5Dimes Ruling On 'Best Of Seven Series Outright Winner' Up In The Air

This was alerted to me from Eric on Twitter:

'5Dimes not grading best of 7 series bets till October 9, night of No Mercy'

This is interesting for a few reasons.

Firstly, the rules of the wager stated that the wrestler must win four matches of the best of seven for there to be action. As we now know, the seventh match was a no contest. Therefore, I can see an argument being made that there was no fourth win in the seven bouts. However, with the ruling being a 'no contest', WWE could go on to state that match seven will be a 'replay' or something. It'll be interesting to see what happens if WWE rewords the series to 'Best of 8' now that there have been seven bouts contested.

Added to this is the date that 5Dimes.com has given for the bets to be graded. The No Mercy show is a Smackdown branded PPV, so - if the match were to happen within the next fortnight - it will be on Raw and not at No Mercy.

This will be one to watch in the coming thirteen days.

  1. 5dimes already ruled my bet as "Cancelled" in a 4 match parlay I had.

    1. You bet on last night's match, right?

      What Eric is referring to is a 'Series Winner' market that was up in August where customers could wager on the outright winner.

  2. I talked with them for almost 30 minutes last night trying to explain to them the situation. My thinking was the bet was titled "Best of 7 Series." If the 7th match ends in a draw/no contest or whatever you want to call it then in my thinking a "push" should apply and all money returned. Makes no sense that they would tell me that the bet would be settled on October 9th (night of No Mercy since that is a smackdown PPV.) I was left still with a ton of questions after talking to them.

    1. Here's a crazy idea..

      The series is classed a draw, so both Cesaro and Sheamus get a title opportunity against The New Day!

    2. Sheamus did say that Cesaro is a great competitor and had good words for him on the preshow last night. Could work out!

    3. Oh look... a tag match on Raw...

  3. Foley on raw just said "best of 7 series ended in a draw." 5Dimes should return all wagers placed on this.
