    Need advice asap. Someone help
    Ok. Heres the situation. I played +1.5 on the minnesota twins. it was at -150 when i got the line last night so 450 to win 300.

    Anways, in the 3rd inning, my wager gets deleted online. I call my bookie, and he says its b/c the pitcher changed before the game so it becomes a bad line. So i say no...

    I placed as an action bet, not "action if".

    So to make sure, i wanna know if my bet should still stand. He's saying no. IM saying yes. He said he will make his decision in 5 minutes, but the game is in 6th inning so bascially he can be effin with me to see the result of an inning. So basically, he can say, ok the bet counts if he thinks im going to lose, or say no the bet doesnt count if he thinks i will win.

    But please define the action and action if. Im losing right now, but still, this is a bet b morrison system so i want to keep it alive. Who's right. What do i do?

    the bet should have been changed to the new price after the pitching change.

      The bookie said he will get back to me in another 10 minutes. Ok, well now its in the 7th inning, and its totally obvious he's waiting it out as long as he can. That is so immoral to do. So unprofessional.

      Watever, if they lose, im not paying, if they win, he better pay. B/c its such a disadvantage to me for him to make a decision WHILE the game is going on.

        Why did your bookie wait until the third inning to cancel it? Are you sure that was when it took place, or is that when you noticed it?

          It was there in the 1st inning. Then in the 3rd inning when i logged back on to put another play in, it was gone.

            The rule is a clear as can be.

            Betting action is a dumb as you can get.

            Your bet should have been chanced to the new price after the change. Which happened to be much better than what you have.

              ok. Just got word from the bookie. He saying that in a game you take the +/- 1.5 runs, there is no action or action if bet. He says, that a pitching change cancels the bet, and is the responsibility of me to check b4 the game starts to make sure there is no pitching change.

              To that, ok thats fair. But i pointed out to him that the bet was there in the 1st inning which he acknowledged, and that he cancelled the bet in the 3rd inning when i checked last. So, in good faith from both sides, we agreed when the score was 4-2 that the bet would be at -125, and next time, no exceptions, i must reput it if the pitcher changes. Which i agreed to.

              And now, the score is 4-3. Hope they hang onto that 1 point loss. =)

                He gave you +1.5, -125 when your team was down 2 runs? After 6 innings? Find a new bookie. That a really shitty price for you.

                  I know the price was bad at that point in the game. but its a morrison bet b play so even though the value wasn't there, i still took it b/c its a system bet b, which is almost a lock that minnesota comes back. Rarely does the system go to bet c, so i took it.

                      I wouldn't have taken +150 even if the Yanks were the home team (not batting in the ninth if they have the lead).......not with the pen the yanks have.

                      Good luck jj, you might pull it out...

                              There is no such thing as Action for Run Lines and Totals, a pitching change automatically cancels the bet.

                              Action is only for Money Lines, where if there is a pitching change, you are assigned the new opening line with the new pitcher.
