- Once the first 5 Innings are completed, Bet stands weither the game is completed or not.
Rules for Run Lines and Alternate Run Lines

Exhibition baseball information
As in Vegas, we post Lines on Pre Season-Game without Totals or Run Lines. In addition, a tie can occur (i.e. 3-3 final score) if both teams are tied at the end of 10 complete innings.
Special baseball rules
- When wagering on total runs (over/under) the game must go nine innings (8-1/2 if the home team is ahead) to have action. If a game is called, or suspended, the score will be determined after the last full inning (unless the home team score 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). Rules for the run line wagers are the same as those for baseball totals. Wagers on total runs will be refunded if a pitching change occurs prior to both listed pitchers throwing at least one pitch.
Baseball Grand Salami is decided by the total runs scored in all major-league games scheduled for that day. All scheduled games must go at least 8½ innings. If any scheduled game is canceled or postponed before the completion of 8½ innings, all wagers on the Baseball Grand Salami will be graded no action. Listed Pitchers are not recognized for the Grand Salami; all wagers will have action regardless of the starting pitchers.
Baseball wagers will be accepted in the following manner:
- Action - team against team, regardless of the starting pitcher.
- Listed - both specified pitchers - if starting pitchers are not exactly as listed on wagering display board, and/or your ticket, your wager will be deemed "no action."
- One specified pitcher - this is a wager on or against one specified pitcher, regardless of the other starting pitcher. (examples: "Boston versus Helling" for a wager against or "Helling against anyone for Boston" for a wager on) Note: in the event there is a pitching change prior to the game, money odds may be adjusted. If one scheduled pitcher starts against an unscheduled pitcher, "action" wagers will be computed by the opening price with the new pitcher. A pitcher is deemed a starting pitcher after throwing one pitch.
- If a game goes past 9 innings and is not completed (ie. suspended, curfew, rain delay, etc.) there is action on the game total and runline wagers.
- Las Vegas rules apply in the event of unusual or unmentioned situations.
Because of the money line used in baseball, there are no set payoffs for tying a number of teams together in parlays. Payoffs are determined by a simple formula that changes the money line into a decimal number and combines it with the other lines in the parlay. The first step is to change the money line into a decimal. Use the chart at the left for this purpose. For underdogs and even money lines, use exact decimal number, for example: +135 = 1.35, even = 1.00.
How to Figure Baseball Parlays:
- For each price or odds quote on your teams, look at their respective payoffs (to $1) and always add $1 to these payoffs.
- Multiply your bet (x)times the products of these payoffs (+$1) for your parlay return.
- Example: Bet $50 on Cardinals (-150) Parlayed to Tigers (-130) Bet Cardinals Tigers Return. (-150) (-130) $50 x 1.67 x 1.77 = $147.80 Return includes the $50 bet.
- Use the same method for any number of teams.Example: Bet $75 on Cubs (+120) to Reds (-135) to Mets (even) for 3 team parlay.Bet Cubs Reds Mets Return.(+120) (-135) (ev)$75 x 2.20 x 1.74 x 2.00 = $574.20(1.00 + 1.20) (1.00 + .74) (1.00 + 1.00)Return includes the $75 bet.
- Remember to always add $1 to payoff price to figure all parlays.

A golfer has started once he or she tees off on the first hole of the tournament.

Wagers will be decided by using the official tournament scores.
"Odds to Win"- Wagering on a golfer to win the tournament

2. The "Field" will be all players not offered by name.
3. In the event of a golfer withdrawing after having teed off, wagers on that player will be lost.
4. If a tournament does not go the scheduled number of holes (usually 72), and PGA Officials agree to shorten it, wagers are still valid.
"Match-ups"- Wagering on match-ups between golfers
1. In head-to-head match-ups, BOTH golfers must tee off in order to have action.
2. Golfers are paired for betting purposed only. The golfer with the lower score over the entire tournament is the match-up winner.

If a golfer withdraws, or is disqualified before the end of the round, the golfer with the most completed holes or the lowest score is the winner of the match-up.
We also might offer propositions and other futures on major events, in which case rules will be specified on each individual prop or futures.
Boxing
The judges’ decision on the night of the fight will be considered final and used when grading all wagers. If the decision is overturned at a later point in time, wagers will not be re-graded.
All bets on either fighter to win will be decided by the judges’ decision, which includes points count, technical knock-out (TKO), knock-out (KO) or disqualification.
If a match is postponed and rescheduled to occur within 30 days of the original start time, all bets stand. If rescheduled for more than 30 days later, all single bets are void and wagers refunded while affected multiple bets will be recalculated excluding that leg.
Normally, without the draw option available, when the match actually ends in a draw, all contestant wagers are "No Action", and all contestant wagers are refunded. However, when a "Three-way" format is posted, and the match ends in a draw, all contestant wagers are losers. The winning wager is the "Draw" wager.
* Las Vegas Rules apply for any rules not mentioned here.
Examples of "Draw" option bets:
Example 1.
Wager format presented to Bettor:
A Jones -140 vs. Smith +120
The bettor has the option of wagering on Smith or Jones only. In the event of a Draw, all wagers are refunded.
Propositions:
B Jones by KO 6/1 / Jones by Decision 3/1 / Smith by KO 4/1 / Smith by Decision 3/1 / Draw 28/1.
This is a list of separate betting options that includes odds on proposition predicting that the match will end in a draw. A winning wager on a draw option would result in a 28/1 payout, or $100 to win $2800.
Example 2.
Wager format presented to Bettor:
(A) Jones -140 / Smith +120 / Draw +1500
The bettor has the option to wager on Jones, Smith, or a Draw. In this instance, it would be stipulated by the sportsbook that in the event of a draw, any wagers on Smith or Jones would be loser due to the "Three-way" betting format. And Draw will be the winner and would pay $1500 for every $100 wagered.
Propositions:
(B) Jones by KO 6/1 / Jones by Decision 3/1 / Smith by KO 4/1 / Smith by Decision 3/1.
This is a separate betting proposition where the Draw would result in a refund for those who wagered on Jones or Smith by KO or Decision.
Other betting options:
"Total" number of rounds is often available as a proposition.
(1 full round is 3 minutes and ½ round is 90 seconds).
Example:
Will go 7½ Rounds +120 = Risk $100 to win $120.
Will not go 7½ Rounds -140 = Risk $140 to win $100.
The bettor can either choose the Over (Will go) or the Under (Will not go) number of rounds.
If the scheduled length of the match is changed, all prior wagers on the number of rounds will be graded as "No Action".
In round by round betting, if a boxer fails to answer the bell, the fight will be deemed to have ended in the previous round.
Auto Racing
Results will be graded at the end of the race as results become offical. Appeals and administrative penalties are not applicable for betting purposes.
Auto Racing "Odds to Win"
You may wager on a driver to win the race at fixed odds. Wagering on the "Field" includes any driver that odds have not been assigned to. Drivers who fail to start the race are still considered "having action" for wagering purposes.
Auto Racing "Match-Ups"
When wagering on a match-up, both drivers involved must start the race (cross the start/finish line) otherwise the wager is "No Action" or "Push/Cancel" and money is refunded. In a case where the starting driver is replaced during the race with another driver from the same team, the position the new driver finishes in will be awarded to the original driver. This holds for wagering on win odds and/or match-ups.
