CPBL Betting & Odds

The Chinese Pro Baseball League is the top-level baseball competition in Taiwan (Also known as the Republic of China, hence the naming of the league). It sits in the top 10 most popular baseball leagues in the world, with fans from across the globe tuning in to see the matches, which are played at a fast pace throughout the regular season.

You can bet on the Chinese Pro Baseball League online with us at BetVictor, with a huge range of CPBL odds and markets to choose from. You can also find each game on the in-play betting page as soon as the first ball is pitched, as odds update in real time.

The CPBL is Taiwan's premier professional baseball event, featuring 6 teams and a split-season model that uses two halves. Each team will play 60 games each during each half, meaning that 120 matches are played by all teams per regular season. These current teams are the Uni-President Lions (Also known as the U-Lions), the Brothers, the Monkeys, the TSG Hawks, the DRAGONS, and the Guardians.

Teams that win each half of the season will automatically qualify to reach the playoffs, with a wild-card team also making it to the championship competition, as covered below.

Taiwan Series

The Taiwan Series is the playoffs for the Chinese Professional Baseball League and is used to find the champions for the current season. At the start of this series, the wild-card team that had the highest win percentage overall will face the half winner with the lowest overall win percentage.

Whoever wins this initial match will then progress to face the half-winner with the best win percentage. It's also worth mentioning that if a team wins both halves, they will start the final with a 1 - 0 advantage, while the teams with the second and third best win percentages will both become wild-cards.

This format gives all teams a realistic opportunity to be involved in the Taiwan Series, even if they have a slow start to the season. Last but not least, the first series in the Taiwan Series is a best-of-5, while the second is a best-of-7, played in a 2-2-3 format. Alternatively, if a team wins both halves, the format will be 2-2-2, as this side will already have a 1 - 0 advantage.

You can find plenty of different Chinese Professional Baseball League betting markets online with us at BetVictor, with some of the standouts being:

• Money Line: When it comes to betting on the CPBL, Money Line wagers are the most popular by far. This is likely due to their simplicity, as they simply involve picking which team will win the specified match.
• Run Line: These are sometimes referred to as handicap betting markets, with a number of runs being subtracted from the favoured team or added to the underdog team. Punters can then decide which team will win, given the virtual handicaps that are in place.
• Total Runs: For this Chinese Professional Baseball League betting market, a predetermined number will be shown to punters, who can then decide whether more or fewer runs will be scored in the match. For example, betting on over 7.5 would mean that at least 8 runs must be scored for the bet to be marked as a successful one.
• Player Performance: These CPBL betting markets allow you to bet on how many runs, strikeouts, outs, hits allowed, total bases, hits, singles, doubles, or stolen bases a player will accumulate throughout a game.

A range of other baseball betting options are available on the Chinese Professional Baseball League, too, such as how many runs will be scored in the first innings, which team will lead at halftime, and the winning margin of the match.
