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

    Edit by SBR: This is official. Per Bookmaker:

    "Beginning in 2020, the following rule changes for baseball are in effect:

    GAMES MUST GO 8½ INNINGS. All full game bets are official after 8½ innings if the home team is ahead, or after 9 full innings if the visiting team is ahead. This includes moneyline, total runs (over/under) and Run Line bets.

    ALL WAGERS ARE ACTION Unless otherwise stated, all baseball wagers - MLB, college, softball, and foreign pro leagues - are now “Action” wagers. "Listed Pitchers" is no longer being offered. This applies to sides, totals, Run Lines, team totals, first five innings and inning-by-inning props.*all wagers have action at the confirmed price.

    For example, if you selected a team at +200, but due to a pitching change, their price drops to +180, your bet is still locked in at +200.

    POSTPONED GAMES Postponed games must be completed, with a winner declared, within these time frames:

    • MLB and Dominican Republic: By 5 AM (in the time zone where the game is played)• NCAA, International Leagues & Softball: Within 36 hours of the scheduled start time, regardless of venue.

    SEE FULL DETAILS HERE "

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

    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!!

    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!!

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
