"I bet" and "I'll bet"

Is there any difference in meaning between: "I bet you've never seen one of these before" and "I'll bet you've never seen one of these before"? Some dictionaries list them as interchangeable but for some reason "I bet" sounds better to me. Can "I'll bet be followed by past simple tense" as in:

- I'll bet you were pretty good at baseball in high school.

Thank you.
