SPANKY - PRO SPORTS BETTOR & HOST OF BE BETTER BETTORS

“Best” is subjective. I’m pretty sure I said this earlier but lower limits mean the sport is easier to beat betting. That also means you will get kicked out faster. Higher limits mean the sport is tougher to beat but you will last longer. We try and find a balance where we mostly bet major sports but we sneak in a few off the wall events here and there.

That depends on whether you want to maximize the chances of success or maximize the chances of making a living from betting. If the former, then it's best to choose niche sports where you have a greater chance of knowing more than the bookmakers' modelers and traders. Unfortunately, because bookmakers will know less about these sports they will also limit the amount you can stake on them, hence limit your profits. If the latter, then it's best to choose sports with high turnovers and where there are opportunities to place many bets (to reduce the influence of bankroll variance), like football, NBA, NFL, and possibly tennis. However, because bookmakers know more about these sports, and other bettors do too, these markets are more efficient, hence harder to make profits

I would say whichever sport you have or can get the biggest edge in, Would be the best sport to bet on. Obviously more popular sports will allow you to get larger bets on (NFL EPL etc). But on the flip side, they are likely to be much harder to beat.

Then you have smaller markets, for example, the Polish second division football. Which you might be able to crush for a very high ROI but getting decent-sized bets on will be a challenge.

So I think the answer to "Is there a best sport to bet on?" is going to vary vastly from person to person.

The best sport to bet on is the one you have an edge on. If you are starting out, it's best to look at smaller leagues and more obscure sports/markets as these are the most likely to have inefficient markets. As you won't be betting a lot of money, you should be able to get on as well. You can give yourself an edge on these markets by finding or creating your own data sources.

If you are betting larger sums you need to be betting into major leagues. I've found the American sports are less efficient than the larger football leagues.
