MLB Win Totals in game 163

darkstar77 · Sep 29, 2018

Is there any expert who can tell me when it comes to MLB Season long win totals does Vegas count game 163 towards the win total? I've been hearing the team(s) have to play a minimum of 160.5 games and that game 163 does count. I'm long 94's and 95's with the Cubs and a potential game 163 Monday could be the difference.

Thanks.

It’s a regular season game. All stats count toward the regular season.

We saw someone post the Pinnacle rules yesterday, wherein tiebreaker games did NOT count towards season win totals.

I have to think this is the universal rule.

Just checked the rules at several pph's and it is not listed anywhere.

Thats what I originally thought but was told otherwise .

I bet it’s one of those depends on the sports book deals .

But since Harry is not a sports book it’s like what to do .

I mean this might be the first time in the history of betting that this has ever happened .

There have only been 14 game 163s in MLB history .

Its very possible that none of those had any effect on season wins total bets

You have to check the rules but I would expect that this game WOULD NOT count for the purposes of a season over/under bet.

Interesting

im sure player stats count for season HR or pitcher wins.

being consistent, the game should count.

Sportsbook.com:

MLB Season Win Totals' only include regular season games and all 160 regular season games must be played for action. Play-off games and pre-season games do not count for this bet offering.

if a team happens to play 160 or 161 it counts. Likewise 163 which is NOT a playoff game (if braves and Phillies tied - Phillies did not make playoffs)

Chi and MIL would play another regular season game
