Spread Wagers (Run line)
A straight wager on the run spread. The team you wager on must cover/beat the run spread. The favored team must win by more than the minus spread value, while the underdog can win the game, or lose by less than the plus value. When wagering on a baseball game, you need to specify if you are doing so using the specific pitchers listed to start the game or NOT. If you bet on a game and don’t specify listed pitchers and there’s a pitching change, you’re stuck with the replacement. You will be subject to the odds changing as well.
Listed Pitchers
Both pitchers have to start the game and throw at least one pitch. If one or both pitchers don’t throw a pitch, your money is refunded, and your bet will be considered “no action.”
Action
If you select “action” on a game, you’re betting on the team, regardless of who pitches. However, you are subject to the new odds if a pitching change should come about.
Official Game
A baseball (side) bet becomes official for betting purposes after 5 innings of play or 4.5 innings if the home team has the lead. Should a game be suspended, the winning side is determined by the score after the last completed inning.
Totals
Totals must go the whole game to be considered action. The only exception is if a game goes 8.5 innings because the home team is leading after the top of the ninth inning. All “totals” use listed pitchers. A change in starting pitchers by one or both teams would be considered “no action” on a total.
Series
When betting on a team to win a series, the series is based on the first three games played. No other team/opponent can run in between the consecutive games of a series. If any game of a series gets canceled, the wager is deemed “no action”. All series wagers are based on action, not listed pitchers.
Grand Salami
A grand salami is betting the over/under for total runs scored by all MLB teams in a day. If any one game goes unplayed, the wager is deemed “no action”. If a game goes to extra innings, those innings are included in this bet.
Alternate Run Lines
The alternate run-line option allows you to choose what run-line (spread) option you want to wager. The odds increase/decrease depending on the run-line you choose.
