What is the best Sport to bet on ?

[mediaBuzz]

I am just kind of curious if anyone has done any research of has any opinions on which sport they think is the best sport to gamble.  I guess I'm looking for both opinions and hard data.

I mostly bet on NBA, MLB and even NFL but recently I have stopped betting on NBA because the sport doesn't entertain me at all and some weird things have happened recently like you may see how Doncic scored a 3-pointer so things like that happen where a team leads for 3 quarters but suddenly a comeback will happen in the 4th. I rather prefer betting on NFL which is so much more fun to watch and bet.

There I bet a lot on e-sports like Dota2 and LoL matches but only higher level of leagues and in-play after watching the drafts and picks from both teams. Also, I bet on CSGO at times.

The best one for me has to be NFL in terms of profit but the one I enjoy the most watching is actually Dota2 because of how games can turn in a single team fight.

The same here. I tried to bet on every sport. Sit on tennis for quite a bit of time. Later found that basketball is more stable like there are strong teams and weak teams and they perform the same in the court: strong and weak. Not like you win the first 4 sets at 40:0 and then end up losing the tiebreak at 4-6.

There's really no best sport that everyone is gambling, we gamble based on the sports that we personally love, and since I love basketball, I do gamble on that specific game in different league such us NBA, chinese league, Japan and mostly in our local basketball.

In terms of research, it's easy to make a research on NBA since it's a bigger league and more people are putting up information that is vital for our analysis.

Usually, gamblers bet on something they are very familiar with. In case if you've no clue what to bet on, you can bet on any football or basketball teams. You just need to know what the odds are of winning, and what are the respective markets for your chosen teams. There are very less chances that you'll lose money. You can also bet on individual players, by watching sports matches. However, this too can be difficult for beginners because every match is different and unique.

Bookmakers are already familiar with the gamblers preferences, which makes it easier for them to select the most lucrative betting opportunities.

This could depend on which country you live in, if in your country the most popular is football, it could be the best sports game for you is related to football and you don't have an interest in basketball. If you were to place a bet on sports games just choose those kinds of games that you already know because I guess you also knew their weakness and possibly the injured p[layer from the team.

E-sports now has been most gamblers want to bet since physical games were suspended due to the pandemic and everything was made on E-sports. I guess you may also consider that.

I'm into boxing and Basketball more, but based on my experience, it's easier to follow basketball as they have one season and a lot of teams are competing.

In major sport in basketball like NBA, they have daily games so that makes it more fun if we like to bet regularly, not only that they have games daily, they also have a lot of games for us to bet, more option the better as we can choose the best game or even bet on all of them if we are like looking for some extra fun.

Personally, it is not about which sports is best to bet on but which sports you are most familiar with, or more specifically which sports you are are closely following.

As for me, NBA is the easiest since, unlike boxing, MMA, and so on, it has a lot more games to bet on. But normally I am only drawn into it more during playoffs rather than during the regular season. The same goes with my favorite eSports DOTA II. Minor tournaments don't excite me much. The plays and execution accuracy are not the ones you expect from the players and the teams when they are in minor tournaments as compared to when they are at a major tournament or the championship rounds.

During the pandemic, the best sport that i've bet on is probably the NFL, esports, football and lastly basketball. What I like most about the first three is that most of the matches are scheduled during the weekends. They're not always easy to predict since home advantage could mean little to certain teams but it could go both ways as there are teams that dominate on road games and there's tons of injured players this season that affected the top teams significantly.

The NFL was first in my list because the last regular season was too predictable even with the injuries, there was a few upsets at the start but after that it's mostly favs winning. While the other leagues like the NBA and top football league becomes much harder there's too much inconsistency (similar to tennis) it felt like you're better off live betting if you want a better line.

I find Tennis to be the easiest sport to make a betting. My early day wins were through Tennis. I go with Tennis for a simple reason, when I was new to gambling I don't have much knowledge about Tennis. Myself used to gather data related to the players and the win probability. Later used to select the odds based on the suggestion from sites particularly functioning for it. With tennis it is good to prefer live Betting.

Maybe we can add darts to the equation here. I mean we got Basketball, Football, Boxing, American Football, and other contact sports that are already in the betting arenas. But if you are also going to ask me, then it is also good to add esports now like DOTA and Fortnite or League of Legends as they are also good for the market and there is a potential profit in the part of the betting establishments due to the sheer number of supporters of esports.

you are often going to bet for a team or an athlete if you have been a fan already. it's easy to bet on NBA since these teams are often being discussed on TV which you can compare already who would likely win the games. but if you are not following the sport, you best not to try betting on it. for aged guys who had outgrown online games, esports will not be in the equation.

basketball is usual because friends are normally talking about it and betting on their own. boxing and mma will make your mind work because you can analyze which guys have the advantage and which fighter is a match that will likely beat the other.

I am just kind of curious if anyone has done any research of has any opinions on which sport they think is the best sport to gamble.  I guess I'm looking for both opinions and hard data.

Personally I bet on NFL Football the most, followed by the NBA, MLB, College Basketball and every once in a while I'll bet on a big Soccer ( football for you Euros ) game like the Classico.  For me, Football by far seems to be the easiest sport to bet on.  Baseball and Basketball are too random and their betting lines tend to be a bit more confusing.  With the NFL only having 16 games vs MLB with 162 and the NBA with 82..It seems like there is much less of a chance for an upset or sloppy game vs the other two where the regular season simply doesn't mean nearly enough.

Just curious what you guys think..

Depending on what sport you are betting, some sites offer live betting on some games. The odds can be alot lower and I would only bet single games not parlays, but I think a bettor can do a lot better in the long run betting live games and seeing some of the action before placing the bet.

I am not sure if there is research or study about the best sports to gamble because that will depend on a gambler itself, and they will search for the sports games that fit what they want. It does not close that they will have more than one sports game, so it will be hard for them to choose the best sports to gamble. But I see that football and basketball have a big fan, and they select that for their favorite games. In some countries, the fan will like rugby which is not popular in the other country.

Bet on sports that you know and have interest in so you would know what team to bet.
Don't force yourself to bet on a sports that you don't know you wouldn't enjoy watching it and wouldn't feel excited or what about the match.
Learn to enjoy it not just bet on it, For me it is better that way so if you won the bet it isn't just the bet that you would feel good of but also the match.

[nakamura12]

If esports is included then I would bet on games like dota 2 or mobile legends as I am also players of games like that. I also play first person shooter game like crossfire or CSGO. if esports is not included then i'll bet on basketball or volleyball rather than betting on sports that you don't know how to play. Not saying that it's the best sports to bet but it's what I would bet.

[MAAManda]

In my opinion, the easiest sport to bet on is Soccer.

Why? There is not too much to learn about its functions

When I first signed up for a local gambling site, I saw a huge selection of sports, but there were so many that confused me. But when I saw Soccer, I immediately understood in just one look.

Soccer is the easiest sports betting to understand

[bitzizzix]

Most people bet on sports that they know and know as a whole, apart from identifying the player or team we must also understand the sport that is played.
and thus will have the opportunity to win and but there are also those who bet without knowing and understanding the sports at stake and only rely on luck or before betting will find out through the internet and will bet on the information obtained.

^ You have a make sense on this, because even me, I only place a bet when I know what sports it is. I don't have an idea of football or soccer games technically and ideally. Probably basketball game only I can understand and know whose team that has a good performance that potentially can able to win. Because sports for me is not based on luck games, sometimes it matters on the team that you have to choose. Nevertheless, speaking of e-sports will probably also good to consider like CSGO and DOTA2.

[AniviaBtc]

Besides NFL, For me, NBA is also the best sport to bet on when you want to have a large odds.

Basketball is one of the the most famous sports around the world that's the reason why it is also popular in some Sports gambling sites.

You can bet and at the same time support the team that you are a fan of.

[Swopon]

From my own perception, basically I will go where I feel comfort. I believe that most of the people like sports and will go for sports betting. Like a said, we are habituated to see cricket, football, basketball etc. You can use such matches for gambling. I strongly believe that people will suggest these type of things.

IPL is running, so there has a demand now for it on gambling sites. This is one of the most exciting game in the world.

[danherbias07]

Basketball especially NBA.
They say it's not the best sport anymore because it got softer unlike the 80's-90's.
But as long as someone still enjoys the game it won't matter. Like me.

It's difficult to make blind bets with a sport that you don't know or like.
Let's say, NFL. I know the rules and I even watched some games before but I don't enjoy it as much as I do with basketball.
I put bets to make the game more thrilling. Yes, it needs deep analysis and be updated with players but it becomes easier once you got used to it.
