If you placed a bet on a
Formula One driver for the past weekend at
online casino
Sportsbook.com, this may
concern you. Online casino wagers placed on the
fourteen drivers that did not start are being
refunded.
At
this weekend's
U.S. Grand Prix, only 6 of the 20 cars started.
It seems that a a dispute between Michelin and
the Federation Internationale De L'Automobile
took place involving usage of hazardous tires.
A
ll
wagers placed on the drivers that were unable to
race are being reimbursed to the online casino
players that placed them at Sportsbook.com, even
though the drivers did participate in the
warm-up.
There were only six cars
that were using an other brand of tire enabling
them to actually compete in the race. This
definitely threw online odds makers into a
frenzy.
Michael Schumacher won the
race, only racing against 5 others. Online
casino bettors weren't the only people upset by
this, think of the many fans in the stadium in
Indianapolis. We won't talk about the things
these fans were chucking onto the track after
learning of the dispute.
Online casino sportsbooks
take in tons of bets for race car events. They
are very popular with online casino players. It
seems that while disappointed, online bettors
are happy with the sportsbook's decision to
step-up and refund their money.
No word on whether
ticket holders in the
stadium were as lucky.
Online casino race fans
won't have to wait long for the next chance to
place a bet online, odds on the French Grand
Prix should be available late Wednesday.
