NBA, NFL, and college all have money lines, too

but in Baseball, Money lines is the primary Line. and so is NHL

I think the main reason why I brought that up is when someone said that they can Bet a FB game on Wednesday @ -3 lock into that number, and if it changes to -6, his wager is still locked at -3
Where in baseball if the Pitcher is changed, they adjust the line and you no longer have that same money line.

What are you guys idiots?

If you bet action and the the starter (David price -160) and a tomato can is his replacement and the line -115, your bet and -160 still stands goes off at -160. So if you wagered 1600 to win a dime, you would now win $1391.

who are these jack wagons saying that it goes to the altered price. If you are that stupid, please PM me and I will set you up with several bookies.

First off if you are going to Ghost, you at least need to get your shit Straight.... and your Math

The op made a PARLAY, in a Parlay when a Pitcher is changed the Price/odds of the parlay is then adjusted.

and if the Bookies where you are, in California ... ahh, I mean " Las Vegas " payoff $1391 for a dime wager at -160 ... I would Love to have their numbers

You bet action, you get the adjusted price. Therefore the payout on the parlay would also be adjusted.

Yeah it's not a huge deal to me, at least they're not giving us the closing line. With the NHL though, if I get a line over night at +200 and it drops to +150 for whatever reason you still get the line you got on action. If books are adjusting properly they're still going to make the vig off the guys that got the bad line. The main reason I don't like it, is because it gives books an extra advantage. They have all the info now on where their bets are, so whats to stop them from shading the line on everyone, if everyone reopens the new line at -180 they could shade it to -200 knowing where their action is.

In all my time of booking and betting, have never seen a book do that. Not saying it isn't possible, but no legit book would do that. The first adjusted price comes out, that's what gets used.

What the average gambler doesn't understand is how competitive the industry is. The short term gain wouldn't be worth it. Besides, with the age of technology, anybody can find out what the new opening line was.

Not all books open with the same line, especially baseball. Baseball is probably the best sport to line shop, so many different lines out there on it compared to the other sports.

I'm not sure on how it all works cause I've never done bookmaking, but do all books have to open with the same line on baseball after a pitching change? Or will you see some -185, -180, -183, ect. like you see on regular opening odds? Will some books take lines off the board and wait to see what happens at other books before putting it back up. Say it reopens at -180 but then quickly moves to -190, does a book that hasn't put it back on the board yet have to give you -180, even if they're opening at -190?

They all should be close. Adjusted line comes out across the line services which I imagine 90% of the books use.

[h=3]Definition of different Moneylines Wagers[/h]Money-line wagers on baseball will be accepted in the following manner:

  1. Action - team against team, regardless of the starting pitchers. When listed pitchers are offered and there is a pitching change prior to the game, the moneyline will be re-adjusted and "action" wagers will be graded using the opening price for the new pitcher.
  2. Listed Pitchers - if both starting pitchers are not as specified at the time of the bet, the wager will be deemed "no action".
  3. One Listed Pitcher - this is a wager on or against one specified pitcher, regardless of the other starting pitcher. If the specified pitcher does not start, the wager is deemed "no action". (examples: "the Red Sox versus Helling" indicates a wager against Helling. "Helling against the Red Sox" indicates a wager on Helling)
guess it's better to list one pitcher :think2:

The way I look at it, is if you bet action on an NBA game and Lebron James doesn't start they don't adjust the line you got, so why in baseball. To me action should just mean you're betting on the game at the line you got.

I agree, I think this is how it should work.

the 1 major difference with baseball to another other sport is the pitcher. that is the 1 major position that gets changed in and out with players on a game by game basis. i understand the argument bout lebron or another star and the football argument. but mlb is not necessarily available to bet on tues for a sun game to lock in a number.
