Frankly, sportsbetting is hard. We can do analysis on a game whether a team will win or not but the bookie for sure has the more experienced people behind it to make the odds is a bit harder for us to pick. As I see in my real life, there are many people lose their money in sportsbetting just like in any other type of gambling.
No, it isnt hard it is worthless. You better join trading or investing or any other job to earn money for you and for your family. Things are not that much problematic as we have made them. anybody who is good at guessing and have got confidence, and he is not earning from any source, so he becomes stupid and get in this sports betting and ruin his life and that of his family too.
Gambling shouldn't be considered as a way of making money in the first place and should be treated as a way of entertainment at the most. If you consider entertainment worthless, then that's your own opinion. Trading and investing can also be extremely risky, especially trading in crypto markets, and it takes lots of time and experience (and also luck!) to make a living off of it. Still better than gambling, but don't assume or let somebody tell you it's easy by any means either.
I mainly bet on sports and esports because they make matches much more interesting to watch as you actually have an interest in your team winning, for example, and it's hard to find other activities that get your heart racing the same way as in betting. It's perfectly fine if you're a responsible gambler and don't excessively spend money you can't afford into gambling, as it is with any other game.
