Baseball Vs Cricket which one is you pick?

[AVE5]

So I would like to ask you , if you understand both games pretty well which one you seems most enjoyable?

I have no intention of belittling any game. It's has been a curiosity of mine. Although I've watched some youtube videos but didn't like those.

My personal principle in choice making of which game or events I should bet on is usually that I should only place bets on games that I'm familiar with.
There had truly been lot of interesting sports game's in the world that carries nice entertainment activities which I also watches in the TV and newsletters, that of the Cricket and Baseball hadn't been exceptional but because I don't have interest on them as I can't even study the rules, I don't personally enjoy it and I also don't place bet on such strange games.
Football had really been on of the MOST dominance sport events that gamblers also bets more on than every other's.

Both are not really popular in my country but, I'm happy to see that baseball is also gaining traction. Because we now have the Philippines national baseball team. Many of my countrymen still not into basebasell but if I get to choose then that's obvious of which one I will. Although we also have the Philippine Cricket Association, both sports need the support of the government since we're all starting to participate in almost every team sport that's becoming popular in the country, the same goes with football.

I don't understand a single rule about baseball but it's always fascinates me regarding the baseball and cricket. Both we're getting played by a bat & a ball. But the structure and the rules are totally different.

I dont understand the rules like that for both but i have watched the sports before both cricket and baseball and i must say, enjoyed baseball more at least when compared to cricket. The cricket concept is still diffcult to catch on and to be honest, i havnt taken time to learn the rules and the structure of the game but then when it comes to the entertainment of the sport, i prefer baseball over cricket. Maybe it is because i seen too many Instagram videos about baseball and now i kinda lean towards more than cricket.

I think we are in thesame shoe, I love them as well but don't know the rules, perhaps this thread will motivate me to do research to know the rules of this game, it will be of no use for a game to be enjoyable without knowing the rules, it is a total waste of time. I had intention to start it this week and see how far I can learn.

[Cointxz]

I’m from country that cricket is totally unknown sports since we are influenced heavily by US and Spanish when it comes to sports.

I play baseball a lot during my elementary and high school days on my school so I will be biased on my choice for baseball but I will always love a a sports that has similarities on baseball just like cricket if it was the one introduced here instead of baseball.

With that being said, people will be biased on their choice depending on what sports introduced to them first and what gameplay suit to their preference.

If I should be watching people playing it, basket ball is more fun to me than cricket while watching the players playing it. But if I should learn one and be playing it for fun, I will prefer to go for cricket because it is not as stressful as basketball. If it is about betting, I will prefer to bet on basketball and I have not bet on cricket before. I do not even know how to play cricket and I do not know the rules.

Op meant baseball, not basketball.

You don't have to 'research' really. If you merely start watching cricket games, you'll start to grasp the rules of the game, the player names and everything automatically; commentators are there for a reason.

^ This applies to any sports one may want to learn.

PS: Looking at traction this thread got and how majority of comments sound — looks like cricket is dead sports on the forum.

I don't understand a single rule about cricket, although I remember learning it and researching about it several years ago. I even watched games and understood it at the time, but then I dropped the whole thing and forgot it completely in 2-3 years time. So, I can't say, I understand both games pretty well. I only know that they both are getting played by a bat and a ball. But I enjoy watching baseball like millions of others. This is the game I pick.

If two sports seems to be the same, hitting ball with a bat, then why criminals prefer baseball bats over cricket bat? Why baseball bats can be found in almost every sports inventory shops, but cricket bats I think mostly are in shops located in countries that are famous cricket lovers. Same goes with the balls. If cricket is not popular in your country, the have you ever saw cricket balls in your sport shops? Looks like many pick baseball over cricket.

Lmao, this came out of nowhere. Well, I am sure criminal would pick whatever is available to 'em, and you can be assured either of the game's bat will get the job done (didn't mean to be dark, but had to be said).

What else do you expect? Whichever sport is prominent in country, you'll find it's stuff and not of others.

I choose baseball because I understand it somewhat. I can't keep up with the major championships very closely, but it's a sport I've always admired and enjoyed. Brazil is a country with little or no tradition in the sport, but near my house there's a place that offers free lessons, and I have friends who play; I often watch some games.

Lol, I've never understood either baseball or cricket. In fact, I've heard that it's hard for a European to understand the rules of baseball. On the other hand, in Russia, there's a third form of these games, which is similar to baseball and cricket, called "lapta." The only difference is that in lapta, the field is rectangular, not oval like in cricket, and not a strange quadrangular sector like in baseball. I tried to understand the rules of baseball, but I never had the patience to grasp them. Although I've read about people who made baseball predictions (I'm talking about Nate Silver). In my opinion, all these games descend from some ancient ancestor.

Actually, not everyone likes the same thing, some like football, some like cricket, and some like hockey, baseball, etc. Personally, I don't think I've ever watched a baseball game. Seeing this topic, I tried to enjoy it by searching on YouTube, but I couldn't understand anything.

Cricket is a very popular sport in South Asia, there are many cricket fans here. So there is no need to say which sport I find more enjoyable.

[Porfirii]

Is cricket entertaining at all? Never really seen it played.

Well, if you are into it, it is. I think whether you like a particular a sport, it depends on culture one grew up in — for Americans like you, baseball is the norm, for countries like India, cricket is the norm and their people choose what they are familiar with.

As for answer to OP, I prefer cricket. It's what I grew up with and it's the only sport I understand well, and too lazy to leave my comfort zone now.

That's what I was going to answer, more or less. In my case, I only know cricket because I have accidentally heard about it in movies or television series, but there is no culture in my country around this sport, nor do I know anyone who plays it or any place where you can watch a game, apart from the Internet.

However, in the case of baseball, although it is not very popular either, due to the cultural influence exerted by the United States in my environment, I do know it better and I have been able to understand and enjoy the (few) games that I have ever watched.

So my pick is definitely baseball, but for the reason given by libert19: simply because of the two, it is the sport that I know and understand best. Which brings us to the next question, so if I had to bet on one or the other, the choice would be clear and you already know the answer...

Same goes for me, I also don't understand the rules of baseball game But I understand some of rules about cricket game.

So I would like to ask you , if you understand both games pretty well which one you seems most enjoyable?

To be honest I don't really like both game . Even though I don't like both game much if i have to choose one it would be cricket, because I at least know it's rules. By the way, my favorite game is football.

Btw I was watching a match , didn't even know if this one was live or not.

Honestly, I don't have any idea about these games. Especially baseball, but I think I have watched cricket on Sky Sports News and I'm yet to understand the rules and other things. However, I always try as much as possible to gamble on a game that I'm more familiar with, because it makes no sense to stress ourselves too much for a game that looks complicated to us. Because there are many things involved when you don't have any knowledge about the game.

Same goes for me, never understood either, and I think I have never watched a full game of either. I have seen videos of them on social media, like when someone does something amazing, like run and touch the base or whatever, and I have seen many videos like that, but I do not really get either of these. This is why there is no reason for me to pick any of them; I just avoid them and do not gamble in either.

However, if you were to force me to bet on either of them, like if I had to pick one, then I would probably pick cricket because it does look bigger in the world. Don't get me wrong, people do love baseball, and there are many fans of it, but if we were to check how many people in the world love cricket and how many people in the world love baseball, I am pretty sure that cricket would be more. And that makes it better, because the more people bet, and the more people love it, the better chances of you reading and learning it better, and I could bet accordingly.

To be honest I’ve not actually take my time to watch both game full time . Though I do still see some clips on socials , I don’t really know their rules that much but I do understand baseball to some extent, because sport movies usually peak my interest so most of them are usually, basketball, football and baseball.

 All I know is that I will see someone holding a ball (the baller ) and someone holding a bat (batter ) , and once the ball is been hit by the batter some players will start running towards the direction of the ball , the rule of base ball is almost like that of cricket, baseball involve running to catch the ball while in cricket the players will stand and catch the ball I guess that’s the little I know , well I prefer baseball still.

[Youngrebel]

I don't think I have any interest in both games, and that's because my main sports games that I bet on are just football and basketball, I've only bet into these games when I copied a bet slip from someone and I don't think that I would like to know more about these games. My first reg flag was seeing that both games has a very long duration and I don't really have the patience for that.

Both games are actually very boring to me compared football but that's just my take on it, others might have their one opinions about this but sports generally is supposed to be enjoyed so whatever others prefer is up to them.

Whether to watch a given sport or not is a personal preference. Soccer and basketball are always fast and offer thrilling scenes which impress upon you instantly without necessarily taking too long. Long games may be very tedious to those who want to watch games full of action. It is also the best choice to spend a relaxed time only watching what you like to watch.

Not much a fan of baseball but from little experience on sports betting I assumed for baseball to be that easier with cricket game. Although this is not really bet on our side because basketball and few other sports such racing and baseball. It is sound a bit new maybe the game could not be as tough as we may think, but I believe those who finds it common at their extreme could see it as something very common.
