Pittsburgh Pirates 2025 MLB Betting Lines
At the midway point of the 2025 season, the Pittsburgh Pirates have not changed anyone’s mind regarding their ineptitude and incompetence. Gamblers checked out on the Pirates long ago. Indeed, Pittsburgh is one of the top go-against clubs on the MLB board. Pittsburgh continues to splash gamblers with red ink, and no indication is going to change in the second half of the season. The Pirates last made the playoffs in 2015. And that streak of futility is expected to continue in 2025. The Pirates refuse to spend money on players and are near the bottom of the MLB payroll. Pittsburgh is getting no love in the 2025 futures market. Even in the mediocre National League Central, Pittsburgh can’t or perhaps won’t try to take advantage. The Pirates should be ashamed and have shown no signs of being serious about becoming a real contender.

Betting Rules & Policies
Free Play Rules
- Free plays cannot be used on proposition bets.
- Free Plays do not earn any BetPoints™
- Bets made using Free Plays do not count towards completing any rollovers. (Free Plays are always subject to a rollover of their own. You must complete the required rollover prior to making a withdrawal).
- The maximum payout for any Free Play is $5,000.
- Free Plays that are left unused for 180 days will be removed from your account.
ROLLOVER
- Did you know that on all deposits made at BookMaker, there is a rollover requirement: an amount of betting action you must fulfill before you are eligible to make a withdrawal.
- Did you know that rollovers are calculated by multiplying the amount initially credited to your account a certain number of times? Yes! If you deposit without claiming any bonus, the rollover will always be 1x (one-time) your deposit amount. If you do claim a deposit bonus, the rollover will be higher and is based on the deposit plus bonus amount.
Wager disputes (claims)
If you disagree with any aspect of a wager you’ve placed, you are welcome to log an official dispute (commonly known as a “claim”). Claims must be reported no later than 15 (fifteen) calendar days following the settlement of the wager.
If following an initial review of the case there remains any doubt regarding the wager type, line, market, amount, or any other detail, the claim will be escalated to the BookMaker management team. All decisions made by them are final.
Wager Cash Out - How it works
With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.
Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.
In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.
It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
