I think it's the easiest sport to beat, and has the most "professional" players. Two main reasons: (1) HUGE slates of games. It's much easier to pass on any specific game for a better opportunity. (2) Focus- one can select leagues or teams to track performance on whereas Vegas has so many games to worry about there's a much better chance that your numbers/analysis are better than theirs (which is virtually impossible to do in the NFL.)

a pro player can have success betting college hoops , no question , in my opinion the avg player does not beat the books in college hoops , they tend to play more games than they should and chase , there are fewer games in the nfl and nba to chase on
