Pinnacle and Extra Time

[Rogerullo]

I need some feedback from punters who understand Pinnacle.      I placed a handicap bet with Pinnacle for +1,5 in rugby and the ticket read FT

The game was a draw which was a win for me in normal 80 min but went into extra time and the favorite won by 5.They re-graded the bet with the extra-time and sent me mail that I lost.

I know they're a bit quirky with these rules but am stunned by their inability to answer the fact that I played a 2 way bet and not a moneyline bet of 3 possibilities on 80 min full time.

I have read their rules but are they the only book that says full time includes extra-time?

Hi, what was the game out of interest, it would help add context to your query.

On the face of it their rules seem clear enough and it would appear your bet has been settled correctly.

Are they the only book to settle in this way (extra time counting for handicap purposes)? - No. If you want chapter and verse I suggest you google a sample of other companies' rules but I just looked at one firm's betting for this weekend's NRL action and the handicap lines clearly stated that they include overtime so it's certainly not unique. They have two way betting on the final outcome and 3 way including the draw in normal time but the handicap betting is only available including overtime.

I think this is simply a case of you not quite understanding the precise terms of what you were betting on rather than an error by the bookie.
