Hockey, after Wayne Gretsky retired I asked myself, "Who the fuck are these guys?"

I don't understand why so many people think the NBA is hard to cap.. I actually find it one of the more easier ones to cap..

I'd have to say baseball cause of the non-sense of urgency. But I'm not really into baseball so that might be it..

Any sport you watch a lot of is always going to be easy for you to cap I think.

When I had the MLB package it seemed easy. Likewise for the NBA.

Do you watch a lot of different MLB gyne? I dont really too much anymore. Watch the Sox faithfully and keep an on scores for other teams or watch the Fox game. And I'm finding it more difficult to cap based solely on stats.

once you get your ass kicked a couple seasons in the nba, you start to wisen up. Overall, it has a very huge learning curve.

I watch it very little, out of all the major sports, I enjoy baseball the least by far.

How about you?

Gyne, I used to watch all of baseball like crazy, but I slowed down. Total junkie, I had to flip through every game and keep my eye on everything.

Thats the point I am making though, I bet if you liked it more and watched it more you would find it a lot easier to cap. And I think this holds true for any sport.

I'm going through a chronic phase of gambling burn out right now. And if I force myself to go outside what I can do right now, I'll just be throwing $$ away.

I cap them all. sort of a vague question. Soccer bigger than all 4 combined. We do have Tennis, Golf, NAscar, boxing.

Hard to handicap every team, every player. You can say you do but you will be spread thin.

Ill give you my run down

Tennis- is harder than people think, and I think they have among the sharpest lines by far, why do they have the sharpest lines? because you have players making the lines and betting the lines. no other sport has that. The reason it is beatable is because the mano e mano factor, where you handicap aperson instead of team.

Golf- Most beatable, I think the lines are weak at best. They get away with it because I think there is a real lack of talent as far as # of sharps, betting golf. Its not like nfl or mlb where every moron in a sports bar making bad plays. My ROI pct is best in this

Nascar- I dont play, it was a money store for sharps, but lines getting better now.

Boxing and UFC- I think there is solid UFC info out there, especially with fighters camps betting big money.

MLB- A grind, but if you have any brain at all you can beat a 5 cent line. It is hard game for me to watch as a fan, as it is monotinous and boring as in I been there and did that for 20 years. You can only take so many latinos making 1st and 3rd outs at 3rd base. Only watch so many 3 hour 8-3 games with the Twins and Royals. Only take so much of Peter Gammons blabbing away. 162 boring episodes of baseball tonight. They shove it down our throat like WSOP replays and is one of the reason ESPN disgusts me. I would much rather watch some variety, say some Aussie Rules football or some Canadina football, 1500 meter track race. Something, anything to expand Americas mind.

NFL- I once went 55-30 in the Hilton contest, only about 5 out of about 5000 can say that. I like 2nd halfs, preseason, totals. Prefer sides more later in year. But a very beatable game despite the good numbers.

Ill post more on this later as I have 4 golf tours to handicap right now.

I think we can all agree that the NFL is the easiest. And it's not even really close.

I think Soccer is the hardest at least from what my ROI% says....On a good run lately during Copa and the U20 WC though.

Most of the world disagrees with you there whalewager, and in some countries you would probably be lynched.
