    How should this baseball bet be graded from DraftKings??

    In the top of the 5th while Arizona was batting, I bet two Dodger players to get a hit going forward. (Muncy and Peralta) When the Dodgers come up in the bottom of the inning, Peralta gets pinch hit for. Draftking decided to grade that bet a loss instead of a push and won't change it.

    Shouldn't the player at least get one at bat after the bet was made??

    This is the closest rule I can find to what you need;




    Only needing one plate appearance in the game, for all live props, goes with the book interpretation I think.


    See if you can find a more relevant rule? https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/he...rules/baseball

    sorry but its just bad luck bro

    Think it like as a basketball prop bet for Lebron James to score over 30 for a game.

    The king does all the ceremony before the game hyping up the crowd.

    After taking one shot in 1st quarter he starts to touch his groin with pain and leaves the game never comes back.

    What da fack?!?!?!?!

    Its gonna be graded as a loss cause he played in that game.

    Its really bad luck but happens all the time in sports betting...

    I see the same thing.

    What happened before I bet the player to get a hit should have nothing to do with my bet. If it does, a sharp could take advantage of this rule.

    I just talked to someone from their end and they agreed the wording on the rule is poorly written and could be misconstrued and they also see how a sharp would take advantage of this, but they're not refunding the money. lol

    Sharp takes advantage and then the next week his account gets locked and funds taken, after which he makes a post on here saying site X stole his money.

    Bad luck but prop bets have a special way of ruining your day when stuff like that happens

    Was this prop a two-way offering? Meaning, could you bet the NO? If so, and if it doesn't require a plate appearance, you could annihilate them betting NO's when you know the teams and likelihood of pinch hitting.

    If it's not a two-way offering, it's a lesson learned. One-way offerings should be illegal. Allows them to offer any kind of bs odds and pull rule garbage like this.

    Half Inning Markets
    • 3-Batter Reach Base
      • Predict the result of the plate appearance for each of the first three batters due in a half inning. The bet is whether each batter will reach base or not (e.g. ”no|yes|no” means that the first and third batter of that half inning will not reach base, and the second batter will reach base). 
      • Settlement of “Yes” and “No” within selections will be based on the same criteria set forth in “Plate Appearance Result Reach Base” above.
      • Pinch hitters and pitching changes do not cancel this market.
      • Market will be void in the instance of an intentional ball/walk.

    ^^

    Interesting. I'm not sure I quite know what they intend by that last bullet point. So if the count goes 3-0 and then the pitcher decides to make the last one an intentional ball, then it's all void? What about pitch clock violation? I assume that's not considered an intentional ball/walk?

    Blue, did u bet NEXT PLATE APPERANCE? If so, the Peralta wager would have been refunded, if it was LIVE WAGER: PLAYER TO GET A HIT, the wager is a loss as he had 2 plate apperances prior to being pulled. I play the next plate apperance props and they refund if a player is pulled prior to the next at bat.

    That's not offered and their rule about plate appearances is sort of ambiguous. I took it as one plate appearance after the bet was placed, not anytime in the game.

    Not offered?? All baseball live games at DK have NEXT PLATE APPEARANCE offerings. Mind u it's only a few batters that are coming up in the inning or next inning. I'm in Ontario, maybe that's the difference.
    Watch out for the NPA 6-way. Them fukers will switch the offerin positions around and change the batter in a flash. Hard to get a bet in live at bat bets, then they pull that bullshit of intentional confusion.
