Official Game: A baseball (side) bet becomes official for betting purposes after 5 innings of play or 4.5 innings if the home team has the lead. Should a game be suspended, the winning side is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie or take 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. Bets get refunded if the home team ties the game and then it goes into suspension. Suspended games become no action if they have to stop and start up the next day. This is not to be confused with a game going past midnight. Continuous action of a game is by all means official action.
Totals (Over/Under Bets): Unlike sides, totals must go the whole way to be considered action. The only exception is if a game goes 8.5 innings because the home team is leading after the top of the ninth inning. All "totals" use listed pitchers. A change in starting pitchers by one or both teams would be considered no action on a total. It's rare, but does happen. If a game doesn't go the full game it is refunded and dubbed no action.
Runlines and Prop Bets: These are dealt with the same way totals are. They have to finish and there can't be any pitching changes otherwise their deemed no action.
