C'mon guys, the people saying sportsbetting is mostly luck are completely ridiculous. So you're saying somebody who doesn't watch sports at all and someone who is very knowledgeable on the subject have the same amount of chance of making profits in the long run? Not a chance. You can luckily pick winners sometimes, but eventually you'll get buried while the people that know what they're doing and who they're pick will clean up.
That's a pretty ridiculous statement, just like saying poker is luck.

A WSOSB wouldn't be the right format because of lack of visibility that bettors would have as mentioned in this thread (what can the cameras really do watching a bettor making a decision on what to bet?)
Rather, something like a mix of "Deal or No Deal" (hey, that's pure gambling just like scratching a scratchcard and winning a prize beating the average odds) and also something like we see on the NFL pre-game shows where the commentators discuss their picks and their record is for all to see.
I would think that if someone was serious to make a sports betting TV show, it'd have to be contest show between several known "analysts on TV" type of cappers making wagers with a fake balance of $10,000, playing maximum of xx games per day, and whoever is the highest at end of each week moves on to next round. It could be like a Round of 64 head-to-head format, and when the cappers choose their picks, they provide commentary. Then they show the results of the plays daily over a week's span and eliminating the loser of each matchup. Then people can follow how the winners have been making it through (and how losers just sucked, ha); best if the show try to have this show not taped by at least broadcasting the day before a NFL Sunday (uh, like the HBO's Inside the NFL shows). That way, more people would be interested to see someone's comments about a game that hasn't started.
