Default Which Sport is the Least Difficult to Beat?

Note I said "least difficult," not "easiest." Ain't nothin' easy when Sr Bookmaker holds the mathematical edge, even if you got inside info on a crooked cockroach race.

Talkin' major sports - college and pro foots, hoops, MLB, hockey. Or even non-majors . . .

My vote would be college hoops, just because of the many games each week, tougher for linemakers not to make errors. And an advantage for the throrough researcher who specializes in one or two of the more obscure conferences.

You can always find some kind of error. I find euro hockey is fine as sometimes you can even find books on opposite sides of who the favourite is. I love getting 1/2 a puck on both teams. But I find there the good teams are far more predictable than NHL.

I usually had huge success in the NHL..this year I have a disturbing habit of losing in shootouts..4 SO losses this week alone. As a gambler, the shootout is the worst thing the NHL has ever done.

A simple rule of thumb: the sport with the lowest limits is easiest to beat.

Of the majors, I think NCAAF/NCAAB.

Really? When & where is the next game? - I'd like to keep abreast of that sport. I may even bust out of my losin' streak.

And all you boobs here can stop tittering, I know you all have had losing streaks.

I think College Football is the easiest for me because you find very good value on teams and you have all week to study it out and figure out who you are going to play that week and if you did it right you will have a good year.

I will agree with sham for the first time ever. There are so many games, and each has a total too. The sheer number of games makes it easier to find winners.

No, just cable.

But when visiting friends in Mexico I can watch almost anything. 'Cause everyone there steals the U.S. Direct TV signal, especially those folks who live near the border, your dish can be standard size.

US Dirct TV is not legal in Mexico, but you pay a hacker around $75 for half a year, and he guarantees that he'll do a free fix for you if DirecTV zaps the receiver card in that timeframe. And you get ALL the channels, premium and otherwise, sports worldwide incl Pay Per View and Sunday Ticket, concerts, porn galore etc

Can't wait to get my marker down on those busty bouncin' babes bangin' a ball round a soccer field.

think you're probably right, Coach, because less betting means less attention from linemakers (tho also lower limits most likely). But with so many lined teams in College hoops there are cracks in the concrete that can be taken advantage of

NFL has always been my bread and butter. Not this season.

NBA has been really good to me too. Gotta be selective though which kinda sucks.

When Pinny has the lines up, I find OHL hockey the easiest to beat. Living in an OHL city and watching alot of live games gives me an edge i find, not to mention the games are easier to predict. I also find there is alot more scoring in OHL hockey making the overs easier to hit than NHL hockey.

Hey JJ,
Hmmmmm does that time period exist?

Between Football,Baseball ,hockey,basketball, always some sort of action.

Not 100% but i believe between those four sports the only days you couldn't make a bet would be the day before and after the MLB all-star game.

College football gives you the best odds to win. That's saying that you're only betting one game. Parlay's are for suckers.

baseball is the toughest because there are so many games plus pitchers dont always play the way you expect
