NASCAR has the most caught ones I think. Seems like people get busted for gaming the system at a high frequency

I would assume the college ranks. One because of the amount of student athletes. Two because of some of the lame rules the NCAA has. Three because the depth of some of these rules. Maybe not everyone maliciously breaks the rules, but I'd say you would have some missteps

I don't think the 'pure numbers' are that far apart. I may lean towards College Coaches being the larger group.

MLB - 30 teams X 40 man rosters = 1200 players.....roughly.

College Coaches - this is too hard for me, that includes every college and every sport IMO. JUCO to NAIA to NCAA, lacrosse to volleyball to football and basketball, and not just head coaches. That is one hell of a lot of coaches I would think.

Maybe I am taking the comment to literally and he just means major sports, major schools, but to me that group is how I described above.

There was a really good article on CNNSI (I think) a few years back about college basketball and the "amazing" % of games (particularily featuring low-tier teams) that cover the spread. I may have posted it in one of the NCAA basketball threads here, but I'll try dig it out again.

I don't think there's much if any of that kind of cheating.
