What are the Betting Selections?
In Exchange Omaha Hi, there are two markets which are available for betting for any given Omaha Hi game. The two markets each hold different types of betting selections. The first market is known as the main market and contains the betting selections for the Game Outcome, i.e. Hand 1, Hand 2, Hand 3 and Hand 4.
This market is known as a ‘Win Only Market’ and generally only a single selection will win (however it is possible for a dead heat to occur when the winning selections will be settled according to the dead heat rules).
The Side bets market is also a ‘Win Only Market’, however for this market each of the selections are mutually exclusive and therefore one of the selections will win, and the other selections will be settled as losers.
It’s also important to note that the main and side bets markets are two separate markets with commission on each charged at according to the standard Betfair commission charging model.
