David asks…
Of the four major betting sports in North America (football, basketball, baseball, hockey)?
Which has the best chance for the bettor to win on pointspreads, O/U, and moneyline bets? Thanks for the input!
Chris answers:
Tough call, but I would say that football is probably the hardest with basketball behind it. The market for those two sports is quite efficient, thus resulting in pretty sharp numbers…however, I’m certainly not saying there isn’t any value to be found, but rather, they are a little more difficult to handicap.
I personally feel that both hockey and baseball are two of the more inefficient markets, particularly baseball. I’ve spoken with many sportsbook managers that they say they consistently get beat in both baseball and hockey just about every year (granted their handle is pretty small on those sports), but they have to offer it simply for business purposes. It’s very difficult for oddsmakers to set sharp moneylines for hockey and baseball (especially baseball because of the amount of games that are played everyday).
Hope that helps. Good luck.

George asks…
My friend and I made a bet on a hockey game. What should he have to do when his team loses ?
Not sexual, this is for something during school, and not too drastic.
Chris answers:
Go with brian mccaptain. That would be humiliating for him, and hilarious for you.
