2. Definitions
1) "Error" is a mistake, misprint, misinterpretation, mishearing, misreading,
mistranslation, spelling mistake, technical hazard, registration error, transaction
error, manifest error, force majeure and/or similar. Examples of errors include, but
are not limited to:
- bets accepted during technical problems that would otherwise not have
been accepted; - bets placed on events/offers that have already been decided;
- bets on markets/events containing incorrect participants and/or not allowed
within the applicable jurisdiction; - bets placed at odds that are materially different from those available in the
general market at the time the bet was placed; - bets offered at odds which reflect an incorrect score situation; or else,
odds being clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the
time the bet was placed.
2) "Influence Betting" is an act, prohibited by TwinSpires, where an Account Holder,
or parties acting in association with an Account Holder, can influence the outcome
of a match or an event - directly or indirectly.
3) "Syndicate Betting" is an act, prohibited by TwinSpires, where Account Holders
act together to place a series of bets on the same event or competition. Where
there is evidence of Account Holders acting together in this manner TwinSpires
reserves the right to make the relevant bets void and/or withhold payment of
returns pending the outcome of subsequent investigations.
3.Bet Acceptance
1) A bet is not valid until it is validated and shows in the Account Holder’s bet
history. In cases of uncertainty about the validity of a bet, the Account Holder is
requested to check the open (pending) bets or contact Customer Service.
2) Unless accepted in Error, once accepted, a bet will remain valid and cannot be
withdrawn. It is the responsibility of the Account Holder to ensure details of the
bets placed are correct. Under no circumstance TwinSpires will accept any
responsibility for any mistakes (perceived and actual), deriving from either Errors
as listed under <Section A, Para 2, Clause 1>, or any other reason, such as but
not limited to, incorrect listing of the odds/betting objects.
3) Should a dispute arise about the acceptance (or lack thereof) of any transaction in
the Account Holder's account, the transaction log database will be the ultimate
authority in deciding such matters.
4.Betting and Payout Limitations
1) TwinSpires reserves the right to limit the net payout (the payout after the stake
has been deducted) on any bet or combination of bets by one Account Holder at
{Currency Value} for any bets placed or settled within a 24-hour timeframe. This
limit may be lower depending on the specific sport, league and type of bet offer.
For further information it is recommended to consult the Sport Specific Limits in
<Section C, Para 32>.
2) All bet selections are subject to pre-imposed limits set solely at TwinSpires'
discretion which may be lower than the limits mentioned in <Section A, Para 4.1>
and <Section C, Para 32>. Should this limit be reached, the Account Holder has
the right to ask for it to be exceeded by means of a request effected through
TwinSpires' platform(s). TwinSpires reserves the right to accept (fully or partially)
or reject the said request without any prior notice and further explanation.
3) TwinSpires reserves the right to decline, solely at its own discretion, all, or part of,
any bet requested. This includes the possibility that a "System bet" as defined in
<Section B, Para 4> is not accepted in full, either in terms of stakes or
combinations included in said "System bet".
4) TwinSpires reserves the right to restrict or deny access, totally or partly, to the
user account, at its own discretion.
5) All bets placed through any TwinSpires platform, also including bets requesting
manual approval, may be subject to a time delay prior to acceptance, the length
of which may vary. Such delay is to be determined by TwinSpires at its sole
discretion.
6) TwinSpires reserves the right to withhold payment and/or to declare bets void on
an event (or series of events), if there is sufficient evidence that any of the
following has occurred:
a. the integrity of the event has been called into question;
b. the price(s) or pool has been manipulated;
c. Match-rigging has taken place, or the match is under investigation for such;
d. Results/outcomes need to be further ascertained with a third party
organization, including but not limited to the organizing association and/or the
relevant Regulatory body.
Evidence of the above may be based on the size, volume or pattern of bets
placed with TwinSpires across any or all of its betting channels, as well as
information received from other betting providers or officially recognized
organizations.
7) All odds offered are subject to variation. Such fluctuation is determined solely at
TwinSpire's discretion. Bets are accepted only at the odds available in the
betting grid at the time the bet was accepted by TwinSpires, irrespective of any
other claim or previous publication present on the website or any other media
detailing otherwise.
8) All payout calculations when settling bets will be done based on Decimal odds,
irrespective of any other format displayed/chosen at time of bet placement.
5.Cancellation (Voiding) of Bets
1) A bet can be declared void, and will be, in that event, settled with the odds of
1.00.
2) A bet made as an accumulative bet shall remain valid notwithstanding a match or
an event which is part of the accumulative bet being void.
3) TwinSpires reserves the right, at its own discretion, to declare a bet void, totally or
partly, if it is obvious that any of the following circumstances have occurred:
a. Bets have been offered, placed and/or accepted due to an Error and/or at odds
which significantly differ from those currently present elsewhere in the market;
b. Bets placed while the website was encountering technical problems, that
would otherwise not have been accepted;
c. Influence Betting;
d. Syndicate Betting;
e. A result has been affected by criminal actions - directly or indirectly;
f. A public announcement has occurred in relation to the bet which alters
significantly the odds.
4) Related contingencies: Unless placed via TwinSpires's in-event combination
functionality, or offered explicitly as a specific offering, TwinSpires prohibits
accumulator bets that include two or more outcomes which might turn out to be
related (e.g. Team X to become champions and Player Y to be Top Goal Scorer in
the same league). Although TwinSpires takes all necessary steps to prevent such
possibilities, in the eventuality that this would happen, TwinSpires reserves the
right, solely at its own discretion, to declare void all parts of the accumulative bet
which include the correlated outcomes whose odds are not indicative of the
related contingency..
5) Bets can be voided regardless of whether the event has been settled or not.
6) Past-posting and other cancellations: While TwinSpires employs its most
reasonable endeavours to ensure the best user-experience, should a market be
available for betting when it should have been removed or else with incorrect
odds, TwinSpires reserves the right to void all bets accepted within said
circumstances in accordance with <Section A, Para 5.3>. Similar situations
include, but are not limited to:
(i) 'Pre-match' bets placed/accepted after the event has started;
(ii) 'Live' bets placed/accepted at incorrect odds due to delayed or failing
‘Live’ coverage, or on odds which represented a different score than the
actual;
(iii) Bets placed following the last instance that a participant/outcome had
any chance to influence the match/event scoring applicable to the
relevant market and an eventual
withdrawal/disqualification/cancellation/format change or anything
which precludes the ability of the applicable participant/outcome to
influence said scoring will be declared void;
(iv) Bets placed with odds which do not reflect that a related event was
underway and where conditions could have been altered in a direct and
indisputable way, or else after an event which could normally be
deemed as leading to the outcome is happening or has happened
already.
6.Disclaimer and Priority
1) TwinSpires reserves the right, at its own discretion, to adjust a Payout credited to
an Account Holder’s balance if it is obvious that the Payout has been credited to
the Account due to an Error.
2) In order to adjust any inaccuracy in the Account Holder's balance following
amounts credited due to an Error, TwinSpires reserves the right to take any
necessary action, without prior notice and within reasonable limits, to adjust the
Account Holder's balance through the reversal, amendment or cancellation, of
any subsequent transaction on the Account Holder's account.
3) Any complaints/disagreements towards settlement of any bet offer, should reach
TwinSpires within 14 days of the initial settlement to require a full investigation.
All other complaints will only be considered if indisputable evidence of an
inaccurate settlement is presented by the account holder. Such evidence will only
be taken into consideration unless it is in any way attributable to situations as
described in <Section B, Para 5.2>.
4) TwinSpires reserves the right to suspend access to the account until it completes
any investigations it deems necessary.
5) These rules are applicable to all transactions with TwinSpires Sports Book and
may be supplemented with other Rules. In the event of ambiguity, priority should
be considered in the following order:
a. Rules and conditions published in conjunction with an offer and/or campaign;
b. Should these be inconclusive, reference will be made to the General Sports
Book Rules, unless Sport-Specific Rules declare otherwise.
6) In cases where it deems that these Rules are inconclusive, TwinSpires reserves
the right, according to its own discretion, to settle offers on an individual basis on
the basis of equity, attaining itself to generally accepted betting norms, customs
and definitions.
7) Adaptations into other languages of these Terms & Conditions, or any other text
which can be associated with bet offers, are done for purely informative purposes.
Although all necessary precautions have been taken to assure the most faithful
rendition of these terms in the specific language, TwinSpires will not accept any
liability for any incompatibility between the English version and any other
language. Thus, in case of discrepancy between the English edition and the
respective translation, the former will be deemed as binding and will be the basis
upon which the offers will be settled.
8) Any data provided or accessible in, from or related to the Sports Book may be
used by the Account Holder for private, non-commercial use only and any use or
attempted use of such data for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited.
9) TwinSpires has the right to enforce a term of the contract relating to the Sports
Book against any Account Holder.
B. General Betting Rules
1.Common Terms of Reference
1) Unless listed either in conjunction with the bet offer, or else in the Sport Specific
rules, all bets should be considered valid for the result at the end of the "Regular
Time" or "Full Time" only. "Regular Time" or "Full time" is defined as interpreted
by the official rules published by the respective governing association. For
example, in Football, full time is stipulated to be 90 minutes including injury time,
and in Ice Hockey it is stipulated as the 3 x 20-minute periods. Should the
governing association decide to stipulate, before the start of the event, that the
said event is to be played over a different duration, this will be treated as being
the official rules for the event (for example, football matches played with 3 x 30
minutes or 2 x 40 minutes formats). Nonetheless, such occurrence is limited to
the "regular" playing time and does not include any prolongation such as extra
time or overtime, unless explicitly stated.
2) "Livebetting" is where it is possible to bet during an ongoing match or event.
TwinSpires does not acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever if it not
possible to place a bet or the live score update is not correct. At all times it is the
Account Holder's responsibility to be aware of the match and the events
surrounding it such as the current score, its progression and how much time
remains before the match is completed. TwinSpires does not accept any liability
for changes to the Livebetting schedule or interruption of the Livebetting service.
3) The [Cash Out] function allows the Account Holder the possibility to redeem a bet,
which status has not been settled yet, at its current value. It is available on
selected events both in pre-match and live, as well as on both single and multiple
bets. [Cash Out] functionality cannot be used on free bets. [Cash Out] requests
might be subject to the same delay procedure as listed in “Section A, Para 4.5”.
Should it happen that during this delay, for whatever reason, either the offer is
removed, or odds fluctuate, the [Cash Out] request will not be accepted, and the
Account Holder will be notified with an on-screen message. TwinSpires reserves
the right to offer such functionality solely at its own discretion and does not
acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever should the functionality not be
available. Should a [Cash Out] request be successful, the bet will be settled
immediately and any subsequent events which occur in relation with the bet will
not be considered. In the instance of a [Cash Out] bet having suffered from a
technical, pricing or settlement error at any time between the time of original
offering and the final settlement, TwinSpires reserves the right to rectify such
inaccuracy in accordance with “Section A, Para 6.2”.
4) The "Participant" is an object constituting part of an event. In "Head-to-Head" and
"Triple-Head" the Participant only refers to objects that are subject to the "Head-
to-Head" or "Triple-Head" event in question. For sake of clarity a “participant” is
to be intended as a single player, a team or any group of individuals
grouped/listed together. Any reference to participants within these rules is to be
intended accordingly regardless of whether its definition is in singular or plural.
5) The deadline (cut-off time) shown on the website is to be treated for information
purposes only. TwinSpires reserves the right, at its own discretion, to suspend,
partially or completely, the betting activity at any time where it deems necessary.
6) Statistics or editorial text published on the TwinSpires’s website(s) are to be
considered as added information. TwinSpires does not acknowledge or accept any
liability whatsoever if the information is not correct. At all times it is the Account
Holder’s responsibility to be aware about circumstances relating to an event.
7) Theoretical return in fixed odds betting to the player is given by the odds from all
possible outcomes in the offer. The theoretical payback to a player on a bet offer
with 3 outcomes a, b and c can be calculated as follows.
Theoretical % = 1 / (1 /” odds outcome a” + 1 / “odds outcome b” +
1 / “odds outcome c”) x 100
2.Bet Types
1) "Match" (aka 1X2) is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite)
outcome of a match or event. The options are: "1" = Home team/Player 1, or the
participant listed to the left side of the offer; "X" = Draw/Tie, or the selection in
the middle; "2" = Away team/Player 2, or the participant listed to the right side of
the offer. In particular instances or specific competitions, TwinSpires might
display an offer in the so-called “American” format (ie: Away Team @ Home
Team), where the host team is listed following the visiting team. Irrespective of
the positioning of the teams on the board/betslip, the references to “Home” and
“Away” teams will always refer to the actual teams playing at home (host) and
away (visitor) respectively, as determined by the official organization bar the
exceptions as detailed in <Section B, Para 5.32>
2) "Correct Score" (aka Result Betting) is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or
definite) exact score of a match,/event, or part of it.
3) "Over/Under" (aka Totals) is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite)
amount of a predefined occurrence (e.g. goals, points, corners, rebounds, penalty
minutes, etc.). Should the total amount of the listed occurrences be exactly equal
to the betting line, then all bets on this offer will be declared void. Example: an
offer where the betting line is 128.0 points and the match ends with the result 64-
64 will be declared void.
4) "Odd/Even" is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) amount of a
predefined occurrence (e.g. goals, points, corners, rebounds, penalty minutes,
etc.)."Odd" is 1, 3, 5 etc.; "Even" is 0, 2, 4 etc.
5) A "Head-to-Head" and/or "Triple-Head" is a competition between two or three
participants/outcomes, originating from either an officially organised event, or
else, as virtually defined by TwinSpires.
6) "Half time/Full time" is where it is possible to bet on the result in Half time and
the outcome at the end of the listed timeframe. E.g. if at Half time the home team
is leading 1-0 and the match ends 1-1, the winning outcome is 1/X. Bets on this
market will be declared void should the match be played in a format where it is
impossible to determine an outcome based on the timeframes listed within the
offer.
7) "Period betting" is where it is possible to bet on the outcome of each separate
period within a match/event. E.g. If the period scores in an ice hockey match are
2-0 / 0-1 / 1-1, the winning outcome is 1/2/X. Bets on this market will be declared
void should the match be played in a format where it is impossible to determine
an outcome based on the timeframes listed within the offer.
8) "Draw No Bet" (aka Moneyline) is where it is possible to bet on either "1" or "2" as
defined in <Section B, Para 2.1>. It is also common practice to refer to "Draw No
Bet" in cases where no draw odds are offered. Stakes will be refunded should the
specific match/event not produce any winning outcome (E.g. match ends as a
draw), or the occurrence not happen (E.g. First Goal, Draw No Bet and match
ends 0-0).
9) "Handicap" (aka Spread) is where it is possible to bet on whether the chosen
outcome will be victorious once the listed handicap is added/subtracted (as
applicable) to the match/period/total score to which the bet refers to. In those
circumstances where the result after the adjustment of the handicap line is
exactly equal to the betting line, then all bets on this offer will be declared void.
Example: a bet on -3.0 goals will be declared void if the chosen team wins the
match by exactly 3 goals difference (3-0,4-1, 5-2, etc). Any reference in this
section to the term “margin” is intended to be understood as the outcome
emerging from the subtraction of the goals/points scored by the 2
teams/participants.
Unless otherwise stated, all handicaps listed on the TwinSpires site are to be
calculated based on the result from the start of the listed match/period to the end
of the specified match/period. It is however customary that for certain handicap
bet offers in specific sports (Asian Handicap in Football), only the outcomes
obtained from the time of bet placement until the end of the listed timeframe will
be taken into consideration, thus disregarding any goals/points scored before the
time the bet was placed and accepted. Any bet offer with these characteristics
will be clearly displayed on site and highlighted in the punter’s Bet History with
the score at the time of bet placement.
There are 3 different “handicap betting” formats:
2-way Handicap: Team A (-1.5) vs Team B (+1.5)
Example:
Team A is given a -1.5 goal handicap in the match. For the bet to
be won, Team A must win the match with a margin equal or
bigger than the listed handicap (ie. 2 goals or more).
Team B is given a +1.5 goal advantage in the match. For the bet
to be won, Team B must either win the match, match finish in a
draw or not lose with a margin equal or bigger than their listed
advantage (ie. lose with a 1 goal margin).
3-way Handicap: Team A (-2) Draw (Exactly 2) Team B (+2)
Example:
Team A is given a 2 goal handicap in the match. For the bet to
be won, Team A must win the match with a bigger margin than
the listed handicap (ie. 3 goals or more).
Draw would be the victorious outcome should the match end up
with exactly the listed margin (ie. match ends with results such
as 2-0, 3-1 and 4-2).
Team B is given a 2 goal advantage in the match. For the bet to
be won, Team B must either win the match, match finish in a
draw or not lose with a margin equal or bigger than their listed
advantage (ie. lose with only a 1 goal margin).
Asian Handicap: Team A (-1.75) vs Team B (+1.75)
Example:
Team A is given a -1.75 goal handicap in the match. This means
that the stake is divided into 2 equal bets and placed on the
outcomes -1.5 and -2.0. For the bet to be fully paid out at the
listed odds, Team A must win the match with a bigger margin
than both of their listed handicaps (ie. 3 goals or more margin).
In the eventuality that Team A wins with only a 2 goal margin,
the bet will be considered as partially won with a full payout on
the -1.5 part of the bet and a refund on the -2.0 side since the
outcome on that part of the bet would be considered a “tie”.
Should the match produce any other outcome, including a Team
A victory with only 1 goal of margin, the whole stake would be
lost.
Team B is given a +1.75 goal advantage in the match. This
means that the stake is divided into 2 equal bets and placed on
the outcomes +1.5 and +2.0. For the bet to be fully paid out at
the listed odds, Team B must either win the match, match finish
in a draw or not lose with a margin equal or bigger than any of
their listed advantages (ie. lose with only a 1 goal margin). In
the eventuality that Team B loses with exactly a 2 goal margin,
the bet will be considered as partially lost with a refund on the -
2.0 part of the bet and a loss on the -1.5 part of the bet. Should
the match produce any other outcome which results in a defeat
of Team B with a margin of 3 or more goals, the whole stake
would be lost.
10)"Double Chance" is where it is possible to bet simultaneously on two (partial or
definite) outcomes of a match or event. The options are: 1X, 12 and X2 with "1",
"X" and "2" as defined in <Section B, Para 2.1>.
11)"Outright" or "Place" betting is where it is possible to choose from a list of
alternatives and bet on the eventuality that a participant wins or places within a
specified position in the classification of the listed event/competition. Should two
or more participants share finishing positions, the settlement will be based as per
the definition in <Section B, Para 5.14>.
12)An “Each Way” bet (aka EW) refers to a bet where the chosen selection must
either Win or else Place within the payout terms. The bet is divided in two parts
(the “Win” part and the “Place” part) of an equal stake. Settlement of such bets
will take into account the applicable rules governing the "Win" and "Place" bets,
namely the Sport-specific rules as well as <Section B, Para 5, Clause 11>.
13)"Goal minutes" is where it is possible to bet on the sum of the minutes when the
goals have been scored. When settling such bets, goals scored in injury time of
both halves are to be considered as having been scored in the 45th minute in
case the goal was scored in the first half injury time and the 90th minute in case
the goal was scored in the second half injury time. Own goals will not count
towards the settlement of individual player’s ‘goal minutes'.
3.Betting Props
1) Fantasy/Virtual "Matches" or "Head to Heads" are implicit match-ups where the
performances of two or more participants/teams which are not directly
confronting each other in the same match/event/round are compared. Settlement
will be based on the number of times each participant records a predefined
occurrence (e.g. goals) in the respective match. The following criteria will be used
to determine the settlement of these type of offerings:
a. Unless specifically stated the bets refer to the next official match/event/round
(as applicable) that the listed participants/teams are scheduled to take part in.
b. All relative matches/events must be completed on the same day/session which
the match/event/round is scheduled to be completed for bets to stand, except
for those offers the outcomes of which has been decided prior to the
abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events,
which will be settled according to the decided outcome.
c. Results for these offers will only take into account occurrences deriving from
the actual play. Results attributable to walk-overs as well as other decisions as
specified in clauses 2, 3 and 4 of <Section B, Para 5> will not be taken into
consideration.
d. Should the aforementioned criteria be inconclusive in determining the outcome
for these offers, the following criteria will be progressively referenced to in
order to settle the offering:
(i) the applicable Sport-specific rules as listed in <Section C>,
(ii) Result Settlement rules as listed in <Section B, Para 5>.
Bets will be settled as void should it still be impossible to determine a winning
outcome.
2) "Grand Salami" is where it is possible to bet on the total number of listed
occurrences (Example: Total Goals, Total Runs) happening in a collection of
matches/events on a specified round/day/match day. All relative matches/events
must be completed for bets to stand except for those the outcomes of which have
been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed
regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided
outcome.
3) Over/Under bets on classification of participants in performances/events must be
interpreted as follows: "Over" means a worse or lower position while "Under"
means a better or higher position. Example: A bet on a player's classification in a
tournament with an Over/Under line 2.5 will be settled as Under if the player
classifies first or second. All other placements will be settled as Over.
4) Bets on "Quarter / Half / Period X" refer to the result/score achieved in the
relevant timeframe and does not include any other points/goals/events tallied
from other parts of the event/match. Bets on this market will be declared void
should the match be played in a format where it is impossible to determine an
outcome for the timeframes specified in the offer.
5) Bets on "Result at end of Quarter / Half / Period X" refer to the result of the
match/event after termination of the stipulated timeframe and will take into
account all other points/goals/events tallied from previous parts of the
event/match. Bets on this market will be declared void should the match be
played in a format where it is impossible to determine an outcome for the
timeframes specified in the offer.
6) Bets on "Race to X Points / Race to X Goals..." and similar offers refer to the
team/participant that is the first to reach the specified tally of points/goals/events.
If the offer lists a timeframe (or any other period restriction), it will not include
any other points/goals/events tallied from other parts of the event/match which
are not related to the mentioned timeframe. Should the listed score not be
reached within the stipulated timeframe (if any), all bets will be declared void,
unless odds for such eventuality have been published within the market.
7) Bets on "Winner of Point X / Next to Score " and similar offers refer to the
team/participant scoring/winning the listed occurrence. For the settlement of
these offers, no reference to events happening prior to the listed occurrence will
be taken into consideration. Should the listed occurrence not be scored/won
within the stipulated timeframe (if any), all bets will be declared void, unless odds
for such eventuality have been published within the market.
8) Bets referring to the happening of a particular occurrence in a pre-defined time
order, such as “First Card”, or “Next Team to receive penalty minutes” will be
settled as void should it not be possible, without any reasonable doubt, to decide
the winning outcome, for example in case of players from different teams which
are shown a card in the same interruption of play.
9) "To score first and win" refer to the listed team/participant being the first to
register any scoring in the match and going on to win the match. Should there be
no scoring in the match all bets will be settled as void.
10)Any reference to "Clean sheet"/”Shutout” indicates that the listed
team/participant must not concede any goal/points during the match/relevant
timeframe.
11)" To win from behind" refers to the listed team/participant winning the match
after having been at least 1 goal/point behind their opponents at any point in the
match/relevant timeframe.
12)Any reference for a team/participant to win all halves/periods (e.g. Team to win
both halves) means that the listed team must score more goals/points than its
opponent during all the stipulated halves/periods of the match.
13)Any reference to "Injury Time" refers to the amount displayed by the designated
official and not to the actual amount played.
14)Settlement of bets on offers such as "Man of the Match", "Most Valuable Player"
etc. will be based on the competition's organisers’ decision, unless otherwise
stated.
15)Settlement of bets which make reference to terms such as "decisive goal" will be
settled based on the scorer of the goal that at the end of the match/tie (as
applicable) proves to be the one that has produced an unassailable lead, following
which any further goals would prove to be irrelevant towards the final outcome.
For a bet to be settled as "YES" the listed player's team must be declared winner
of that particular match (in case of one match) or progressing to the next
round/winning the competition. Goals scored in Regular Time and Extra Time
count but not Penalty Shoot outs.
16)Bets on events which feature a selection of episodes that could happen in a
match (E.g. "What will happen first to the player? with options "Score a goal, Get
a Yellow/Red Card, Be Substituted) will be settled as void should none of the listed
events/outcomes occur, unless odds for such eventuality have been published
within the market.
17)Settlement of Transfer bets will also take into account players signed by the club
on loan deals.
18)Bets referring to Managerial changes refer to the individual in the Head
Coach/Manager role (as applicable) who steps down/is removed from the position
for any reason. Bets are valid even in cases where a joint responsible (if any)
leaves their position and will be settled accordingly. In case that no more changes
are happening between the time the bet is placed and the last league fixture
(excluding play-offs, play-outs, post season, etc.) the bets placed after the last
Managerial change (if any) will be void, unless a suitable option has been offered
for betting. Football markets will consider and settle accordingly, any
interim/caretaker Head Coach/Manager who since the last Managerial change has
led the team for 10 consecutive matches.
19)Offers referring to which team/participant will achieve a particular
accomplishment against another team/participant (E.g. Next team to beat Team
X) as well as offers which refer to the classification on a certain date, will stand
and be settled regardless of any eventual fixture changes and number of
games/rounds played.
20)Settlement of offers referring to which team/participant will be the first to achieve
a particular accomplishment against other team(s)/participant(s) (E.g. Team to
score first in Matchday X) will be based upon the timeframe in the respective
match in which the feat has been accomplished. Example: Team A plays on
Saturday and score their first goal in the 43rd minute while Team B plays on
Sunday and score their first goal after 5 minutes, then Team B will be settled as
winner.
21)From time to time TwinSpires, at its sole discretion and without prejudice to
related contingencies as described in <Section A, Para 5, Clause 4>, might decide
to publish offerings referring either to the single performance of a
participant/team or offerings which combine the potential outcomes of 2 or more
teams/participants (example: Enhanced Multiples, Boosted Odds, etc), at higher
odds than those normally available. TwinSpires reserves the right to withdraw
such offers, edit the respective odds and effect any further changes TwinSpires
might deem necessary at its sole discretion. Settlement of these offers will be
based on the following criteria in the listed order:
1. Unless specifically stated the offer refers only to the listed day(s) and/or next
official match/event/round (as applicable) that the listed participants/teams are
scheduled to take part in at the time the offer is published;
2. Results settled as per respective Sport-specific rules. All related events must
be completed as scheduled within the applicable timeframes for bets to stand
unless any other outcome in the offer would incontrovertibly determine the
outcome of the offer in a way that completion (or lack of thereof) of the other
events listed in the offer would not influence the outcome of the offer. Such
markets will be settled according to the already determined outcomes;
3. Unless explicitly stated within the offer, result settlement will only take into
account occurrences deriving from the actual play. Results attributable to walk-
overs, protests, changes to the first official result, etc will not be taken into
consideration. Stakes will be refunded should it be impossible to determine a
winning outcome in accordance with the respective Sport-specific rules;
4. All connotations related to the offer must be fully and unquestionably complied
with for the bet to be deemed as winning, regardless of any possible conflict with
the Sport-Specific rules or with any potential interpretation based on previous or
current presentation of offers related to events in that particular sport and the
way these are normally presented in TwinSpires Sports Book. Where applicable,
should the offer include any outcome the result of which ties exactly the chosen
Over/Under or Spread line (aka PUSH) this will not be considered as having
accomplished the listed occurrence and will result in the bet being settled as
LOST.
While all necessary precautions have been taken by TwinSpires to ensure a
superior user experience, it is to be understood that markets might fluctuate in
such a way that, at any given point in time, these markets do not represent an
enhanced value comparable to related bet offers currently present on TwinSpires
Sports Book. All bets remain valid regardless of these eventual fluctuations.
22) During selected events, TwinSpires will provide users with functionality to place
bets combining outcomes and occurrences from the same event (aka Intra-Event
Combinations), either through pre-established combinations present in its
Sportsbook (excluding Enhanced Multiples, Boosted Odds, etc for which <Section
B, Para 3, Clause 21> applies), or through the [BetBuilder] functionality. Such
functionality is only present at TwinSpires's sole discretion and without prejudice
to related contingencies as described in <Section A, Para 5, Clause 4>.
Settlement will be based on the respective Sport-specific rules. All related
occurrences must be fully accomplished for a bet to be considered as having
happened and eventually paid out at the odds struck. Stakes refunded should any
part of the combination be settled as VOID. Where applicable, should the
combination feature any outcome the result of which ties exactly the chosen
Over/Under or Spread line (aka PUSH), such part of the combination will be
removed from settlement calculation and bets will be paid out taking into
consideration only the other parts of the combination.
23)“Teaser+” allows the user the possibility to allocate the same pre-set amount of
points to all outcomes present in a parlay (combination) containing Spreads
(Handicaps), Totals (Over/Unders) or a combination of both. Example: User
combines NFL Team X +6.5 points in a parlay with Over 41 points in the NFL
match between Team Y and Team Z. By choosing the “Teaser+ Football 6 points”
option, the lines and odds get recalculated into a parlay featuring Team X +12.5
points (previously +6.5), combined with Over 35 points (previously Over 41).
Should any part of a “Teaser+” bet be settled as void (push), that particular
selection will be excluded from the parlay and the computation of odds/payout
will be re-adjusted accordingly.
24)Bets referring to “Rest of the match” or similar will consider only outcomes and
occurrences obtained from the time of bet placement until the end of the listed
timeframe, thus disregarding any occurrences registered before the time the bet
was placed and accepted.
25)Bets on specific timeframes/intervals (example: Match result between 60:00-
89:59), will consider only outcomes and occurrences accumulated during the
specified timeframe/interval. Settlement will not take into account any other
points/goals/events tallied from other parts of the event/match outside the
specified timeframe/interval, including stoppage/injury time, unless specified.
4.System Bets
1) In Pre-match betting, it is possible to combine up to twelve (12) different offers on
a single coupon. Based on these twelve offers, Account Holders s can choose their
own number of singles, doubles, trebles etc.
2) In Livebetting it is possible to combine up to twelve (12) different offers on a
single coupon as an accumulator bet. Based on these twelve offers, Account
Holders s can choose their own number of singles, doubles, trebles etc..
3) TwinSpires reserves the right to limit the amount of combinations due to what is
known as outcome dependency/related contingencies, as defined in <Section A,
Para 5.4>. and also other factors, solely at its own discretion.
4) It is possible to include one or several matches as ‘bankers’ which means that the
selected matches/events will be included in all coupons.
5) A ‘Trixie’ is a combination, which includes one treble and three doubles from a
selection of three matches.
6) A ‘Patent’ is a combination, which includes one treble, three doubles and three
singles from a selection of three matches.
7) A ‘Yankee’ is a combination, which includes one fourfold, four trebles and six
doubles from a selection of four matches.
8) A ‘Canadian’ (also known as ‘Super Yankee’) is a combination, which includes one
fivefold, five fourfolds, ten trebles and ten doubles from a selection of five
matches.
9) A ‘Heinz’ is a combination, which includes one sixfold, six fivefolds, fifteen
fourfolds, twenty trebles and fifteen doubles from a selection of six matches.
10)A ‘Super Heinz’ is a combination, which includes one sevenfold, seven sixfolds,
twenty-one fivefolds, thirty-five fourfolds, thirty-five trebles and twenty-one
doubles from a selection of seven matches.
11)A ‘Goliath’ is a combination, which includes one eightfold, eight sevenfolds,
twenty-eight sixfolds, fifty-six fivefolds, seventy fourfolds, fifty-six trebles and
twenty-eight doubles from a selection of eight matches.
12)For display purposes, when necessary, the second digit after the decimal point of
the odds is shown as rounded up in the Account Holder’s bet history to the
nearest decimal number. The payout will however be effected based on the actual
odds multiplied by the stake, disregarding the aforementioned rounding.
5.Result Settlement
1) When settling results TwinSpires will do its utmost to attain itself to information
obtained first hand (during or exactly after the event has been concluded),
through TV transmissions, streaming (web-based and through other sources) as
well as official sites. Should this information be omitted from first hand viewing
and/or official sources and/or there is an obvious Error in the information included
in the sources above, the settlement of the bet offer will be based on other public
sources. Nevertheless, unless a clear and verifiable Error is noted in the first
official result, settlement of bets will not include any changes deriving from
and/or attributable to, but not limited to: disqualifications, penalisations, protests,
sub-judice results and/or successive changes to the official result after the event
has been completed and a result has been announced, even preliminarily.
2) a. Settlement of markets held over more than 1 round/stage (E.g:.Season Bets),
will only consider amendments effecting bets which settlement has not been
decided yet. Such measures must be announced by the governing association
before the last scheduled round/stage will be considered. Any changes effected
after this date, or else referring to bets which have already been settled based on
events happening during the event/competition will not be considered.
b. Unless otherwise specified within the offer, implied by the official competition
rules or announced beforehand as being the official format for that particular
event, any changes from the default sport/event/competition format that result in
TwinSpires offering odds/lines/totals which are incongruent with the revised
playing format, will result in the voiding of the bets effected by the format
change.
c. Offers where the format change does not preclude the organizing association
from declaring a winner (ex.Season winner), irrespective whether there will be a
continuation of play or not, revised length of season/competition, etc, will be
settled according to the result issued by the governing association granted that
said result is issued as per the timeframes listed below and is congruent to the
odds/lines/totals available at time of offer publishing.
d. The following settlement provisions apply in such cases:
(i) Should the governing association declare a relevant outcome within 3
months from the last match played before the interruption (be it final
classification, cancellation or intentions to resume play), markets will be
determined accordingly;
(ii) In case no applicable official communication/result is issued within 3
months from the last match played before the interruption, markets will
be settled in accordance with the last classification/rankings available,
regardless of number of matches played/current stage/phase of the
competition;
(iii) Markets which refer to whether a team/participant will reach a
subsequent phase of the competition (example: Play-Offs) will be
settled as void should there be any changes to the format/number of
participants scheduled to contest that particular phase or that
particular phase is not played at all, unless an outcome based on the
market connotations at time of bet publishing has already been
determined and the change in number of applicable matches bears no
influence the outcome of the offer;
(iv) Markets which odds are dependent/based on a full schedule of matches
being played (example: Over/Under Wins in the Regular Season/Points
in the League), will be declared void should the number of matches
played end up being different than originally scheduled at the time of
bet publishing, unless an outcome has already been determined and
the change in number of applicable matches bears no influence the
outcome of the offer.
3) Occurrences which have not been sanctioned and/or acknowledged by the
match/event officials (e.g. disallowed goals) will not be taken into account towards
the settlement of the bet. As a general rule, and unless the offer specifies
otherwise, TwinSpires will settle offers based on the exact time that the flow of
play was interrupted/resumed (as applicable) by the occurrence in question (e.g.
ball went out of play for a throw-in/goal kick or crosses the line for a goal), or play
is interrupted by the referee, whichever is earliest. Bets referring to the
accumulation of a particular occurrence (e.g. Total corners) and/or the execution
of a particular action, will require said occurrence to actually take place during the
time interval specified (e.g. the corner being kicked). In such instances, should the
occurrence be only awarded and not taken, it will not be considered for settlement
purposes.
4) All bet offers related to matches/events which do not take place at all or are
awarded a result through a walk-over decision will be declared void.
5) In case of an abandoned event, all bet offers that have been decided prior to the
abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, will
be settled according to the decided outcome. Should the abandoned event not
resume within 12 hours of its start time, all pending offers related to the event will
be settled as void.
6) In case an event is abandoned and is scheduled to restart from the beginning, all
bets placed before the initial match which could not be settled through the
outcomes deriving from the play prior to abandonment, will be declared void
regardless of whether or when the match is continued
7) Unless otherwise stated either in the Sport-Specific rules or in conjunction with the
bet offer, specific events forming part of tournaments/competitions which are not
held, get postponed and/or rescheduled for a time/date longer than 12 hours from
the last scheduled time issued by the governing association due to bad weather,
crowd trouble or similar scenarios will be declared void with the following
exceptions where bets will remain valid:
a. Events which starting times have not been officially confirmed yet by the
governing association at time of bet placement;
b. Events which are moved due to scheduling conflicts/tv broadcasts but
remain scheduled to be played within the same matchday/game week/round
(as applicable) and the change does not change the order of official fixtures
for any of the participants in the offer;
c. Events which start times are anticipated (brought forward) but remain
scheduled to be played within the same matchday/game week/round (as
applicable) and, without prejudice to past-posting and similar occurrences as
defined in <Section A, Para 5.6>, the change does not modify the order of
official fixtures for any of the participants in the offer.
For the avoidance of doubt the definition of same matchday/game week/round is
to be interpreted as the order of fixtures as dictated by the governing association
with each specific match representing a matchday/game week/round. Should this
order not be upheld and the sequence of fixtures changes in a way that matches
against other teams get scheduled in between so much that the listed fixture
ceases to be the next official commitment from that particular
tournament/league/competition for all teams involved, that will be considered as
not part of the same matchday/game week/round and offers will be declared void.
The above does not apply to Season bets which will remain valid granted that the
tournament/league/competition is held and decided during the season/year it
refers to, regardless of any eventual date changes. In cases of Play-offs series or
other series of matches which are scheduled to confront 2 teams over 2 or more
matches, any re-scheduling of a single match will be considered as being part of
the same matchday regardless of the length of the re-scheduling, granted that the
order of home and away fixtures in the series is not modified and the listed fixture
takes place within the series. Otherwise bets will be declared void.
8) In cases of events which have not been completed before their natural conclusion,
and a result is issued through a decision by the association not more than 12
hours from the event’s start, TwinSpires will use the issued decision as the official
result for offers related to the event's outcome, such as Match, Draw No Bet and
Double Chance granted that the issued decision does not change the outcome of
the said bet offers at the time of the abandonment. In that case the stakes will be
refunded. All offers referring to the tallying of particular occurrences (example:
Total Goals, Handicaps, etc) will be declared void except for those the outcomes of
which have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be
changed regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the
decided outcome.
9) All bet offers related to uncompleted matches/events where the official governing
body is not previously acknowledged (e.g. Club Friendlies) will be declared as void
unless at least 90% of the stipulated Regular/Full time is played, see in <Section
B, Para 1.1>. Should the match/event be abandoned after 90% has been
completed, the settlement will be based on the current score at the time when the
match/event was stopped.
10)Settlement of bet offers, such as, but not limited to, shots, shots on target, ball
possession, assists, rebounds, etc. will be based according to the definition with
which the official governing body issues said statistics. Unless backed by un-
contradictory evidence, TwinSpires will not acknowledge any complaints which
derive from a personal interpretation of such terms.
11)When placing "Outright" or "Place" bets, no stakes will be refunded on
participants/outcomes that are not participating or withdrawing from an event
(both prior and during), unless otherwise stated. TwinSpires reserves the right, at
its own discretion, to apply Tattersalls Rule 4, as explained in <Section B, Para 6>,
on any competition and this will be stated in correlation to the bet offer and/or the
relevant Sport-specific rule.
12)No refunds of bets will apply, even if the winning outcome of a match/event is a
participant/outcome that has not been listed for betting purposes. On all bet offers
the account holder has the possibility to ask for a price on a non-listed
participant/outcome. TwinSpires reserves the right, at its own discretion, to
decline such requests.
13)In case a participant is disqualified/withheld/banned from taking part in a
subsequent part/phase of an event/competition, the disqualification will be
considered to have taken place at the time of the participant’s removal from the
event. No alterations will be made to previous results, regardless of any
modifications due to said actions. Bets placed after the disqualified participant last
took part in the event will be declared void.
14)If two or more Participants share the applicable finishing positions and no odds
have been offered for a drawn outcome, the payout will be calculated by dividing
the odds by the number of participants sharing those certain positions and are
settled accordingly. The payout will always be at least equal to the stake, except
in cases of “Head to Heads”, see <Section B, Para 2.5> and <Section B, Para
5.19>.
15)In “Group Betting” (aka “Best of X”), all listed participants must start the event for
bets to stand.
16)In “Group Betting” (aka “Best of X”), at least one participant from the selection list
must successfully complete the event for bets to stand. Should that not be the
case, and the governing association does not follow specific tie-breaking criteria,
the bets will be declared void.
17)In a "Head to Head" between two or three participants, all listed participants must
start the particular round/event which the bet refers to, for bets to be considered
valid.
18)In a "Head to Head" between two participants, all bets will be refunded if both
participants share the same position/score or are eliminated at the same stage of
the competition, unless the governing association follows specific tie-breaking
procedures, in which case, these will be deemed valid.
19)In a "Head to Head" between three participants and more than one winning
outcome, the odds will be divided by the outcomes sharing the winning position,
irrespective whether the net outcome is lower than the Account Holder's stake.
20)If a "Head to Head" is offered between different rounds/stages, all participants
must take part in the upcoming round/stage for bets to be valid. Should any
participant listed in the offer not take any subsequent part, bets placed from after
the last time the participant was active in the event will be declared void.
21)Unless specifically stated, whenever the organising association deems it fit to
include any necessary rounds, matches, or series of matches (e.g. Play-offs, Play-
outs, Postseason) following the end of the so-called Regular Season in order to
determine the classification, league winners, promotion/relegation, etc.,
TwinSpires will take into account the results and outcomes deriving from these
matches for settlement purposes of bets referring to the final league classification,
promotion, relegation, etc. For example, seasonal bets on the team winning the
NHL will refer to the Stanley Cup Winners.
22)Offers which confront against each other the performances of two or more
individuals/teams over a stipulated timeframe/competition will only be settled
based on the result of the listed participants, disregarding all other participants in
the same competition/event.
23)Unless specifically stated, all offers referring to a single player’s performance in a
specific domestic league (such as Total Goals Scored by Player X in League Y) or
"Head to Head" bet offers involving two players’ performances in domestic
leagues, will not take into account those events happening during eventual Play-
offs/Play-outs/Post-season or any other matches, or series of, which would happen
after the so-called Regular Season.
24)Offers related to a total amount of occurrences/events scored/tallied by a
particular team, either in a single team performance in a specific domestic league
(such as Total Goals Scored by Team X), or "Head to Head" bet offers involving
two teams’ performances in domestic leagues (E.g. Most Penalty Minutes in
League X - Team Y vs Team Z), or a cumulative league performance (E.g. Team to
receive Most Yellow Cards in League X) will not take into account those events
happening during eventual Play-offs/Play-outs/Post-season or any other matches,
or series of, which would happen after the so-called Regular Season, unless
otherwise specified.
25)In a single player performance bet offer in a specific domestic league (such as
Total Goals Scored by Player X in League Y) or "Head to Head" bet offers involving
two players’ performances in domestic leagues, unless an outcome has already
been achieved, stakes will be refunded should any of the following occurrences
happen to any relevant participant: (i) is not part of the matchday squad for the
club/team they are eligible for at time of bet placement in 50% or more of the
remaining applicable matches for any reason, (ii) does not take part in at least
another match after the bet has been placed, (iii) totals the same amount as the
other player, unless a draw/tie option has been offered. Other sports-specific
conditions may apply, please refer to the Sport-specific section.
26)In a single player performance bet offer in a specific event (such as Total Goals
Scored by Player X in International Tournament) or "Head to Head" bet offers
involving two players’ performances in specific events, should any of the following
occurrences happen to either of the participants in the selection list, the bets will
be considered void: (i) does not take part at all in the event (ii) does not take part
in at least another match after the bet has been placed, (iii) totals the same
amount as the other participant, unless a draw/tie option has been offered.
27)During specific events TwinSpires might decide to offer for betting a reduced
selection of participants and might also include betting options such as "any
other", "the field", or similar. This option includes all unlisted participants except
for the ones mentioned specifically as available.
28)Offers that make specific reference to a participant’s/participants’ performance in
a particular event (e.g. Player X vs The Field) are to be considered void if the
mentioned participant(s) do(es) not take part in the competition.
29)Any form of a qualification ahead of the main event is considered to be a valid part
of that competition. Thus any participant who is eliminated at qualification stage
will be considered losing to anyone that is pre-qualified or is successful in the
qualification part.
30)Bet offers which originally require participant(s) to compete in two or more
stages/legs to advance into a subsequent phase/round of a competition, will
remain valid regardless of any postponement/movement of the actual match
dates, given that said match(es) actually takes place within the frame of the
competition.
31)A bet on a “To Qualify” market originally requiring just one stage/leg to advance to
a subsequent phase/round of a competition (including any eventual
prolongations/additional matches, e.g. replays) will be declared void if said match
is not decided within more than 12 hours of its supposed start time.
32)Should an event be moved from its originally announced venue and/or have its
playing surface changed, this will not be treated as a cause for the offers to be
voided unless (i) the Sport-specific rules dictate such, and/or the new location in
which the event takes place is the habitual "home" pitch of either participant
involved in the match, except as dictated below. As a general principle, TwinSpires
will refer to the Home team (host) and the Away team (visitor) in accordance with
the definition issued by the governing association for that particular
match/competition. Bets on matches played on so-called "Neutral pitches" will
remain valid regardless of whether such information has been detailed in the bet
offer and/or the positioning of the teams on the betting board/display. In those
cases where there is a discrepancy between the positioning of the
teams/participants on the official website and their placement on the betting
board/display, and such discrepancy causes a significant effect on the odds of the
match/competition TwinSpires will void the affected bets. Such eventuality is
contemplated only in cases where the discrepancy has a material and visible
effect on the odds. For example, in cases of swapped Home and Away teams in an
Ice Hockey match TwinSpires will void the bets. Nevertheless TwinSpires will
consider valid bets placed on events where the so-called home-field advantage is
not considered and in cases of neutral venues. Examples of such cases include but
are not limited to tennis tournaments, MMA fights, singles competitions in general,
or specific events such as the final/late stages of team competitions being held in
pre-established venues, like the Superbowl, the NCAA Final 4 or the Italian Football
Cup Final even if the location can be deemed as a potential customary "home"
pitch for either of the teams involved. In such cases, said events will be considered
as being played in neutral venues and all bets stand regardless of the positioning
of the teams/participants on the official website and their placement on the
betting board/display.
33)Information referring to gender of the teams, age groups and youth teams, as well
as various definitions of reserve teams (e.g. B and C teams), is to be treated as
supplementary information. The inclusion (or lack of) and correctness of such
information will not be treated as sufficient cause for the voiding of the offers
related to the match/event, given that this does not cause an obvious
inconsistency in odds offered.
34)While all necessary precautions are taken by TwinSpires to assure the most
faithful rendition of all components involved in a bet offer, it is to be assumed that
certain denominations could be represented differently due to different
interpretations deriving from adaptations into another language. Such linguistic
incongruence will not be treated as sufficient cause for the voiding of the offers
related to the match/event, given that it does not create uncertainty with other
participants. The same applies for denominations referring to events, team names,
sponsor names, etc.
35)In case of bets where there is reference to timeframes, they should be interpreted
in the following way: “within the first 30 minutes” will include anything happening
until 0 hours 29 minutes and 59 seconds; “between 10 to 20 minutes” will include
anything happening from 10 minutes and 0 seconds until 19 minutes and 59
seconds.
36)Unless listed either in conjunction with the bet offer, or else in the Sport Specific
rules, bets referring to event/match duration which include non-full integer digits
(E.g. 88.5 minutes or X.5 rounds) require the full completion of the full integer of
the listed duration for them to be considered won. For example: a bet on
Over/Under 88.5 minutes in a Tennis match will be settled as Over only if at least
89 full minutes are completed.
37)TwinSpires acknowledges that some bets might require the rounding-up of
percentages, units or other criteria which are decisive for the settlement of the
bet. Should that be the case, TwinSpires reserves the right to adjust and settle
accordingly.
38)Any reference to goals scored by specific players will not count if they are defined
as ‘own goals’ (scored in their own goals) unless otherwise stated.
39)Any reference to confederation, nationality or similar will be subject to the
definition by the governing association.
40)Any medals won by a team/nation per competition will count as one (1) single
medal regardless of the number of team members.
41)Offers referring to individual player performances' over a particular
period/tournament (example: Total Goals Scored by Player X during the World
Cup) or confronting performances from 2 individual players during the course of
the season (example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score most goals during
the season), require all listed individuals to be an active participant in at least one
more fixture applicable for the offer after bet acceptance for bets to stand. Bets
placed after announcements of injuries, transfers, trades, etc or any news which
can even potentially reduce the number of fixtures any listed player is eligible for
within the competition; thus altering the odds even just theoretically in favour of
any particular outcome without said odds having been adjusted to reflect the
current state of the bet, will be declared void.
42)Offers on whether certain individuals will be occupying a specified position/title/job
on a certain date (E.g. Minister X to still be Minister on date Y, Player/Coach to still
be with Team Y on Date Z) refer to the individual in question to hold (or
alternatively to be appointed in) the listed position uninterruptedly between the
time the bet is placed and the specified deadline. Should the individual for any
reason whatsoever leave the position before the specified deadline, the outcome
of the bet will be considered as not having happened. This is valid even in cases
where the individual is re-appointed/signed again in that same position/title/job
and even if on the specified deadline the individual is occupying once more that
same position/title/job to which the bet refers to. Settlements will also take into
account players signed on loan deals.
43)Any bets referring to “breaking” of records require the listed occurrence to be fully
accomplished. Equalling the record will not be considered as having fully
accomplished the feat. Only the listed occurrence will count for settlement
purposes.
