Sports Betting

Posted by slipperytoad as Betting Strategy

It’s been a busy week with work at both ends of the spectrum.

During the day my focus has been meeting final deadlines for a major project at work. During the evenings; serious research into Sports betting.

It took a while me to recognise that all successful investment strategies require a diverse portfolio.

The question is what’s the best sports to punt, um I mean investing in?

This dilemma is answered in an article on the The Punters Paradise web site. The results of their evaluation is as follows (in order of preference)

  1. NFL
  2. NBA
  3. Soccer, domestic
  4. MLB
  5. NHL
  6. Motor Racing
  7. Golf
  8. Snooker
  9. Men’s Tennis
  10. Women’s Tennis
  11. Horses
  12. Dogs

American SportsNotice where horse racing is ranked?

The next question is which sport to invest my time in?

The NFL season is over; the NBA season is coming to an end along with NHL. Over this side of the Atlantic the domestic football season is almost over though the European championships are fast approaching.

Unfortunately there is not enough time to put in place and test a profitable strategy for this event.

The next post will bring you up to speed with my statistical endeavours when analysing Baseball games.
