All total bets must go the prescribed length, example, over total number of wins for a football team is not official until 16 games have been played.

Baseball: Winners and Losers are official after 5 innings of play. If the Home team is leading, the game is official after 4 1/2 innings. Thereafter, if a game is called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called. When wagering on the Total Runs, the game must go 9 innings (8 1/2 if the home team is ahead) to have "action".
