Why is "must start" or "action" offered for MLB?

If you read any of the posts you'd understand its not like any other rule. Its a rule that is not counterintuitive, it's stupid and nonsensical

If it were you'd post a similar rule. What's that? Right, there is none.

I'll make your day here. In the old days before the internet.....you did get the line you bet. Computer software changed things for books.

Why are you hung up with a similar rule, there are a few other rules I don't like but similar rules has nothing to do with anything. I just lost a tennis bet after the guy wins a set and then withdraws, not happy about it, think its stupid, will keep risking the bet, but not whining about it.

You bet Over 8, game is 10-4 and gets called after 7 innings. You get a refund.

Weird it's called off, but still not equivalent, since all bets are no action. Totals as in NFL arbitrarily include OT, but there's no option. This is the only bet where they switch the price, as a (hidden) rule. Again, why offer an "option" if it doesn't actually mean "action"?

I find it weird that as opposed to saying, yeah, makes no sense that's just how it is, people have continued to actually argue that it's sensual. And it's just silly.

You keep saying "hidden rule" whereas those that have been betting baseball for a reasonable amount of time are very aware how Action works. We just accept it, just as we do shortened-game Overs, you can't fight City Hall.
