Only "Action" for baseball from now on at Bookmaker.

**hb123** · 07-17-20, 11:53 AM

Don't like that at all. Gonna get stuck with some jabronis with late COVID scratches.

**funnyb25** · 07-17-20, 11:54 AM

Also, all games must go 8.5 innings, not 4.5 if home team is ahead like before.

**lakerboy** · 07-17-20, 11:55 AM

I'm not betting bases right off the bat

**RudyRuetigger** · 07-17-20, 12:12 PM

so we will be getting 30 threads on what action means this season?

I'm sure it will go back to normal next year.

Gotta roll with the punches guys.

**2daBank** · 07-17-20, 12:23 PM

Oh wow. Initially I thought this was awful, obviously you don’t want to be in situation where the line moves dramatically and you forced to play it. The fact you get locked in on price when you played it helps tremendously! Actually surprised they would do that!

Actually surprised they would do this as I can’t imagine it be good for them if we locked in on a price let’s say against Cole, he gets removed for a far lessor pitcher and we have +250ish against some minor leaguer!!

**Bluehorseshoe** · 07-17-20, 12:33 PM

You don't want to bet an "Ace" pitcher early at Bookmaker. That's all I kncw.

80% my mlb bets are dogs and totals anyways!! Even the totals I have been experimenting with selling anywhere from half run to 1.5 runs off it to get plus money! Very little sense to play many favs in milb imo, especially not ones higher than -140ish., way to hard to hit at the clip required to profit playing favs. On the other hand im pretty confident and proven I can stay between 48-55% playing mainly small/medium dogs and totals!!

**pologq** · 07-17-20, 01:44 PM

interesting cause they can get burned easily. figure cancelled bet is in their best interest.

**jjgold** · 07-17-20, 03:56 PM

I only bet action anyway no affect

Hmmmm. Surely it not changing the 1st 5 innings plays in any way, correct??

Why? That leaves you opened to getting stuck with any line they feel like dealing you!! A seasoned gambler such as yourself should know better!

**Mr. Teaser** · 07-17-20, 08:49 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong but thought I remembered betting action would mean you get a new adjusted line based off the pitching change. I could be wrong though.

**Brock Landers** · 07-17-20, 08:51 PM

Starting pitchers quickly becoming irrelevant

Teams start relief pitchers for 1/2 innings now

action is action, no matter if the whole team gets sick, if you played it at -140 it never changes

You are dead wrong. Price is adjusted by the Book. Been that way for 50 years.

**stake1** · 07-18-20, 07:34 AM

Have to bet listed with baseball. Otherwise get screwed on last minute scratches where the juice can go off the charts

Easy to see why you are a losing degenerate gambler. Don’t even know the new rules in baseball

**goduke** · 07-18-20, 08:01 AM

Only good part now is once you lock in the bet your odds can’t change anymore even if they switch pitchers before the game. Could be on the good side of certain numbers

**DoctorStrong** · 07-18-20, 08:02 AM

im just happy baseball is coming back soon

Actually, if there are no pitchers listed, the old Action pitching change rules no longer exist. It should now be simple, you place a bet, the bet stands at the odds bet, no more adjusted odds for pitching changes. At least that is how it should be, we shall see.

For comparison, if there are no listed pitchers, then a late pitching change becomes no different than a star quarterback being announced out after bets were taken earlier.

EDIT: I just noticed "Unless otherwise stated", so stay tuned.

Also, BEFORE the new change, remember what the distinction was between betting a game with listed pitcher of Action/Any Pitcher (opener protection) and betting Action when there were listed pitchers. If there are really no listed pitchers, then rules should be same as first one.

That’s the way I have understood it at as well and I’m pretty sure this has happened to me more than once in the past.

**Mr. Teaser** · 07-18-20, 09:39 AM

If you bet Gerrit Cole at -400 against the Orioles and he gets scratched and they call up a AAA pitcher I don’t think you’d still be paying -400. You would be paying the adjusted line.
