Voided means the action of nullifying or cancelling something. In the world of sports betting, a bettor can void a bet by hitting the exchange button before the end of the match. But what does it mean when the bookmaker’s odds change after the action is finished? Does the bet become unvoided? Does it disappear entirely?
The short answer is no. When the game ends and the final whistle blows, the game is over and the bet is settled. But the odds on the board don’t necessarily reflect that and can change in favor of or against the bettor.
Let’s examine the situation in more detail.
The Aftermath Of A Soccer Match
When the match ends and the final whistle blows, the game isn’t over yet. According to soccer rules, the players and coaching staff immediately start walking off the field and the assistant referees begin their signaling procedure. After a few minutes, the referee blows the whistle and the spectators begin leaving the stadium. The match officials collect the match balls and the winning team’s captain shakes hands with the opposing team’s manager. The game still has some time to be played and the fans may return for the second half.
As soon as the final whistle blows, the odds on the board start changing. If you’re betting in-play on a football (soccer) match at a reputable bookmaker, you’ll see that the odds start moving almost immediately after the final whistle blows. Some bookmakers will even wait a few seconds before updating their odds to make sure they get the interest of all their customers. While this is convenient for the bettor, it can be a pain in the neck for those who bet on sports they don’t follow closely.
If a fan decides to stay for the second half of the game after all, they’ll have to wait a while before getting their winnings. The odds won’t change for a few minutes while the bookmaker’s employees process the payment and credit the customer’s account. It can take up to an hour for the winning bet to show up on their account.
Fluff Ya Buttons
Do you ever visit a website and the buttons don’t work? That’s what happened to us at OnTheSnow.com a few months back. It was a Sunday afternoon and we were trying to check the details of a National Hockey League game between the New York Rangers and the Montreal Canadiens. After we clicked on a few of the buttons, none of them seemed to do anything. We tried again but the same thing happened. There was no point in continuing until we found the problem: the site was attacked by bots.
Bots are automated programs that navigate websites without human interaction. They’re used to steal accounts’ login credentials, flood betting shops with orders, and perform other malicious activities. While they’re usually not a threat to your personal safety, they can cause a lot of damage to your online profile and bankroll. If you’re a sports bettor, you’ll want to be on the lookout for bots because they can affect your betting outcomes.
What Is Voided In Betting?
As mentioned above, hitting the exchange button before the end of a soccer game means you’ve voided your bet. In layman’s terms, when you void a bet, you cancel or nullify it. After the game, the bookmaker will credit your account and the odds will return to how they were before you made the wager. But if you want to avoid any misunderstandings, it’s better to use the term “voided” in betting rather than “cancelled.”
The game of soccer is played on a field with dimensions of sixty-four meters by ninety-six meters. If you want to avoid any confusion, it’s better to use the term “voided” in betting rather than “cancelled.” This is because hitting the exchange button doesn’t mean your wager is over and done with. You can also choose to walk away without betting or change your mind at any point during the game. In this case, your wager is still considered valid and can be voided as soon as you hit the button.
Similarly, if you have a tennis game scheduled for later this month and you decide to postpone it to another time, you can hit the ‘delete’ button on your calendar to avoid future appointments with this date on it. If you delete a date in your calendar, the occurrence will be marked as “voided.”
The Importance Of Scrutiny
One of the most important things you can do as a bettor is to be on the lookout for suspicious activity and report it to your bookmaker as soon as possible. If you do this, you’ll be helping to protect your bookmaker from fraudsters and hackers who want to cause damage either to your financial security or the reputation of your bookmaker. Just remember: it’s not your responsibility to protect the bookmaker’s interests, but you’re fully within your rights to do so.
To prevent yourself from being scammed, it’s important to do your research online before meeting in-person with a ‘potential’ seller of any product or service. This way, you’ll be sure to be protected both physically and financially. Similarly, if you’re purchasing an expensive gift for a loved one, it’s essential that you do your research online to be sure that the product you’re choosing is of good quality. Thanks to the vast amount of information available online, this is a lot easier to do than it would be if all you had access to was a small handful of ads in a newspaper. The key is to perform as much research as possible so that you can make an informed decision and have a clear understanding of what you’re purchasing.
In some cases, scammers will pose as professionals from IT support companies who have been hired to help fix technical errors on your behalf. They’ll tell you that there’s been a mistake and ask you to pay for their time. Instead of fixing the problem for you, they’ll pocket your money. To avoid becoming a victim, be sure to ask for references and contact the IT support company directly to get the true story behind the bill.

Walking Away Without A Bet
Of course, hitting the exchange button before the end of a soccer game means you’ve walked away without a bet. In this case, your winnings will be credited to your account and the odds will return to how they were before you made the wager. But if you want to avoid any misunderstandings, it’s better to use the term “voided” in betting rather than “cancelled.” This is because hitting the exchange button doesn’t mean your wager is over and done with.

Walking away without a bet is a popular choice with bettors because it’s easy to do and it prevents disputes in case there’s a problem with the odds being displayed. In some cases, this is also the most convenient option for the bookmaker because they don’t have to worry about the bet being disputed or going bad.
The Importance Of Being Confident
In some cases, scammers will try to trick you into giving them your personal and financial information. To avoid falling for these tricks, it’s important to be confident in your decisions and not to be afraid to speak up if you’ve been wronged. Similarly, if you’re purchasing an expensive gift for a loved one, it’s essential that you do your research online to be sure that the product you’re choosing is of good quality. Thanks to the vast amount of information available online, this is a lot easier to do than it would be if all you had access to was a small handful of ads in a newspaper.
