The run line and extra innings
The run line, fixed at 1.5 runs on almost every game, has the favorite listed at -1.5 and the underdog at +1.5. To cash the bet, the favorite must win by 2 or more runs; the underdog bet wins if they win outright or lose by exactly 1 run. Crucially, extra innings count toward the final run line result.
Totals
Over/Under bets hinge on projected run totals. If bettors believe the teams will combine for more runs than the total, they bet the Over; if they think the score will stay lower, they bet the Under. Extra innings count toward totals as well.
Pitcher changes and parlays
A key decision is around wagering on starting pitchers. Wagering with action means the bet stands even if a starting pitcher is scratched. But with listed pitcher bets, wagers are voided and returned if a scheduled starting pitcher is changed before the game.
Parlays, where multiple bets are grouped, fail if even one leg loses. Every selection in the parlay must win for the wager to cash.
How baseball bets settle
| Run line -1.5, favourite wins by 1 run | Bet loses |
|---|---|
| Run line +1.5, underdog loses by exactly 1 run | Bet wins |
| Run line +1.5, underdog loses by 2 or more runs | Bet loses |
| Example: ₦10,000 stake on -1.5, favourite wins 6-5 in extra innings | Stake lost, extra innings count |
| Example: ₦10,000 stake on Over 8.5, game ends 5-4 in the 10th | Over wins, extra-inning runs count |
| Listed pitcher bet, scheduled starter changed | Void, stake returned |
| Action bet, starter scratched | Bet stands |
| Parlay with one losing leg | Whole parlay graded as a loss |
