Spits, you are bringing a very good question because the same thing happened to me in nascar at the beginning of the year. You can ask to Big tease and Jack. They sure remember that! I took Hakkinen and i lost. In nascar i had a match up again dale earnhart jr and he crashed BEFORE the first lap. Nothing to say that i was please 'cause i though i had a winner! WRONG!!!! My offshore on that time was ESB and they NEVER want to pay me 'cause they told me Vegas didn't put it as a winner because the racer didn't have one lap and put it as a no action. I was quite upset and brought that question on this board. Big Tease told me he has been paid (or knew people who has been paid) and Jack told me it was AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BOOKS! Despite my arguing with ESB, they told me NO ACTION and that's it! I was so mad at them (their customer service suck!) i close my account there. Now, in F1, probably they don,t have that rule (about one lap but whatever, i'm sure any books now decide to not pay for any match ups if a racer is out before the first lap. You lose in both way so that suck...
I even didn't check this when Hakkinen was out 'cause i knew i was cooked...
If anybody know a place where they have put this as a no action please tell me!
Spits, the thing is, when you choose a match up, cross your finger for the first lap!!!
