What is Your Most Difficult Sport to Handicap?

With the NBA and CBB season coming around the corner, I cringe a bit and think about how, over many years, I have generally been unsuccessful at these two sports. The NBA has gotten better for me over time, but still not what I would call successful, and CBB has been a disaster for me the last few years. Time to try to figure out a new system there....

Leads to the question - I am sure that this happens with many - what is your worst sport and why do you think it is? Do you still try to play it if you know that you have been bad historically? Do you play it for less money or less games? Or do you avoid it altogether?

NBA, while CBB is far and away my best

I used to suck at MLB, but I'm better in recent years, especially 2015. Although I really don't wager on MLB as much or as consistently as football and CBB

NFL for years.

But for some reason, I'm doing pretty good this year.

Probably just overdue for a good NFL year.

nba is the easiest, nfl is easily the hardest and almost not even possible to actually cap

NFL and NBA are good for me. NCAAB is also okay. MLB is not so good. I have good and bad years with MLB. Money lines are the thing I have the most trouble with. I prefer point spreads.

NBA totals, losing team has the ball with 20 seconds left, 9 pt. game, total is 210 and the score is 109-100 and it all comes down to whether or not the losing team hits their 3 pointer at the end.

Very interesting regarding NBA - 2 regard it as the easiest, and 2 as the hardest (one NBA, one just totals).

NCAAB has some votes for the best too.

Those that find either one easy - do you use a statistical system, or do you go more by feel? Or a different way (trends, systems, etc.)?

its easy because there isn't a new gameplay every single game. in nfl and ncaa you have teams that come out and play completely different than they did last week. in the nba when a team is knocking down shots and you see their confidence they usually come out the next night and do the same thing. they don't take a week off between games where you have to guess how they will look

theres always a time where a team will play the kings in sac then go to the warriors the next night, because of a road back to back the line will be inflated against the road team and i sware they always cover against the warriors the second night

NFL, don't even bother trying anymore, will randomly pick a few games and only wager beer money.
