SOCCER - Maximum Winnings €10,000

Acceptance

Bets are accepted only on matches where BetJacks Sports offers prices and all winning bets will be settled at accumulative odds based on the individual prices shown on our website coupons. In the event of a bet being accepted that contains a match for which no quotation has been made, that match will be treated as a 'non-runner' and bets will be settled on the remaining selections.
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 which includes time added by match officials for stoppages, but not scheduled extra time, penalty shoot-outs etc. Settlement will be at the price prevailing at the time the bet was placed and confirmed.
Dates and kick-off times of matches shown on our coupon are for guidance purposes only.
Bets will be accepted up to the advertised kick-off time. If a bet is inadvertently accepted which includes a match after its actual kick-off time, the match will be treated as a 'non-runner' and bets will be settled on the remaining selections.
We reserve the right to refuse the whole or part of any bet. No postal, telex or fax wagers are accepted.

Postponed or Abandoned Matches

An unplayed, postponed or abandoned match will be treated as a 'non-runner' for settling purposes unless it is played during the same 'football week' (Monday - Monday (GMT/BST Time), in which case the bet will stand unless cancelled by mutual consent. If 'non-runners' reduce an accumulator, bets will be settled on the remaining selections. Under no circumstances will the judgement of any 'Pools Panel' be accepted as a result.
Any match which is abandoned before the completion of 90 minutes play will be void with bets will be settled on the remaining selections. This ruling applies to all lists with the exception of bets involving 'First Player to Score' where bets will stand provided a goal has been scored at the time of abandonment

Re-Arranged Matches

In the event of a change of venue not published or made known to us at the time coupons are published, bets will stand provided the venue is not switched to the opponents' ground, in which case selections for that match will be made void.
If a team plays a different opponent to the one stated on the coupon, that selection will be void and the remaining selections will be settled irrespective of the minimums contained in Rule 2. Where a customer has nominated a team to beat a different opponent to that scheduled, the bet will stand for the selection's scheduled match. Where a draw has been nominated with no qualifying price laid, the selection will be void and bets will be settled on the remaining selections.

Handicap List

For the purpose of deciding results on the Handicap List, a number of goals (or half-goals) is added to, or subtracted from, the total goals scored by the away team. Settlement on the Handicap List will be at the special odds shown alongside its matches, using the actual score in the match adjusted for the "handicap"

Double Result (Half Time/Full Time or 45/90 Betting)

Bets predicting the Double Result must indicate the result at both Half-Time and Full-Time.

First / Last Player to Score

Every effort will be made to quote First/Last Player to Score odds for all possible participants. However, other players will count as winners should they score the first/last goal. Bets on players not taking part in the match will be void as will bets on 'first player to score' where the selection comes on after the first goal is scored. All players that take part in a match will be considered 'runners' for last player to score purposes.
In the event of a dispute over the award of a goal for first / last scorer betting purposes, settlement will be in accordance with the result given by Opta Index within 24 hours of the final whistle

Outright Betting

Where odds for OUTRIGHT win as well as 90 MINUTES play are offered in Cup Finals etc., unless 'to win outright' or a qualifying price has been selected, all bets are settled on 90 minutes play.

Divisional Betting

In divisional betting, with the exception of Serie A, the finishing position of teams at the end of the scheduled programme of matches will determine placings with no allowance for play-offs or subsequent enquiries by the respective leagues. In Serie A teams tied on the same number of points are not separated by goal average/difference. Therefore play-offs will count when the finishing positions of the teams are determined. The scheduled programme for the Scottish Premier League consists of 38 matches.
