How to Bet on the Reds
With sports betting legal in Ohio, there are plenty of ways for you to back your favorite teams and players.
There are several different sportsbooks available that offer a wide variety of betting lines including anything from betting on the moneyline to picking a player to hit a home run.
Moneyline
Betting on the moneyline simply means you’re picking a team to win.
If the Reds are -150 on the moneyline, for instance, it means they’re favored to win and you would have to bet $150 to profit $100 on them winning the game.
If the Reds are +150, that means they’re the underdog and a $100 bet would profit you $150 if they pull off the upset.
Run Line
Sometimes the team you want to wager on is favored by so much on the moneyline that it’s simply not worth betting on.
In that case (or if you’re just looking for better odds), you could take a team to win – or cover – the run line.
The run line in baseball is typically -1.5 runs (team must win by two) or +1.5 runs (team must win or lose by 1 run). In extreme mismatches, you might find a run line of 2.5.
Run Totals (Over/Under)
Betting on the over/under works the same in baseball as it does in every other sport in that you are betting on how many runs will be scored combined between the two teams.
Each game will have a projected total runs (the amount of runs both teams combine to score) with odds associated for over (more) or under (less).
For instance, if you bet on over 8.5 runs and the Reds beat the Pirates, 5-4, you’ll win your bet because they combined for 9 runs! If its 5-3, you lose, because they combied for only 8 runs.
Team and Player Props & Futures
There are many more ways to bet on baseball in Ohio than sticking to the traditional methods.
You could instead bet on a player to hit a home run, how many runs each individual team will score, if there will be a run in the first inning, and much more for each game!
If you’re a more patient bettor, you might want to look into futures bets, too.
A futures bet is a wager that predicts the outcome of a season-long outcome, whether that be which players win MVP, which teams win their divisions, who wins the World Series and several other options.
Great American Ball Park
The Reds have played at Great American Ball Park since it opened on March 31, 2003 – replacing Cinergy Field, the Reds’ stadium from 1970-2002.
Great American Ball Park is located at 100 Joe Nuxhall Way in downtown Cincinnati, overlooking the Ohio River.
Its dimensions offer short homers to the corners (328 feet to left field corner, 325 feet to right) with 404 feet to straightaway center.
The park can host up to 43,500 guests (increased by over 1,000 seats since 2003) and features one of the largest scoreboards in MLB (215 feet wide by 40 feet tall).
If you want to bet on the action while you’re there, you can do that, too! The Reds are partnered with BetMGM Sportsbook, offering the ‘Machine Room’ – a BetMGM Sportsbook that includes betting windows, self-serve kiosks, a bar and dining options.
Reds TV & Radio Coverage
Reds fans in Ohio who can’t make it to the ballpark for a game can instead watch the games broadcast on Bally Sports Ohio or through DIRECTV’s MLB Extra Innings.
If you want to listen to the Reds on the radio, you can tune in to the Cincinnati Reds Radio Network at WLW (700 AM).
