Is it true that at least one well known bookie is refusing to pay out on Mayo’s win in the All Ireland semi final.
 
Know the rules before you place a bet with any bookmaker (or anybody else for that matter). If a game goes to extra time because of a draw at the final whistle, the match is usually declared a Draw. Whatever happens in extra time does not count on the bet made.
 
As leper said, it was a draw as per general betting rules which are based on normal time i.e no ET

I got stung by this myself.
 
Friendly Betting (gambling) even amongst friends can break friendships. Never assume anything when you place even a friendly bet. The wording of even a verbal bet can lead to disputes.
 
This is a carry through from soccer betting. The possibility of a draw is huge in soccer and betting is dominated by the "90* mins play" market, which allows seemingly generous odds to be available for the "win". So almost by force of habit Gaelic betting is primarily the 70* mins market. But the match market is also available at slightly worse odds.

* it is described as 90/70 mins but of course includes injury time but not extra time
 
The same bookie was quoting odds for a draw, so anyone placing the bet would have see all 3 odds. Mayo win, Dublin win, Draw.

If it included extra time/penalties the odds of draw would not exist
