Nowadays, online bettors in Zambia choose baseball for their betting experience. But how do you place bets to not only have fun but also earn money? Let's figure out some crucial details from the blog.
The most important thing in baseball betting is to understand its rules and betting odds. On the one hand, the rules of baseball are not very complicated, but on the other hand, you need to learn all this from scratch.
Baseball betting odds may seem confusing at first, but they're not that hard to figure out. The first thing you will see are baseball betting lines. It's a bet on which team wins the game. The team with a minus sign is the favorite, and the team with a plus sign is the outsider.
Next comes the betting line itself. A team with a minus sign has an advantage of a certain number of points, while a team with a plus sign is an outsider.
Next, there is a total. This is a bid on the total quantity of points that will be scored in a particular sports event. The team with the minus sign has the advantage in the number of points scored, and the team with the plus sign has the advantage in the number of points scored.
For successful betting, it will be handy to clarify its basic terms:
Inning is the basic segment of the match. There are nine innings in one game, and in each of them, the teams play defense and offense.
Pitcher. This is an athlete who throws a ball towards a batter.
Batter. This is a player who hits the ball with a bat.
Run. It is a point that is earned when a player crosses four bases and returns to the starting point.
Home run (HR). It is a hit in which the ball flies out of bounds, and the player can safely run through all the bases.
Base. It is one of the four points on the field that the player must cross to earn a point.
Types of betting markets in this sport:
Handicap
Double chance
Total Over/Under
Both teams to score
Total even No
Total even Yes
1X2
Extra Inning
To earn more on betting online, use proven baseball betting tips. Here are the most effective methods:
Draw in the Inning
In bookmakers, the most common strategy is to bet catch-up on an inning draw. The amount of each bet can be calculated using the following formula:
(the amount of the first bet + the amount of losses) / (the coefficient is 1).
On Total Less
Similar baseball strategies work according to the catch-up scheme. A bettor needs to bet on TL 0.5 in each inning before the first run. The odd values here range from 1.50 to 1.70.
On Outsiders and Favorites
In this case, they put it like this:
Choose games in which an outsider team becomes a guest;
Give the favorite a form from -1.5 to -3.5 if the odds of winning the home team are below 1.80;
Track statistics of the meetings of the teams.
Financial Management
The baseball betting tips presented earlier do not always turn out to be winning. It is recommended to follow the basic principles of financial management:
Choose the strategy from the Flat, the Kelly criterion, the fixed percentage, etc.
Ensure that the bet amount is not higher than the total pot by 15%.
Stick to the size of the bets.
Avoid the round-the-clock betting mode for all games in each championship, it is better to give preference to one championship and study its features.
Keep in mind that each betting system can be effective only if a competent analysis of the upcoming match is carried out and the financial strategy is followed.
The risky catch-up method (the Martingale system) is pretty popular among Zambian punters.
Only a single inning can end in a draw, but not the match as a whole. If, at the end of 9 innings, a draw is fixed in the baseball match, then an extra inning is scheduled. Thus, the match goes on until one of the teams wins.
For this, you must consider the form and condition of the top players of each team – the pitcher and the catcher.
