Let's review a few of the baseball bets you can make here at VIPSports.com. One of the most popular bets to make on Major League Baseball is a moneyline wager. Basically, you pick a team to win, and you gain or lose cash based on what's known as a dime line system.

For instance, let's say that you put down $100 on the Boston Red Sox, which are evaluated at negative 135. If the Red Sox pull out a victory, you will win $135. Conversely, let's say you bet on the Milwaukee Brewers, which are rated positive 165. If the Brewers win, and you have laid down $165, you will then get $100 back on your betting investment. You can refer to VIPSports.com's statistics section for hints and tips about how to place moneyline wagers effectively. You can also gamble on all College World Series baseball games as well as on regular season and post-season Major League Baseball games.

Another way to bet on baseball is by wagering along a run line. Basically, this method involves placing confidence in a pointspread. This is slightly more sophisticated than pure moneyline betting. If the Yankees are rated plus 150 in a game, and you put down $150, and the team wins, you may not recoup unless the Yankees beat the pointspread against their opponents.

You can also make what are known as "first five inning" line bets, which are valid if both teams complete the first five innings of play. Props and exotic baseball bets allow you to make more particular wagers on events in a game. For instance, you can choose to gamble on whether or not your favorite starting pitcher will throw out a first strike or whether the home team will score first.
