whatsamatta u the bet would only be good where the outcome of the game would not change, the under would not be a lock it could change if the score was still under of course only when the bet is a winner or loser and that bet could not be changed by the rest of the game,,if u bet the under and the score is 10-7 and is already over u can not win so why would the bet be cancelled if the game is called after 6 innings???
No it didn't- this is my point- it bounced over the wall- my contention is the flight off the ball- it landed and bounced over the wall- like I said
many times I bet the cubs- so it's merely a baseball discussion- not a wager quesition.... Mainly because many times I've watched a game in bottom Hal needing a total and wishing for hr or ground rule double... I've won the rl or total by the walk off hr before... Just would be nice to know if situation appeared again of gr double would do it... Yesterday seemed to give mr my answer- but then again it wasn't a "ground rule" it was what is called an automatic double
believe it or not- long before we were all born- a ball that bounced over the wall used to be called a hr- until 1930 ish I believe
Kash, what I meant to say is game O/U's are designed with a minimum 8.5/9 innings of play. Bullpens and other late-game factors come into play when they set that line. Books are pretty clear about O/U's having to go the distance to count. Is just the rules, and to me it makes sense, at least from the book's perspective.
At least 20 of Babe Ruth's HRs were actually what we now call "ground rule doubles" -- but that was the rule then as Zeke mentioned.
Back to the issue at hand, here is the answer from the baseball rules (and it has already been mentioned , this is only the ruling). The only exception I believe is a HR, otherwise there is no 2-base advancement to win a bases-loaded tie game in the bottom of an inning. Everything else is considered a single:

10.06(f) Subject to the provisions of Rule 10.06(g), when a batter ends a game with a safe hit that drives in as many runs as are necessary to put his team in the lead, the official scorer shall credit such batter with only as many bases on his hit as are advanced by the runner who scores the winning run, and then only if the batter runs out his hit for as many bases as are advanced by the runner who scores the winning run.
Rule 10.06(f) Comment: The official scorer shall apply this rule even when the batter is theoretically entitled to more bases because of being awarded an "automatic" extra-base hit under various provisions of Rules 6.09 and 7.05.
He lost a lot of home runs, also, on what were then called fouls and would now be fair. Here's a reprint of an old Baseball Digest article:
