I can see a bunch of mix opinions here. I have been betting for the last few years and have managed to make some decent money with that. It usually depends upon how you play and what you invest. Obviously, its not a beginner's game I would say. I have seen beginners coming in and investing huge money on the go. But I do not prefer that way. When I started, I just invested a small amount to see how it goes. I was fortunate enough to play safe and when that amount was multiplied a few times in a while, I used only that amount further you know. I have learned a lot of things this way and the overall experience has been pretty good for me
