Fairdeal Sportsbook Baseball Betting Moneyline Wagers
FairDeal starts at a dime line (10 cents) on all side MLB sport book
moneyline baseball betting wagers. Baseball betting moneyline wagering is simply
placing wagers on the sportsbook contest based on a given price rather than a
point spread. The team wagered on only has to win the game to be a winner!
Fairdeal Sportsbook Baseball Betting (moneyline) Parlay Payoffs
Because of the moneyline used in baseball, there are no set payoffs for tying a
number of teams together in parlays. FairDeal payoffs are determined
by a simple formula that changes the sports betting moneyline into a decimal
number and combines it with the other lines in the parlay.
Fairdeal Sportsbook Baseball Betting Moneyline Wager Example
New York Yankees -155
Atlanta Braves +145
• A FairDeal gambler can choose one of two baseball betting moneyline
wagers on this matchup: Baseball betting on the Yankees -155. If the Yankees win
than the player is laying $155.00 to win $100.00. Wagering on the Braves +145.
If the Braves win than the FairDeal gambler is who is wagering $100.00
wins $145.00.
• FairDeal moneylines will be offered on all MLB sport book and
College World Series games.
• FairDeal Side (moneyline) baseball betting will be accepted in the
following manner:
• FairDeal action (any starting pitcher) - Team against team,
regardless of the starting pitcher.
• FairDeal re: Listed Pitchers (both specified pitchers) - If the
starting pitchers are not exactly as listed when the "Listed" FairDeal
wager is placed, the baseball betting wager will be deemed "No Action".
• FairDeal sports betting gamblers (teams selected pitcher) - If the
listed pitcher of the gamblers selected team does not start the game, the
gamblers sportsbook wager will be deemed "No Action".
• FairDeal opposing Baseball Betting (opposite teams selected
pitcher)-If the listed pitcher of the opposing team does not start the game, the
gamblers baseball betting wager will be deemed "No Action".
• In the event there is a pitching change prior to the start of the game, all
FairDeal action wagers moneyline odds may be adjusted. If one
scheduled pitcher starts against an unscheduled pitcher, "Action" baseball
betting will be computed by the opening price with the new pitcher.

On a Total FairDeal baseball betting wager (over/under), the
FairDeal gambler placing wagers on the total runs of the game by both
teams, extra innings included.

Atlanta Braves under 8.5 (+105)
A FairDeal gambler can choose one of two over/under baseball betting
wagers on this matchup: Baseball Betting on the Over 8 1/2 -125. If the total
runs of both teams combined are more than 8 1/2, then the FairDeal
gambler laid $125.00 to win $100.00. Betting on the Under 8 1/2 +105. If the
total runs of both teams combined are less than 8 1/2, then the player who bet
$100.00 wins $105.00.

sportsbook contest based on a point spread and a moneyline combined. The
sportsbook team wagered on must win by the point spread.

How to Figure Fairdeal Sportsbook Baseball Parlays
For each price or baseball betting odds quote on your teams, look at their
respective payoffs (to $1) and always add $1 to these payoffs. Multiply your bet
times the products of these payoffs (+$1) for your parlay return.
How to Figure Fairdeal Sportsbook Baseball Parlays Example:
A FairDeal gambler can bet $50 on the Cardinals (-150) parlayed to the
Tigers (-130) Bet
Cardinals
Tigers
Return
(-150)
(-130)
$50 X 1.67 X 1.77 = $147.80
The return includes the $50 bet. The same method can be used for any number of
teams. All Baseball Betting Side Parlays are "action." FairDeal Run
Line & Total selections within a gamblers parlay will be voided by
FairDeal should there be a pitching change.
Fairdeal Sportsbook Baseball Betting Round Robin Parlays
FairDeal offers Round Robin sports betting parlays. Round Robin sports
betting is simply a nickname for parlay betting on a group of selections (at
least three or more) that are to be included in a combination of individual
parlays. Placing wagers can be done very easily at FairDeal , online or
by telephone. For instance, if a FairDeal gambler asked for a $100,
three-team Round Robin with teams A, B, and C, the gambler is simply requesting
a two-team parlay with teams A and B, another parlay with teams A and C, and
another with teams B and C, for a total of 3 individual parlays, each for $100.
The total amount risked would be $300.
FairDeal Round Robins get more complex as the number of teams
increases. A four-team Round Robin "by twos" for $100 would mean that the
gambler wants four teams to be included in a combination of two-team parlays.
This would be a total of six individual two-team parlays, for a total risk of
$600. If the request is for Round Robin sports betting "by threes,” it would
include a total of four possible combinations, for a risk of $400.
Fairdeal Sportsbook Baseball Betting Round Robin Parlays Example:
A FairDeal gambler requests a $100 four team Round Robin "by twos",
with teams A, B, C and D. The possible combinations would be as follows:
Teams AB $100 to win $260
Teams AC $100 to win $260
Teams AD $100 to win $260
Teams BC $100 to win $260
Teams BD $100 to win $260
Teams CD $100 to win $260
If all four teams win, the FairDeal gambler wins $1240, while risking
only $600! If one game loses, there is still a profit, even though three of the
parlays would lose. The three winners get back $780, plus the $100 laid for each
parlay, for a total of $1080. After subtracting $300 for the 3 losers, the
player profits $480! Just like in FairDeal standard parlays,
selections from every league and sportsbook can be included! The maximum payoff
for any one parlay baseball betting wager shall be $50,000, whatever the stake,
or theoretical payout displayed elsewhere on FairDeal sportsbook
software.
