I had UNC -35 a year or two ago at home vs Old Dominion. It was 77-0 and the coaches agreed to run the clock in the 4Q so it invalided the bet. Every sport is different.
Rules are important to prop bets as well. Some books have props that are action, some are "must start". This is very valuable in Basketball when a story breaks late that a player is hurt and wont start and play reduced minutes.
Tigers won on ML last night.
A regulation game is 4.5 innings if the home team is leading or 5 innings if tied or the home team is behind. If a game is called for weather before becoming a regulation game the game is wiped off the books as if it had never happened and has to be replayed in its entirety.
If the Tigers would of took the lead in the top of the 7th and the game was called before the Home Team batted they would go back to what the score was the previous inning and grade the bets accordingly.
The only exception to this is in the playoffs, where all games that are postponed for weather are considered suspended and resumed at the point they had to stop.
The rule above would have no barring for betting purposes. It would be graded a winner or loser as long as it went the 4.5 to 5 innings even in the Post Season.
