What sport is the most honest for betting.?

Boxing?

Athletics

Golf

pandora prob not far off with athletics - but the simple way to judge this is basically just sports that don't encourage or have a great deal of betting on them.

They are more honest because no-one is really thinking of bothering to rig up any betting coups on them. Still might see players losing for other reasons though, e.g. feeling like it's a lesser event so using it as a warm up etc.

Skiing.

Anything Virtual.

dog racing.

Curling.

Sometimes i think they fix wrestling matches

And
Tennis players have return flights booked to return home before they are knocked out of certain competitions.

i'd say english premier league, it's not my fav betting medium however, probably because the amount of money available to ordinary players would be least bent

Friends of  `Snooker players like to bet on correct scores  and are very lucky

Tiddlewink championship.

International Rugby might be honest.

Racing,given horses are involved.

it would be interesting to find out what sport supplies the highest percentage of winning favs.

we might find a holy grail

I think some would claim the athletics one does quite well on that measure brass...

Not so many non-triers certainly at the big events.

AFL

i asked the robot what sport had the highest percentage of winning favs,and it waffled about the Buffalo bills.

30 percentage of horse  favs win every year

i think thats UK racing Fred,

60 plus percent of favs  place every year

Motor Sport would have a high percentage ,but thats a guess

motor sport has to be the most boring sport invented....cars running round the same track, with the driver in the best car winning, as long as he does not break down.

Motor Sport esp F1 can be bad cos if a team is 1-2 in a race they can make leader get took over for team mate if he is higher in overall standings

NFL must be up there at the top.

snooker   if i ran a bookies i'd employ a whole team to look out for suspicious snooker bets coming in. 

max bet 4 fooking pence.

i am mates with a golf pro who almost exclusively bets on NFL, and pretty successfully....topped up last few years on the winner throughout the season.....think he won about 6 grand...on the when all said and done.

he says lots of unpredictability,players left out, players rested before the playoffs,early season, always shock results, really need to know your stuff to bet on it.

when i say golf pro, i mean a golf club pro, not the real deal...haha, although he is still great, shoot 62s in his younger days..

I would say yes especially in the early stages 3 balls. Not in the latter stages though. Basically golf is an honest game. The best bet I ever had was Greg Norman Turnberry 1986 £10 @ 12/1. Jeez that was neary 40 years ago.

i had £300 on Norman at 16/1 in the US Masters that he blew to Faldo....no betfair in those days but from memory he was 1/16 at the start of the final round.

it was a very painful watch...Have had some great golf winning bets too, mind.

Conkers championships

In terms of honesty it must be virtual horses/dogs. The races are decided by a random number generator, with a small overround, say 102%.So there is no room for dishonesty here.

HOWEVER, as its a constant overound, with no skill element, the law of large numbers will make it certain that EVERY SINGLE player will lose in the long term!
