Default Toughest Sport TO Bet And Watch?

Hockey

Almost every fukkin game goes to the wire and you live and die by every slapshot.

Fuk this game, way too much stress

Agreed.

NFL/NBA/NCAAF are the best sports to watch,

Good one, hockey is definitely the toughest. Baseball is tough only because a good team can have 90 wins and 70 losses - impossible to predict which will be which. But once the rhythm gets going you can tail some pitchers etc. But hockey, even the worst vs the best team is screwy sometimes.

Baseball can be great to watch. Especially if the game is cruising and you have the under.

I enjoy the MLB and actually forgot to put it in my prior post.

Baseball. Everything can be going great, then an incompetent reliever or closer enters the game and fukks everything to hell.

by a long shot, it's hockey .. this sport is tough to watch when you've got cash on it.. try watching hockey when you're in OT.. and it's 4 on 4 and chances everywhere and 2 on 1's and 3 on 1's... open nets.. etc...

in hockey, you are always 1 shot away from a loss.. very very stressful.. no other sport comes near it.. i've thrown up many times in my life from watching OT hockey or late in game when it is tied, or empty net goals with 1.2 secs left to lose my side and total on same goal.

But yes, I agree with the NHL being the worst to sweat, if only because of the pucklines that lose because of empty-net goals.

Hoops is my answer. Any game that can be covered that quickly = heartbreak or $$$$ with just a dribble or 2 in a couple of seconds....

Hockey and soccer have their own kind of stress, but not like the NBA or even NCABB.....

Nope.. there is a flow in soccer but if a team is superior that day it will show eventually.. but hockey is fast as hell and there's not much room for thinking. It's just find the open man, skate fast, shoot. Therefore most teams can beat most teams on any given day.

Soccer is played using a ball, hockey is played with a puck.

"Sudden death overtime" is much more common in hockey than soccer.
Regulation NHL games can end this way, regular season soccer matches do not.

That should clear things up for you, and stop begging me for information.

Boxing. Lay a nice amount on a boxer and tell me you dont feel it everytime he gets hit. Every single blow can kill your wager.

I don't call pucks "the 60 minute heart attack" for nothing you know, coach.

every sport can be very easy to watch, or very hard, depending on your capping abilities and how often you win and lose

NFL is pretty tough because after the play you always have to hold your breath for 5 seconds to make sure there isnt a bonehead personal foul or a late flag or some other bs.
