Baseball betting with totesport
Betting on baseball has become very popular over the past few years mainly thanks to the arrival in Britain and mainland Europe of NASN, the North American Sports Network, who now offer over 250 live games per season.
Totesport provide wide-ranging baseball markets, offering outright prices on the World Series almost all year, from the start of the season in March to the bitter end in either October or early November, when the leading sides in the American and National League meet in a best-of-seven showdown.
As well as the outright market, totesport offer prices on each of the six divisions that make up the American and National Leagues, covering all teams from San Francisco and Oakland in the West to Boston and both New York teams over in the East.
Much of totesport’s baseball betting action comes with the daily match markets, which can be found every day, bar the All Star Break in July, from March all the way to the end of the season. There are usually somewhere between six and 15 games per day, every day of the week.
Prices are available on the outright result, just as you would expect to see in a football match for example, with totesport striving to provide pitcher match-ups for each game – for example you might see Boston Red Sox (Josh Beckett) v New York Yankees (Phil Hughes) and that will tell you which pitcher is starting the game for each team.
Another exciting totesport market is Total Runs, where punters try to work out how many runs the two sides will combine to score in their nine innings. – The total will almost always come with a half-point to ensure the market does not end in a tie. So if the mark is set at say 10.5 runs being scored in a game, you can decide to bet over or under without having to be concerned about which team scores the runs,
The other main baseball market action at totesport comes in the form of a multitude of Run Line markets.
The Run Line market itself will give punters a chance to back a team either receiving a certain number of runs or giving them away – for example, you may want to back Boston +1.5 runs to beat New York and you would be on to a winner if Boston won the game or lost by a single run.
The Reverse Run line gives punters a chance to look at the game from the opposite side, offering bigger returns if you should fancy the outsider in any given game. For example, from the 2007 World Series game one, Colorado could be backed at 5/6 in the Run Line market, receiving 1.5 runs, or 11/4 in the Reverse Run Line market giving up a 1.5 run head-start to Boston.
And there is also the chance to take an opinion on the Alternative Run Line market, which gives punters fancying a favourite a chance to get bigger returns by making them give up a bigger head-start to the outsiders.
Totesport recognise that baseball betting is diverse and compelling and www.totesport.com is the place to go to join in with the fun.
