2020 rainout rules

[Brock Landers]

Once a game reaches the official game status, MLB's original rain delay rules remain in effect.

- If an official game is called off when the home team is winning, that game is over.

- If an official game is called off when the visiting team took the lead in a previous inning, the game is over.

- If an official game is called off when the visiting team took the lead in the same inning the game was called, the game is suspended and picked up at a later date.

- If an official game is called off when the score is tied, the game is suspended and picked up at a later date.

What about for over/unders? I had under 7 and a half.

That's up to the book

It used to have to go 8.5 innings fir totals and run lines

No idea this year

[CanuckG]

Vary by book. Most are the standard 8.5 innings for rl/totals and ML is 5 innings unless home team is leading at 4.5

[stackz125]

Nvm

[Brock Landers]

My Yankees bet graded as a WIN

Whoever has it otherwise is playing at a shit book

[shadymcgrady]

My yanks -2.5 alt run line graded as no bet

[Slipknot26]

If ML yes , should be a win
All Others should be void
RL, ARL, Team Totals and game totals since it was not a full game

[Brock Landers]

If ML yes , should be a win

RL, ARL, Team Totals and game totals since it was not a full game

100% correct

[pavyracer]

This is bullshit. You need to play 9 innings or it's a push.

Since when?

[KVB]

Solid thread Brock, it was needed.


Books differ on a few things and already in game one bettors are pissed. What a shit show.

Betonline and Bookmaker changed their Baseball rules this year to require 8.5 innings for ML wagers.

(totals and RL were always 8.5 for all books)

[pologq]

wagerweb and betnow graded the yanks as winners last night

good thread i agree. confusing with the diff rules at books.

[manny24]

this is going to get messy

[big joe 1212]

Glad I didn't place my NYY moneyline bet with shit book bookmaker!

[pologq]

this is going to get messy

it is. really have to consider now if weather might be a factor if the bet is worth it at some books.

Hey Vern, two of those books are Sbr top rated books. I know it doesn’t matter to you, as you don’t have a job, other than food delivery for peanuts. But those Sbr books are not “shit” books

[stake1]

this is going to get messy

Sure is. Have to know each books rules on 2020 bases. Fluid situation

[LT Profits]

Not really up to the book, Totals and Run Lines have always required 9 innings and still do.

As for Money Lines, Vegas Standard is official after 5 innings, so for ML at MOST books, last night was Yanks win, Nats lose

Not ALL books though, most notably Bookmaker and BOL both have house rules requiring 9 innings for official game, so they refunded

[Mr. Teaser]

This didn’t take long....

This is how is supposed to be. 9 innings or push. I didn't know that some books allow a win after only just 5 innings. This is absurd.

Has been that way since beginning of time, this is first year Bookmaker and BOL changed, but most still use Vegas Standard, which goes by MLB official game.

SBR Book uses Bookmaker rules.

I call bull shit that you won a game

[pavyracer]

Only way to win a bet is on a rain shortened game that the book didn't cancel.

[7deuceoff$uit]

SBR Book uses Bookmaker rules.

What about for sbr contests?

[Brock Landers]

I call bull shit that you won a game

You didn't see my video then

Won on the dodgers too, that is one good team

[krk1030]

So nothing changed regarding a game being official after 5 innings yet books changed the rules....based on what?

Anticipating more games being called rather than sit through long delays?

Not sure if this was the reasoning, but I think with covid and more teams in playoffs, games can get called quicker

[LT Profits]

No, MOST books still go by Vegas so yes that would be a win,

[LT Profits]

What about for sbr contests?

Same. All bets are Action at odds placed and must go 9/8.5 to count

[ace7550]

I had bets at BOL and JB. Both got cancelled. I knew the new rules so I'm not upset. Just crazy that it happened on the first game of the season. You go from rooting for baseball to rooting for the weather...
