    I think for MLB if you can find a 90-100 game winning team overall you should/could make a profit
    the only reason why I say "could or should" is the juice on a top team

    You would have to worry about the juice in NHL as well

    NBA & NFL you couldn't do it with spreads, and ML would be suicide

          Theoretically impossible. Consider the highest level sports bettors working by themselves. Might earn $100,000 per yer. Betting on 120 American professional teams, plus a few hundred college teams, plus soccer, golf, and tennis. Being limited to only one team would mean earning about $150. For the whole year. They would just move on to something else. How about for the hobbyist who earns a few thousand per year? Congratulations, by being restricted to one team, we get to work for the entire year and earn enough money to buy a value meal at McDonald's

            Would have to be a surprising team that gets priced down all year cause people expect them to regress.

            No chance with teams like the yankees or dodgers.

              You’re limiting your bets which means you’re already a winner and have a way better chance Then the guys betting multiple games each day

                Some folks confuse 'winning more' with 'losing less'

                  This mindset makes it impossible to win using any sort of betting method

                          With a 1-2% edge, that would be between $50,000 and $100,000 bet for every $1,000 earned. We all believe that $50,000 in action represents one bet for such a mentally fit person like you

                            you will never get a 1-2% edge per bet. so where does that put you?

                                  That would pus us at a 0.5% edge. Which would mean $200,000 in action for every $1,000 earned. Which is definitely pennies to you, because you're a bug guy on the internet
