Didn't take long for "new" action/listed Sportsbook rule


In general, MLB bets are placed on the Listed pitcher. So you really aren't betting on the Yankees or Nats, you're betting on Cole starting vs Scherzer starting.

If the Listed pitchers don't start, then the bet is void.

But this year, many Sportsbooks have switched to "Action" -- which means you *are* betting on the Yankees or Nats, regardless of any pitchers.

Could make for some crazy swings in the gambling world -- where the Yankees are -380 with Cole, and then Cole is replaced by a bum, and the line drops to -185. But all the early bettors are still stuck with their -380 bets.

So how much is that information worth? Knowing a pitcher will be scratched, 7 hours before his scheduled start?
