Sportsbook Help: Baseball Wagering

---

Baseball bets will be marked as follows:

Listed pitchers: Both starting pitchers are specified. Listed pitchers must throw their first pitches for their respective teams or the bet is "No Action".

Action: Any pitcher may start for either team. However, if there is a pitching change Action wagers will be computed with opening price of the new pitcher.

Pitcher vs. Team: You may designate the pitcher you want to start for your team regardless of the other team's starting pitcher. If the listed pitcher does not throw the first pitch the bet is "No Action".

Team vs. Pitcher: You may pick a team regardless of the starting pitcher to start against other team's designated pitcher. If the listed pitcher does not throw the first pitch the bet is "No Action".

The wagering on baseball is done by laying or taking money odds. The minus (-) indicates the Favorite and the plus (+) indicates the Underdog

Example: White Sox +150 Indians -160 Bettor would lay $160 to win $100 on the Indians. Bettor wagers $100 to win $150 on the White Sox. On money odds whenever there is a minus (-) you lay that amount to win a dollar, where there is a plus (+) you get that amount for every dollar wagered.

When is a Baseball Game Official?

For wagering purposes, money line winners and losers are official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4 ½ innings. If a game is called, suspended or postponed, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning (any runs scored in the top of an inning, if the Home team does not have an opportunity to make 3 outs or take the lead in the bottom of the inning will not count toward the score, and the score will revert to the last full inning). Monies will be refunded if the game is tied after the completion of the last full inning. Events do not carry over to a future date, only the runs scored on the date the game was scheduled (or more if the game continues past midnight) count towards the wager.

Run-line Wagers must go at least 9 full innings to be official. If, for example, the game goes 10 full innings, it is tied, and the game is called, suspended or postponed the game will be graded as a tie with the appropriate winners and losers.


Special Baseball Rules:

When wagering on total runs (over/under) the game must go 9 full innings (8 1/2 if the home team wins) to have action. If a game is called, or suspended, the score will be determined after the last full inning. If, for example, the game goes 10 full innings, it is tied, and the game is called, suspended or postponed the game will be graded as a tie with the appropriate winners and losers.

Rules for run line wagers are the same as those for baseball totals.

Wagers on total runs and run lines will be refunded if:

a. Both listed pitchers do not throw at least one pitch
b. Game is not complete. (9 innings or 8 ? if the home team wins)

Baseball 5 Inning Rules

All wagers on baseball first 5 innings will be decided on the basis of the score at the end of five full innings.

If a game does not go five full innings, all first 5 inning wagers will be canceled.
