My choice is football, most game's, so many different bets we can bet on. Always some league's and championship's over the year.
Plus I like to watch football games, and I have my favorite teams, watch their progress through the year. All that make football the most easiest to bet on in my case.
I like to watch tennis and basketball, and occasionally I put some bet on that sport's also.

I have tried betting on basketball, the NFL, soccer and baseball with mixed results. I am curious which sport has made you a consistent winner in sports bets. And why do you think you're a winner in that sport? Are some sports easier to handicap than others?
Soccer is undisputed the best sports to win and bet at, there are almost 100 games going on all the time with soccer which no other sports can offer you. Moreover you can bet on over/under goals when you know attack/ defense of a team.

I like betting on esports. Counterstrike is no so easy the game can change so quickly but then again so can it with legue of legends and dota2 where a team could almost lose then pull through carry their team and steal the win right in front of the other teams face. I would have to say I like betting on dota2 and other MOBA games I find after playing for over 10 years I now grasp a firm understanding on the winners. I also study and understand the players weakness and strength.

College football (American football) is easiest. The reason why is because there is very much less parity among the teams that are scheduled/forced to play against each other. Meaning that weaker teams often have to play stronger teams.

Teams vie to play in the big bowl games at the end of the year. The bigger bowl games bring more money and prestige to those schools that play in them. Getting to play in the bowl games is based on overall rankings. Because there are so many teams and not enough weeks in the season, the better teams don't always play against each other during the regular season. Because of this, teams not only have an incentive to win against whoever they play, but to win as big as possible even if they are playing a weak team. That means scoring as many points as possible even when the game is in hand.

That's why you see, for example, Alabama Crimson Tide favored to win over Our Lady of Mercy School by +40 points, but you know they will win by at least 50 points if not 60. The Alabama coach will see the betting line and that his team is favored by 40 points, so he will purposely win by more than 50 points to exceed expectations. That's how things are. I kid you not.

Almost every week in College football(American football) there are at least 10 to 12 or more good picks from all the games available.

It depends per person and per game. For me personally soccer is the sport i watched the most so i only make bets on soccer matches like the EUR0 2016.
Knowing which team plays and their history, injuries and most important opponent makes it relatively easy to bet on the right team. With 4 bets during EURO i've made .45 BTC.

Not bad from 'betting'

in my experience it doesn't matter which sports you are choosing for betting as long as you don't know that particular sport and the teams you are making a bet on.
but if you know a particular sport and "you like that sport" then you can have a much better chance of winning.

I think any kind of sport can be profitable if you are real follower of this sport ,  sure football has the higher number of followers , but some sports can be easier to predict , like vollyball and handball . In the last two years the differences between football club teams and nation teams have been reduced , whereas we watch nameless teams compete and sometimes beat greater teams , the same happen in the nation competitions , the last surprise was Wales in the Euro , this case causes a lot of losses for gamblers , but in other sports that rarely happen .
Not in the last 2 years only , in actually , from more than five years , we have watched a small teams win , you should not forget about Liecester which won the Premier league , also Atletico Madrid in Spain , PSG in France wasn't big team , that confirms that football map is changing and no longer guaranteed bet on any match .

Not to mention Cavs over GS. Lol. Underdog bets really won big from that scenario. But then again, this statistics can help at most as a guide. They don't offer assurance as to who would win etc.

Soccer offers a wider range of options. Tennis is by far my least favorite sport to bet on, yet I still sometimes bet on it. On the positive side, the odds are too volatile in that particular sport, fact that you may take advantage of (say, player A breaks player B service, player B's odds automatically increase a lot).

Baseball in my opinion is usually more predictable. I usually take a look at the statistics and they have been mostly appropriate predictors. A couple of nights ago I increased my (small) ETH bankroll by about 5x (sadly the next day I busted most of it playing holdem).

Short answer - the one you are good at predicting the score.

Longer answer - there is no ideal and 'the best' sport for sportbetting. You won't win every time and always profit. Upsets will happen from time to time.
If you are afraid of losing then play only with low odds bets. Your win/lose ratio will be probably very high then.

I think this is not like this that some sports are easier to win (bet) than other's,it depend's what on yourself actually.
If you know team's,score's,matches etc.you can predict it probably good but without knowledge about it,you wont be profitable without luck ahha Cheesy

i kinda thought the whole point of sport was that there was no way of knowing who was gonna win. obviously the odds are often stacked against the underdog if you know your stuff. personally i only bet on games that i've fixed. that's the future.
I think it can be determine by the team's performance before. So if you just compared it you'll notice some of the difference that make the other team lose and the other team advantage to win. That's why we have different analyst that give their point of views too like boxing analyst.

Well, i think all of kind sports have same chance to win and you're need luck too. Personally i think tennis, because i was made parlay  5 matchs in tennis with total odds 7, and won.
Yeah I agree with you I also ever gamble with the odds were great with over 10 games parlay and the odds around @5 I bet on a great player like Nadal, Federer, jokovic, etc, and the possibility of winning is very big because there was no draw or serie. only to lose or win

I also would suggest you tennis, cause in the end it mostly satys Djokovic and Rafa. So bet on one of them and your chances are gonna be like 50/50 cause of they are both same stron in that game.

you will find the various answers here because i think it all depends on your skill for predict the particular matches because some people like to placing their bets for soccer matches and some of them also prefer to bets for basketball or tennis matches because they have skill to do so however i personally betting for soccer matches are profitable than other sports because i do like to watching soccer matches

In think the esports game league of legends is fairly easy compared to what I have seen due to the high odds and limited choices. You may want to give that a try. There is a thread opened by a good tipster if you like.

The one you follow mostly, and you know mostly. Even that doesn't make sport betting 100 % safe, just to be clear, but for sure you have more chances if you know more about sport you betting, teams and players that play, their history.
I know people that bet on statistics, they don't follow sport games, they just take a look in statistics history and from that they chooses on what to bet.
I like to bet on football mostly, basketball and tennis sometimes, but I put bets on other sports when I see something interesting for my taste.
