is this going to be net-wide? Sure gives a BIG advantage to over betting when you know it could rain......i mean, if you're more than certain of rain, it's nearly a freeroll
Changes to Baseball Betting Rules
From the start of the upcoming regular season MLB fixtures on Sunday April 4th, bet365 will be incorporating a set of new rules relating to Baseball bets placed on both pre game and In-Play markets.
The complete Baseball rule section has now been updated on our site. For ease of reference, the main changes are highlighted below:
Pre Game
Game Total betting remains subject to the 8? innings rule, except where the score is already over the quoted total (in such circumstances bets over will be settled as winners, with bets under settled as losers); or where the game is ?called? or suspended and any natural conclusion of the match would have resulted in the outcome of the Game Total being determined. e.g. MLB game is ?called?, or suspended at 5-5, in such circumstances bets on Over 10 or 10.5 would be settled as winners, bets Under 10 or 10.5 settled as losers, since any natural conclusion to the match would have at least 11 runs.
4? Innings Total betting will be settled on the score in the middle of the 5th innings, unless the Total quoted is already over. Where this occurs bets will be settled as follows ? over bets on quoted Total will be settled as winners, under bets on quoted Total settled as losers. e.g. MLB game is ?called?, or suspended at 2-2 at the end of the 3rd innings, bets on Over 3.5 would be settled as winners, bets Under 3.5 settled as losers, since the outcome of the quoted Total has already been determined at the time the game is ?called?, or suspended.
This also applies to 5 Innings Total betting which is settled on the score after 5 full innings, e.g. MLB game is ?called?, or suspended at 2-2 at the end of the 3rd innings, bets on Over 3.5 would be settled as winners, bets Under 3.5 settled as losers, since the outcome of the quoted Total has already been determined at the time the game is ?called?, or suspended.
In-Play
Game Total betting remains subject to the 8? innings rule, except where the score is already over the quoted total (in such circumstances bets on over will be settled as winners, bets under settled as losers); or where the game is ?called? or suspended and any natural conclusion of the match would have resulted in the outcome of the Game Total being determined. e.g. MLB game is ?called?, or suspended at 5-5, bets on Over 10 or 10.5 would be settled as winners, bets Under 10 or 10.5 settled as losers, since any natural conclusion to the match would have at least 11 runs.
Innings Total (including alternatives), the top and bottom of the specified innings must be completed for bets to have action, unless the Total quoted is already over at the time the game is ?called? or suspended.
Team Totals remain subject to the 8? innings rule, except where the score is already over the quoted total (in such circumstances bets on over will be settled as winners, bets on under settled as losers).
Additionally, a Mercy Ruling has been incorporated into the new rules section. For competitions where a Mercy Rule can be applied, then all bets are settled on the score at the time the Mercy Rule is applied.
Kind Regards,
