BAS stating White Sox/Minny no action as did not go 9 - RESOLVED

[djefferis]

So BAS is voiding my White Sox money line bet - stating the game is not “official” in their view as it did not go 9 full innings.

Of course totals - this would be correct for - but sides as long as the game goes 5 1/2 - the rule is the declared winner by MLB is the winner.

I have asked them to show me on their website where they have rules showing their betting rules differ from widely accepted standards (as I can’t find them) and of course nothing.

Just stating it’s their right to void a bet that would be declared a winner anywhere else. Guess that’s it for me and BAS after this deposit runs out.

Initially ruled a winner - an hour later reversed the decision and called it no action.

 

[djefferis]

Did any Minny bettors receive a refund for their pre game money line bets ?

Of course totals/run lines are no action as live in game bets should be - but bet a side before the game and it wins officially - that’s always been a winner at any sportsbook in my experience.

That is troubling.

did you get credited? mine was graded a win

 

[djefferis]

Said they are “looking into it” with wagering.

Just concerning as:

- there are no official rules on the site and they could not tell me where to find them in chat
- it was graded a winner- then voided manually

Just curious as to if anyone holding a Twins ticket saw the same action in their account. The initial grading was likely an “auto grade” as the system verified the game winner - the reversal though was likely manually adjusted - if they voided Minnesota tickets - then fair enough. The mistake will hopefully be corrected and paid.

That’s good - was it voided then corrected back ?

This must be a mistake.

Here is the BAS rule and since the game went 5 innings (4.5 if home team is winning) you should get paid on the moneyline...

[Miz]

it was graded according to their rules (4.5 innings etc etc), but then they had an erroneous popup notice saying it was no action . i was credited correctly for the win

FIrst paragraph...

https://betanysports.eu/sb_rules#baseball

All regular season and exhibition baseball games are considered official after 5 innings of play (4½ if the home team is winning). If a game is called or suspended after 5 innings, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning of play – unless the home team scores to tie or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in that case, the winner is then determined by the score at the time the game is called. When betting on baseball totals or run-lines, the game must go 9 innings or 8½ if the home team is winning

Looks like they made it right

I am guessing it was an error on a clerks part - voiding all as totals/run lines would properly be voided.

Still just annoying when they couldn’t point me in direction of their rules when asked - guessing as I’m on my phone and getting a mobile version.

Bookmaker is the only book that I’m aware of that requires money line wagers to have 9 innings completed.

Wasn’t aware of that - but makes sense.

Had issues with them a few years ago on a tennis match graded differently than every other book.

Just another reason to be aware of where your betting:

It’s a silly rule.

I generally avoid making bets at Bookmaker on games that could be rain shortened.

Same.
I don't understand the reasoning. Why would you want to cancel bets when everyone else is grading them? They lose potential earnings on every official game that doesn't go 9 innings.

Terrible rule. Got burned on an arb vs them on the money line a few years ago. Learned my lesson that way. Honestly, I cannot believe they don't recognize a money line game bet is official as MLB does. Only play run lines and total there if I play bases there.

Tennis is one for sure...read the rules. Some have one set to be official on a DQ or retirement, others require the match to do the distance.

 

[Miz]

yeah, it is very annoying. Another one is suspended games that get continued the next day prior to completing 4.5/5 innings. Books vary on that rule also.

 

[btcfan]

Yep. The old Bet105 used to carry that forward to the next day. No idea what they do now.

And they’re writing fewer bets on games that are not played in dome ballparks, at least from me.

Great to hear. Maybe update the thread title?

Thanks for the update, DJ. I also updated the title of the thread.
