Betting on Japanese Games?

Discussion in the Ask the Commish forum
Betting on Japanese Games?
I have a question I can't seem to find an answer to. Can anybody tell me how you can place bets on Japanese NPB games as you do with MLB games?

You can't. You can bet on horses, keirin bikes, and kyotei boats, and there's the soccer pools, but all other sports betting in Japan is outlawed.

All gambling is tightly regulated here.

Mmm. And it's not tightly regulated in North America? How easy is it to bet legally on MLB games without having to travel to Nevada?

Michael O. (mijow) - You will have to ask Pete Rose that question! Oh, you said legally!

Thanks for the replies guys. I saw on a blog or website that you can bet on the teams on the Internet with an online bookmaker. It was not from Japan, but online. If anyone knows the website, it would appreciated.
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
