There are three ways to bet on baseball.
Action
Action bets are when you want to play team versus team, regardless of who pitches. If one of the original listed pitchers does not start the game (throw one official pitch, not counting warm-ups), there will be a new line and the price on your play will automatically be adjusted.
| Atlanta Braves |
Pitcher A |
-130 |
7 ½ |
| N.Y. Yankees |
Pitcher B |
+120 |
- |
Example: If you had a play on the Braves and "Pitcher A" did not start the game, the new line might be:
| Atlanta Braves |
Pitcher C |
-120 |
No Total |
| N.Y. Yankees |
Pitcher B |
+110 |
- |
List One Pitcher
Listing a pitcher is when you want to bet on or against a specific pitcher. If the pitcher you specify does not start the game, you have "NO ACTION" ( the play is cancelled). If the pitcher you specify starts but the other listed pitcher does not , you still have action with an adjusted line.
List Both Pitchers
Listing both pitchers is when you want both listed pitchers to start the game. If either or both pitchers do not start the game, you have "NO ACTION" ( the play is cancelled).
Totals And Run Lines
When a bet is made on a Total (over/under), Team Total OR the Run Line, both pitchers are automatically listed and both must start (Otherwise you have no action). This is the only way you can bet totals, team totals or run lines.
Official Game
For straight bets, a game is considered official after five innings of play (4 ½ if the home team is winning).
Thereafter, if a game is called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last FULL inning of play, unless the home team scores to tie or take the lead in the bottom half of the inning.
The score at the time the game is called then determines the winner.
When betting totals or run lines, the game must go nine innings (8 1/2 if the home team is winning). Extra innings are included in the final totals
