I went back as far as 1968 looking at how many No Hitters were pitched in each year. I was looking for years that had 4 or more. This is what I came up with.
went back to 1968
1968 5 No Hitters
1969 6 No Hitters
1970 4 No Hitters
1973 5 No Hitters
1976 4 No Hitters
1990 7 No Hitters
1991 7 No Hitters
2010 6 No Hitters
2012 7 No Hitters
Big space between 1991 and 2010 but more then I thought.
In this town I seen a prop for O/U 4 No hitters -110
At (XXXXXXXX Sports) for 4 or more they give you 4/1 so I had a live chat to confirm.
Unless I was missing something in town this is a huge discrepancy.
Here's the Chat.
[Jackie] Thank you for contacting (XXXXXXX Sports,) how may I help you today?
[XXXXXXX] On your baseball prop of No-Hitters I have a question, It say's 4 or more No Hitters +400 (4/1) so if in this year they pitch 5 No Hitters during the baseball season and I put $100 on the prop I get back $500
[Jackie] Please hold while I check into this, I'll be with you in just a moment
[XXXXXXXX] Thank You
[Jackie] You win $400 and get the $100 from your bet back, this will be the total $500
[XXXXXXXX] thank you
[Jackie] You're welcome! Have a great day!
Let me add this has to be overall one of the worst March Madness tournaments in recent memory for me. Most of These games are so boring. not all but most.

The only neg would be the rule change a few years ago on what constitutes a no-no. Shut out and other
What rule change is that 27 outs no hits No Hitter I'm not following
I have to look into that because that would mean only the road pitcher can pitched a no hitter. Now we know last year home team pitchers pitched a no hitter and was credit with a no hitter and went into the record books as pitching a no hitter. I would thing like any other prop what ever MLB. or Sporting News which ever one they use if it's official with them it's an official no hitter and will go into the record books as such.
I feel like you that there's something I'm missing. I would like to call and ask a clerk straight what's the hook and be honest and tell him out here it was -110 and know after calling a friend it's +135 for 4 or more. It's just weird and also no hitters have been pitched where the pitcher lost the game it happens. I'll say it again it's weird.
No OT, that would mean that only the road pitcher could pitch a no hitter that was not a shutout.
I'm curious, what is the average No-hitters per season?
Not quite. It means only the road pitcher can lose an 8 inn no-hitter, which is pretty rare indeed.
You'd have 8 winners for 3200
1 push and
36 losers for -3960.
I took it back to a different era there are guys playing Major League baseball today that couldn't make a roster in the 60's early 70's so lets just talk for now about the last three years There has been 16 no hitters. At one time it seem like when someone pitched a no hitter it was like an honor just to see it now it seems quite often pitchers have No hitters going into 7,8 and 9th innings 16 the 13 that's posted and there was 3 in 2011. There's a lot of bad teams out there and of course to pitch a no hitter you need luck and with the steroid era not like it once was (It's still out there) maybe that has something to do with it.
It's just the wide difference in Odds between here and there that I'm questioning. I just have a feeling the rules to this 4/1 bet that might come out after the fact and I'm not interested in getting involved. I looked for posted rules but there none that I can find anyway.
