Find out everything you need to know about the Baseball bookie software we provide here at PayPerHead.

One of the four major leagues in the US is the MLB. As such, having MLB software is a must-have when the NFL season comes to an end.

The US’s biggest baseball league, the MLB, runs from the beginning of April up until the end of October. Every year, 29 American teams and one Canadian team compete in a regular-season comprising 162 games in six divisions.

At the end of the regular season, ten teams make it through to the play-offs – and after the knockout phase, two teams make it through to the finals – the World series – a huge attraction for punters. This is played over the best of seven games – so the first team to win four games is declared the winner, with the current title holders being the Boston RedSox. However, the most successful to date and the most popular with your punters is the New York Yankees with 27 wins up til 2022.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BASEBALL SOFTWARE

Here’s everything you need to know about baseball betting software before you start investing your money…

Although the NFL remains the most popular sport in America, baseball is still a popular pastime. Around 9.7 million people tuned into the 2020 World Series in fact. Even though it isn’t as many as previously this is still a huge fanbase.

There’s something people simply cannot resist about the first sighting of pitchers and catchers as they head out to spring training, it almost represents the possibilities that lie after the winter months have ended. It makes us think of the summer fun and warmer weather that awaits us… and boy do we need that right now. Oh, and it’s also a way to make money on baseball!

However, betting does present a challenge to both bookmakers and bettors. But, you can make bank with a little help from us. So, read on to find out what you need to know about the baseball software that will help you.

A GAME CHANGER

Long-time fans of baseball will know that the game has changed a lot – there was a time when this was once a very simple sport.

The starting pitchers threw for eight or nine innings. The relief pitchers were less specialized. Meanwhile, the defensive positions were more standardized and for this reason, balls were always hit into play. Baseball teams hit those runs using strategies such as hit and run, base stealing and bunting. The greatest hitter in the game, Pete Rose was simply a singles hitter with medium gap power.

However, that time has passed and it won’t be returning. The game has been changed completely – and modern technology and economics have made it more of a scientific game all about strategy.

Now, launch angles, defensive shifts and ‘Moneyball’ advanced Sabermetrics are major determining factors. There’s simply a lot more that a gambler needs to know these days to be successful – as the game changes, so must the betting strategy.

BETTING BASICS WITH BASEBALL SOFTWARE

When it comes to MLB, there are three main bets a punter can make on the game – the Moneyline bet, the run-line bet, and a total bet. They work in the same way as other sports but with a few noticeable differences.

MONEYLINE BETS
The most popular way to bet on baseball is the moneyline. It is a simple bet to win.
For example, the St Louis Cardinals are playing the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Pirates are the favorites at -150. The Cardinals are the underdogs at +125.
As with other sports, if the punter bets $100 on the Cardinals, they can win $125. However, they would need to wager $150 on the Pirates to win $100.
RUN LINE BETS
Run Lines are basically baseball lines. They are set at the standard +1.5 / -1.5. However, a bookie can move the number up or down depending on the game.
In NFL games, most spreads come with even juice, however in baseball the run line odds fluctuate more because of the sport’s basic scoring structure. A runner who makes it home gets one run.
TOTALS BETS
Totals bets, also known as over/under bets are wagers placed on the total number of runs scored by both teams combined during the game. Although as a bookmaker, you can change the total number, it would be unusual to set one lower than 5.5.
PARLAYS
A parlay is where the punter places a bet on different outcomes to occur, and they would need all of their predicted outcomes to come through to win the bet. So, for example, they parlay $50 on LA to win and New York to win – you would need both of these teams to win to win your parlay bet. Because the success relies on the outcome of two games, these are riskier bets, but they can pay out more to the bettor – which makes them quite risky for you as a bookie as well.
FUTURES BETS
If, for example, your punter thinks Boston will reach the playoffs and win the World Series, then this is where they might choose to make a futures bet on it as odds generally tend to be more generous at the start of the season. As a bookmaker, you should be offering futures well in advance of the season and adjust them as the season plays out.
PROPS BETS
Prop bets are extra bets that punters can make on specific outcomes in a game (game props bets) or how a player performs (player props). It could be a bet on whether Pittsburgh hits a home run against Atlanta. They could also bet on whether they think Pittsburgh might break a .600 winning percentage throughout the season. These are fun bets that offer something a little different. As a bookmaker, the more props you offer the better as you will be giving your punter a fun experience.
IN-GAME BETS
It’s also important for you to offer your players the chance to bet on those Major League Baseball games as it happens with dynamic odds based on the action as it happens. You can judge what is happening and offer odds accordingly – and punters can enjoy the action even more and bet on it as it happens.

WHY BOOKIES AND BETTORS FIND BASEBALL CHALLENGING

So, given the fact that it seems so simple, what is it about baseball that makes it so challenging to bookies and their punters? Well, there are lots of variables within the game that make handicapping tricky. There are simply a lot of things to take into account when researching just one solitary game.

First, there’s the starting pitching left-handed or right-handed? How would each team’s line-up hit a lefty or righty?

Then we need to consider how strong each team’s bullpen is. Will the Cardinals need to ride the starter or can they turn to their pen if the starter gets into trouble?

Then we need to consider the previous games. Were there extra innings in which most of the relief staff saw some action? If so, a starter would need to have a pitch even if they do get rocked.

Another issue you need to factor in is the design of the ballpark. For instance, the Pirate’s home park has a deep left field and the Cardinals are a right heavy, pull-hitting squad.

Finally, you then have to check out the weather forecast – will it be windy? How fast will the wind be blowing? To the left? To the right?

So, there is a lot to factor in when handicapping a ball game.
