Of all the major sports, home field advantage in baseball is the least important. That being said, it’s still better to be home.

Major League Baseball doesn’t give money to sports betting sites. For years they were vehemently opposed to even the slightest presumption of gambling.

Because, betting on baseball is the simplest form of sports betting, you really don’t need a calculator for a straight up bet. You are either betting the favorite at minus odds or the underdog with plus odds.

Any time you bet on the favorite, you will only win back the money you bet. So your $150 dollar bet will bring you a profit of $150.

Betting baseball online is the same as betting at a casino, but well….it’s online.

All sportsbooks will offer season total wagers. The season totals are based on team wins during the regular season.

The odds are against you when betting the underdog, but the payout is sweeter if you pull off the win. For example: New York Mets (+120) Chicago Cubs (-150) In this case, the New York Mets are the underdog and aren’t expected to beat the Chicago Cubs.

The Major League Baseball season is 162 games. There have been times, teams have played one or two fewer games due to inclement weather.
