  1. For betting purposes, winners and losers are determined by the final score (including overtime), provided that the game has gone at least 55 minutes.

  2. If a game is suspended after 55 minutes and not resumed the same day, then regardless of whether the game is completed at a later date, the score when the game is halted will determine the betting results.

  3. If play is suspended before the completion of 55 minutes and not resumed the same day, all bets on the full game will be scored as "no action" and all monies refunded. If part of the game has finished (i.e. first quarter, first half, second quarter, or third quarter) those bets will be graded as action providing the entire period has finished.

Additional Rules:

  1. All bets on the game and all bets on the second half will include overtime scoring.

  2. Bets on fourth quarters will not include overtime scoring.

  3. Unless noted before the contest, as long as the event is played on the schedule day, all bets have action. In addition, if inclement weather (or similar delay) pushes the start time past midnight local time, but the game is still played, then all bets have action. If the game is rescheduled, all bets are cancelled.

  4. The NFL "Away Points/Home Points" betting proposition includes all games played in a given NFL week which includes all games played from Thursday to Monday.

  5. NFL and NCAA Propositions will be graded using the results listed at www.espn.com.

Highest/Lowest Team Total:

  1. Bets on Highest Team Total or Lowest Team Total will stand ("have action") only if games are played on the scheduled dates and at the scheduled sites, as listed on the Pinnacle Website.

  2. If teams tie for the highest team total, the winner will be the team with the greatest winning margin (least points scored by the opposition). If the winning margins are also equal, all bets on the tied teams will be graded as winners.

  3. If teams tie for the lowest team total, the winner will be the team with the greatest losing margin (most points scored by the opposition). If the losing margins are also equal, all bets on the tied teams will be graded as winners.

NFL/NCAA Live Proposition:

Team to Score Next
For the Proposition Team to Score Next, Extra Points and 2 Points Conversions are not considered a score. The point after try is considered part of the scoring TD.

For example: The line is for the Saints to Score Next (2nd Score) vs Viking to Score Next (2nd Score). If the Vikings score a TD and then kick the PAT, for grading purposes, this is one score only. Therefore, Saints vs Vikings bets on the Team to Score Next (2nd score) Proposition will remain pending.

NFL/NCAA 1st Half Propositions - Team Performance:

6 points for a win (tie 3 points for each team).
1 point for each point the team scores.

  1. For all American Football Propositions involving passing statistics for a QB, that QB must have one pass attempt for action.

  2. For all American Football Propositions involving rushing attempts/yards for a QB, that QB must play for action.

  3. For all American Football Propositions involving receiving yards on first reception or longest reception for a specific player, that player must play for action.

If the RB plays but has no rushing attempts, then yards for first attempt and longest rush propositions will be graded as zero yards, and under will be declared winner of all rushing yardage propositions.

  5. If there is a score at exactly the 7:30, 6:30, or 2:00 (etc) minute mark, then the related propositions on whether there will be a score within that time frame of the game, half or quarter will be graded yes (in other words the score would count).

  13. Special Teams and Defensive Touchdowns Propositions:

    The only touchdowns considered to be special teams touchdowns are on plays where the ball is actually kicked or punted (these include: kickoff returns, punt returns, returns of a fumbled kick return, returns of a fumbled punt return, blocked field goal returns, or blocked punt returns).A fake field goal or fake punt which results in a touchdown by the team that snapped the ball is an offensive touchdown.

  14. For propositions involving a player to "score" a TD, passing for a TD is not considered a score for the player who threw the pass (unless, in very rare instances, the passer catches his own pass). For example, if there is a prop “will any player score 2 TD's in a game”, if a player throws for a TD, and runs for a TD, he will be deemed to have one TD, not two.

  15. For “first team penalized for pass interference” props, both defensive and offensive interference counts. However, the penalty must be accepted and enforced on that play to have action.

Definition of different Money Line Wagers

Money-line wagers on baseball will be accepted in the following manner:

  1. Action - team against team, regardless of the starting pitchers. When listed pitchers are offered and there is a pitching change prior to the game, the moneyline will be re-adjusted and "action" wagers will be graded using the opening price for the new pitcher.

  2. Listed Pitchers - if both starting pitchers are not as specified at the time of the bet, the wager will be deemed "no action".

  3. One Listed Pitcher - this is a wager on or against one specified pitcher, regardless of the other starting pitcher. If the specified pitcher does not start, the wager is deemed "no action". (examples: "the Red Sox versus Helling" indicates a wager against Helling. "Helling against the Red Sox" indicates a wager on Helling).

Please Note: Typographical errors in a pitcher's name will not be grounds for wager cancellation.

Treatment of pitching changes

  1. When listed pitchers are offered, wagers on total runs (over/under) and team totals (over/under) and Run Line (handicap) and Alternate Run Line (alternate handicap) will have no action if a pitcher change occurs prior to both listed pitchers throwing at least one pitch.

  2. A pitcher is deemed a starter after throwing the first pitch to the opponent's first batter.

Treatment for date or venue change

  1. If an event is not played on its scheduled date all wagers on the event will have no action.

  2. If an event venue is changed all wagers on the event will have no action.

Treatment if event does not come to its natural conclusion

  1. If a game is called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called. Monies will be refunded if the home team ties the game and it is then suspended. Events will not carry over to the following day unless otherwise specified.

  2. If a game is called or suspended in extra innings, the score will be determined after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the score is determined at the time the game is called.

  3. In the case of a suspended playoff game that will be resumed in a span of 96 hours after its suspension, all wagers have action and will be graded after the completion of the game. If the game is not completed within the 96 hours following the time of suspension, then all bets have no action.

  4. For wagers on Live Baseball all games must go 9 innings (8.5 innings if the home team is leading) and be played to completion within 7 days of the start time to have action (except “Mercy Rule” games, see below). This rule applies to wagers on the Moneyline, Runline and Totals. Example: A live game is suspended in the 7th inning and is not resumed in 7 days. All wagers on Moneyline, Runline and Totals have no action even if the outcome of a wager is already determined. A wager on the Over 7 runs at a score of 5-8 is considered no action.

  5. For wagers on Pregame or Live Baseball on a specific inning or a group of innings those wagers have action if the specific timeframe is completed, regardless if the entire game has concluded.

  6. Wagers made prior to the start of a game in the live trading folder will be cancelled if that game is postponed after not starting on its scheduled day.

Treatment of Mercy Rule games in Live

  1. Games in which a mercy rule is invoked (such as World Baseball Classic games) will have all wagers graded based upon the final score at the time of the rule’s invocation.Treatment for double header games

  2. Every effort will be made to denote double header games as G1 and G2(Game 1 and Game 2).

  3. A wager made on a game with a G1 or G2 designation, will strictly apply to that specific game of the double header. For example, if you wager on the G1 Dodgers to beat the G1 Nationals with listed pitchers of Kershaw and Scherzer, then you'll only have action if Kershaw and Scherzer both start Game 1. If Kershaw and/or Scherzer were to start Game 2, then your wager, in this case, would not have action.

  4. If on a day where a double header is played and neither G1 nor G2 is designated on our site at the time of the wager, the following rules shall apply:a. Any listed pitcher wager, with no G1 or G2 designation, will have action on the game(either first or second of double header) that those listed pitchers start.b. An action wager will have action on the specific game(either first or second), if the listed pitchers on the site start that specific game.c. An action wager will have action on the first game of the double header, if the listed pitchers on the site don't face each other in either of the games of the double header.

  3. Pregame first half MLB bets on Money Line and Spread must go 5 innings for action, or 4.5 innings if a game is ended early and called official with the home team declared the winner.

  4. If a game does not go a full five innings, all first-half wagers on the total will have no action.

  5. When pitchers are offered for the game, all first-half wagers (5 innings) must list both pitchers. If either listed pitcher does not start, wagers on the first half (5 innings) will have no action.

  6. Live first half MLB bets on Money Line must go 5 innings for action, or 4.5 innings if a game is ended early and called official with the home team declared the winner. Live first half MLB bets on the spread and total must go the full 5 innings for action.

MLB Regular Season Wins Props:

  1. MLB regular season win bets will be graded when the following two things occur: The team, mathematically, cannot win the number of games indicated in the bet.The team, at the time of grading, is expected to play at least 160 games. In other words, there is no indication that the season will be shortened at the time of grading.

  2. For grading purposes, no extra tiebreaker games for wildcard or division will count toward the regular season win total.

  3. If there is any doubt that the season will be less than 160 games for a team, we will wait to grade regular season win bets until after the 160th game. However, once a regular season win bet has been graded, it will not be changed, even if the team ends up playing less than 160 games.

Grand Salami (Away Runs vs Home Runs):

  1. The Grand Salami will be decided by the total runs scored in all games of the specific league scheduled for that day.

The Salami will have action if all scheduled games meet the above requirement, even if there is a game(games) that is suspended after 9 innings are complete. The Salami will be graded the night of that date's games. Runs scored in the re-start of a suspended game on a future date will have no affect on the grading of a Salami wager in the regular season.

  3. For the Grand Salami (Away Runs vs Home Runs) , the home team runs will be the runs scored by the teams batting 2nd in their first inning. On rare occasions, a team batting second will not be playing at their home stadium. In these instances, the team batting 2nd will still be considered as a home team for this proposition.

MLB Hits, Runs and Errors ( MLB H-R-E)

  1. All MLB R-H-E wagers will be graded using the sum of Runs, Hits and Errors as grading factors. For example:

  2. When wagering on MLB H-R-E totals (over/unders) or MLB H-R-E spreads, the game must go 9 innings (8.5 if the home team is leading) to have action.

  3. If a game is called or suspended in extra innings, the score will be determined after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie in the bottom half of the inning in which case the score is determined at the time the game is called.

  4. For all MLB H-R-E wagers both listed pitchers must start, if pitchers are offered for the game. A pitcher is deemed a starter after throwing the first pitch to the opponent's first batter. If a listed pitcher doesn't start all wagers are no action.

MLB Prop Rules:

  1. On any prop, the player(s) must start, and either throw one pitch(if pitchers), or have one plate appearance (if position players) in the designated game for the wager to have action.

A walk, hit by pitch, error, balk, fielder’s choice, or passed ball do not count for Total Bases Propositions.

  5. Pitcher propositions "Total Runs Allowed" include both earned and unearned runs.

  6. Any MLB proposition using the phrase "innings pitched" will be graded using the box score number.

  7. For Division Winner wagers, if two teams have the same record after 162 games, the winner of the Division will be 1) the winner of the tiebreaker game, or 2) the team declared the winner by the MLB tiebreaker system for seeding playoff teams.

  8. For the Proposition "Player to hit most Home Runs in MLB?", if there is a tie at the conclusion of the regular season, the player with the highest batting average, among those tied, will be declared the sole winner.

  9. For proposition "How many no-hitters will there be in regular season?", individual and combined no-hitters will count as long as the game is completed and lasts at least 8.5 innings.

  10. For individual player prop bets to have action that player must start and the game must go at least 9 innings (8.5 innings if home team are ahead). If the game is suspended, it must be restarted on the following day, if it's not restarted on the following day, wagers will be refunded. This applies to all over/under stats for an individual.

  4. In the event that two or more golfers are tied for the lead at the end of regulation play, a sudden death playoff is normally used to determine the winner of the tournament. In this case, the winner of the playoff is the winner for betting purposes. All other golfers in the playoff will be graded as second-place finishers.

Golf Matchups:

  3. In the event of starting groups being rearranged, bets will be settled on the original groups.

  4. Breaking Ties:In case of a tie for the low score in three-ball matches, we use the European dead heat rule:If two golfers tie for the best score, a bet on either of these golfers will be settled and paid as follows: Half the bet (lay amount) is paid off at the quoted price, and half the bet loses. A bet on the golfer who finishes last is a losing bet.If all three golfers tie for the best score, a bet on any of these golfers will be settled and paid as follows: One-third of the bet (lay amount) is paid off at the quoted price, and two-thirds of the bet loses.
