Baseball Betting Rules

Baseball games do not have to be played to completion for wagers to have action. Wagers will be settled according to the following rules:

1. Moneyline wagers are official after 5 innings of play (4.5 innings if the home team is winning). For official games that are called before 9 innings, moneyline wagers will be determined 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 score is determined at the time the game is called.

2. Runline wagers are official after 9 innings of play (8.5 innings if the home team is winning). If a game is called before 9 innings have been played, runline wagers are settled as 'No Action'. If a baseball game goes 9 or more innings and is NOT completed (e.g., suspended, rain, or darkness), wagers on the runline still have action and are settled according to rule 3 below.

3. In the case of a game that is suspended or canceled in extra innings, the score will be determined 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 score is determined at the time the game is called.

Player Propositions in the case of a suspended game will be settled according to the following rules:

Batters – 9 innings or 8.5 innings (home team leading) must be played for wagers to have action, unless at any point before this mark, a player in the starting lineup is substituted and/or result has already been determined. Any undetermined results before this mark will be deemed void.
Pitchers – 9 innings or 8.5 innings (home team leading) must be played for wagers to have action, unless at any point before this mark, a starting pitcher has completed his outing and has been substituted and/or result has already been determined. Any undetermined results before this mark will be deemed void

4. Game Totals Settlement - Total Wagers are official after 9 innings of play (8.5 innings if the home team is winning) or in instances where the total has already been met, see rule 4. a)

a) In instances where the total for a particular game has already been met, wagers will be settled accordingly, regardless if the game is deemed official.

Ex. If the total for the Yankees/Red Sox game is 6.5 and the teams combine to score 7 runs in the first inning – wagers on the over will be settled as a win and those on the under will be settled as a loss, regardless of whether the game is completed.

b) If the total is NOT met in a game that is cancelled or otherwise postponed before being considered official (9 innings or 8.5 if the home team is winning), all wagers will be settled ‘No Action’

Ex. If the total for the Yankess/Redsox game is 6.5 and the teams combine to score 4 runs through 5 innings but the game is postponed due to bad weather, all wagers will be settled as ‘No Action’

Extra Innings - If a baseball game goes 9 or more innings and is NOT completed (e.g., suspended, rain, or darkness), wagers on the total still have action and are settled according to rule 3 above.

5. For the 5 Inning Moneyline and Run Line, wagers are official after 5 complete Innings or 4½ if the home team is winning. For the totals, the full 5 Innings must be completed for the bet to have action unless the total for the game has already been met, in which case wagers will be settled accordingly, regardless if the game is deemed official.

6. In the event of a pitching change prior to the game, the runline and totals are deemed 'No Action'. NOTE: You have two options when wagering on the moneyline:

Action: A straight up bet regardless of who throws the first pitch. Odds will be adjusted according to the opening price of the new pitcher.
Listed: You will receive the risk amount back if the listed pitcher you have selected does not start the game. You may specify whether one or both pitchers must throw the first pitch.
In the event of a pitching change prior to the game, Proposition wagers that directly involve the pitching change will be deemed 'No Action'.

7. Wagers on suspended games on line segments that are not official as per rules 1, 2, 4 and 8 listed in this section do not carry over to a later date; this includes games that are included in a double-header the following day (reduced to 7 inning games). In this case players will need to replace their bets on the new double-header event.

All wagers on games originally scheduled for 9 innings that reduce to 7 innings and become part of a doubleheader the following day due to the game being suspended, will be voided.

8. Series Prices - Wager is on first three games of the Series. First two games must be played on scheduled date.

If either are Postponed, Suspended or no winner is determined wager is No Action (regardless of third game).
If team wins first two scheduled games of series and third isn't played, winner of first two games is winning wager.

9. Non-US Baseball & Softball - In the event of a Mercy Rule (one team has an unassailable lead) being called, all bets will have action based on the score at that time.

In the event of a match ending in a tie, ML bets will be graded 'No Action', unless the option of a tie was offered, and all other markets will be settled accordingly based on the final result.

10. Both Teams to Score "X" Runs - Game: on this market all selections will be winners if both teams scored “X” runs. (Both teams reach required number of runs is settled as the winner)

If game is called/suspended with a tied score and the game requires a winner, bets on Both Teams to Score the Next Number will be void.
- Example: MLB Game is called/suspended at 4-4 after 10 innings, all bets on "Both Teams to Score 5/6/7/etc. Runs" will be void.
