| Exhibition baseball information |
| In Las Vegas, casinos that post lines on pre-season
(exhibition) baseball do not post total runs, nor do they list starting
pitchers for each team. In addition, a tie can occur (i.e. 3-3 final
score) if both teams are tied at the end of 10 complete innings. |
| Special baseball rules |
| When wagering on total
runs (over/under) the game must go nine innings (8-1/2 if the home
team is ahead) to have action. If a game is called, or suspended,
the score will be determined after the last full inning (unless
the home team score to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half
of the inning, in which case the score is determined at the time
the game is called). Rules for the run line wagers are the same
as those for baseball totals. Wagers on total runs will be refunded
if a pitching change occurs prior to both listed pitchers throwing
at least one pitch. |
| Baseball wagers will
be accepted in the following manner: |
| - Action - team against team,
regardless of the starting pitcher. |
| - Listed - both specified
pitchers - if starting pitchers are not exactly as listed on wagering
display board, and/or your ticket, your wager will be deemed "no
action." |
| - One specified pitcher -
this is a wager on or against one specified pitcher, regardless of
the other starting pitcher. (examples: "Boston versus Helling"
for a wager against or "Helling against anyone for Boston"
for a wager on) |
| Note: in the
event there is a pitching change prior to the game, money odds may
be adjusted. If one scheduled pitcher starts against an unscheduled
pitcher, "action" wagers will be computed by the opening
price with the new pitcher. A pitcher is deemed a starting pitcher
after throwing one pitch. |

FORMULA USED TO FIGURE BASEBALL PARLAY PAYOFFS |
| Baseball Payoffs and Odds |
| Equivalent to One Dollar |
| -1.05 = .95 |
-1.85 = .54 |
Combination Baseball Payoffs |
| -1.10 = .91 |
-1.90 = .53 |
|
| -1.15 = .87 |
-1.95 = .51 |
Because of the money line used
in baseball, there are no set payoffs for tying a number of
teams together in parlays. Payoffs are determined by a simple
formula that changes the money line into a decimal number and
combines it with the other lines in the parlay. The first step
is to change the money line into a decimal. Use the chart at
the left for this purpose. For underdogs and even money lines,
use exact decimal number,
for example: +135 = 1.35, even = 1.00 |
| -1.20 = .83 |
-2.00 = .50 |
| -1.25 = .80 |
-2.10 = .48 |
| -1.30 = .77 |
-2.20 = .45 |
| -1.35 = .74 |
-2.30 = .43 |
| -1.40 = .71 |
-2.40 = .42 |
| -1.45 = .69 |
-2.50 = .40 |
| -1.50 = .66 |
-2.60 = .38 |
| -1.55 = .64 |
-2.70 = .37 |
| -1.60 = .62 |
-2.80 = .36 |
| -1.65 = .59 |
-3.00 = .33 |
| -1.70 = .57 |
-3.25 = .31 |
| -1.75 = .55 |
-3.50 = .29 |
| -1.80 = .54 |
-4.00 = .25 |
|
| How to Figure Baseball Parlays: |
For each price or odds quote on your teams,
look at their respective payoffs (to $1) and always add $1 to these
payoffs.
Multiply your bet (x)times the products of these payoffs (+$1) for
your parlay return. |
| Example: |
Bet $50 on Cardinals (-150)
Parlayed to Tigers (-130)
Bet Cardinals Tigers Return.
(-150) (-130)
$50 x 1.67 x 1.77 = $147.80
Return includes the $50 bet.
Use the same method for any number of teams. |
| Example: |
| Bet $75 on Cubs (+120) to Reds (-135) to Mets (even)
for 3 team parlay.
Bet Cubs Reds Mets Return.
(+120) (-135) (ev)
$75 x 2.20 x 1.74 x 2.00 = $574.20
(1.00 + 1.20) (1.00 + .74) (1.00 + 1.00)
Return includes the $75 bet. Remember to always add $1 to payoff
price to figure all parlays. |
