Astros suck

**Ringo** · 05-05-09, 01:42 PM

Very poor coaching as well. Leaves reliever in to WALK in 3 runs and takes him out after they lose the lead. How do you let someone walk in 3 runs in a row when youre winning 5-3. Worst coaching ive seen all year

Why would one play a team like the Astros in the first place?

because they are playing a team like the nationals.

Not so fast.

**RkD KiD** · 05-05-09, 02:05 PM

they just tied it up!

**Crayzee** · 05-05-09, 02:06 PM

well- so do nats
no leadis big enough for these a-holes

**jellobiafra** · 05-05-09, 02:10 PM

Their bullpen is just worn out and depleted... not to mention terrible. They need to get this one for us in regulation or we are in trouble.

**Crayzee** · 05-05-09, 02:27 PM

effing nats make astros lok like '27 yankees

**Ringo** · 05-05-09, 02:40 PM

These teams both suck ass. Game was the biggest coin flip out there. You're right wilforth, what the hell am I doing betting on either one of these teams.

So pathetic

**Vonnegut** · 05-05-09, 02:42 PM

Its pretty easy to see, the problem is Houstons bullpen and their lack of power. I wont play them on the road again for awhile unless the number is knocking my socks off.

**Ringo** · 05-05-09, 02:49 PM

Right there with ya Von.

**jellobiafra** · 05-05-09, 02:51 PM

Well we got screwed because Oswalt left with a bone bruise on his finger. He was cruising with a 3 run lead in the 6th. The reason I bet this game is because of that matchup at a good price. The Stros just tied it in the 9th. Both teams are a freakin joke and it's a coin flip now.

**Vonnegut** · 05-05-09, 02:58 PM

They are gonna blow it I can feel it.

**Ringo** · 05-05-09, 03:02 PM

stros need to get at least two runs maybe even three across the plate to have a shot at winning this one.

Kinda newbie question here... I haven't been following MLB for long and being from the UK, I don't really know all the exact rules!

Currently the game is being suspended due to rain... scores are tied. What would happen to bets if the game was rained off now? Would they be voided or is there some secret rule to decide a winner? Cheers!

Vegas Rules

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.
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.
Events do not carry over to the following day (unless otherwise specified).
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.

In this case everything will have action in this game. Hope that helps

If I have Astros in a parlay right now(betjam), is this considered a push?

Yeah, its like as if you never took them in your parlay..so if it was a 3 teamer..its now a 2 teamer

**Euphoria38** · 05-05-09, 04:17 PM

Yes, its considered a no action... if this is suspended until tomorrow.

Because the game was halted in the middle of the inning, I believe they have to complete it today. You may want to check the MLB rules

**Crayzee** · 05-05-09, 04:23 PM

boy this'll kill anyone who bet the over- glad i didnt
on the other hand- it'll make under bettors pretty happy

**Salcas** · 05-05-09, 04:26 PM

This is killing me just waiting..not knowing if theyre going to continue play or not ..is anyone from Washington?

**Ringo** · 05-05-09, 04:28 PM

How about runlines? Will they still count if a game gets rained out in extra innings in a tie ballgame?

**Euphoria38** · 05-05-09, 04:31 PM

no if the game is suspended and resumes another day EVERYTHING is considered no action.

This one looks like itll get underway in another 1:30 or so. Im looking at the Glog in CBS Sportsline... what a terrible game I took here.

I'm pretty sure it would be the same..the game should just cancel out..don't take my word on that though.

**Euphoria38** · 05-05-09, 04:34 PM

Even if you had a -1.5 here you could still win in extra's so the game must complete in order for the wager to have action thats the line of thinking.

**Euphoria38** · 05-05-09, 04:36 PM

Its too bad because the totals cancel out too. Those have been determined already. Itd be funny if this was 0-0 and in extras and the O/U was like 8. Then the Under cashes no matter what but still no action because it doesnt finish

**JamesBrown** · 05-05-09, 04:43 PM

"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. "

The way I'm reading this, then the RL would be a loss, right?

**Euphoria38** · 05-05-09, 04:47 PM

Oh wow, I didnt know that. Yea you're correct. ML is no action then.

**Euphoria38** · 05-05-09, 04:47 PM

+1.5 and O cashes, -1.5 and U loses.

**Euphoria38** · 05-05-09, 04:53 PM

And this game is suspended

**Euphoria38** · 05-05-09, 04:57 PM

Game is to Resume July 9th.
