“some sportsbooks will take action on whether a pitcher throws a ball or strike on his first pitch. A pitcher can fix that”

That is the kind of betting that should be banned outright—nothing but trouble.

You can bet on whether the first pitch a pitcher throws is a ball or a strike.?

I did not know such bets existed. In that case, it’s guaranteed money for a pitcher.

A big payday for just one pitch he throws? Amazing to think about. Not even considering other variables that can affect the outcome of a game, these gamblers are not even gambling on that.
