Seem weird to anyone that the suspended game 5 in the World Series is counted as a final at sportsbook.com, and a 2-1 Phillies victory?

Is this "no suspended games" rule common for a book? Are those Vegas rules as well?

They have to have made a mistake...did you cantact them?

Agreed. Sportsinteraction has it right. The game hasn't ended. I know the house is powerful, but they ain't that influential.

Actually, it is the Vegas House rule and is positively in Sportsbook.com's rules. A suspended game is not suspended to them. They revert back to the last completed inning (as long as it is the 4.5 or completed 5th) and that is their final score.

But hey, at least they got a line on tonight's 3 innings.

That's a bad beat sir.

Better you than me though.

Here ya go Pup.

Could be that Sportsinteraction just handles it differently or because my wager was a parlay with over/under involved.

This link confirms Pup's thoughts. Vegas reverts back to the previous half inning, which allows the Phillies to show as 2-1 winners.

Wow that is an interesting rule, that I had no clue exsisted.

Anyone remember the game where Robin Ventura hit a game-winning "single" for the Mets during a playoff game? I remember it quite well.

For game 5, i parlayed the phillies SU and the under on bodog. It was 60 to win 130. I ended up with 90. Dont know why, but im not going to argue it.
