
only line may be quoted. This is a wager on a team to advance,
whether they win in 90 minutes, in an extra time period, or
in a penalty shootout. There is no possibility of a tie.
SOCCER RULES
-
All odds are subject to fluctuation and amendment and are
based on the result at full-time. The terms full-time, 90 minutes
play, and normal time are all used to denote the period of
play that includes injury time but not extra time, penalty
shoot-outs, etc.
-
Bets will be accepted up to the advertised kick-off
time. If a bet is inadvertently accepted which
includes a match after its kick-off time, the bet
will be considered past-post and voided accordingly.
Game date and times posted are for guidance purposes
only and are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.

Total Goals Betting - Wagering on game totals
(over/under) only include goals scored in regulation
time. (First 90 minutes)
-
Outright Betting - Where there are odds quotes
for Outright as well as 90 minutes play (ie. Cup
Finals, etc.) unless "to win outright" or qualifying
price has been laid, all bets are settled on 90
minutes of play.
-
Divisional Betting - In divisional betting, the finishing
position of teams at the end of the scheduled programmed
of matches will determine placing with no allowance
for play-offs or subsequent enquiries by the respective
leagues.
-
Postponed Games - If a game is postponed and
rescheduled to occur within 48 hours of the original
start time, all bets stand. If rescheduled for
more than 48 hours later, all single bets are void
and wagers refunded while affected multiple bets
will be recalculated excluding that leg.

Games must take place on the site and dates scheduled.
(unless otherwise specified)
