What happens when a boxing match ends in a draw?
Every bet offered to the public must have a winner that could be bet on. Sports books cannot take in money on both sides and claim that nobody wins. A straight bet between two fighters will result in a refund if the fight ends in a draw. Be Careful: • Some casinos will offer a three-way straight bet with draw being included. Example: Holyfield -155 Lewis +135 Draw 3-1 In this case you would lose because the book gave you a chance to bet a draw. A more common form is when the book offers proposition bets that have a draw listed. If the fight ends in a draw and you picked a fighter on the proposition bet, then you lose.
