FROM A MONEY MAKING PERSPECTIVE...

What is the best sport to bet on?

you have to figure it has to be a sport with lots of games so that it is harder for the linesmakers to be accurate on them.

I suspect it's some of the "2nd tier" sports. For instance, last year wiseguys were 11-0 on UFC during one event - including several big dogs (200+).

lander,

good point, but are there enough plays to make it worth wild?

UFC alone? No, probably not, but my point was that if you master (or follow the masters) of the weaker-capped games like ..

UFC
Golf (follow urchin)
WNBA
etc ...

I imagine there's a ton of money to be had.

I grabbed half of those UFC moves last year, and often follow a Urchin prediction or two each week (or so) and have done alright.

Baseball!!!!
1. Its played every day=lof of opportunities
2. Played in good weather
3. Very few blown calls, compared to the other leagues
4. Injuries are not that much of a problem
5. No time limit+ every team gets an equal amount of chances
6. No backdoor covers allowed by the eventual winners

BUT you have to study the game.
Study the starters AND the bullpen
Dont bet on teams regardless of the price
I betcha most people betting baseball, couldnt name more than 5 players on most teams.
As far as knowing who might come in from the pen in the next game....forget about it
