Mods - Can we get 1st Five Inning lines please?

As per the rules of the contest, only moneylines, sides, and totals (for full games).

I cant change the types of lines that are included AFTER the contest has already started and been running. There may very well be a few 5 inning specialists that have already made their 12 picks for the week based on the current rules of the contest, and it would be extremely unfair to them to start adding these now, or in the next round (after they have already been eliminated).

There are pros and cons to adding 5 inning lines which I will consider before the next contest I run and try to get some feedback from you guys. But for this contest, the lines must stay consistent from start to finish.

No problem, thanks. You're doing a great job.

Eh, today's lines-not-up-botch certainly doesn't fall under my doing a great job, but it won't happen again. Hopefully its smooth sailing here on out and everyone has fun

One more question, where's the bracket?

Please VegasDave, allow 1st 5 inning bets next time. Look at what happened to me in this round, I've picked 6 MLB moneylines, they've gone 6-0 in the first five innings. For the full game they've gone 2-4, I've lost one game in the 9th and three in extra innings. It's the most heartbreaking thing ever because I'm almost exclusively a first five inning bettor, this is been a great streak for me and if only first five inning lines were available I would have won this round with ease. Instead, I'm in a total dogfight and in danger of losing.

Betting on the first five innings and the whole game are different worlds in baseball, there's no reason not to make both available for this contest. It just takes an extra few seconds to post those lines, I beg you to change this rule. Thanks for your time.

You said thanks.

The only reason you are BITCHING yet again is because you might lose this round. Somehow I bet if you were 6-0 in total games and 2-4 first 5 innings, you wouldnt have made another post about it.

I'm giving him more feedback now. My second round is a perfect example of why first 5 inning lines should be a part of this. I'm imploring him for this change, that's all.
