Betting Rules

Baseball

All games must start on the scheduled date (local time) for bets to have action. If a game has been postponed or cancelled before its due start time then all bets are deemed no action.

Non-MLB baseball - no listed pitchers and all bets are action regardless of who pitches for each team. 8½ innings rule applies although in the event of a 'Mercy Rule' being called, all bets will stand on the score at the time.

In 2-way markets push rules apply unless otherwise stated below. Stakes on single bets are returned, and in multiples/parlays the selection is treated as a non-runner.

MLB wagers
It is the client's responsibility to ensure they are aware of any relevant pitcher changes. For game side/total/run-line betting there are three options to choose from:

Action - team against team regardless of the starting pitcher. Each team's starting pitcher is defined for wagering purposes as the pitcher that throws the initial pitch. Pitchers can be specified when placing wagers.

One specified pitcher - a wager on or against one specific starting pitcher regardless of the other starting pitcher. Specified pitcher must start or wager is deemed no action.

Listed pitchers must start - a wager that specifies both starting pitchers. Any variation constitutes no action. Wagers with ‘One specified pitcher’ and ‘Listed pitchers must start’ that were placed when the named pitcher was originally listed are no action if the listed pitcher is changed and is then re-listed back to the original pitcher.

Wagers placed on the named pitcher, after being re-listed, are action.

In the event of a change in one or both starting pitchers prior to the start of a baseball game then the side/total/run-line betting may be adjusted. If one scheduled starting pitcher starts against an unscheduled starting pitcher, or both starting pitchers were unscheduled, then all 'action' and live 'one specified' pitcher wagers will be computed at the opening price/line established with the new starting pitcher(s).

Double pitching change, where a listed pitcher is changed then re-instated for betting purposes, bets will be treated as a normal pitching change.

A regulation game in both games of a double-header shall consist of seven innings, unless extended because of a tie score. In this response, the "Extra Innings" rule shall apply to each half-inning following the completion of the seventh inning.

Moneyline/total/run-line - 8½ innings rule applies although in the event of a 'Mercy Rule' being called, all bets will stand on the score at the time.

4½ innings rule
If a game is 'called', or suspended, winners and losers for betting are official after at least 5 full innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4½ innings. If a game is 'called', or suspended etc, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning (unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called). Please note that suspended games do not carry over.
