Baseball Betting Tips
A baseball bet is made by laying or taking money odds. It is based primarily on moneylines, and with its relative simplicity, betting on baseball offers the bettor some of the easiest money to be made. The minus (-) indicates the favorite; the plus (+) indicates the underdog. On money odds whenever there is a minus (-), you lay that amount to win a dollar; where there is a plus (+) you get that amount for every dollar wagered.
For example [Dodgers +1.50] [Phillies -1.60] you must lay $160 to win $100 or $16 to win $10 on the Phillies. You must lay $100 to win $150 or $10 to win $15 on the Dodgers.
Placing a baseball bet is a bit different than in other sports. While the payoffs can be just as rewarding, it's vital to understand the different kinds of wagers available.
Kinds of Sports-Bet in Baseball:
Moneylines & Totals | Run Lines | Parlays | Other Baseball Betting Info
Moneylines & Totals Moneyline betting is a bet based on a given price rather than a point spread. The team wagered on just has to win the game for the bet to win. On an over/under (total) wager, the total runs of the game by both teams combined, extra innings included, must fall over or under the side selected.
Moneylines are typically offered on all MLB and College World Series games.
Baseball wagers are usually accepted in the following manner:
Action - team against team, regardless of the starting pitcher.
Listed Pitchers (both specified pitchers) - For wagering purposes, each team's starting pitchers are specified and bets are accepted based on the listed pitchers. In the event of a pitching change prior to the game, all wagers on the team are considered "No Action". All wagers will be refunded to the bettor's account.
