Xth Point / Race to X Points Markets

  • If an inning ends before the Xth point is reached (including extra innings), bets on:

    • “Which team wins race to X points?”

    • “Who scores the Xth point?”
      will be void.

When Will the Match Be Decided?

  • Settled as “Any extra inning” if the match is tied after 9 innings, regardless of whether extra innings are played.

Will There Be Extra Innings?

  • Settled as “Yes” if the game is tied after 9 innings, regardless of whether extra innings are played.

  • Extra innings are not considered in any market unless explicitly stated.

Settlement Based on Final Result

  • Markets are settled using the final result after 9 innings (or 8½ if the home team is leading).

  • Exceptions:

    • Pre-match Winner markets (see rule 6.9).

    • Officially shortened games (e.g., 7 innings or double-headers): settled based on scheduled innings.

  • Minimum innings for bets to stand: 6½ if the home team is leading, unless the outcome is already determined.

Postponed or Abandoned Games

  • Postponed match: All bets are void unless play resumes within 48 hours.

  • Abandoned match: All undecided bets are void unless play resumes within 48 hours.

  • Fully decided markets are settled.

Incorrect Score or Match Status

  • If a market is open with an incorrect score or match status that significantly impacts odds, the sportsbook may void affected bets.

Winner Market – Pre-Match

  • Settled if the match goes at least 5 innings (4½ if the home team is leading) and is official.

Player Props Markets

Predict individual player outcomes (hits, runs, RBIs, strikeouts, etc.):

  • Participation: If a player does not play, the bet is void.

  • Settlement: All bets are settled using the final official box score.

  • Venue Changes: Bets stand if the venue changes but the game is not postponed more than 48 hours and the home team remains designated.

  • Suspended Games:

    • Resumes within 36 hours → bets stand.

    • Resumes after 36 hours → bets void, unless already determined before suspension.

  • Extra Innings: All are included in settlements.

  • Starting Lineup: If a player was not in the starting lineup, the bet is void.

  • Partial Outcomes:

    • If a player bet outcome is already determined, it is settled as Win/Loss, regardless of innings played.

    • For other player markets with undetermined outcomes, the game must go at least 8½ innings for bets to stand; otherwise, they are void.

  • Late Pitcher Change:

    • Bets remain valid regardless of the pitcher change.

    • If a pitcher does not start, all bets on that pitcher are void.
