Is this accurate ... Industry Standard??

[Wanger]

Same rules in Vegas?

Yes

 

[doubledeuce22]

Been this way as long as I've been betting. Basic baseball wagering.

 

[Defying]

It's a bad rule

 

[RunLeeRun]

It should, but some people want a bet regardless.

Aint that the truth. A lot of guys cant understand why all sports dont follow the same rules. Soccer is another one. Every time it goes to overtime, phone call.

i agree its a dumb rule but yes i had this issue many years ago and you bet the adjusted line automatically

 

[RenoChazz]

Its the same way in vegas, I don't like it either, but it's not that big of a deal for me. I don't cap MLB based on pitching so I always take action, because I make my bets based on what I think the market is going to do. At least they give you the new opening line instead of the closing line, otherwise it would be a deal breaker for me. New opening line isn't ideal but its acceptable.

 

[The Guesser]

I'm so bothered by this

Is there any other circumstance in any sport where a wager is accepted at one price but allows the book to change the line listed

Only thing in any way similar I can think of is Horse racing. Nothing more annoying than betting a 3-1 shot at Yonkers with 1 minute to Post, and then seeing the hit down to 3:5 AFTER the freaking gate opens.
