Betting on a player just for them to get injured mid-game is like being at a bar, spotting a 10/10, making your move… and then realizing they’re leaving with their actual boyfriend. Brutal. 
So, here’s the deal—it really depends on the sportsbook. Some bookies have "void if injured" policies, meaning if your player doesn’t complete the game, they might refund your bet. But most of the time? Tough luck, my dude. If they step onto the field and play—even for a minute—your bet stands.
For example, if you’ve got an over/under bet on their stats (points, goals, yards, etc.), and they get injured early? You're likely holding a losing ticket.
Some books will void bets if the player never actually plays at all, but once they’re active, it's game on.
Same with first touchdown scorer or first basket bets—if they get hurt before scoring? That’s a straight-up L.
Best way to dodge this nightmare? Check the sportsbook’s rules before placing bets, or hedge your bets with live betting to adjust as the game unfolds. Ain't nobody got time for injuries ruining a perfect parlay.
Anyone else had a bet killed by an injury before? Let’s hear some horror stories!
