    my guess is the MLB with NFL followed in second. i think the public gets buried the most in NBA or college football.

            I don't think the public makes money betting anything.

                  i know that i just mean, what sport do they do the BEST in regardless of them losing in everything due to there square plays. so i guess overall that would mean what sport does square plays hit the most.

                    I would guess baseball or hockey? Any sport where the squares are eliminated really.

                        In that case I would say soccer.

                          Public probably lose the least in college football. The books cleanup in the NFL and NBA, and the "public" doesnt really bet baseball or hockey.

                                Public loses the least in college football? That is a new one.

                                The books clean up in NFL. Sure tons of people win but there are so many dumb ****s betting that only show up for NFL that they still clean up.

                                They clean up in college football. They clean up in NBA.

                                Baseball, college basketball are solid sports for the player but not nearly enough people bet these.

                                Soccer is killer for books, especially because most people don't bet it unless they know what is what.

                                    public always loses at final, one of 10 people can win 100$ and books win 100-th times more

                                        If baseball was so easy to win online books would not offer the DimeLine they do. I think public does best in WNBA.

                                                they are losing because of the juice and not because of their squareness

                                                  That's right. Vegas' moneymaker is NFL. On the other side, sportsbooks are happy if they're breakeven in the end of baseball season but they don't worry since public loses lots of $$$ during NFL season.

                                                          They lose less at whatever sport has the lowest juice. Baseball juice seems to be declining heavily, so let's go with that. Too many rec books still putting up 20 cent lines on NFL sides.

                                                              agreed.

                                                              i imagine most people at the top of the bell curve being at or slightly under 50%. throw in the house edge and poor money management, i really don't see how the public ever wins. i do see some big ass casinos in Vegas and tons of offshore books though.
