What's the rules on official games?

AngleBroom · May 16, 2006

Anyone know how many innings have to be played to be considered official if it's rained out.

Kruser6 · May 16, 2006

4.5 innings

The mets game is official.

No runlines, -1 lines, or totals will be counted.

Only the side will count.

not sure here but if the Mets scored the go ahead run in the same inning of the rain delay, it is a cancelled game....am I right here guys.

I am however 100% on the fact that if it is called, the RL bets will cancel

The side won't count because it goes back to the last completed inning and the score was tied at that point 3-3.

For totals to count they must go 8 1/2 innings. Game is complete after 5 complete innings unless Home team ahead and then 4 1/2 innings. In the event a inning is not completed by both teams the game goes back to the last inning to be completed by both teams. Can not hele you on the run lines as that is TABOO to me!!! Best of luck Angle!!!!

Almost correct, you don't necessarily have to complete an inning for that particular partial inning to count. If the home team is ahead, the partial inning would count. If the visiting team (as is the case w/ NYM) scores in the top of the suspended inning, that half inning doesn't count and you go back to the end of the previous full inning. I am not sure when they cancel games as opposed to suspend and pick them up at a later date. However, I imagine that would cancel all bets, but am not sure.

On suspended games, they are suppose to be NO Action. You are correct but I assumed he knew that. I also book and on all suspended games we treat them as no action as well as most sportsbooks because the bet is for that day only. Hope all have a great day tommorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
