yeah my husband makes money at poker but it has made him hate playing it.

He calls it a grind and no longer fun. Sports he is up and down and I lose
most the time when I try and have fun and gamble (unless its vegas slots)

I have won the 2 times I have gone lol. (lucky)

Poker games, that too player against player is highly skill based, over gaining some experience with it, you can manage to make some profits like many gamblers explained here.
Poker games and sports betting are known for profitable in longer run. Because with your experience you become veteran gambler to predict accurately.

being a "veteran" has absolutely nothing to do with how accurate your bets will be, your success on sportsbooks depends on your research and ability to judge the value of the bet if the sportsbooks's given values are incorrect. by doing so, you can ensure yourself an edge and maintain +EV in the long run and profit.

Some casinos give you better odds if you have higher ranks.

For example in real casinos, slot machines range in house edge from 1-30%, and have max bet size. The casino could offer you to play with 1% house edge ,and say 10,000$ max bet limit if you are veteran, while only let you play 30% edge and 100$ bet limit if you are new.

theyre not truly better odds though, they just reduce the edge for you a little bit, and most of the time its not even enough to make that big of a difference. its just something thats there so people will play more and lose more if they want to obtain vip status or something. if the casino is offering it, chances are theyre making a lot more money off of it than youre winning from it.
