BASEBALL BETTING

Major League Baseball MLB betting accounts for the bulk of the baseball betting odds that Centrebet offers to its account holders who enjoy the United States of America's favourite sport. Thirty teams, 14 from the American League and 16 from National League, compete under the MLB banner currently. Every one of the 30 sides wants to win the sport's ultimate prize - the World Series.

Centrebet offers World Series baseball betting odds throughout the best-of-seven contest between the American League and National League champion clubs that is the final act of the Major League Baseball season. Baseball is the United States of America's national pastime and, therefore, it is not surprising that betting agencies such as Centrebet trade dozens of markets on the sport.

BASEBALL BETTING - BET TYPES

Generally speaking, Centrebet trades five markets on every MLB match: game result; run line (handicap); run total (over or under the bookmaker's line); total number of home runs (choose from one of three options); and total number of strikeouts (pick one of four options).

Centrebet also compiles futures odds so that baseball betting enthusiasts can back their favourite team(s) and/or player(s) winning silverware. Betting on the World Series winner does not cease until the successful team is celebrating on the diamond after the final match. You can check the latest Centrebet MLB odds at the secure Centrebet site at any time during the 2007 season.
