Are team totals in baseball allowed?

Are team totals in baseball allowed?

yes they are.

 

[RenoChazz]

Plays that are acceptable:

• Full game Spread
• Full game Totals
• Full game Money line
• First Half Spread
• First Half Total
• First half Money line
• Parlays, But only up to 6 teams
• Teasers, But only 2 and 3 teams

Absolutely no :

• 2nd half plays.
  
• Props of any kind.
  
• Teasers that are more than 3 teams.
  
• Parlays that are more than 6 teams.
  
• Pleasers or other Exotics.
  
• Open Teasers or Parlays.
  
• Futures.
  
  
• When upgrading a play where the line has changed, I will grade both plays as one, but will use the new line posted when grading the play. So if you post Siena -4 for 2 units and decide to upgrade with Siena -3 for an additional unit, I will treat it as one play on Siena -3 for 3 units. Similarly, if just the odds change, I will grade the total units on the play using the most recent odds. For example, a poster has Boston -145 (1 unit) and later wants to add a unit but the odds are -155, the play will become Boston -155 (2 units).
  
  
• When upgrading where the line has not changed, just add the units. Graded as one play.
  
  
• On the flip side, if you're looking to downgrade a play, a new play must be posted as a hedge (or opposite side) of the original. Graded as 2 separate plays. Just trying to keep the poster and myself on the same page when posting results, whether it be W-L records or total profit/loss.
  
  
• When posting parlays, include the odds for each leg. If there's a push I have no way of figuring the reduced odds.
  
  
• If you have a comment for a poster, post it in the Discussion thread.. not in their thread. Everyone will see it there. Please stay out of any threads you did not start.

Also:

We are willing to let it slide, within reason. But please make every effort possible to remember to post the book where you are getting your odds from! Especially if it is a good number or a type of play no one else seems to be able to find.

Hi JOH

I missed you somehow... all set now. sorry.

Mr. JOH, I thought this was a better venue to try to explain my plays. Anytime I get a line from a local and I have seen this online lines also, and in Vegas, They may say total is 8 O (OVER), 8 U (UNDER) , 8F (FLAT). 8 O being -120 sometimes -115 if you bet the OVER, if you bet Under and the line is 8O, it is only -100. It has nothing to do with units!! I was wrong in not putting -120 or -115. But I see it common as seeing a play of OVER 8 O. I am not doing a good job of explaining this, sorry. I always thought that O8U needed no explanation other than, and I believe books only go to -115 or -120, the price which I didn't list but my particular pick was O 8U which is always -100. Sorry about this. OK??? ATLSLIM

 

[JOH]

So just tell me this... if your line is Over 8U, are you betting Over 8 or Under 8?

 

[ATLSLIM]

You still misunderstand, the line is either 8O, 8U or 8F. The Play is O8U, that is my play not the line,Over 8 Under is the play. The line is 8Under and I want OVER. I can't believe you never heard the term Over8Under or O8U. You were correct in the fact that I failed to put a price on it.As I said before my books have always been -120 if you play Over on 8Over or Under 8Under, if you lose.+100 if you win of course. Sorry about this!

That's what I meant... if your PLAY is Over 8U. Anyway, no I've never heard of it... so there you go. It just seems confusing... and btw, the rules say you should be using regular sportsbooks... not locals. FWIW.

 

[ATLSLIM]

FWIW, I didn't know local lines were not allowed, ignorance is no excuse. I will use available sportsbook lines, yet they are always very close to my locals. Thanks for the rule book! ATLSLIM

 

[JOH]

#4. You must use WIDELY AVAILABLE lines at the time of posting. No locals will be accepted as line sources. Any line used must be displayed on Rx. live lines by at least one live lines book or top tier book at the time the pick is posted. Please post at least one book from Rx. Live Lines or other top tier book as the source of you're line with each pick
