Official game instructions
Where Every Pitch is a Gamble.
The House runs the table, sells the chips, pays the winners, collects from the losers and settles any arguments. Congratulations. You’re the House now. You’re in charge.
PRO TIP: Rotate the House every three innings, or keep the same House all game. Your game. Your rules.
The chips are $1, $2, $5 and $10. Looking for lower stakes? Make them 10¢, 20¢, 50¢ and $1. The House can set minimum and maximum bets. Set the stakes before the first pitch.
Baseball Roulette is intended for entertainment. Players are responsible for complying with applicable laws regarding wagering.
Pro, College, heck even Little League. If someone is throwing baseballs (live or rerun) … you’re ready to gamble.
Bet one square or cover as many as you want. Play At-Bat Betting, Per-Pitch Betting, or both. Get your chips down before the House calls “NO MORE BETS.”
Place your bets before the first pitch. Once the pitch is thrown, you’re locked in until the at-bat is over.
Place your bets before every pitch. Betting closes when the pitcher starts the motion or the House calls “NO MORE BETS.”

Winning bets are paid at the odds shown on the table. Losing bets are collected by the House.
When in doubt, the official scoring decision makes the call. If a play is reviewed or changed, the final official ruling settles the bet.
Flyout, popout, lineout, foul out or sacrifice fly = Caught Out.
Groundout, force out or sacrifice bunt where the batter is retired = Ground Out.
Pay the batter’s result. Retired on the ground = Ground Out. Caught in the air = Caught Out.
Strike three is strike three. Strike Out pays, even if the batter reaches first.
Single but reaches second on an error = Single pays. Reached on Error = all At-Bat bets are returned and considered a push.
Nobody saw a pitch. All bets are returned and considered a push.
House rules. Your game, your rules. Before the game, decide whether a batter safely reaching first counts as a Single or follows the official scorecard.
If interference, obstruction or other baseball weirdness decides the at-bat, all bets are returned and considered a push.
There is no crying in baseball. Settle up and play ball.
