[RPM]

I have heard a lot of people say hockey is the easiest, but for me i think i have done best with nba over the last few years.

There is no easy sport to beat. Therefore there is no easiest sport to beat. There may be better opportunities in the college ranks, a lot more games with lines not so tight. Nothing in this business is easy. No oversimplifications, beat the line, beat the game. You may fool yourself thinking it is easy, most novice gamblers, especially poker players get a reality check right away. Hard work and dedication outweigh looking for that easy money. Get rich quick schemes are similar to easy sports to beat. OF:movingeye

I don't remember RPM saying above that sports were "easy to beat"
I think I recall him asking, in your opinion, or in your instance, what is the easiest to beat.......:think2:

 

[Ego74]

definately not the "easiest', per se, but for me personally, the NFL

I agree 100%. When it comes to gambling nothing is ever "easy" to beat.

Sorry for the confusion. Big difference between sports are easy to beat, and which is the easiest to beat. OF

 

[CHASEMAN]

College football.

College hoops tourney (both NCAA & NIT).

 

[lander]

I'd guess it would be something like UFC or Arena -- watch the steam on those events sometime.

I think you may be right about the UFC. All 3 favs won last night.
By the way, those that missed it, they are showing again tonight at 10:00 I believe. The 2nd fight is something you MUST see!

How about which sports have you generally had the most success at, scratch the luck, because it always runs out. I would think basketball. For one, in football the ramifications of a turnover can be devastating. A pick return could result in a 14 point swing. Possibly 30% of the game points. A turnover in hoops could be a 5 point swing, or 2% of points scored. And turnovers in football play a huge factor in the outcome. How many teams win the game after losing the turnover battle? Baseball have two ugly variables, the guy dressed in blue behind home plate and the pens. Umpires can call a ball a strike, or a strike a ball. In all professional sports, they have more control of the outcome of the game than any other. By calling balls and strikes, they influence the entire game. The pens are the joker. The wild card. How many games are won/lost by the pen? No other sports sticks a cold player in, to decide the outcome of the game. Maybe a kicker, in football. To my mind, I ask myself, which games have the fewest swing games, or games you needed that bounce, in order to win.

As far as numbers, The Shrink is right. College sports do not get the attention the pros do. In fact on a linemaking progression, you would start by lining the MNF, then the pro TV games, national broadcast. Then the rest of the pros. Then the NCAA tv games, the top 25. Then it gets a little tougher. When you start getting down to the lower conferences, and the worst teams in them, the lines just do not receive that much attention. Nor do they receive much action, except for loyal fans and bettors with a perceived edge, or thinking they have a stronger number. This is especially true in hoops, but in football also. Sports services also are bound to this popularity contest. They can't give out the Marist/Loyola Maryland game as a game of the day. They have to be on that Duke/North Carolina. It is what the public wants.
Great topic RPM, very thought provoking. :toast: OF
