Sportsbet has announced it is refunding bets on the ODI World Cup Final after slamming the boundary countback result as an “absolute disgrace”.
According to the online gambling company:
“After one of the most dramatic nights in sporting history, Sportsbet is refunding punters who backed New Zealand after the farcical finish to the 2019 World Cup.
“In all, 11,458 Sportsbet punters have been refunded $426,223.
“Punters who backed New Zealand in both the head to head and the outright tournament market will be refunded their stakes in bonus bets.
“‘Let’s not beat around the bush, for a World Cup to be decided in that manner is an absolute disgrace, and the punters shouldn’t have to pay for the ineptness of the ICC,’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Rich Hummerston.”
England may have "won" the World Cup but it's OK, we're refunding all bets on New Zealand. #CWC19 #ENGvNZ pic.twitter.com/o9Gzy1EZQK
