Unusual bets and prop wagers
Can a bet on 'the first person to say wow' be settled from subtitles?
Direct answer
Only if the contract defines the broadcast feed, language, timing and authoritative transcript; automated subtitles can be wrong.
How to use this answer
This is a reasoned general answer rather than a confirmed bookmaker ruling or a claim about an event that has actually occurred. Exact cases need the facts supplied by the organiser or operator.
Novelty and prop markets depend on their written definitions. Find the precise wording, qualifying period and published result source; an ordinary sporting rule does not always decide how a novelty bet settles.
This is a practical or editorial answer; no universal operator rule is claimed.
