Definition of YRFI Bet

What does the term "YRFI bet" mean in the world of baseball betting? What is meant by "YRFI"?

In the world of baseball betting, a "YRFI bet" is when you are betting that a run will be scored in the first inning of a baseball game.

YRFI stands for:

Yes
Run
First
IInning

It doesn't matter which team scores in the first inning - as long as at least one run is scored, you will win your bet.

-

Let's say that the New York Yankees are playing the Toronto Blue Jays, and the YRFI odds look like this:

YRFI, -120

So, according to these odds, there is a slightly better than a coin flip chance that a run is scored in the first inning.

So, if you wanted to put down $120 on a run being scored in the first inning, you would see a potential profit of $100.

There are a number of different things that must be considered with the YRFI bets, including:

1) Quality of starting pitching
2) How hot the bats are for both teams as of late
3) Weather

Baseball is a very streaky game, and if both teams have been hitting well as of late, there is an increased chance of the YRFI bet paying off.
