#37I am just explaining why the rule is in place, not saying whether I agree or disagree with it. I guess I am neutral since the rule has been in place since the beginning of time so I'm already numb to it. But I do understand the book's point of view.Comment -

#38Also, in the same way tennis matches aren't "finite" as you say, runs scored in baseball aren't finite. Match length is irrelevant as long as if it doesn't meet regulation time all wagers are graded no action or if the over has been exceeded, then overs win and unders lose.Comment -

If a tennis match gets to 42 games, there's no way for it to go under 40.5
If a baseball game gets to 16 runs, there's no way for it to go under 9.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

Also, I don't see how anyone could angle shoot using my grading. Even if you could perfectly predict the weather, it's impossible to guess what games will be called early, since so few games get called early, and so many more games are delayed and then finished.Comment -

#44Again, I am only explaining why the rule exists. If books change the rules to what you guys are proposing, then they will also adjust MLB totals a tad higher to account for the possibility, especially if rain is in the forecast.Comment -

#45The only redeeming factor about the current rules is they are STANDARD across books. That way, hedging and scalping are still possible without the added risk of rules differences (see: tennis).
Still, if Cris or Pinny changed their rules, others would follow.Comment -

My guess is "a tad higher" couldn't be more than a 2c move at Pinny, if that. Even without moving the line, the book would make the vig on games like today, unless some angle shooters came in with perfect knowledge of 4pm games getting called early because rain was in the forecast.
So, as far as it goes, I see the books position (presented by LT) as plausible, though still inferior to grading using the conditional A. Game completes in regulation, or B. Total is exceeded method of grading.Comment -

#48Don't take it personally LT. I respect your posts, and in this case, I just disagree with the status quo, which is the side you chose to present. I would have treated any other poster the same.
As far as it goes, I'm happy to save the money, which I re-invested in the Giants under, which I also got lucky and pushed. Someone is looking out for my $300 today.Comment -

Your argument makes no sense.
If you're saying people are "freeloading" if they bet the over, then people who bet tennis overs are also "freeloading" in the rare event that someone retires after games have already gone over.
This is simply inconsistent and wrong.
