MLB Futures Grading Question

Thats a very good question. This type of prop is not covered in Vegas standard rules. Therefore, if the book does not specifically say in their rules that its no action if a player is traded during the season, you got action.

Apparently I don't. It's OK though I'm used to getting ****ed over by bookies.

you could have asked them that before making the bet

You should have asked them when they were traded. Now it's tough to say if you were freerolled, although that seems like BS so you probably were.

OR, I could assume the bookie holds himself to reasonable standards, and deletes the wagers when the trade is made if that's the way he wants to treat it. Instead he waits to the end of the season to delete winners. Im sure most people assume the bet has action regardless of trade and don't bother asking for a rule before hand.

when you assume you make an ASS of U and ME

why would anyone have to try and work out every possibe scenario. He got ****ed by the book

Feel free to name the sportsbook. A lot of the SHIT books do this. They free roll the player. Its scary but these asswipes spend players funds as if the money is already lost.

No legitimate book voids season long player props because the player is traded, much like no book would void a prop on pitcher under 6.5 strikeouts if he got hurt in the 2nd inning. And if their rules mentioned that a trade voided the prop, as you note they should have voided it at the time of the trade, not after the season completed. Name these crooks and file a complaint with SBR.
