Asian Handicap details:

Asian handicap betting applies a handicap to the favourite and reduces the possible number of outcomes from three (in traditional 1X2 wagering) to two by eliminating the draw outcome. The handicap, which is either a whole number, a half-number or a mix of those, is trying to balance the market. In the event that a whole number is used for the handicap, the handicap adjusted final score could result in a draw where all bettors have their original wagers returned as there is no winner while quarter (¼) handicaps split the bet between the two closest ½ intervals where the bettor can win and tie (win ½ of wager) or lose and tie (lose ½ wager). The stake is automatically divided equally and placed as 2 separate bets.

The average game duration mainly depends on the performance of the teams and the score in the 8^th^ / 9^th^ inning. The game will be continued until it is decided.

In total, a season contains 2100 games and will take an approximated 262 days to complete. Total Games

15 Home Teams x 14 Away Teams x 2 (NL & AL) x 5 games = 2100 games

Total Days

2100 x 3 (approx. hours per game) = ~6300 hours = 262 days

6.3 MLB Disclaimer

The Customer is obliged to follow the MLB guidelines, which read that a general notice must be displayed in any instance where the Virtual Baseball In-Play Services are used.

To make this easy for the customer, Betradar will display an MLB disclaimer for approximately 6 seconds each time a user launches the Virtual Baseball In-Play product. Should the customer provide MLB trademarked material on their website that doesn’t contain our video, a general notice must be provided.

This general notice shall be included (i.e., in a reasonable and ordinary location): “Major League Baseball trademarks and copyrights are used with permission of Major League Baseball. Visit MLB.com.”

6.4 Betting

Betting markets are closed 5 seconds prior to the start of a pitch. Furthermore, bets can be placed on at-bat, half-inning, inning and game level. Once an outcome is decided it should be settled. However, once a pitch is over, markets will be re-activated. A pitch is only counted when the pitcher pitched a ball to the batter. Therefore a pick-off (which can result in a half-inning change or game end) is not counted as pitch.

Team names and logos are taken from the real MLB. To shorten the overall season duration, the tournament system is simplified. Every team plays each other team from the same league (American League and National League) twice (home and road). Players performances are derived from real players of those teams but the players are replaced using random appearances and different names.

All games are broadcast as live video streams through an integrated media player in your browser. The game simulations are created through a combination of Artificial Intelligence and independent random number generators.
