For the purpose of sports betting, when would a baseball game be final?

A baseball game does not have to be completed for bets to be valid. The following guidelines are used to settle wagers: a moneyline wager will be official after five full innings. 4.5 innings if the home team is winning.

All runline and total wagers become official when nine innings have been completed. (Eight and a half innings in case the home team wins). A game that is stopped prior to completion of 9 innings played will result in Total and Runline bets settling as No Action. If a game is NOT finished and runs for more than eight innings (i.e. stopped, rain delay, or lack of light) Runline and Total still have action and will be settled according to rule 3 below.

In case a baseball game goes at least nine innings while NOT being finished (i.e. stopped, rain delay, or lack of light)action will still be occurring on wagers of the runtime and total.

Should the game be suspended for any reason, the score from the last competed inning will settle all bets.
In that case score at the time of suspension will be used to settle all wagers.

Any bets placed on games that are suspended or postponed do not carry over to the rescheduled time.
