official rule on baseball props?

[Dukey]

What is the official Las Vegas rule concerning baseball props? Does a game have to be fully completed in order for the prop to have action? Or does the game simply have to go a certain number of innngs in order to have action?

I haven't seen a clear explanation anywhere regarding this matter.

For example, if I bet a pitcher to go over 6 innings, and he does, but the game is called after 8 innings because of rain, do I win or is it no action? There are a lot more examples, but I'm sure everybody gets the point.

Dukey,

The only point I get in your thread is manners. When I ask for something from others, I try to include the words thank you or please!

Dukey,
All baseball props must go the full 9(8½) innings unless otherwise stated. They also must start the listed pitchers. Other sports must be completed as well or within 5 minutes.

Rich,

Thanks for the info. I also didn't know that the starting pitchers had to start the game. The scheduled starters rules is particularly important, because sometimes a prop is already up, and the pitching change occurs afterwards.

Ronbets,
I don't know what your problem is, but I think you have better things to complain about. Get a life, PLEASE.

Dukey,

When rookies report to camp they dont demand things! They ask repectfully. And if the rest of the team respects their demeanor theyll answer. Oh by the way, thats after they shave your head.

In the future feel free to ask me any elementary question you have. Limit one per day.

P.S. From your wealth of knowledge and experience come the words "nobody can beat video poker" Still believe it rookie??

[Dukey]

Ronbets,

Well, I got an answer, didn't I, Ronbets? My question was not posed in a rude way. I simply forgot to add a thanks at the end. Crucify me for that if you wish.

You see things that aren't there, such as rude manners on my part. I'll bet that when you look in the mirror, you think you see a good looking person, but that isn't there either. You say that I asked an elementary question, so do me a favour by not getting down from your pedestal to answer it.

If you have a problem with me, then that's your prerogative. As far as video poker is concerned, since some people have mentioned that it can be beaten with perfect play, comps, etc..., then I will accept that.

My point is that video poker is a computer program, and the second that the programmers decide to eliminate or decrease the probability of certain hands, situations, etc..., then people will not be able to profit from them.

Any game that is controlled by a computer program can be programmed never to be beaten if the creators of the program so desired. So I am happy that people can beat video poker, but how long it will be allowed to continue is the most important question.

And since we're all a team, don't forget we are all gathering over the all-star break for Scott Landau's 'Home Restoration Project'! Bring your tools and your muscle; we have a mountain of work to complete in just 3 days. Start time is 7-10, 8AM EST, sharp!...OK, Aussie Vamp, you're excused.

Scott,

I'd love to, but I have a bad back. I even have a doctor's note. That's what I tell all my friends when it is moving time. But, I'd be more than happy to supervise. lol

Dukey, definitely check the rules THOROUGHLY before you post with a book, especially with the "other sports" types, such as tennis. I got burned on a a tennis scalp, 'cause Willhill voids matches if the loser retires, which is not the norm.

Ronbets, you are acting COMPLETELY immature and downright silly. If you were the manners police, I definitely wouldn't wish for martial law, 'cause you're making an example out of the wrong post.

[Ronbets]

Gooden,

You might be right about my reaction to his post. But the above and I have some history(prior posts). This on my part is a carry over from a previous encounter. I perceived the situation of a a novice entering the scene with a closed mind and a large ego. I feel he needs to respect his elders opinions. Not to be treated as gospel, but to heed its merits. Sorry, I will try not to carry this grudge.--Ron

[Dukey]

Gooden,

There are certain things that I take for granted. One of them is that there is always action on a proposition (one on one matchup), as long as both participants start. I would have assumed that a tennis match would be "action" everywhere, even if one participant had to retire after the first serve.

That sucks, Gooden. That rule at William Hill makes absolutely no sense, but if they have it clearly posted in their rulebook, then I guess we have to accept it.

Ronbets,

I am a novice, with a closed mind, and big ego, who has to respect his elders' opinions. Gee, am I the one who is trying to start a fire here? You are not going to win too many friends with your personal attacks. If you want to have a discussion about video poker, I am more than willing.

[gooden]

RB, that's cool.

This is a pretty important topic, 'cause I would have to assume that many, as I once did, don't pay enough attention to the rules. One other example that I can think of, where rules could catch someone offguard, concerns boxing. One needs to view rules regarding ties and other types of stoppages.

Proceed with caution!
