How Does Baseball Betting Work?

If you're asking, how does baseball betting work, it's simpler than you might think. You can bet on baseball games by picking teams to win, predicting run totals, or even wagering on specific player performances.

At Sunbet, we make the process easy. Browse the match schedule, choose your market, enter your stake, and confirm your bet. We display baseball betting odds in decimal format so you can clearly see your potential payout.

Common rules to note:

• Games must complete a set number of innings for bets to stand
  
  
• Most bets include extra innings unless stated otherwise
  
  
• Pitcher changes may affect certain bet types
