then rescheduled, will automatically constitute a no action
wager, and all money will be refunded accordingly.

BASEBALL:
Winners
and losers are official after 5 innings of play unless
the home team is leading after
4½ 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 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).
Sportsbooks do not rocognize suspended games, protest,
overturned decisions, etc, for wagering purposes, and all
wagers must go the day written, otherwise there is not
action and all monies are refunded.
SPECIAL BASEBALL RULES:
A)Whan
wagering on total runs (OVER/UNDER) the game must go
9 innings (8½ IF THE HOME TEAM IS AHEAD)to
have action. If a game is called or suspended, the score
will be determined
after the last full inning (UNLESS THE HOME TEAM SCORE
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).Rules for the run line wagers are the
same as
those for baseball totals.Wagers on totals runs will
be refunded if a pitcher change occurs prior to both
listed
pitchers throwing at least one pitch.
B)Baseball wagers will be accepted in the following manner:
1) ACTION - Team agains team, regardless of the starting
pitcher. 2) ONE SPECIFIED PITCHER - This is a wager on
or agains one specified pitcher, regardless of the other
starting pitcher. 3) BOTH SPECIFIED PITCHERS - If starting
pitchers are not exactly as listed on wagering display
board, and/or your ticket, your wager will be deemed NO
ACTION .
Note: In the event there is a pitching change prior to
the game, money odds may be adjusted. If one scheduled
pitcher starts agains an unscheduled pitcher, ACTION wagers
will be computed by the opening price with the new pitcher.A
pitcher is deemed a starting pitcher after throwing one
pitch.
NFL AND COLLEGE:
NFL
and college football games must go 55 minutes to have
action. All wagers on the side & total
will include all overtime scoring.
College football overtime procedure:
College
football overtimes commence with a 1st & 10 play
at the opponents 25-yard line. The offensive team keeps
possession until they score, commit a turnover or fail
to convert on 4th down. The overtime continues until
the score is no longer tied and each team has had an equal
number of possessions.
BOXING:
The following is the correct ruling in boxing involving
a draw. When a draw is on the board as one of the options
available to wager on and the fight ends in a draw, that
sportsbook pays only those who bet a draw. However, if
a draw was not available at a sportsbook, then all monies
are refunded. Sportsbooks who did not carry a draw as an
available betting proposition are obligated to refund all
wagers. Sportsbooks which offered the draw, pay only on
the draw and do not refund any wagers on either fighter.
The exception to this would be when a draw is listed as
a SEPERATE wager. For example, a draw listed with other
boxing betting propositions such as choosing what round
a fighter will be KO'd in, or a fighter by decision or
KO, etc.
AUTO RACING:
The Official NASCAR winner of the race shall be the winner
of the race for wagering purposes.
GOLF:
In the event a tournament does not go the specified number
of completed holes (usually 72), and the tournament is
shortened by PGA officials, the leader at the end of number
of holes determined to be official by PGA officials shall
be the winner. If a wager is taken on a matchup for the
overall tournament, both golfers MUST tee off for action.
In the event that one player or the other is disqualified
or withdraws, the other golfer will be the winner of the
matchup. In the event a matchup is taken on a round by
round basis (1st Round, 2nd Round, 3rd Round, etc) or (1st
and 2nd rounds, or 3rd and 4th rounds), both golfers MUST
tee off for action, and in the event that a wager is taken
on the 1st and 2nd (or the 3rd and 4th rounds) for the
same two players, and the player tees off in the 3rd round,
and then withdraws, the player remaining would be the winner
of that matchup in the 3rd round, and there would be NO
action on the 4th round wager (since one of the two players
withdrew).
SOCCER:
The
winner for wagering purposes for both side & total
is determined by the final score after 90 minutes and
any over time. The penalty kick or shoot out round is not
included.
