Yesterday, Lithuania suffered the first loss in this year’s EuroBasket after the no-less-than controversial referee’s decision to count in the tie breaking tip-in that was made after the match was already finished. After having watched the replay of the final second, both the national team’s representatives and the fans have ascertained that Belgium’s Matthew Lojeski was still touching the ball after the buzzer had sounded.

After a meticulous analysis of the video recording, TonyBet basketball betting experts have decided that the fans of Lithuania’s national team cannot be left disconcerted and to support TonyBet players who believed in Lithuania’s victory in this arguably debatable situation.

“The first thing that we offer our clients is betting for basketball victories, and we believe that yesterday, Lithuania attained that victory. We have decided that half of the potential winnings will be paid out to all TonyBet clients that rooted for Lithuania’s victory. This is a very unconventional case, but the fans deserve this compensation,” says TonyBet basketball bookmaker Marius Zalensas.

According to a TonyBet representative, the clients that placed their bets on Belgium winning have already received their winnings. The winnings are also paid out for everyone who placed their bets on a tie. He has also noted that during the tournament the basketball fans were especially active and the total sum of the bets placed on Lithuania’s victory has broken all the previous records, so after such a mistake on the referees’ part, it would be nice to see the Lithuanian basketball fans waiting for the upcoming matches in a better mood.

“In this case, we have applied the “Dead Heat” principle, which means in a debatable situation part of the winnings are paid out to the players who have placed the bets on either of the opponents. We are hoping that we will all continue to fully support the national team and will watch it fight with pleasure, and that we will not be faced with such controversial moments in EuroBasket again,” said the TonyBet representative.

Also, because the number of players who have placed their bets on Lithuania’s victory are very high, 50% of the potential winnings will be paid out into the players’ accounts in the next 48 hours.

The money will be returned to everyone who has placed their bets before the match and to everyone who placed their bets live as well as to the clients who have placed combined bets in which the results of the Lithuania vs Belgium match were a decisive factor.
