Sportsbooks have issued refunds for losing wagers on a Las Vegas UFC fight after detecting suspicious betting activity.
Both William Hill and Caesars sportsbooks have issued refunds to bettors after Isaac Dulgarian saw his favourites drop from -250 to a less promising -150 in the hours leading up to his featherweight fight against Yadier de Valle.
The fight was removed from Westgate Superbook’s board after suspicious activity was detected. Vice president of race and sports John Murray said, “We did take bets on that fight, and the line movement was suspicious enough that we closed it on Saturday.”
Caesars Sportsbook Support and William Hill US told bettors on X “Mobile customers with losing bets on the Dulgarian UFC fight will receive a cash credit within 24 hours (singles), or within 24 hours of the last leg being determined (Parlay/SGP/Super Parlay) should that bet have won without that leg included.”
Both books added “Retail customers should hold their tickets for now.” It was confirmed to the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the UFC has since released Dulgarian from his contract.
