Hit-and-miss at a lot of other spots.

I've seen it elsewhere but never on a consistent basis.

That's possible.

I've seen it a few times at places like Boyd, Station Casinos and Westgate.

I would think that Rainouts make this a maddening bet.

Has to be frustrating to have the clear winner...but Pushed out if just one of 16 games is postponed.

No doubt about it.

Terrible rule.

I've stated my solution on several occasions.

Use the forfeit score of 9-0 on games that are rained out or suspended.

Nobody wants to sweat a rain delay.

I would rather see an adjusted grand salami total with the given game removed from the total. Simply look at the weather report and for any games where the weather might be in question you offer a grand salami minus that game or games.

Probably too much work to do this but to have a grand salami total with all games that have zero risk of cancellation doesnt sound like that difficult of a solution.

Obviously, you can't use a 9-0 score. There is a side (road/home) Grand Salami as well.

Very little chance the books will change. Its a simple rule, and there is no incentive for the books that offer it to change.

I think Home/Away runs should be a go, no matter the number of games completed to the finish.

The 9-0 forfeit score on suspended or postponed games is a simple rule and covers all possibilities.

Interesting to note: The average number of runs scored in a baseball game since the start of the 2015 season is very close to 9.00.

The books should be in favor of getting a result every night in the Grand Salami or Home/Away Runs props.
