Is Basketball the easiest to make money with?

samgurt · 08-25-10, 11:05 PM

I would say definitely baseball. Knowing who is on the mound gives huge advantages in my opinion

i agree. Some teams have packed it in at the start of AUG. The prices for the teams in contention are very expensive.

it is if your a referee.

BookieOweMe · 08-25-10, 11:28 PM

baseball has killed me.

OldSchool75 · 08-25-10, 11:55 PM

Football is easiest for me

By far I have had the most success betting baseball.

For me, basketball was the best. Baseball destroyed me, but I made a lot on basketball, pro and college. Guess it just depends on the person.

NFL without a doubt, college football is good to me too.

The nice thing about NBA and MLB betting is you do have a huge historic sample size to look at. With NFL you don't have near the historic sample to draw on. Basically one MLB season (162 games) equals 10 NFL season (16 games) in sample. Now some will argue that MLB is so pitcher dependent that you can really only say your sample is whatever your starter gives you (approx 30 games) but that is still twice the sample of an NFL season. With the NBA it is 81 games. So depending upon how you view MLB you might even say that the NBA has the largest historic samples.

I've heard since there's so few games played during the NFL season it makes it that much harder to get a decent sample size to know if you're truly beating it. Whereas in basketball and especially baseball there's a lot more games, hence, a more significant sample size.

That being said, I'm still gonna give betting the NFL a shot this season.

NFL

No such thing as a sport that is easy

Son if it was easy you would not work and just bet the sport

THE PROFIT · 08-26-10, 05:08 AM

I enjoy football the most but the easiest is probably college hoops totals

Diesel79 · 08-26-10, 08:39 AM

NBA.... but I only bet 2-3 games per week. If I bet more then usually losing streak follows

mdemps9190 · 08-26-10, 09:40 AM

yeah I think NBA due to its rigged nature...

keyboarding · 08-26-10, 12:37 PM

NHL. Must be a Canadian thing.

makemerich · 08-26-10, 02:24 PM

i say bballis hardest. cus so rigged

Football is the absolute worst sport to make money on..In the NFL there is juice on every pointspread with an occasional EV or +105 springled in..

Why do you think all these sportsbook starting calling you when football season rolls around. The lines are so sharp that every half point could mean life or death..

Baseball is easily the best to make money. No points spreads(unless u play the runline) and the underdogs have a much better chance to win.

Masu485 · 08-26-10, 02:39 PM

Everyone thinks the easiest sport to win at is whatever sport is NOT in season

scarp · 08-26-10, 03:11 PM

NFL makes me the most

Scorpion · 08-26-10, 03:16 PM

NFL Spreads
All u have to do is flip a coin!

Naz18 · 08-26-10, 03:50 PM

If you know the refs then yes...you could make a killing on NBA totals...

hels · 08-26-10, 04:24 PM

If any sport was easy to bet then you would have more than 5% lifetime winners.

playa420 · 08-26-10, 06:51 PM

The NBA and MMA are the easiest sports to bet on for me.NFL and MLB seem impossible to beat.

EBDOG · 08-26-10, 08:29 PM

everything but baseball i make money off of

Sawyer · 08-26-10, 08:31 PM

Basketball totals (WNBA Specially) are easier to beat/cap then other sports in my opinion.

NFL is hardest of all.
NCAAF is easier then NFL.

Baseball, basketball and hockey are $$$

portuguese handball by a landslide

TGHMak · 08-27-10, 03:46 AM

2 team teasers are great for throwing off some sharp lines and team totals has always been profitable.

adlai · 08-28-10, 10:51 AM

no, it's the hardest... hockey is the easiest, baseball is a close second.

Sawsi · 08-28-10, 11:40 AM

To me the NBA is the easiest and most predictable. College hoops are a little tougher. I'd say baseball is the easiest though. Like some have already said knowing the Probable starters is usually money in the bank.
