Baseball Betting: The Basics
Overview
Discover how to bet on baseball and why it's an excellent choice for novice bettors.Introduction
If you're new to sports betting and looking for an easy entry point, baseball is your best bet. Unlike football and basketball, which involve complex point spreads, baseball betting relies on simpler terms like the money line. Plus, with a longer season, there are more opportunities to win. Here’s a straightforward guide to getting started.Key Differences
While football and basketball betting involve point spreads, baseball uses the money line.Understanding Point Spreads
In football and basketball, the sportsbook adjusts the odds by manipulating points. They subtract points from the favorite (most likely to win) and add points to the underdog (less likely to win).Understanding the Money Line
In baseball, the focus is solely on the game outcome. Bettors must risk more on the favorite and less on the underdog, which is the money line.Example:
- If the money line is -170 for the favorite and +150 for the underdog:
- Bet $170 on the favorite to win $100.
- Bet $100 on the underdog to win $150.
The difference between odds, like -170 and +150, is called the "line." Common variations include the twenty-cent line and the ten-cent (dime) line.
Other Betting Options
Sportsbooks also offer total bets and run lines.Total Bets
Total bets focus on the combined score of both teams. For instance, if the over/under is set at 7:- "Over" wins if the total score is more than 7.
- "Under" wins if the total is less than 7.
Run Line
The run line is baseball's version of a point spread. It adjusts by 1.5 runs:- Bet on a team to win by more than one run (-1.5).
- Bet on a team to lose by less than one run or win (+1.5).
Conclusion
While money lines make baseball betting simpler compared to football and basketball, they require careful calculation for payoffs:1. Favorite Payoff Calculation: Add 1 to the favorite's price and divide by the favorite's price.
2. Underdog Payoff Calculation: Add 1 to the underdog's price.
Baseball betting is straightforward and rewarding with practice, making it ideal for beginners.
