Best and worst trading sports in my experience

[dave nz]

To trade a profit in live betting, you want big swings in a players/teams fortunes duiring the course of the match/game. The bigger the swings and the more swings, the better.

The following list is based only on sports I trade on and my experience of doing it for approximately 3 years. Note, certainly by no means am I saying the best sports are foolproof or the worst sports not worth trading. There is no sure fire blueprint for success and there are always exceptions for every rule. Again, its based on my 3 years of doing it, nothing more, nothing less.

Top sports :

*Mens tennis. But mainly at grand slams, when its best of five sets. This gives you much more scope than best of 3 set matches.

*Basketball. Most leagues where there is decent parity. The sport is very streaky in nature and full of runs, perfect for trading.

*Rugby union. Especially in the games which are played in conditions and circumstances where the game will be high scoring.

Worst sports :

*NRL rugby league. On a whole not many games, have had big swings the last 3 years.

*AFL Aussie Rules. Comes back to parity, recently there has been very little.


Sports not mentioned I generally have a neutral opinion on for trading.
