Baseball Betting: The Basics
Summary:
Discover how to bet on baseball and why it's an excellent choice for novice bettors.An Introduction to Baseball Betting
If you're new to sports betting, baseball offers a straightforward entry point. Unlike football and basketball, where point spreads can be confusing, baseball betting focuses on the game’s outcome. Plus, the longer baseball season provides more opportunities to win. Here’s your guide to getting started.
Key Differences in Baseball Betting
Money Line vs. Point Spread
- Point Spread: Common in football and basketball, it involves adjusting odds by subtracting points from the favorite team and adding them to the underdog.- Money Line: In baseball, odds are set solely on the game's outcome. You risk more on the favorite and less on the underdog.
Understanding the Money Line
- A money line of -170 for the favorite means you bet $170 to win $100.- A money line of +150 for the underdog means a $100 bet wins you $150.
- The difference between these lines is called the "twenty cent line." Other common lines include the "dime line" or ten cent line, and the fifteen cent line.
Additional Betting Options
Total Bets
These bets focus on the combined runs scored by both teams. If the total is set at 7, betting "over" means you win if the score exceeds 7, and "under" wins if the score is less.Run Line
Similar to a point spread, this involves betting on whether a team wins by more than one run (-1.5) or stays within a run (+1.5).Conclusion
While the money line simplifies baseball betting compared to football and basketball, calculating payoffs requires attention:
1. Betting on the Favorite: Add 1 to the favorite's price and divide by the favorite's price.
2. Betting on the Underdog: Simply add 1 to the underdog’s price.
With this basic understanding, you're ready to explore the world of baseball betting.
