1.4 Asian Handicap
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.
Please refer to the following examples regarding settlement of bets:

The Virtual In-Play Baseball provides 24/7/365 real money betting experience on virtual baseball. Competitions are generated continuously and bets can be placed at any time, even within a game on individual pitches, upcoming half-innings including individual batter, innings and the whole game.
6.2 Game information
Games are generated continuously – a new one will be started as soon as the current one has finished.
As every game is a live simulated event, there is no determined game schedule. The following average timings can be used as a guideline:
• Avg. pitch duration (event cycle time): ~31 seconds
• Avg. half-inning duration: ~10 minutes
• Avg. inning duration: ~19 minutes

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

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

6.5 Miscellaneous
Virtual Baseball In-Play uses registered trademarks of the Major League Baseball (MLB). The use of the trademarks is limited to this product and related initiatives like marketing campaign or general advertisement.
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. Simultaneously, the performance parameters of the VBI players are based on professional baseball players (e.g. in terms of batting average, on base percentage, etc.).
