How to Bet on Baseball at Dafabet

Baseball betting is exciting, with multiple ways to wager, from simple moneyline bets to predicting total runs and run line spreads. Whether it’s the MLB or international leagues, 

1. Moneyline (Match Winner)

The most straightforward bet—just pick which team will win the game.

• Example:

  • New York Yankees (-140) vs. Boston Red Sox (+120)

  • A $140 bet on the Yankees wins $100 if they win.

  • A $100 bet on the Red Sox wins $120 if they pull off the upset.

2. Run Line (Spread Betting)

A team is given a handicap to balance the odds. The favorite must win by a certain number of runs, while the underdog can lose by a limited margin and still cover the bet.

• Example:

  • Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (+110) vs. Chicago Cubs +1.5 (-130)

  • If you bet on the Dodgers (-1.5), they must win by at least 2 runs for your bet to win.

  • If you bet on the Cubs (+1.5), they can lose by 1 run or win outright, and your bet still wins.

3. Total Runs (Over/Under Betting)

Bet on whether the total number of runs in a game will be over or under a set number.

• Example: Over/Under 8.5 total runs

  • If the final score is 5-4 (9 total runs), the Over bet wins.

  • If it’s 4-3 (7 total runs), the Under bet wins.

4. First Five Innings Bet (F5 Betting)

Bet on the result after the first five innings instead of the full game.

• Example:

  • San Diego Padres to lead after 5 innings

  • If the Padres are ahead after 5 innings, you win—even if they lose the full game.

5. Player Props (Individual Player Bets)

Bet on specific player performances, like total hits, home runs, or strikeouts.

• Example:

  • Shohei Ohtani Over/Under 1.5 hits

  • If Ohtani gets 2 or more hits, the Over bet wins.

  • If he gets 1 or no hits, the Under bet wins.

6. Team Totals

Bet on how many runs a specific team will score.

• Example:

  • Houston Astros Over 4.5 runs

  • If the Astros score 5 or more runs, the bet wins.

7. Live (In-Play) Betting

Bet on baseball games as they happen, with odds changing based on the action.

• Example: The Yankees are losing 3-0 in the 3rd inning, and their live odds to win improve. You bet on a comeback, and if they turn it around, you win big!
