Question about the Sports & Spreads...

[willyback]

What types of sports do you find to be more predictable & profitable - from a sports betting perspective?

1. Fixed Spread Sports: Baseball & Hockey
2. Loose Spread Sports: Football & Basketball

Any takers...?

There is a difference between predictability and profitability.

True... it's only profitable if it's predictable (and you're willing to put up the cash).

From a capping perspective, I'll take a halftime NBA line over any other. It's you versus the linesmaker who has to make a play on a game he didn't watch. With baseball and hockey spreads there are more books copying and trying to stay within range of the top books.

Point taken. Challenging the oddsmaker head on (I LIKE IT ).

"Predictability" just means that you'll see +160/-190 instead of -110/-110.
