    Are you high? Real world many places offer the draw.

    You're thinking of No Contests.

    Final results is where you get paid for correct result and lose for everything else.
    For example.
    Fighter A for decision
    Fighter B for decision
    Fighter A for ko/tko/dq
    Fighter B for ko/tko/dq
    Draw.

    IF it is just a regular moneyline and the result is a draw, it is a push but not on vbookie though.

    I understand.

    But usually they seperate it. Like Moneyline and totals without the draw listed.

    and then you have a section for final results wit the draw listed for much higher payouts since only one result can win.

    Blending Draw options with regular moneyline/total bets should adjust the lines for better odds for the rest of results since a draw will r@pe the regular bets.

    This is the 4th i got caught like this and usually is bc i forgot that vbookie works like that. In the future i will just got to remember have to put some money on draw on every potentially close fight to cover it. But it is just a suggestion though bc it feels bizarre to lose on a draw.

    If the Draw option is mixed in with regular moneylines/totals then it will force the players to bet on the draw every fight to protect their vcash. Some betters doesn't care for draws and will get hit everytime bc of it.

    If there are two sections then it wouldn't matter.

    "forced to bet on the draw to protect your vCash"? :blood

    Or, just accept having lost if you get it wrong. Or don't bet if you aren't sure and think a draw is a likely outcome (but not enough to bet on it).

    Just treat it the same as the fighter you bet on losing. If the options are Fighter A, Fighter B, or Draw, then a bet on any of those outcomes is either right or wrong (to the exclusion of the other two options) - same as if it was just Fighter A or Fighter B. :huh Not really hard to grasp.

    If the draw is an option they don't push, I know bet365 don't offer it on some of their fights (especially the more obscure ones) so it's A Vs B with the draw resulting in a void. If a draw is offered then the bet is usually a loss.
