Agreed on both counts. This has happened before and should have been changed them, but sometimes it takes a prominent example. I lost in the exact same situation in '07 (I think), Cubs at Pirates. They actually took the lead in the top of the 7th but it was suspended. Cubs ML loser. What's worse is I had hedged in-game on Pirates and had that voided.
I can't believe the Mirage is doing this. Philly tickets will need to be paid no matter what, I'm sure that rule is clearly posted.
Maybe they are just giving a freeroll to TB bettors, with Philly being paid either way - as some kind of goodwill promotion - that's the only way it makes sense.
As for 5D, they are no humanitarians; Tony probably had significantly more action on Philly and saw this as a way to weasel out. No allegedly reputable book takes shots at it's own players as much as 5D ! None.

My point is simply that there is no rhyme or reason for their customers to think that the livebets would follow under any different rules.
and the LIVE bets should be treated by the same rules.
the only rule they have overriding it is this:
Now that statement is certainly not enough to override all baseball rules?
Matchbook for example correctly specified that aall LIVE wagers must go 8.5 innings, but not pinnacle.
thus,
any logical person would assume standart rules apply.
