Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

There aren’t a whole lot of certainties in sports betting. Variance is everywhere. It’s a big reason why a lot of sports bettors are considered really successful if they can consistently hit at a rate of 55 percent or slightly higher. That being said, there are still some certainties and they come in the form of what is called “public money”.

It sounds like a negative when you hear experts talk about it. There is a certain connotation to it, but public money can be on the winning side as well. What it boils down to is that the public is very consistent. Maybe a better word for it is that the public is predictable. The public is going to bet favorites and overs, especially in primetime games. The public is going to latch on to teams that they can trust. Generally speaking, a lot of these are big market teams or teams that draw a ton of buzz in the mainstream media and have for a while. The “good” teams.

Sometimes, the spreads don’t even matter. The Dallas Cowboys are going to see <strong>public money</strong>. The Alabama Crimson Tide are going to see public money. The Golden State Warriors are going to see public money. The Green Bay Packers. The Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chicago Cubs (now). Sometimes this is also referred to as “square money” being bet by “squares” or “Joe Public”.

It’s not necessarily that these segments of the betting populace are stupid or ill-informed, it’s just that there’s a level of trust with good teams that they will get the job done no matter what. You won’t see public money on the Philadelphia 76ers, the Tennessee Titans, the Arizona Coyotes, or the Texas State Bobcats very often. Public money is also prone to fall in love with short-term streaks or highly-publicized achievements.

A lot of times, you’ll get situations where the game becomes a “Pros vs. Joes” struggle. The sharp players will be on the opposite side and the public will keep betting against them. Some handicappers even talk about the successes that they have had “fading the public”. The public has gotten smarter with the amount of information out there and with how mainstream <strong>sports betting</strong> has become, but the public is still stubborn in some respects. Oddsmakers know this and the lines will reflect this for some of those games with public darlings and those primetime matchups.

Again, public money isn’t always wrong. It’s just wrong more often than <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sports-betting-what-is-sharp-money/"><u><strong>sharp money</strong></u></a>. Take that into consideration if you find yourself on a public side. Sometimes you’ll find yourself on a public and sharp side. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide. If you like a public side, those win, too. It’s all about having the information that you need and this is part of that process.
