this reminds me of the old saying: "do you want to be right or do you want to make money?"
different ways to approach the world
maybe its better to approach betting as a job than as a pure entertainment activity if you want to win on the long run
Well, that saying perfectly suits with the lawyers lol, not much for gambling or sports betting.
Threating gambling as a regular job might never be easy, it'll give you unstable income, sometimes you won't get anything yet you've even lost money for it.
The only time I consider gambling as a regular job is when you're get paid to play like poker tournaments or any other gambling tournaments.
Only some gamblers can use gambling as a regular job, while the rest will fail in the middle of their journey. It is hard to use betting as a job because that needs more knowledge than regular people who bet. If you can get paid by playing poker tournaments, then you do not risk anything since you only need to use your skills, no matter what the result is in the end. But everything related to gambling will have a risk. Whether that risk is big or small, you will still get that risk. The only thing that makes it different is how good you can manage the risk.
