Never noticed this before as I admit I am awful about reading the rules but a site has this posted....


6. When is the latest I can wager on a sporting event?

A: We keep games open longer than anyone:

- Football: until team crosses 50 yard line or an early turnover.
- Baseball: until runner is on base.

- Basketball: after one minute of play.
- Hockey: scheduled starting time



Just seems odd. If a game is a defensive struggle and neither team gets past the 50 the wagering remains open? What if a baseball game goes 3 innings without a runner, can I still bet the under since no one reached base? Or do they close it after a while regardless of what happens. No big issue here, just curious if this is common and people have seen this before?

I've seen these same rules Pat and wondered the same. OK, which one of us is going to try it first?!

Next game where there is a defensive battle going on and nobody has crossed the 50, let's lay the under and see if they accept it. I'm sure though, as usual, the book(s) will "twist" the rules in their favor, as they usually do.....

I can't even remember where I've seen this, but I know I have, because I was thinking the exact same thing as Pat above. Apparently Pat has seen it more recently, so I'm sure he will enlighten us.

I believe the "not crossing the 50 yard line yet" rule only applies to the first drive. I know mvpbets.com was one book who had this among their wagering acceptance rules.

Interesting

What a pain in the *ss it must be locking those games down every freaking day. That would drive me bananas.
