Baseball sports betting is the most popular summer attraction in sportsbooks around the world. There has been a crescendo of interest in baseball betting, and baseball is recognized as a world class sport.
There has been tremendous interest in the sport of baseball on an international level over the past decade. In like manner, there has been a similar increase in the amount of baseball sports betting over the same period of time. What could account for this new found popularity?
Baseball sports betting has gone on since the game was invented by Abner Doubleday over 150 years ago. I can remember as a small child watching baseball games being played in Panama and Central America back in the early 60’s during the winter time. Major leaguers would return to their homes after their season was over, and play for their home country in winter baseball. The late Vic Power, Luis Aparicio and the Alous were some of the major league greats who played for their native countries during the winter time.
I know there was baseball betting on these contests, because my Dad and my Uncle Bill would excuse themselves after early Sunday dinner and walk around the corner to McGovern’s Tavern in order to place a wager on the game. When they returned an hour or so later, they were consumed with the televised coverage of the winter baseball game. They couldn’t fool me and Mom, because we knew that they had bet on the game. My Mom’s reward if Dad won the money line wager was that he promised to dry the dishes. Even though he won more than he lost, he always seemed to find a way to avoid the dish drying obligation.
With the recognition of baseball as an international sport and Major League Baseball having stars on their rosters from the Dominican Republic, Central America, Canada, Mexico, South America, Australia, Japan and China among others, it is no wonder that baseball sports betting is the number one favorite among the betting community world wide.
