In the case of Football and other Sports, bets are settled on the official result published by the Press Association (PA), immediately after the match/event is finished. If the PA amends their decision after this period, all bets will stand on their original result. If the result is not immediately available from the PA, the result published by the official governing body immediately the match/event is finished will be used for settling purposes. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes. Please refer to specific rules for individual events. A full results service is available at www.ladbrokes.com. We also offer a new racing service on 08712 445 100 at just 10p a minute*, which provides commentary for each UK racecourse and lists the day's horse and greyhound results. *Calls from mobiles may vary. Please check with your mobile provider for details. Related bets Multiplied odds do not normally apply for the same selection to win more than one event and the only bets available at the current odds are singles. We may have special prices available that apply to selected doubles, trebles, accumulators and so on. For example: - Warwickshire to win all four English county tournaments - Tiger Woods to win all 4 Major golf titles Please ask us for the special prices available. If we accept in error a bet made up of doubles, trebles etc. at the individual event prices, we will settle your bet at the special price available at the time you placed it. If a special price was not available, we will divide your stake equally as singles at the individual event prices available at the time you placed the bet. If you take a special double price for the same selection in two events and the selection does not take part in one of them, your bet will be settled as follows:
Non-Runners Sports bets are accepted 'All in compete or not' and if a player or team is withdrawn before they have taken part in the event (in any way), your bet is a loser.

If you have placed a winning bet on a sporting event when a different player or team is withdrawn, we may apply the equivalent to a Tattersalls' rule 4(c) to your winnings, based on the price of the selection withdrawn.

Number of runs per innings The result of this market is determined by the total number of runs scored by a team in the course of an innings.

Extras (wides, no-balls, etc.) count as runs in the innings. One Day Matches Bets on innings runs will be void if 80% of the scheduled number of overs of the innings is not played due to external factors (such as bad weather), unless settlement of bet is already determined.

If a batsman retires hurt and does not re-emerge to bat during that innings then the score amassed before injury is the final result. Test Matches If a batsman remains not out at the innings conclusion through a declaration or a team reaching their target then his score amassed is the final result. If a batsman's innings is curtailed due to external factors, such as bad weather, his final 'not out' score will count for settlement purposes.

Method of Next Dismissal The result of the market is determined by the method of the next dismissal of the team batting.

Runs scored off a particular delivery When betting in play on cricket games, we may offer bets such as 'A four to be scored off the 6th ball of the over'. For the purposes of such bets, every ball is counted, including wides and no balls. For example, if an over starts: Wide - No Ball - No Ball - Six, then the 'Six' is deemed to be the fourth ball of the over. No balls and wides, for settlement purposes, are "awarded" and therefore not "scored". Player to score 50/100 Players must take the crease for bets to stand. If a batsman remains not out then the match must have reached a natural conclusion for bets to stand.

In Test matches, only the runs conceded in the named innings will count. For limited over games, bets on bowler runs conceded will be void if 80% of the scheduled overs are not complete due to external factors (such as bad weather), unless settlement of the bet is already determined.

A typical market will be: Kerry (+2.5pts) 5/6 Dublin (-2.5pts) 5/6 If the final score in this fixture was Kerry 1 goal and 10 points (total points = 13) lose to Dublin 1 goal and 12 points (total points = 15) then to determine the handicap result simply add 2.5pts to Kerry's final score.
