Betting on the Chicago White Sox
The White Sox are looking towards the future as the MLB season is here. Read below to learn about their history and where to bet on the White Sox.
White Sox Franchise History
In the first two decades of the franchise’s existence, it claimed two World Series titles and appeared in another thanks in part to folklore legend Shoeless Joe Jackson.
After their World Series loss to the Cincinnati Reds in 1919, the White Sox fell on hard times and rarely won more games than they lost.
In 1959, Chicago lost another World Series, extending its title drought to 42 years. Unfortunately for White Sox fans, it wouldn’t be until 2005 that the infamous streak was finally broken.
The 2005 White Sox won 99 regular season games and swept the Houston Astros in four games in the World Series. Starting Pitcher Mark Buehrle and First Baseman Paul Konerko played integral roles in capturing the franchise’s first championship since Shoeless Joe’s days.
Since snapping the drought, the White Sox have struggled to establish consistent success, but it’s not for lack of talent across the board.
Former Sox pitcher Chris Sale finished top-5 in Cy Young voting in each of his last four seasons with the team and First Baseman Jose Abreu even won an MVP in 2020.
⚾ Betting on the Chicago White Sox in Illinois ⚾
Both online and retail sports betting were legalized in Illinois in 2019, but they did not launch until 2020. BetRivers Sportsbook went live on June 18, 2020, officially making Illinois online sports betting a reality.
By the end of 2020, four online operators were live and accepting wagers in the Prairie State. Now, Illinois is a major player in US sports betting as most of the industry’s leading sportsbooks offer their product there.
As the sports betting market experiences continued growth and maturity, White Sox bettors should reap the benefits of its diversity. Check out the example below to see what betting on the White Sox looks like:
