    Is It Shady For A Sportsbook To Do This?

    Say a sportsbool is offering live betting and other it between innings for every inning on a baseball game including the 9th inning unless its involving a team with a closer that 90% of the time isn't going to give up a run, but when the closer isn't as dominant wagering is offered. Thoughts.

    Sports books can hang a line or not hang line on any event or prop they choose.

    i dont think its shady.. live betting is a once in a while offering.. some books have up more options and more often then others.. some only do commercials and have only a ml or a total up ... it really is a book to book preference.

    That wasn't the question, pretty obvious they can do that.

    they do restrict bets according to the situation, in soccer if there is a penalty kick , markets get suspended because it likely be a goal, even the books that have real live betting , stop bets according to the game situation

    No it's not shady.
    But it's the answer.
    Why?
    Because it's their business to choose when to hang a line.
    It's your business to bet the line or not.

    Nothing shady.
