Just wondering why do totals and run lines have to go all the way to 9 inning in order to have action on a bet? To be fair with those playing the over on the totals? Thx for your comments http://www.therx.com/forum/grem/1036316054.gif
good question. ill ask a couple of the books and get back to you.

The reason is simple...
Just like a game may go OVER in 5 innings but gets called, the same can happen to someone betting the UNDER...
Imagine, how they would feel if the TOTAL was 12 on a Colorado Rockie game and the game was called after 8 innings with the score being 0-0 at the time....
That's why totals have to go all the way...
To be fair to over betters as well as Under betters!

Well thanks anyway, I guess there's not so much science behind those rules... http://therxforum.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif
