Baseball Rules


Baseball information and examples about baseball rules from wikipedia
  • When wagering on total runs the game must go 9 innings to have action. If a game is called or suspended in extra innings, the score will be determined after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the score is determined at the time the game is called.
  • Wagers on total runs will be refunded if a pitcher change occurs prior to both listed pitchers throwing at least one pitch.
  • Rules for Run Line wagers are the same as those for baseball totals.
  • The result of a game is official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4.5 innings. If a game is called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called. Monies will be refunded if the home team ties the game and it is then suspended. Events will not carry over to the following day unless otherwise specified.
  • Instant Action Sports does not recognize postponed games, protests or overturned decisions for wagering purposes. All baseball wagers must go the day written, otherwise there is no action and all monies are refunded.
  • Money-line wagers on baseball will be accepted in the following manner:
    • Action - team against team, regardless of the starting pitchers.
    • Listed Pitchers - if both starting pitchers are not exactly as specified at the time of the bet, the wager will be deemed "no action".
    • One Listed Pitcher - this is a wager on or against one specified pitcher, regardless of the other starting pitcher. If the specified pitcher does not start, the wager is deemed "no action".
  • In the event there is a pitching change prior to the game, the money-line will be re-adjusted and "action" wagers will be graded using the opening price for the new pitcher.
  • A pitcher is deemed a starter after throwing the first pitch to the opponent's first batter.
  • Wagers on totals and run-lines must always specify both pitchers listed.
  • Double Headers: Double header games are denoted as Game1 or Game2. Members may list pitchers in a double header, however, wagers are taken on games, not pitchers. If a scheduled pitcher does not go in his scheduled game of a double header but in the other game, wagers are graded based on the Game, not on the pitcher.
  • A baseball team must play at least 160 games for wagers on its season wins to have action.
  • We use the 10-cent line on sides only!
  • The Baseball Grand Salami has no action if any game is rained out or final in less than 8 innings.
