The Nevada Gaming Control Board is examining what action should be taken concerning incidents of past-posting in wagers on Asian baseball at betting terminals in the Bellagio.
An error in the BetMGM system entered the wrong start times for games, which enabled customers to bet pre-game prices well after the games had begun. The edge resulted in bettors winning nearly $250,000 on the terminals.
Since neither MGM or the state has specific rules relating to past-posting, the gaming board is weighing how to deal with the situation. Experts quoted on the Legal Sports Report website predicted last week that the board is likely to void the wagers, and refund the wagers to players.
According to ESPN, around 50 wagers were placed, including a bet on over 9.5 runs in one game after five runs were scored in the first inning. On another bet, a team was backed as an underdog despite leading 10-2.
