Baseball Betting 101
2008-05-24 12:38:07
Baseball betting can be one of the better odd games at a casino/sportsbook. Unlike other sports such as football & basketball, baseball has many different changing variables that can help bettors pick winners. Over the course of 162 games, trends can begin to develop. Here’s a primer on baseball betting, how it works and a few of the inside tricks you can use to bring home the bucks. From the writers of baseballspreads.com
MONEY LINES (betting sides)
If you are new to betting baseball one of the first things that you will notice is that there is no point spreads involved. Betting baseball involve odds that are represented as a Money Line. Money Lines are odds expressed in terms of a dollar so if you bet a Favorite you will lay more than a dollar in order to win a dollar and if you bet an underdog you will wager a dollar to win more than a dollar. Baseball betting lines are expressed as a dollar with cents and sometimes the decimal will be used. Odds of -1.55 and -155 are the same thing. A favorite that is -155 means that you have to bet 155 to win 100. On the opposite side if one were to bet an underdog at +135 you would only have to bet 100 to win 135. So simply put the favorite is always a minus and the underdog will always be a plus.
Don't let anyone tell you it doesn't matter where you bet baseball. Baseball betting lines are not created equal. Smart baseball bettors will only play a "Dime Line" or a 10-cent line which offers the player the most value for their baseball gambling dollar.
In a game carrying a dime line, a minus -155 favorite would be paired with an underdog of plus +145. If that same game had a 20-cent line, the underdog would get back only +135. Ten cents on the dollar can easily add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars over the course of a baseball season. Even if you consider yourself a small bettor you should always us a sportsbook that offers a true "Dime Line"
PITCHERS
As the pitcher is one of the most important positions, the line or odds are based largely by the starting pitchers listed. Taking this into account you have four options when betting baseball.
Listed Pitcher - A baseball bet is made on a game stating listed pitchers and both of the listed pitchers must start the game. A pitcher is determined to have made a start after he throws the opening pitch for his team. If one, or both, of the listed pitchers do not start the game, the bet has no action and the bettors’ money is refunded.
Specify team pitcher- A baseball bet is made placing a bet specifying just the pitcher starting for the team you are betting on. As long as the pitcher starts for the team you have bet, you have action on the game, no matter or not the opposing teams listed pitcher starts. If the opposing team's pitcher doesn't start, this usually means that a new price is determined for the game.
Team Action- If you bet on a team with normal action, than the bet is valid regardless of a change in starting pitchers for either team. The odds may be adjusted if there is a change in the listed pitchers.
Team action against listed pitcher- In this situation a bet can be made on a team and the bet is good regardless of whether or not the listed pitcher starts for that team as long as the listed pitcher for the other team does in fact start the game.
TOTALS
Baseball totals are fairly straightforward like football or hockey. The total refers to the number of runs both teams score for the entire game. This also includes extra innings if the game goes past 9 innings. Both listed pitchers must start for a total bet to have action. If one, or both, of the listed pitchers do not start, then a bet on the game total has no action, and all bets are refunded.
RUN LINES
The run line involves a team getting 1 1/2 runs (the underdog) while the favorite must win by more than 1 1/2 runs. A money line is also with to the 1 1/2 runs. For a favorite to win on the run line, the team must then win by 2 runs. The odds on a favorite will usually be a plus number because the team must win by at least 2 runs. The money line attached to the team getting 1 1/2 runs will usually be a minus number because the team can still lose by one run and still be a winning bet. The same rules that apply for totals apply for run lines: listed pitchers must start, and the game can not be called early.
Here is and example of a Run Line
Red Sox - 1 1/2 +120 NY Mets + 1 1/2 - 150
If you bet the Red Sox would win by 2 runs or more you would win $1.20 for every $1.00 bet
If you bet that the Mets would win or they can lose by less than two runs you will have to risk $1.50 for every $1.00 you want to win.
We hope that this has given you some basic knowledge for betting baseball. Simply but the two most important things are to shop around for the best odds and of pick more winners than losers.

A system is simply an arrangement of all racing variables into a definite pattern. A system is "mechanical" if it leaves nothing to the player's own judgment. A handicapping system calls for some decisions on the part of the selector.
The purpose of a system is to reduce the percentage against the player and to give him more winners.
But there are two parts to any system. One is the...

Dutching is a system of backing two horses in a single race to guarantee you a set target profit whichever horse wins. Because you have two good horses on your side, a better than average success rate is assured.
Of course, when you back two horses to win the same race, one will always lose - but if you follow this clever staking plan, you'll always make a net profit whichever of your selections...

A betting strategy or betting system is a calculated approach to gambling - horse gambling in this case, which is intended to counter or upset the partiality that inherently favors the house or bookmakers in any sports betting event.

After studying and cataloging hundreds of different NFL betting systems over the past decade or-so, I have learned that there are really only 3 distinct types of systems that effectively beat the spread. They each have the ability to expose opportunities for profit versus the line—they just do so in very different ways.
The first and most common category (which accounts for the majority...

If someone where to ask me: "Is their one particular NFL statistic that you would class as indispensable when working against the point spread"? It wouldn't take me long to respond. The answer--Pass Defense ratings, or PDE for short.

Red Zone Conversion percentage is one of those basic-box score stats that has been around for so long, it's easy to overlook it in today's 12-15 page NFL Gamebooks. It's a deceptively simple, yet powerful statistic--teams that consistently convert Red Zone drives into touchdowns are the same teams that win games, and cover spreads. Teams with strong rushing attacks and tall, athletic receivers...

While most certainly an American invention, the true origin of the point spread is cloudy. Some experts believe it was introduced in the 1920's while others claim it wasn't widely used until the 1930's in the New York area. Regardless of its actual birth-date, this much is known--In the years following the 2nd world war, the point spread became the dominant form of wagering for both American...

Betting arbitrage is a method of creating a bet that has a zero risk - in other words, you always win! The concept of 'arbitrage' comes from the financial world, and describes the activities of traders who find two different places offering the same trade, but at different prices. They then exploit this difference by selling in one location and buying in the other. Whatever happens to price, they...

The most important rule of this system that you should never break is that once you have reached your goal winnings for that day, YOU QUIT AND WALK AWAY.
The first step in using this system is to set a value of how much you wish to win each day. As a rough rule, the safest figure is 5% of your total bank.
This is purely down to you. The higher the % the more risk you have of needing to...

People assume that betting on horses is based on luck, and that the only method to win money while doing it is to get inside information. By inside information, people generally refer to match fixes or some other knowledge that one or more of the horses is sick. This might have been true once, but in todays modern world where the gambling is institutionalized and checked daily, this sort of thing...
