If I bet a fight at minus 150, and it comes out a draw, do i lose my money??

I have been told yes by some and no by others. These are not dumb guys I am talking to. I would think that it would be unethical to take someones money in the event of a draw. However, I heard some books take it while others dont.

Most likely you get a push and your money back. Unless you bet a book that offered odds on a draw along with win/loss odds you should get a refund.

A typical fight odds matchup should look like this:

<TABLE id=tblPropFut onmouseover="changeto(event, '#F6C88F')" onmouseout="changeback(event, '#EEEEEE')" cellSpacing=3 cellPadding=0 width="100%" bgColor=#ffffff border=0><TBODY><TR id=ignore><TD colSpan=3>European Heavyweight Title: Luan Krasniqi vs Timo Hoffman

</TD></TR><TR id=ignore><TD class=contestRow width="15%" bgColor=#8fbdf6>Sat 12/4</TD><TD class=contestRow bgColor=#8fbdf6 colSpan=2>Luan Krasniqi vs Timo Hoffman </TD></TR><TR class=hiliteRow bgColor=#eeeeee><TD class=main_body_blk width="15%">12:00 PM</TD><TD class=main_body_blk width=auto>425 Luan Krasniqi</TD><TD class=main_body_blk width="25%"> -189</TD></TR><TR class=normalRow bgColor=#eeeeee><TD width="15%"> </TD><TD class=main_body_blk width=auto>426 Timo Hoffman</TD><TD class=main_body_blk width="25%"> +169</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>


In the case of a draw no one wins similar to a pick-em hockey game that ends 2-2.



wil.

You will get you money back from any REPUTABLE book. What you may be hearing is what Intertops does. They will post a line as follows: Boxer a-200; Boxer b +150; Draw-+300. It's a 3 way and if it draws and you DID NOT make a small saver play on draw, you LOSE. Do not do business with a shop that hangs up numbers in this manner. It's for suckers.

Good point.
