then I would have read the rules at Sportsinteraction.

This is just to let y'all know that all moneyline baseball plays at Sportsinteraction are considered "action" plays. It is impossible to list pitchers at that book for moneyline baseball plays.

The reason I bring this up is that I bet Boston with Fossum yesterday. When you make your bet they list the pitcher you bet on right on the bet card so I stupidly assumed that Fossum was listed. I left for a while, and by the time I got back online, I saw that Nomo was pitching. When I went to read SIA's rules, that is when I finally found out that I had an action bet.

Kinda ticked me off because half the point of the bet was that Cleveland was hitting under .200 vs. lefties (even more proof that Kerrigan is incompetent). It cost me $500 so I want to warn you guys for the future.

ALL MONEYLINE BASEBALL PLAYS AT SPORTSINTERACTION ARE "ACTION" PLAYS. That is the thing to remember here. I really like SIA as they post more moneylines than any other book for NBA and NHL and they almost always have great underdog lines. But from now on when I bet baseball there, I will be very careful and make sure my pitcher is going to start so that I can lay off my bet before game time if there is a pitching change.

I feel your pain. Same type thing happened to me a while back with that book. Those are their rules, but seems odd to me for them to assume that the same bet would be made with a different pitcher but just with different odds. Even more odd that they don't even give the option of making the bet contigent on listed starters, given that almost all books do allow that. I have stopped betting MLB there for that very reason. I also use them a lot for NHL. Good luck to you, Nick.

I think that's bs, Nick. What if you had the DBacks with Witt starting like last night and u were getting +155 then he was scratched and Randy Johnson was declared the starter? Would u then be getting +155 on RJ at home?? I don't think so! Raw deal imo. I know for a fact that they have cancelled bets before in that situation and declared them no action. Call them up and see what they say. Luck to u!

I called. They said the rules on the site state that you get the new opening line with the actual starters. I checked and they are right. It is BS but it is behind me.
