definition of betting terms

Abandoned Game: Abandoned games will be deemed to be games which do not reach their natural conclusion on the calendar date/time.
In the instance where a match is abandoned, these principles will be applied in settling bets:
1. A match that's interrupted (e.g. due to bad weather), but then plays to a conclusion within 48 hours of the original kick off time won't count as an abandonment and bets will be settled on the outcome at the end of the match.
2. In the case of an abandonment, any subsequent replays/completions, award of the match result by governing bodies or pools panel decisions won't count toward settlement.
Extra Time: This is a period of time in a sports game in which play continues if neither team has won in the usual time allowed for the game, including injury time, where a winning result is required for advancement to the next stage of a specific competition or tournament.
Injury time: This is the period of time added to the end of a football game because play was stopped during the match when players were injured or for any reason that the referee saw fit. This is the added time after 90 minutes of normal play.
Live bet: This is a bet placed when the game is in-play or regular time has begun. Live bets cannot be cancelled once made.
Single bet: Single bet is a bet placed on just one selection or market. When placing single bets, your return will not depend on the outcome of several matches.
Multi bet: This is a bet placed on several selections or markets. When placing multibets, the return depends on the outcome of all the matches within the bet.
Postponed/Cancelled Match: Postponed/cancelled games will be deemed to be games which do not get to kick off on the specified calendar date but have been scheduled to take place at a later date.
In the instance where a match is postponed, the bet shall become void upon notification of the postponement unless the match is rescheduled and commences within 48 hours of the original kick-off time. If a match is cancelled, stake refunds will be provided for single bets whereas for multi-bets, cancelled selections shall be treated as non-runners and settled with odds of 1.0
Regular/Normal Time: This is the period of time, which includes injury time, over which a sport is played and is set out as the normal duration of play within a sport’s rules. This period does not include extra time
Retired Match: When a match is incomplete as the result of one player it is considered a "Retired" match. For example, when one of the players in a tennis match withdraws or is disqualified
Related Bets: These are multi bets which combine different selections within the same event. Related Bets are not accepted where the outcome of one affects or is affected by the other.
1. When the related parts of a winning bet are resolved at different times but still within the same tournament, the bet(s) will be settled with the stake being divided by the number of legs, with each leg being settled individually at the confirmed price of each leg.
2. In the case of all multiples including selections with related outcomes, if a bet is taken inadvertently, Betika reserves the right to void part of or the whole of the bet at our sole discretion.
