FIGHT MARKETS, EXPLAINED

Draws, no contests and void fight bets

A draw, no contest and void bet are different concepts. Identify the sporting result first, then read the market’s settlement rule.

Two-way is not automatically draw-proof

A market with only two displayed fighters may specify a refund on a draw, but the wording of that market decides. Do not infer the rule solely from the number of buttons.

A no contest needs its own rule

The reason and official timing of the result may matter. Do not map a no contest to a decision, a draw or a losing bet without the operator’s published settlement terms.

Keep the accepted contract

Save the event, selection and market at acceptance. Later publicity about the sporting result is not a substitute for the accepted terms, including the rules for overturned results.
