Unless otherwise stated all bets on Specials markets are all-in run or not.
Election betting
All betting within a given election is singles only. Accumulative bets accepted in error will be settled as singles with the stake apportioned.
Settlement of all bets will be based on the total votes cast on the day of the election.
Bets on who will win the Election will be based on the party that wins the most seats. The Speaker, if seeking re-election, will not count.
US election
All bets are settled on the winner of the election and not on the person who is inaugurated.
Eurovision song contest
Settlement will be based on the official results. Where applicable Dead-Heat rules will apply. In match or group betting all countries must participate otherwise bets are void. Bets are settled as losers if a country does not finish a competition, e.g. through disqualification.
Snow on Christmas day
Snow to be recorded at the London Weather Centre for London or city airports for all other cities on dates displayed.
Reality shows
Bets will be settled on the official results. If two or more participants are evicted in a specified eviction market and the order of eviction is clear then this will be used for settlement purposes. If the order of eviction is unclear then Dead-Heat rules will apply. Evictees and walk-outs will be settled as losers. A contestant leaving by other than an eviction before a nomination round has taken place will be deemed a Non-Runner for that eviction and a Deduction rule may apply. Others may be added to the market at any time.
X Factor
If two or more are evicted in a single X Factor show then Dead-Heat rules will apply.
