    Void Bet

    A bet that is cancelled with the stake returned.

    Full Explanation

    A void bet is a wager that is cancelled and the stake returned to the player. Common reasons for voiding bets include: event cancellation, player withdrawal before a match, obvious pricing errors, and rule violations. In accumulators, void selections are removed and the bet recalculated at reduced odds. Understanding void bet rules helps manage expectations about payouts.

    💡 Example

    3-leg accumulator where one match is postponed. Void leg removed → bet recalculated as a 2-leg accumulator.
