Sports Lines Rules
Lines Provided by Bodog.com
- To place a single, just click on the line of your choice
or select the checkbox next to the line you want and click
the "Single" button at the top. For more excitement try a
parlay or teaser.
1. All sporting events must take place on the date and at
the site scheduled unless otherwise specified. Time changes
within a day do not affect "Action." If any event
is postponed, rescheduled, and/or relocated before the start
of the event, that said event will automatically result in
"No Action" and your funds will be returned to your
Bodog Sportsbook, Casino and Poker account.
2. For betting purposes, the winner of an event or game
will be determined on the date of the event's conclusion,
according to house wagering rules and regulations.
3. Bodog Sportsbook, Casino and Poker does not recognize suspended
games, protests, or overturned decisions, for wagering purposes.
Maximum bets on "circled" games may be reduced.
4. Games do not have to go full regulation play for wagers
to be considered Action. Games are official for wagering purposes
according to the following:
* Pro and College Football after 55 minutes of play
* Pro Basketball after 43 minutes of play
* College Basketball after 35 minutes of play
* Hockey after 55 minutes of play
* Baseball Moneylines after 5 innings (4.5 innings if home
team is winning)
* Baseball Totals/Runlines after 9 innings (8.5 innings if
home team is winning.
If a baseball game goes 9 innings or more and is NOT completed
(suspended, rain, darkness, etc.) wagers on the runline and
total still have action.
* Boxing after the bell has sounded to start first round
* Tennis head-to-head matches will be settled as No Action
if either player retires before the match is completed
* Soccer after 40 minutes of the second half have been completed
5. Other Rules
Football/Basketball/Hockey
* Overtime periods are counted in the final score for both
Side Bets and Totals.
* On First Half wagers, the First Half must be completed entirely,
or it will be a no bet.
* Pro and College Football games are official for wagering
purposes after 55 minutes of play.
* Pro Basketball games are official after 43 minutes of play.
College Basketball games are official after 35 minutes of
play.
* Hockey games are official after 55 minutes of play.
* On all Second Half, Fourth Quarter, and Third Period wagers,
overtime is included in the final score.
Baseball
* Wagers on the Runline or Total Runs require both listed
pitchers to throw the first pitch for wagers to have action,
so wagers on the Runline or Total will be refunded if a pitching
change occurs prior to both listed pitchers throwing at least
one pitch.
* When wagering on the Moneyline, you have the option to specify
which Listed Pitchers must pitch for your wager to have action.
You may specify whether both pitchers must start (known as
both or boxed), one pitcher (on or against) or no pitchers
(action) by marking the appropriate boxes when making your
wager.
Example:
Single Wager
Baseball - MLB Moneyline
Cleveland Indians -150, Sun @8:05p
Bartolo Colon (R) must throw first pitch for Cleveland Indians
or this pick is NO ACTION
Aaron Sele (R) must throw first pitch for Anaheim Angels or
this pick is NO ACTION
* Baseball games are official for wagering purposes according
to the following:
o Moneylines After 5 innings (4.5 if the home team is winning)
o Totals/Runlines After 9 innings (8.5 if the home team is
winning)
o If a game is called or suspended, the winner shall be 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 then it is suspended. Events
will not carry over to the following day (unless otherwise
specified). Bodog Sportsbook, Casino and Poker does not recognize
suspended games, protests, overturned decisions, etc. for
wagering purposes, and all wagers must go the day written,
otherwise said wagers will be deemed "No Action",
with all monies being refunded accordingly.
o If a baseball game goes 9 innings or more and is NOT completed
(suspended, rain, darkness, etc.) wagers on the runline and
total still have action.
o Parlays involving a "No Action" Runline or Total
and Teasers involving a "No Action" Total will be
reduced/pushed appropriately. See the "Parlays"
and "Teasers" section in the "Bet Types"
portion of the Help section if further clarification is needed.
o IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the bettor to independently
verify the starting pitchers for each game they place a wager
on.
Soccer
* Soccer results are official after 40 minutes of the second
half have been completed.
* Dates and bet times of all matches on Bodog Sportsbook,
Casino and Poker's web site are for guidance purposes only,
and may be amended or taken off the board at any time. If
this is done, all bets placed prior to the match shall be
deemed void and returned. If any match is abandoned, or postponed
more than 24 hours, all bets will be deemed void.
* Soccer on the moneyline is a three-outcome event, which
means that you can pick either of the two teams to win, or
you can pick a draw. If you do NOT pick the draw, and the
game ends in a tie, then the wager is a loss.
* Unless otherwise specified, the score at the end of regulation
(90 minutes + injury time) will be used for wagering purposes
and does not include results from extra time, golden-goals
or penalty shoot-outs.
* MLS regular season games do include Overtime (two added
five-minute "golden-goal" halves played after regulation)
for wagering purposes.
Golf
* All bets have action, even if a competitor withdraws for
any reason (unless the entire tournament is cancelled).
* Should a tournament be shortened, or otherwise affected,
the official result will be used when settling, regardless
of the number of rounds played.
* For PGA Head-to-Head bets, a winner is determined by the
virtue of being the player who completes the most holes. If
both players complete the same number of holes, the player
with the best score relative to par will be declared the winner.
Both players must tee off for bets to have action.
* The "Field" option, in a given list of odds featuring
players' names, represents all other players not listed.
* Tournament must be completed within 7 days from the start
of the tournament for wagers to have action.
Tennis
* Tennis head-to-head matches will be settled as No Action
if either player retires before the match is completed.
* All tournaments operate on a straight knockout basis, with
top players being separated by a seeding system.
* Betting is available on which player will win the championship
(Tournament Lines), the outcome of a single event (Head-to-Head),
and even the number of sets required for a player to win a
match (Props).
* The "Field" option, in a given list of odds featuring
players' names, represents all other players not listed.
* Head-to-head matches must be played within 48 hours of originally
scheduled time for wagers to have action.
Boxing
* A boxing match is considered official after the bell has
sounded to start the first round.
* A wager placed on a Boxing round is considered a full round
only when the bell sounds to end that round. Upon the stoppage
of a fight in mid-round, the exact time of that round will
be used for round proposition betting.
* A "Draw" is an official outcome whereby neither
of the contestants is deemed to have won the bout, essentially
a 'tie'.
* A "No Contest" is an official outcome whereby
neither contestant is deemed to have won the bout as a result
of the fight being declared "No Action" by the referee.
* All matches must start within 7 days of originally scheduled
time for wagers to have action.
Motor Sports (NASCAR/F1)
* All bets have action, even if a competitor withdraws for
any reason unless the entire race is cancelled.
* The official winner (NASCAR or F1) at the conclusion of
the race will be used for wagering purposes.
* For Head-to-Head bets, both drivers must start the race
for the bets to have action.
* The "Field" option, in a given list of odds featuring
drivers' names, represents all other drivers not listed.
* Bets are on driver only - not on a specific car.
* Important Note: NASCAR and F1 events will be deemed "Action"
as long as they are run within 7 days of the scheduled start
time.
