NFL moves Chiefs Dolphins to Friday night because of hurricane

[IE]

-- The game between the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs was rescheduled to Friday night to beat Hurricane Wilma's arrival in Florida.

The game will begin at 7 p.m. Friday instead of Sunday afternoon, which is about when Wilma is expected to hit Florida's southwestern coast.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said broadcast and television details were being worked out.

It's the third time since the start of the 2004 season that the Dolphins have rescheduled a home game because of a looming hurricane. Last year's home opener against Tennessee was played a day early because of Hurricane Ivan, and the Dolphins' Week 3 game with Pittsburgh was pushed back 7 1/2 hours by Hurricane Jeanne.

do sportsbooks cancel bets? This is my first year using a book, are all previous bets void?

 

[Big Daddy]

I believe most books cancel the bet if the game is not played on the specified date. You would have to put in a new bet for the Friday game.

Unless noted before a contest, all events must be played on the scheduled date and at the scheduled site to have action.

That's the rule at two books I use, didn't check any others.
