Kambi Voids Time Bets On No Mercy 2016 Main Event

Kambi Sportsbooks have voided all time prop bets that were placed on tonight's WWE No Mercy main event.

The sports betting companies had installed the market on Friday where customers could bet on the match going '22 minutes or over' or '19:59 or under'.

When I became aware that customers had received their stakes back, I looked back at the rules of the bet and can sort of see what has happened.

The rules read: Stakes will be refunded in case no bell is rung to signal the end of the match, no decision is announced or the match is restarted, given that the actual match duration has not already been exceeded. In such cases bets will stand and will be settled accordingly. Bets void should there be any change from the advertised participants.

During the bout, Dean Ambrose and John Cena both appeared to forced AJ Styles to submit. A bell was sounded, but the referee called for the match to continue.

It wasn't restarted, but that bell played a part in ruining the bet from being a winner. The bet states that it was 'Match duration from bell to bell' and the middle bell seems to have forced the bookmakers to cancel all wagers on this prop.

Wade Keller, who is running a live report of the event on the Pro Wrestling Torch Website, recorded the time at 22:00 minutes, so - had the bell not sounded following the teased finish, the 'Over' would have hit to the second.

Update: Stingersplash has actually followed up and noted that his timing of the match was set at 21:30. Therefore, had the bookies settled this, it would have been a win for '21:59 and under'.

    I feel this IC match is on before Randy vs Bray so that Randy can send the crowd home happy

      Surely 'ring appearence' includes on the ring itself...

      Another fine line bet where I'm concerned. I have both of them so have my fingers crossed!

      I was on live chat to them for ages and they was sticking to their 'they didnt get in the ropes'. It should say in-ring appearence then not ring appearence surely... Ohh wellll

      They have 'Must actually appear in the ring' as the rule. That's why I thought it was going to be a fine line call.

      On another note, it seems WWE did amazing to convince most people Ziggler was retiring. Gokd job david for sticking with your original thoughts of ziggler winning

    Shane said on Talking Smack that the match was restarted.

      Shane was wrong.

      Match didn't end as there was no winner announced.

      It was all to do with the bell.

      WWE.com wrote that the referee 'could not declare a winner, instead ordering the match to continue'.

      Ref didn't even ask for the bell to be rang either
