I only make bets on the sports I love...
football is a sport I love, I almost never make bets on other sports. of course everyone has a different answer, I also see that boxing and golf is still one of the most popular sports for the bettor.

Football (or Soccer) without a doubt. I tried basketball before but I hated it. The way calculate the rates makes it almost impossible to have an educated guess. Basketball becomes more like a dice game because of that. Some people like tennis too but I find it very boring.
The answer for this question is very personal and will depend on each individual's preferences and experiences. As you are familiarized with soccer and have a personal interest for this specific sport, it's indeed the best option to place bets. But for someone who doesn't like following soccer matches very much, this person should be looking for another sport to bet.
And not only traditional sports like basketball, baseball, soccer are possible options. Any kind of competition between teams or single players can be an interesting niche to start betting on, since the gambler has interest for it and a vast knowledge about the game and the players involved.

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.
Boxing and basketball for me. I think this will really depend on your hobby and likes. I'm into those two sports because those are the sports that I've been watching since I was a kid and the other sports, I haven't watched them and that's why when I grew old I have no idea about the rules, players and other things that are related to it.
Does eSports count?
If op has a standard of contact sports then this isn't included. But this is also the other venue that I mostly follow all of the time too. 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.
this dont need research but we are naturaly born with a liking to specific sports and this sport is the best to gamble because we are familiar to it . betting on the sport that you have no idea but because it was in favored by many will make you a fake person .
football is not my number one sport but its true that footbal is easy to predict if who will win when the game has started because of how hard it is to make a goal but basketball and games that have closed rings are prone to comebacks.
In fact, there is an ideological difference for gamblers. There are those who prefer electronic sports. But there is a majority who prefer to bet on the European leagues, especially the English and Spanish Liga!!! I don't think we can define the favorite sport of the majority of gamblers, so I prefer EPL matches!
I have to agree that soccer is undoubtedly the most popular sport but I think because of the lockdowns and lack of sports there was a surge in esports and its betting which is why a lot of people prefer betting on electronic sports. If all the sports and leagues are available I would say the best one is certainly soccer with so many leagues.For me, the best sports to bet on underdogs: Table-Tennis, UFC and esports
The best sports to bet on overdogs: Cricket, Tennis and Soccer

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..

I guess it's like saying what is your favorite book to read? It should be highly dependent on your own interests. Just like you should research a company before making any share purchases, you will be able to make much better judgement calls on sports that you actively watch. You'll perform way better if you know all the rules around a sport, for instance if you are going to place a last minute in-play bet on a football (soccer) game thinking that both teams will draw.. without realizing that it is a semi-final that requires penalty shoot-outs to decide a winner, you will be totally wasting your money. Personally I like betting on soccer because there are so many games available and sometimes the odds on offer don't reflect how well a team has played recently.
I think this automatically correlates to what sport has the most gambling participation by everyone in the world. Whether it's Football or Soccer, the more people it has gambling, the more possible profits you could have.
If you know the different teams and matchups that have advantages over other groups, you would likely increase your chances of winning. If not, then it's better to gamble in a casino, lol.
Additionally, I see boxing as a great sport to bet on as well.
The hard data would be the following.

- The more famous the sport, the more profitable it could be.
- Understand the odds. Who is more likely to win, etc.
My opinion would be
- Gamble what you know and love
- Gamble what you can afford to lose
which sport they think is the best sport to gamble
It depends, a lot, what sports you follow closely.
And this means that any research you do can easily come with inconsistent data or incorrect results. I mean that in Europe most will probably choose (European) football, the Americans may choose baseball or their football, the Canadians maybe hokey... and the answer will depend on the number of answers from each region
This one, it really based on where you are located. I will Asia is on the basketball scene, while European loves their football. So there's no single sports, but I'm sure there are gamblers around that bet on multiple sports as well. It just shows how global the sports is, but certain region is biased on one sports.

I think you should be betting on the sports you know the most about. To be profitable with sports betting we need to stay up to date on the league, possible transfers and injuries of good players. For me this sport is football. I like to watch the games and played it myself in the past. So staying up to date on my home team comes naturally to me. If I don't know much about a sport I wouldn't bet on it.

What is the best Sport to bet on ?
In my stead.NBA. the one and only, though I haven't tried watching any sports other than that, but I also tried betting on football spanish league tru a little bit of skimming.
As for the reason, this is thr only sports I know ever since I was a kid, and I used to play that on High School, and lastly when it comes to gamble it reallly is easy to understand compared to other games.
I'd rather watch women's volleyball than watching a whole match of baseball 😁😁😁
To keep it short, I only gamble where I find some fun.
Every person will be answer :
- American Footbal
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Tennis
- Footbal
And more sport, yeah just like @Panjul say all depends on the person itself what they are watch for the hobby. If most of them watch Footbal, then off course they will saying the best sport to bet is football because they have more knowledge of each team he know instance other sport.
This thread will got some answer based your only own knowledge about the sport you watch it self.

The best is the one that you know about it well, best for other does not mean best for us and vice versa.
Sports betting is about our own knowledge IMO, if we are familiar with one specific sport then we should bet on it only.
Indeed we are free to bet on other sports (by following tips, or suggestion from others) but there is no points for betting on something that we do not even familiar with.

Does eSports count? What basis are we forming our opinions on anyway? How easy it is to profit or just based on interest? Imo, it highly depends on the teams that make up the scene, and how much you actually know about the sports. In my case, I'd take eSports then Basketball, both of which I know quite a bit of knowledge about mechanics and teams. I also like watching Football, but that's it, only watching. I don't really know much about the teams as well as the rules (the less known ones).
