Finally a book that gets it right this is long overdue.

Way to go Bet365.

 

Pre Game
Game Total betting remains subject to the 8½ innings rule, except where the score is already over the quoted total (in such circumstances bets over will be settled as winners, with bets under settled as losers); or where the game is ‘called’ or suspended and any natural conclusion of the match would have resulted in the outcome of the Game Total being determined. e.g. MLB game is ‘called’, or suspended at 5-5, in such circumstances bets on Over 10 or 10.5 would be settled as winners, bets Under 10 or 10.5 settled as losers, since any natural conclusion to the match would have at least 11 runs.

4½ Innings Total betting will be settled on the score in the middle of the 5th innings, unless the Total quoted is already over. Where this occurs bets will be settled as follows – over bets on quoted Total will be settled as winners, under bets on quoted Total settled as losers. e.g. MLB game is ‘called’, or suspended at 2-2 at the end of the 3rd innings, bets on Over 3.5 would be settled as winners, bets Under 3.5 settled as losers, since the outcome of the quoted Total has already been determined at the time the game is ‘called’, or suspended.

This also applies to 5 Innings Total betting which is settled on the score after 5 full innings, e.g. MLB game is ‘called’, or suspended at 2-2 at the end of the 3rd innings, bets on Over 3.5 would be settled as winners, bets Under 3.5 settled as losers, since the outcome of the quoted Total has already been determined at the time the game is ‘called’, or suspended.

bet the over on any game you don't think will be completed and you can't lose.

Pretty interesting.  Although it's damn hard to predict that a game is going to be called into the game.  Usually if it's that bad they don't even start up in the first place, and if they do, it doesn't make it far enough to go over anyway.  But yeah, I guess it would add at least a small edge, which adds up and is huge.  That's why this is not the normal rule, otherwise a good strategy would be to watch the weather and bet every over when there is a chance of being shortened.

I wonder if they will keep this policy if they get burned.
