    Baseball.
    Two reasons.
    I''ve been in love with it since I was in diapers.
    And, I'm good at it. (just ask me, I'll tell you lol)

    mlb dogs. favorites are overpriced in virtually every game since that is what the public plays. home field advantage also least important in baseball.

    Baseball for me. A losing streak can change into a winning streak pretty quickly. Unfortunately, the converse is also true.

    forget the sport, measure your ROI. Put more $ towards your best ROIs..

    If you don't have a positive ROI, go back to the drawing board or stop wasting your time...

    College football. Less games. More meaningful. Better shot at being on the right side and getting the cover

    Horse racing. Multiple betting options, year round availability, most challenging.

    The basic formula to betting NFL still holds true yet people don't adhere to it.
    That is, good teams usually more times than not beat bad teams (and here's the important part) good teams (over.500) will usually cover the spread when playing bad teams (under.500) more times than not.

    The operative word being *usually* and the ATS percentage is about 58%
