| Rank | Sport | Record | Decisions | Profiles | Win rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | CFL | 60-52-0 | 112 | 7 | 53.6% |
| #2 | WNBA | 200-180-0 | 380 | 17 | 52.6% |
| #3 | NCAA football | 152-139-2 | 291 | 43 | 52.2% |
| #4 | UFC | 149-156-1 | 305 | 22 | 48.9% |
| #5 | MLB | 1015-1185-25 | 2,200 | 31 | 46.1% |
CFL recorded the highest qualifying hit rate at 60-52, or 53.6%. MLS finished 26-22, but did not clear the complete participation gate. NCAA football covers the regular-season Week Zero opening; NFL results in this window are preseason results.
Highest qualifying rate
CFL spreads finished 57.4% across 54 decisions. Totals went 21-17, or 55.3%, across 38. The sport result is supported, but the individual podcast-market samples become too small for a strong three-show ranking.
Deepest supported drill-down
WNBA picks finished 200-180 overall. Player props posted the highest market rate at 21-13, but spreads provided the stronger sample: 74-59 across 133 decisions.
These three profiles led the sample-adjusted WNBA spread board among shows with at least 10 decisions. The page displays ordinary hit rate while the ordering also gives larger samples more weight.

| Rank | Podcast profile | Record | Decisions | Win rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Play Me or Fade Me | 14-7-0 | 21 | 66.7% |
| #2 | Sports Gambling Podcast Network | 15-9-0 | 24 | 62.5% |
| #3 | Basketball Picks | 12-8-0 | 20 | 60.0% |
WNBA player props also finished 21-13 across 34 decisions. That is a useful secondary observation, but it is a smaller market sample than the spread board.
Why golf breaks a win-rate-only scoreboard
Golf supplied 664 decisions, the second-largest sport sample behind MLB. Its moneyline category went 13-410, or 3.1%, while other golf markets went 66-159, or 29.3%. Golf moneylines often contain outright-style long shots, so their hit rates are not comparable to standard-price spreads or totals. Without verified prices and standardized stakes, this report cannot calculate profitability or ROI.
