2. You bet a a superbowl future on Den +3 vs Sea. The Pats beat the Broncos this week and the SB is played between NE and Sea. Are you still on the hook for Denver +3 in the SB even though they're not playing?
Assuming these are prop bets similar to this pool, I don't care about rules at various bookies etc:
1, the line stands at -300. You can buy out, partially or fully, if the other agrees or there is some implied (by past betting, for eg) or a specifically stated clause that allows that. The exception is if you state you are betting at the bookies' line, regardless of how it changes. If injuries are not specified as part of the terms they don't void the bet.
2 I don't understand the terms exactly. Assuming I am interpreting correctly you bet two teams will play but they don't for some reason, in that case the bet is void. The equiv here is VKM deciding to not do a rumble match, or the ppv is canceled due to the bad weather, power is cut etc.
