Why void rules differ between books
There is no central authority. Each operator writes its own settlement terms, so the same abandoned event can be a void at one book and a settled result at another.
Settlement rules are contract terms rather than sporting facts. The league decides what happened; the operator decides what that means for a bet.
Most books converge on similar rules for common situations, and the differences appear at the edges — which is where the disputes are.
What follows from that is less comfortable. This is the least-read section of any terms page and the one that decides money most often, and it is only ever read after it has cost somebody something.
What to do with it. Read the settlement rules for the specific markets you bet, at the specific books you use, before you need them.
