STOMPer Misleading feels that Singapore Pools can spell out the rules for the new '1x2' bet type more clearly. There is ambiguity over whether some bets should be considered a loss, for the recent Indonesia-Philippines football match for example, pointed out the STOMPer.

The STOMPer wrote:

"Singappore Pools recently offered a new bet type - Handicap 1x2 for the Suzuki Cup Tournament.

"The bet type came with three options. Example: Team A -1, Team A draw-1, Team B +1. The number of balls given will vary, and usually it is -1 or -2, offered by Spore pools.

"Take for example: today's semi final 2nd leg between Indonesia and Philippines.

"The plate offered by Singapore Pools is Indo -1,draw -1,Philippines +1.

"Eventually Indonesia won 1-0 and the winning bet is draw -1,

"However I feel that Singapore Pools didn't spell out its rule for this new bet properly.

"There's no argument on draw -1 being the winning bet, however Indonesia -1 isn't and shouldn't be deemed as a loss.

"Indonesia did win the game by 1 clear goal and punters on Indo -1 should be able to get a refund, instead of losing their bet.

"I like to add on: -1 and +1 shouldn't have been a losing bet.

"In such cases, -1 is not actually -1 but -1.5 and +1 is actually a +0.5 ball instead because of the draw handicap bet option.

"The problem lies in how the odds are indicated.

"They should indicate team A -1.5 draw -1 team B +0.5 instead of the 1 ball handicap."
