18.10.1 All MMA SGM selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser. Where a bet includes a selection resulted as void for any reason (such as a fight being ruled no contest after it has commenced), the bet will be settled in accordance with section 4: No Contest/Abandoned Fight.

18.10.2 For instance, selections on a fighter to get the most knockdowns, in a fight which ends with zero knockdowns, and even where a tie or draw option may not have been offered through Dabble’s SGM Product, will be settled as losers.

18.11.1 The winners of MMA fights will be resulted based upon the official result announced in the ring. Appeals or changes made to the winner after that point will not result in the fight being resettled (unless the change in question came from human error in the announcing of the result in the ring).

18.12.1 Where a fight does not take place as scheduled, and subsequently commences on the same calendar date (local time) as originally scheduled, all bets will stand. All bets placed on fights which are postponed or delayed beyond the calendar date of the originally scheduled time will be void, and stakes will be refunded. The exception to this rule is where fights have been made available for betting using expected or nominal times/dates, in which case they will be updated to the official schedule once it has been confirmed.

18.12.2 A substitution for one or both of the fighters in a match will cause all bets to be void and stakes to be refunded.

18.12.3 A pre-fight change to the scheduled number of rounds in a fight will cause all bets to be void, and stakes to be refunded. For the avoidance of confusion, the fight may be subsequently reopened in Dabble’s SGM Product with the amended number of rounds; if it is, bets placed from the point of that reopening will stand.

18.13.1 If a fight is rescheduled or cancelled prior to commencement, it falls within the 48-hour rule for postponed fights as described above. If it is abandoned or ruled no contest (NC) while the fight is ongoing, the following rules apply:

18.13.2 If every selection within a bet on the fight is already a winner where the fact of no contest/abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the bet in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg bet containing an over total knockdowns selection and one fighter to record a takedown, in a fight where the required knockdowns were reached and the relevant fighter did record a takedown before the fight was ruled a no contest or abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total significant strikes selection where a fight is ruled NC while the significant strikes total is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.

18.13.3 If a single selection of a bet has lost and a fight is then abandoned or ruled NC, the bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a bet including a fighter to record under 1.5 takedowns, in a fight where he/she recorded 2 takedowns before the fight was subsequently ruled NC, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the fight was subsequently abandoned or not.

18.13.4 If there are no losing selections within a bet and at least one void selection at the time of a fight being ruled NC, the bet will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at the point of the ruling/abandonment, and may have won or lost if the fight had been fully completed. For example, a bet including an over total significant strikes selection, in a fight ruled NC while the total significant strikes are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the NC, so the bet will be voided. Similarly, a selection on the fight to last over 1.5 rounds, or on the method of victory for the fight, will be resulted as void where the fight is abandoned/ruled NC before 1.5 rounds have elapsed.

18.14.1 Where a fight ends in a technical decision, fight winner will be settled as win/lose/draw, and Method of Victory will be settled as Decision. All other markets will be settled as per the abandonment/no contest rules above. Where selections have irrevocably concluded, they will be settled as a win or loss, but otherwise where they are undecided at the point of the fight stopping, and may have won or lost if the fight had been fully completed, they will be settled as void.

18.15.1 Settlements will be based upon the statistics and results provided by the official website of the event/league/competition/governing body (www.ufc.com for UFC).

18.16.1 What will the method of victory be? – The methods of victory for this market include:

18.16.2 Knockout (KO)

18.16.3 Submission:

18.16.4 Decision:

18.16.5 When will the fight end? – Decision victories do not count as wins for selections on a fight to end in round 3 of a 3-round fight, or round 5 of a 5-round fight. If a fighter withdraws or a doctor stops a fight in the period between rounds, the fight will be considered to have ended in the previous round for this market.

18.16.6 How long will the fight last? – These markets include selections on fight length by seconds, minutes or rounds.

18.16.6.1 Minutes: This market is offered in increments of 1 minute, starting from 0.5 (i.e. over/under 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 minutes, etc). Where a fight ends with the official clock showing exactly 30 seconds past a minute (e.g. 0:30, 1:30, 2:30), it will be deemed a completed half-minute for the purposes of this market, and the fight considered to have progressed to the next half-minute. For example, where a fight ends at exactly 3:30 in the first round, a selection on the fight lasting over 3.5 minutes will be settled as a winner, and a selection on under 3.5 minutes will be a loser.

18.16.6.2 Rounds: This market is offered in increments of 1 round, starting from 0.5 (i.e. over/under 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 rounds, etc). Where a fight ends with the clock at the exact halfway point of a round (e.g. 2:30 for 5-minute rounds), it will be deemed a completed half-round for the purposes of this market, and the fight considered to have progressed to the next half-round. For example, where a fight with 5-minute rounds ends at exactly 2:30 on the clock in the second round, a selection on the fight lasting over 1.5 rounds will be settled as a winner, and a selection on under 1.5 rounds will be a loser.
