Baseball Betting - Typical Wagering Rules

Winners and losers are official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4 1/2 innings.

If a game is called, or suspended, 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). Monies will be refunded if the home team ties the game and it is then suspended.

When wagering on total runs (over/under) the game must go 9 innings (8 1/2 if the home team is ahead) to have action.

Wagers on total runs will be refunded if a pitcher change occurs prior to both listed pitchers throwing at least one pitch.

Rules for Run Line wagers are the same as those for baseball totals.

If a game goes past nine full innings and is not completed (I.E. suspended, curfew, rain delay, etc) there will be action on Total and Run Line wagers.

A pitcher is deemed a starting pitcher after throwing one pitch.

Teams must play for there to be action, all wagers included, all leagues included.

Events will not carry over to the following day (unless otherwise specified).
