Baseball Betting

Baseball Betting by Tom Morgan of 1800-Sports

Ball games are traditionally slow paced, often dull and high priced players are getting in the way of the nostalgia factor. Throw in some good 'old fashion baseball betting, and we have ourselves a whole different ball game.

Betting, even if it is on a bunch of cockroaches racing up the side of a wall, adds that extra spark to an otherwise dull event.

The art of baseball betting - and make no mistake about it - this is an art, incorporates a number of components that make the game favorable for the bettor.

For one, teams need only win for the gambler to come out on top. There are no point spreads involved with betting baseball.

Stats take on more meaning as well. Since most pitchers go through at least the fifth inning, the pitcher vs. individual roster players can be reviewed with great success. Seasoned pitchers, in particular, offer up a wealth of useful stats. Some pitchers enjoy excellent head-to-head records vs. specific players while with others, the scenario is switched. Better still, such information is readily available free of charge.

I can remember as a small child growing up in Japan how the teachers would tell us that left-handed children had abnormalities. I always knew they had a purpose, and that purpose is Major League baseball. When betting baseball, I always circle the left handed players. Some pitchers have a terrible time against left handed hitters and some hitters have a terrible time against left handed pitchers. I pay special attention to games that have an unusually high ratios of right handed pitchers to left handed pitchers or vice versa then I examine a pitcher's stats vs. this group.

Baseball betting is especially accommodating to the parlay player. Throw in a live dog with two under -130 favorites and a few dollars, the winnings can be quite impressive unlike football and basketball where payout odds are already set.

Also look at game totals. If one or more pitchers has a tough time against individual hitters, this provides a great time to bet on the OVER. Likewise, solid pitching against hitters by old standby aces could mean few hits through the first seven innings at least. But be mindful of the fact that a weak bullpen can easily ruin the starting pitcher's performance. Under's can be a dangerous proposition when betting baseball.

Dime lines are best but a juicy bonus offered by a sportsbook like Bodog.com help make up for any discrepancies. Recreational players rarely can tell the difference.
