    did sportsbooks change the rules regarding games being final after 5 innings?

    twice this has happened to me as of late. i had the reds +1.5 (bought them) they are winning big time and it's in the 6th inning yet since there was a rain delay and the game ends i get a push?

    i could have sworn all games were final after 5.

    You should won instead of a Push, it ended bottom of the 6th, I think games are final after ending of the 6th with the home team (Cincinnati) leading 8-1.

    see, that's what i thought as well. yet i get a push on this and awhile ago i had the redseox -1.5 and that was also after 5 innings and the same thing happened. rain delay, game cancelled and a push.

    sorry, i missed a part. do you mean the rules change concerning a game going final if it is the home team? the redsox were at home as well. wow, it feels like i know nothing of this sport and i have been following it for an amount of time that would show my age.

    Runlines and totals need the whole game to finish. Your bet was graded correctly.

    fair enough. just do not assume. when i said follow does not mean bet. i also think books have different rules. however, if it is me being insane what the hell? a runline should count.

    Yeah it's always been this way. Maybe some random book might have a different rule but this is the Vegas standard that all the major books follow. Here's a thread from yesterday where someone had the same question, albeit about a points bet. http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sbr-points...portsbook.html

    same rules on the moon regarding how baseball gets graded. ive never seen any book vary on this, only thing that is graded is money line. wasnt assuming anything, think you just took my comment bout shari "schooling kids" a little too seriously..

    lol,,im not betting cards today, im not one of these crazy fans i can accept when it not a good time for my team. over 8 where it at in that gm imo..i dont think either one of these pitchers can navigate their way thru these lineups 3x w/o getting touched up in current form as both lineups very good vs righties and halos actually starting to hit a little, would expect alberta to have a big series as well..
