Special Major League
Baseball Rules
Major League Baseball games are official after
5 innings of play, or 4.5 innings if the home team is leading.
If a game is subsequently called or suspended, the winner is
determined by the score after the last full inning unless the
home team ties the score or takes the lead in the bottom half
of the inning. Then the winner will be determined by the score
at the time the game is called. When wagering on total runs
or run lines, the game must go the regulation 9 innings, or
8.5 innings if the home team is leading, otherwise it will constitute
a "No Action" wager, and all money will be credited accordingly.
Wagers on total runs will be refunded if a pitcher change occurs
prior to both listed pitchers throwing at least one pitch.
Baseball wagers are accepted as "Listed Pitchers".
In the event of a pitching change prior to the game, all wagers
on that game are considered 'No Action'. All wagers will be
refunded to the customers account.
Any and all baseball series wagers must have all
3 games played by the end of a specified date for the wager
to have action. If all 3 games are not played by that specified
date then all wagers are NO ACTION, regardless if one team has
2 wins. All 3 games must be official by Las Vegas Gaming Standards
(see our rules regarding baseball wagers and what constitutes
an official result)
NOTE: Each
team's starting pitcher is defined for betting purposes as the
pitcher that throws the first pitch.
All games that go at least the full 9 innings and finish tied
as a result of a suspension of play, shall be graded as a push
on all money line bets. However, all run line and total bets
will have action. Note, though, that this is an extremely rare
occurance, and thus the Las Vegas rules for this event are not
at this point set in stone. In the event of a change in Las
Vegas rules, Sportfanatik.com will adhere to the decision set forth in Las
Vegas.
All baseball props must go the full 9 (8½) innings unless otherwise
stated. They also must start the listed pitchers.
First Five Innings Bets are listed pitchers
and the game must go a Full 5 Innings to have action regardless
if the game is called or postponed after the 5th Inning.

be graded as soon as the first team scores and once the home
team has at least a chance to bat. If the home team scores
first, that bet will be graded at that time and bets are action
regardless of game suspension or postponement. If the visiting
team scores first the bet will be graded once the home team
has completed their at bat.
Will there be a Score in the First Inning Props are listed
pitchers and will be graded as soon as the First Inning ends,
all bet are action regardless of game suspension or postponement,
as long as the First Inning is completed.

Football
Points can
be bought in football for the complete game only. They can be
bought for point spreads and totals.
For every half point bought the charge will be 10 cents.
There are two special rules:
1. When buying on or off the number 3 in the Pro Football, there is a premium cost of 25%, not 10%. So for example to move the Chargers from -3 -110 to -2.5, the new line will be -2.5 -135 (lay $135 to win $100). The same is true for the underdog, to buy Bears from +3 -110 to +3.5 will be -135 (lay $135 to win $110).
2. On half or reduced juice games or half or reduced juice days, there are additional premium costs for buying points: a. for 1-50 points on college football, there is a 5% additional premium. b. for buying on or off the number 7 on college football, the premium is 25%. c. for 1-25 points on professional football, there is a 5% additional premium. d. for buying on or off the number 3 or 7 on professional football, the premium is 25%.
Boxing
In boxing,
the official stopping of a round before the sounding of the
bell does not constitute a full round. A full round is only
considered for wagering purposes when the bell sounds signifying
the end of said round.
Pick the Round Prop Rules:
If the fight ends in a 12 Round Decision or a Draw, Bettor Loses.
If one of both fighters fail to answer the bell for a round,
the fight is judged to have finished in the previous round.
Golf
- Wagers on a golfer who does not play in the tournament are graded as No Action, and all monies refunded. (Unless other wise specified).

- Las Vegas Rules apply for any rules not mentioned here.
For matchup betting all of the players listed
in the matchup bet offer must tee off for your bet to have action.
The player with the most completed holes wins. If the players
complete the same number of holes, then the player with the
lowest score wins.If the players are still tied then the wager
will be No Actioned and all monies will be refunded. If both
golfers in a match-up are in a playoff: a) winner of play-off
wins matchup and b) all other playoff participants tie each
other
Should a tournament be shortened, or otherwise
affected, due to weather conditions the official result will
be used when settling, regardless of the number or rounds played.
However, should there be no further play after a bet is struck
that bet will be void.
Single day matchups are wagers on the particular
day's 18-holes. Single Day mathups do not include holes played
as part of a completion from the previous day's round nor playoff
holes considered part of the overall tournament score. Should
a day's round be shortened, or otherwise affected, due to weather
conditions and the round is continued the next day, the full
18 holes will are considered in determining the outcome of the
bet even if they are played over two days. If a full 18 holes
are not completed by both members of the matchup, all bets are
void. If both players end the 18 holes in a tie, the bet is
considered a no action wager.
Stroke Line Betting. In golf the lower score wins.
If you bet (-1/2) a Stroke your golfer must shoot 1 or more
shots lower than the opponent. If you bet (+1/2) your golfer
must shoot the same score or a lower score than the opponent.
Example: You bet Singh (-1/2) vs Mickelson. Singh shoots 69,

Motorsports
When placing a wager on "Odds to Win" a race,
your wager shall be 'No Action' should the driver not start
the race. Both drivers must start the race in 'matchup' wagering
for the bet to have action. The start of any motor race is defined
as the signal to start the warm-up lap. The official winner
at the conclusion of the race will be the winner for betting
purposes. In league championship wagering, drivers must race
in at least one race during the season to be deemed 'action'.
Special Motorsport Rule: Races must be run within
one week of the scheduled date for your bet to have action.
The race must complete the scheduled number of
laps and/or distance for specific proposition wagers (pertaining
to number of laps and/or distance) to have action. Matchups,
Finishing Position Props and Future wagers will still have action
regardless.
Formula 1: At least 15 drivers must start the race for action.
Parlay or Multiple Betting
Parlay or Multiples Betting. No multiple (parlay)
bets can be accepted where individual legs are 'connected'.
For example, one leg of a parlay is for Sampras to beat Henman
in the 4th round of Wimbeldon and the second or additional part
of the parlay is for Sampras to win the overall Wimbledon title.
The match forms part of the overall tournament and is therefore
'connected'. In the same way, you cannot parlay the over of
the first half of a football game with the over of the total
game, because the two are 'connected'
Dead Heat Rule
In the event of a dead heat (a tie), stakes will
be divided by the number of selections dead heating with the
divided stake settled at full odds, remaining stakes are lost.
If the tie was a betting option, then the dead heat rule does
not apply. The Dead Heat Rule only applies to Future Wagers.
For example, if there is a 3 way tie for the Top Scorer in a
Football game. Then your winnings are calculated by taking your
stake, dividing it by 3, and multipling that amount by the odds
on your betting ticket.
Basketball
Half Price Friday line rules only apply to NBA
lines that day. Overnight Lines are still -110
