    question about moneylines and tie games (rainouts)

    Say you have a moneyline bet on an MLB game. The game goes past the requirement to make your bet live (5 innings). Then the game gets cancelled/rained out, whatever. The game ends in a tie but is still officially live as far as your book is concerned.

    Is this a push according to all books, or is this a book-by-book basis? Is the industry standard for a tie on a moneyline in this type of situation to be a push, or should I ask each individual book I want to place a ML bet at?

    Want to make some arb bets, noob at arbs obv

    thanks everyone, love the site/forum

    If a game is tied at the time of postponement and has gone at least five innings, Moneylines are a push. If the game has gone at least five innings but less than nine innings and is tied when postponed, ALL bets on the game are refunded.

    If a game tied at time of postponement has gone at least NINE innings, Moneylines are still a push, but Run Lines or Totals count and are graded on the current score.
