It started with a Bristol board and a few friends.
A baseball watch party, a homemade board and a simple idea that brought a whole new energy to the room.
Origin story
The first Baseball Roulette
My friends and I have never been very good at just sitting around. If we’re together, we’re usually playing something, cornhole, poker, euchre, whatever happens to be around. And somehow, we’re almost always betting on something. We were also always talking shit over a few beers about businesses we should start or things we should invent, but like most ideas, they usually never made it past the drinks.
One night the guys were coming over to watch baseball and I decided to make a game out of it. I grabbed a Bristol board, drew out a bunch of different baseball outcomes, added some odds and put it on the table.
That was the first Baseball Roulette.
Game night changed
It was an instant hit.
There were bets flying around, guys yelling at the TV, arguments over plays, big wins, bad beats and a lot of laughs.
Suddenly everyone cared about every at-bat. And every pitch.
The baseball game was still the reason we got together — Baseball Roulette just brought a whole new energy to the room.
“Suddenly everyone cared about every at-bat. And every pitch.”
From then to now
From homemade board to game-night essential.
After that night, the Bristol board kept coming back out whenever the guys were over. Eventually I thought, we might actually have something here.
So I turned that homemade board into the game you see today. A proper gaming mat. Betting chips. A House running the table. Real odds. Simple rules.
But the idea behind it has never changed.
That’s Baseball Roulette. Where Every Pitch is a Gamble.
