Wagering rules
Winners and losers are official after five 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. Events will
not carry over to the following day (unless otherwise specified).
We do not recognize suspended games, protest, overturned decisions,
etc, for wagering purposes, and all wagers must go the day written,
otherwise there is no action and all monies are refunded.

Exhibition baseball information
In Las Vegas, casinos that post lines on pre-season (exhibition)
baseball do not post total runs, nor do they list starting pitchers
for each team. 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 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 theng price with the new pitcher.
A pitcher is deemed a starting pitcher after throwing one pitch.

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
|
| -1.20 = .83 |
-2.00 = .50 |
| -1.25 = .80 |
-2.10 = .48 |
| -1.30 = .77 |
-2.20 = .45 |
| -1.35 = .74 |
-2.30 = .43 |
| -1.40 = .71 |
-2.40 = .42 |
| -1.45 = .69 |
-2.50 = .40 |
| -1.50 = .66 |
-2.60 = .38 |
| -1.55 = .64 |
-2.70 = .37 |
| -1.60 = .62 |
-2.80 = .36 |
| -1.65 = .59 |
-3.00 = .33 |
| -1.70 = .57 |
-3.25 = .31 |
| -1.75 = .55 |
-3.50 = .29 |
| -1.80 = .54 |
-4.00 = .25 |
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. |
