MLB<\/a>. If you are already slightly conversant with betting here another option to consider is Run Line Betting.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRun Line Betting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n This kind of bet has a better value proposition but is also slightly more complex than the standard Money Line betting that we discussed earlier. You need a higher degree of knowledge and understanding of the game to be able to use this bet option. Either of the parties in the game on who the bets are being placed have to cover a 1.5 handicap; only then can a bet that has been placed on them stand a chance of winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Run Line betting allows for the use of strategy to maximize play and win opportunities. The strategy that is devised gives you an idea of whether the bet is worth placing, in line with market value. How is this achieved? By translating the odds of winning into a percentage of probability using the formula listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Probability percentage = (Risk\/Return)*100<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe number that you get usually has built into it the commission that the bookmaker charges. However, if you are smart you can also work out a number that leaves out this commission and pitch aggressively on the winning probability. Different organizations have their own calculations and formulas for calculating the winning odds and also determining it in reality. You can check out the different online portals, like Pinnacle, for instance, to work out the equation for this calculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Totals Bet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Every sport that allows betting has the totals bet, and this is true of baseball and the MLB as well. Here this bet is essentially a wager on whether the total points that a team scores in the course of a game is lower or higher than the base estimate that the bookmaker has made for the game. In some ways this bet requires you to work as you do for Money Line betting, especially when it comes to analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the teams\u2019 defense and offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with analyzing the strengths and weaknesses is the need to factor in a number of other elements while strategizing on your totals bet. This includes general factors that can impact the number of runs a team scores, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe size of the field:<\/strong> The size of the field has a definite impact on the number of runs a team can score. Some stadiums are known for high scoring games, while others are known for average or low-scoring games. A classic example of a ground that generally yields high scores is Chase Field, home ground to the Arizona Diamondbacks. And if you are looking for a low scoring ground you do not have to go beyond AT&T Park, which is home to the San Francisco Giants.<\/li>\n\n\n\nThe temperature and humidity:<\/strong> The temperature and humidity have a definite impact on how a game plays out. At a ground where the humidity is high scores could be possibly low because the ball struggles to travel owing to the higher thickness of humid air. In contrast, the situation is different when it comes to high temperature; the ball travels faster and therefore further as the high temperature causes air to thin down.<\/li>\n\n\n\nThe wind speed:<\/strong> The wind will always have a say in a game. It can help or hurt a team, depending on the direction from which it is blowing. A strong wind in the same direction as the batter helps the ball travel faster and further, while a strong wind blowing in the opposite direction to the batter will make scoring difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nTo Conclude<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Betting in MLB<\/a> is prevalent and very widespread, with a large number of sports books catering to enthusiasts not just from the USA and Canada but across the world. Strategy plays a big role in this bet as well because of the number of outs that a team has to pile on the runs. If you make the right analyses and are spot on with your calculations while taking into account the different factors listed above, you may be in for a good time scoring some good wins of your own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Baseball is among the most popular games in the USA and Canada and the organization administering it is Major League Baseball (MLB).
