SPORTSBOOK RULES


BASEBALL

  • For all side bets, a game is considered official after five innings of play (four and a half if the home team is winning). Thereafter, if a game is canceled or suspended the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning of play. If the home team scores to tie or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, the winner is then determined by the score at the time the game is canceled.
  • When betting on totals and/or run-lines the game must go nine innings (eight and a half if the home team is winning). Extra innings are included in the final totals. Listed pitchers must start the game. In case of disputes the ruling made by "The Mirage" sports book in Las Vegas will apply.
  • All postseason games (Wild Card, Divisional Series, Championship Series, World Series) are not considered official until a winner is declared. If a post season game begins and then is delayed to a later date, all wagers will have action with the final score being graded as the official result.
  • All Non US Baseball games Top Team is home unless specified.
  • First 5 Innings:

  • Once 5 full innings have been completed, all wagers on the first half (5 innings) will stand.
  • A game does not have to go 9 complete innings, nor does a game need to be completed for the bet to be graded as the bet only covers the first five innings. Whatever occurs after five innings have been played is not relevant to the bet.
  • If a game does not go five full innings, all first-half wagers will be canceled. If the game should be deemed officially over after only 4� innings, all first half wagers will still be considered no action.
  • No parlays between sides and totals in the first five innings are allowed.
  • All first-half wagers must list both pitchers. If either listed pitcher does not start, all wagers on the first half will be canceled.

WAGER TYPES



STRAIGHT BETS

SPREAD / SIDES
This wager is made when you choose a team and the point spread. The cost of the wager is 10/11 or $110 to win $100. 

Example: 
If the straight wager is on the Ravens -3½ then the Ravens must win by 4 or more points for the wager to win. If the straight wager is on the Falcons +3½ then the Falcons cannot lose by more than 3 points for the wager to win. Had the spread on the above example been 3, if the game landed on 3 pts., then the game would be a "PUSH" and result in "NO ACTION".

MONEY LINE

With this type of wager you wager which team is going to win. Disregarding the point spread.

Example:
If you wager on the Ravens -185 you lay $185 to win $100. If you wager on the Falcons +165 you lay $100 to win $165
