bovada baseball run line got voided because pitcher changed even tho market said listed.

Had a run line bet on a baseball game and it got voided last minute because one of the pitchers changed. What’s weird is the market clearly said it was “listed” pitchers, so I assumed that was baked in. I double checked right after and the odds still reflected the original starters, so it wasn’t like they made an immediate shift. I don’t place a ton of bets during the regular season but usually when I see “listed” it means it only counts if those actual starters throw the first pitch.

Not my first time dealing with this, but it’s confusing because I thought these sites or books would handle it automatically. Even contacted support and got a canned answer. Never really got a clear read on their policy or how strictly they follow “listed” vs. “action.” Kinda puts a dent in trying to plan anything ahead of time, which is already a challenge with baseball lines jumping all over. Anyone else run into this? How do you deal with getting voided like this when you’re actually betting based on the listed starter?

The fact that the odds didn't immediately change doesn't necessarily mean the original pitchers were still locked in. Sometimes the market stays visible while they're waiting for the official lineup confirmation.

If the ticket doesn’t list BOTH pitchers by name, I treat baseball run lines like slots tbh. Too much mushy house-rule nonsense.

Yeah, I’ve had that exact stunt: they leave the opening line up after the scratch, let people click, then decide later whether your ticket exists. That’s the part that stinks, not the word “listed.” It’s why I’d rather play poker than babysit a baseball book acting cute with stale numbers.

Seen it, yes. On roulette they hide behind house rules too!!! Did your ticket show both pitcher names, or just "listed"?

Yeah, and I quit treating “listed” like some sacred switch lol. I got burned on a promo run line once because the starter scratched late and support acted like a fax machine, so now if baseball’s tied to a pitcher I assume the book will find a way to void it and call that policy.
