6.1 GENERAL
6. ASIAN HANDICAP
6.1.1
This is a market where a handicap is applied to the match in order to make the prices closer to Even Money.
6.1.2
The match favourite will be allocated a negative handicap represented with a (-) symbol and will have to win by more goals than the handicap in order to be a winner. The match outsider will be allocated a positive handicap which will be added to the final score. The handicap will be added to one side only. Half-time Asian handicap markets will be settled on the half-time result.
6.1.3
There are three types of Asian Handicap.
6.2 WHOLE BALL HANDICAP (e.g. (0), (-1), (-2))
6.2.1
The handicap is applied to the final result of the match and the team with the most goals after the handicap has been applied will be the winner.
6.2.2
If the number of goals for each team is level after the handicap has been applied, it will result in a push with the stake being returned.
6.2.3
For example: Spain (-2), Paraguay (+2). If Spain wins by three or more goals then all bets on Spain will be winners and bets on Paraguay will be losers. If Spain win by exactly two goals then all bets on the market will be pushed and the bet stake returned on both sides.If Spain win by exactly one goal, the match ends in a draw or Paraguay win the match then all bets on Paraguay will be winners and bets on Spain will be losers. The handicap (0) is the equivalent of the draw no bet market. If Spain wins the game then all bets on Spain will be winners and all bets on Paraguay will be losers. If Paraguay wins the game then all bets on Paraguay will be winners and all bets on Spain will be losers. If the match is drawn all stakes will be returned to the customer.
6.3 HALF BALL HANDICAPS (e.g. (-0.5), (-1.5), (-2.5))
6.3.1
The handicap is applied to the final result of the match and the team with the most goals after the handicap has been applied will be the winner.
6.3.2
For example: Liverpool (-1.5), Arsenal (+1.5). If Liverpool win by two or more goals then all bets on Liverpool will be winners and bets on Arsenal will be losers. If Liverpool win by exactly one goal, the match ends in a draw or Arsenal win the match then all bets on Arsenal will be winners and bets on Liverpool will be losers.
Split Ball Handicaps (e.g. (-0, -0.5), (-0.5, -1), (-1, -1.5)).
6.3.3
A split ball handicap is where the level of favouritism is between a half ball and a whole ball. In this case, the Customer’s stake is being split equally between the whole ball and half ball handicaps.
6.3.4
For example: England (-1, -1.5), Germany (1, 1.5). If the Customer places a £100 bet on England (-1, -1.5) then the Customer’s bet is split into two £50 bets. The first bet is on the Whole Ball Handicap (England (-1)) and the second bet is on the Half Ball Handicap (England (-1.5)). If England win by two or more goals then all bets on England will be winners and bets on Germany will be losers. If England win by exactly one goal then the stake on England (-1) will be refunded and the stake on England (-1.5) will be a loser. The stake on Germany (1) will be refunded and the stake on Germany (1.5) will be a winner. If the match ends in a draw or Germany win the match then all bets on Germany will be winners and bets on England will be losers.
6.3.5
Stakes being returned will show as being voided in the customer’s account.
6.4 IN-RUNNING ASIAN HANDICAPS
6.4.1
All bets on the Asian Handicap in-running market are settled according to the score line for the remainder of the game after the bet has been struck

For example, any goals prior to the bet being placed are ignored for settlement purposes. Asian Handicaps will only apply for 90 minutes match betting.

A shot is defined as any goal attempt.
19.9. Shot on target
A shot on target is defined as any goal attempt that: a) Goes into the net regardless of intent or b) Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but for being saved by the goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is the last-man with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the goal (last line block). Shots directly hitting the frame of the goal are not counted as shots on target, unless the ball goes in and is awarded as a goal. Shots blocked by another player, who is not the last-man, are not counted as shots on target.
19.10. Tackle
A tackle is defined as where a player connects with the ball in a ground challenge where he successfully takes the ball away from the player in possession. The tackled player must clearly be in possession of the ball before the tackle is made. A tackle won is deemed to be where the tackler or one of his team-mates regains possession as a result of the challenge, or that the ball goes out of play and is “safe”. A tackle lost is where a tackle is made but the ball goes to an opposition player. Both are deemed as successful tackles however, the outcome of the tackle (won or lost) is different based on where the ball goes after the tackle. It is not a tackle, when a player cuts out a pass by any means.
20.Correct Score at Minute X
This market offers the customer the chance to bet on the score in a match at the stated time (the stated time being the minute displayed on the selected market).

In the event of a dispute, the decision of BV Gaming’s data provider will be final, as detailed in Section 1.1.1.
In instances where we have a VAR review, the time of goal will be deemed to be the time we were first notified of the goal by BV Gaming’s data provider, not the time the goal was awarded by the VAR.
21. Combination Correct Score Multiples

If any part of the bet is made void, then the whole bet becomes void.

Any bets involving corners; only corners that are actually taken will count.
We reserve the right to cancel any bets placed at a price that is clearly wrong.
We reserve the right to cancel any bets placed on that selection where the wording of the bet description is wrong.
BV Gaming’s decision regarding settlement of all Bet Builder markets shall be final and binding.

The market “Team to score first across a specified number of events” will be settled via the official match clock at the time of first goal scored. For example, Team A scores after 10 minutes in a 2pm event, then Team B scores after 5 minutes in a 5pm event, Team B is deemed the winner.
For markets related to “Event with most goals” “Event with most corners” “Team with most goals” “Team with most corners” dead heat rules will apply in the result of any ties.
For any eventualities not covered by these rules, BV Gaming’s standard betting rules will apply.
22. Player Performance
This market offers the customer the chance to bet on the total points accumulated by a player during a match by completing any of the following
Player Starts = 1pt
Plays a minimum of 60 Minutes = 1pt
Defender Clean Sheet = 4pts
Midfielder Clean Sheet = 1pt
Defender Goal = 6pts
Midfielder Goal = 5pts
Forward Goal = 4pts
Assist = 3pts
Shot on Target = 1pt
Own Goal = -2pts
Concede Penalty = -2pts
Penalty Miss = -2pts
Yellow = -1pt
Red = -3pts
For every 2 Goals a Defender Concedes = -1pt
For example, If Robert Lewandowski (F) scores the only goal with his only shot on target in a 1-0 Barcelona win, he would accumulate 7pts (Player Starts 1pt + Plays a minimum of 60 Minutes 1pt + Forward Goal 4pts + Shot on Target 1pt = 7pts) for the match.
These markets are for 90 minutes only including injury time but NOT extra time or penalty shoot-outs.
