If final score falls exactly on the number, the wager is “No Action” and will be refunded. This price is -110 on each side in this example.
The player may wager on the game to go over or under this number. This is the combined number of runs scored by both teams. The number at the far right (9 ½) is the Total (Over/Under) on the game. All baseball wagers are action regardless of the starting pitcher. When betting the run line, the game must go at least 9 innings or 8.5 innings if the home team is ahead. The player may wish to give 1 ½ runs with Chicago and win $14 for every $10 wagered. Philadelphia could lose the game by 1 run and the player would still win. The player making this wager is getting 1 ½ runs with Philadelphia by laying $160 for every $100 he wants to win. The Run Line in baseball is similar to the pointspread in other sports, except the payouts vary according to the money line odds and are not most often set at -110 on each side. The number to the right of the Money Line is the Run Line. A wager on Philadelphia would win $105 for every $100 wagered or $10.50 for every $10. To win $10, he would bet $11.50 and collect $21.50 if Chicago wins. Chicago is a -115 favorite, which means for every $100 the player wants to win on Chicago, he must lay $115. In this example, Philadelphia is the home team.
