Your point with Matched Betting (Bonus Arbitrage) is valid but with my experience in betting over time, I've come to realise that there is no best strategy in betting. If a strategy works cool for you today doesn't mean tomorrow it will be same, its all about luck, although smart work also helps a great deal.
You are right, and every gambling games will depend on the luck itself so no matter you say you have the best strategy for playing gambling in any games, you still need the luck to win. The strategy itself needs to modify from time to time so your chance to win will bigger and at least, you can hope that you can win the games. I don't think that there is an easiest profitable betting strategy will available to use because you will never know when you can win in the gambling games.
Luck is important but we cannot depend on luck, luck will not be on our side forever, sometimes there are days that make us very unlucky. Strategy is still a mainstay in betting, although it is not always a strategy that works well, but at least we always develop our strategy in every gambling algorithm update.
