how many runs were the home teams laying?

I get the same result as you - home wins by 2 runs.

Have you contacted the sportsbook? You might contact their grading department, and notify them of the error. In most cases, this will quickly get your prop bet fixed.

i guess i thought since it was -150 that was built in

i don't bet this ever, but if i had to guess, i'd say that maybe the home team was minus runs, like -3.5 -150. the reason why i say this is because 12 of the 16 home teams yesterday in baseball were favorites.. i doubt the line would be -150 straight up. just doesn't make sense.

thats why im asking here i figured you guys would know-once again thanks for your input.

i can assure you one thing, NO WAY that line was -150 straight up.. there were home favs of -280, -180.. etc.. if 12 of the 16 home teams were favored, then why would the line be -150?

evidentlt it wasn't but he did not tell me i was giving up runs-hell saw it on there thought i would try it.150 dont hurt.

actually he couldn't answer why,he told me to call back later today to talk to his partner.he was just telling me i had lost looking on the website.actually he is a pretty cool guy takes from 50 to 5000 bet.always pays.the guy i was talking to this a.m. was the money man.

ok here is your answer for sure. i just went to check pinny's lines and ONLY 9 of the 15 home teams are favored, unlike yesterday 12 of the 16.. also, no big favs like yesterday at all.. they were all -125, -117 mostly..

and pinny today has the home team at -2.5 runs

so there's your answer, that line was probably approx -4.5 runs -150..

good luck..
