Yesterday at a drinks party a few of us were discussing sports exchange betting etc... and a question which created the most heated debate was "Which sport is the favourite most likely to win ?".

Tennis and Rugby got the most votes but I said I would post on this forum and report back on my findings.

Handball, then Boxing.
Rugby (union) is up there... Tennis no more than football

Horse racing , tennis then soccer according to betfairs market figures per annum though it depends how and where you apply the survey really as if all football fans bet then there market would be biggest as in the uk soccer is king and fully promoted by all television companies unlike the third most popular sport greyhound racing according to attendances at venues.

Watching television is actually the favorite sport of suburban man post 20th century, yawn.

bff,

Not the most favourite sport...think fishing/angling might sneak that one...."In which sport do the favourites win more often".

Christ this forum is like pulling teeth,some people seem to think the question is,Whats the most favourite sport?,others think its, IN what sport is the favourite most likely to win?And you guys want to win money at this the most difficult task to hand?,unlike a handbook to successfully enable you to build a working car,this subject has no relible handbook!!.Suggest you all give up!!!
