If I get screwed on this BoSox/Twins Over....

[Dbldown11]

The score is 10-1 right now and delayed in the bottom of the 7th. And i've got the OVER 9. If they call this game my book is telling me it will be a push because totals can only be graded if the full 9 innings (8.5 if home team is winning) are played..

WHAT? Whether the game finishes or not IT IS OVER 9 FOR GOD SAKES!!!!!!!!!!


I will be extremely pissed off

[laxdjock]

Wow...that is lame.

[EaglesPhan36]

That's pretty standard. I am in the same boat.

Some books are bullsh!t. That happened to me once and I was hot. I mean, it already went over before the game ended so how is it not good to go. How can you make an excuse to not pay out for that...

[VegasDave]

It is unfortunately the standard... it would give an unfair advantage to "over" bettors if it wasn't graded this way.

If a game gets rained out and made final in a 1-0 ballgame in the 7th inning, the over gets a push (because there COULD have been much more scoring), and unders get the push as well despite looking on their way to a comfortable victory.

[mcbaseball10]

How pissed would you be if you bet the under of a game that was shortened due to rain? Just goes both ways.

[Dbldown11]

I know what you guys are saying Vegas Dave and mcbaseball.....but it's not the same at all

If a game is 2-3 in the 7th and someone bets the under 10 and it gets called....They dont have an argument because it COULD go over.

However in this situation it is IMPOSSIBLE for this game not to go over whether completed or not.......so the unders should be graded a loss and the overs graded a win....seems pretty simple to me

[Dbldown11]

I see no way they are going to finish this game either since it's 10-1 bottom 7 and they have to play a double header...They will leave the tarp on till the night game so they have a decent field to play on...

****ING BULLSHIT

[OperatorX]

it seems pretty simple to me too, thats bullshit.. i hope the rain stops for ya.

I agree that it "isn't the same thing", but under this logic why would you ever bet unders?

a 0-0 game in the bottom of the 8th could still go over 10. You could never win a wager on a shortened game on an under, but either get a push or a win on the over.

Why would anyone ever play an under?

[VegasDave]

By the way, I'm not saying you shouldn't be frustrated, it is total bullshit and you deserve a win.

But you can't really blame the book is all I'm saying.

[EaglesPhan36]

Roll with the punches.

If this happened last inning, you'd (ME too) probably have taken it when it was 6-1 with no guarantee of more runs. Just so happened that the BoSox got to the pen.

[mcbaseball10]

Agree wih Dave, it sucks..sorry man

[Dbldown11]

That's a good question vegas dave....and my answer is. I dont know why anyone would bet unders hahaha.

I personally never do haha. And I'm not neccessarily blaming this book because I know it's a standard rule for most if not all books. But it's human nature haha....gotta blame somebody

[Dbldown11]

I think I'm also a little frustrated still from last night when I had a 12 game parlay to pay 100K and I went 10-2 haha. I had the white sox and over, pirates and over, yankees and under, washington and under, phillies and over, Cleveland and over.

I was perfect on 4 games with the winner and the total and 1-1 on 2 of em. Luckily I bet those all straight up as well so it was still a killer night, but damn.....so close

Blame away.

[Ringo]

Well the forecast looks pretty bad all throughout the night so maybe they will try and finish this one b/c theres a good chance tonights game will get washed. Just hoping for the best

[Dbldown11]

oh and i just realized people are going to call me out cause I said that I never bet unders and then I posted my plays from last night with two unders.....I should have said I almost never bet unders.

[Pick'nParlays]

rain rain.... go away

[Ringo]

Oh sh!t, I just realized im getting screwed because I am on the BOS runline and accoridng to my book, runlines are not official untill after 8.5 innings. This FVkin BLOWS!!!


Baseball betting rules:

1. A baseball game becomes official for Money Line betting purposes after 4 1/2 innings if home team is winning, or 5 innings if visiting team is winning.
2. For Run Lines and Totals, a baseball game becomes official after 8 1/2 innings if home team is winning, or 9 innings if visiting team is winning.
3. Events do not carry over to the following day (unless otherwise specified).
4. If a game goes through 9 innings and is Not completed, example: (suspended, rain delay, etc.), there Is action on all Total and Run Line bets.

****

[Rixsaw]

So Boston ML is a winner (betjam)? I'm at work and can't go to book site.

[Dbldown11]

yes...boston ML is a winner

[Rixsaw]

Cool. It's sux to be on the over, and it's doubly suxs if you have it in a winning parlay.

[Rick22]

I pushed/canceled both the over and RL at The Greek

Those that had Red Sox -1.5 have a similar beef, although I suppose the O's could have outscored the Red Sox 8-0 in the last two innings.

Oh well, it is a standard rule that has been around forever. You can't fight City Hall.

Yep - I had Red Sox -1.5 (+125)..But mother nature won today. And btw, LT is 100% correct that is standard on over/under runline plays..We got boned today..That line just JUMPED out right at me too..DAMN...oh well, let's get 'em tonight..

This is really the best arguement that the books should award a win to anyone who bet the over. It's IMPOSSIBLE for the score to improve or worsen for us. The OVER already occurred. It's just another example of how lame the books are and they go out of their way to keep every nickel and dime.

[Rick22]

Padres/Giants 0-0 in the 8th and I have the over---Come on RAIN!!!!!
