Baseball Betting Rules

Baseball matches must not be played to the end for bets to be valid. Bets will be paid according to the following rules:

1. Moneyline bets (or match result) are official after 5 innings (4.5 innings if the home team is winning). For official matches that are declared over before the completion of 9 innings, moneyline bets will be determined after the last full inning, unless the home team draws or takes the lead at the bottom of the inning, in which case the score will be determined at the time the game ends.

2. Runline (Handicap) bets become valid 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, all undecided runline wagers are settled as 'No Action'. If a baseball game reaches 9 innings or more and DOES NOT end (for example, if it is suspended due to rain or lack of light), runline bets will still be considered valid and will be settled according to rule 3 below.

3. If a game is suspended, abandoned, postponed or cancelled and does not resume at the same venue, all undetermined bets will be considered void.

1. In the event of an abandoned or suspended game, all undetermined bets will be considered void unless the match resumes at the same venue within 48 hours after its official start. All completely decided markets will be settled.
2. In the event of a postponed or cancelled game, all markets will be considered void during the regular season. In the event of a postponed game during the playoffs or post-season, all bets will stand for the rescheduled game. Any match that does not start at the scheduled time, but is played on the same day it was scheduled, will be considered a delayed start and not a postponement.

4. 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 event 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.

5. Game Totals Settlement - Total bets are official after 9 innings (8.5 innings if the home team is winning); in cases where it is already reached, refer to rule 4.a.)

a) In cases where the total for a particular game has already been reached, bets will be settled accordingly, regardless of whether the game is considered official.
Example: a) If the total for the Yankees/Red Sox game is 6.5 and the teams combine to score 7 runs in the first inning, bets on “over” will be settled as a win, while those on “under” will be considered a loss, regardless of whether the game is over.

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’

Example: If the total for the Yankees/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.

6. For the 5 Inning Moneyline and Runline, 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 5 innings total for the game has already been met, in which case wagers will be settled accordingly, regardless if the game is deemed official.

7. Wagers on suspended or abandoned games on line segments that are not official as per rules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 9 listed in this section will carry over if the game is resume within 48 hours of the official start time at the original venue.

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 a team wins the first two scheduled matches of the series and the third one is not played, the winner of the first two matches will be considered the winning bet.

9. US Baseball & Softball Mercy Rule - In the event of a Mercy Rule (one team has an unassailable lead) being called, Moneyline wagers will have action but Total/Runline wagers will be no action unless the result has already been determined.

10. Total & Runline wagers for 7 innings games – For games originally scheduled to only play 7 innings, such as College Double Headers, Runline wagers are official after 7 innings of play (6.5 innings if the home team is winning). If a game is called before 7 innings have been played, runline wagers are settled as 'No Action'. Total Wagers are official after 7 innings of play (6.5 innings if the home team is winning) or in instances where the total has already been determined.
