What about a first ball option that the bowler bowls the ball onto the batsmans balls, the batsman then falls over in pain and lands on his wickets and in the process destroys the snicko equipment used in the DRS the zing bails break in half and the stump with the camera in it needs throwing away as it' has snapped in two.
Meanwhile the umpire calls the ball dead as he had not called play.
The match has to be called off as the equipment needs replacing
All the above at a special price just for you Loopy, let's say 500/1. You wanna bet?

IMO, the fact that leg byes are an option even though 4 leg buys are scored the correct winning bet would be leg byes and not 4 runs.
However. On the same market runs can be scored off a no ball. If a no ball was bowled and it was scored off by whatever means does it mean regardless of what is scored the no ball overrides everything else?
The Description as posted directly from screen capture on Hollywood Website states: FIRST BALL OFF THE MATCH.
IMO:
A bet is placed on the outcome, not the method. The outcome was 4 RUNS off the first ball of the match. Hence, as an ordinary punter, Id deem this to be a winning bet.
The other point where its now about Bye or Leg-Bye - this is a technicality. Simply because in lay terms, this simply states ONE run scored through the method of a BYE. It does not state BYE/S.
In another scenario, a bookie can easily decline paying out a bet if this was 2 Leg Byes or more simply because the bet description said BYE and not the plural.

Check at the end of any innings ....the SCORE is made up of RUNS attributed to batsman + EXTRAS = Score
I don't understand. How can extras not be runs. A team scores 300 all out of which say 20 are extras. So what you are saying that there are 280 runs plus 20 extras. Why don't you think that extras are not runs? Is is because they never ran them? If that's the case then a six should not go down as runs as the batsman did not run them.

I thought you said you were a scorer???????....Runs are credited to batsmen (including boundaries) ,extras aren't... they remain extras forever!!!!!!
(and yes ....check the papers tomorrow ...in your example runs would be 280 and 20 would reflect as extras .....spot on!)
RobF is correct........they are EXTRAS not runs................Neser (batsman) was only credited with 1 run in his whole innings!!
0.1
Neser to Klinger, 4 leg byes, not a great start for the Strikers. Quick on the pads, clips Klinger's pads and races away down to the fine leg fence
The total of a game is made up of Runs Plus Extras (no balls, byes, wide's etc)....
From the actual scorecard one can see it was extras NOT runs.........

Extras ARE runs - they're just added to the total score separately. The total score is made up of runs whereby a batsmen hits the ball. Extras are the exact opposite of this - any event where the batsmen does not hit the ball with his bat.
Quite right but at the end of the day they are added to the rus scored by batsman giving you a total amount of runs scored. At the moment SA are 85/0 which it states on the screen one of which is an extra. So going by what you said the score should be 84/0 and that extra run should only be classified as a run at the end of the inning. How many times have you heard the commentator say and the top score was extras.
