yes, this is the point!
the house edge plays a huge role when it comes to luck vs skill games
I think the same that knowing the game could give you an edge on sports betting
but probably a really small edge since there are so many variables, what do you think?
The edge depends on how skillful the gambler is, even a small advantage could already make a person profitable. In general, I consider sports betting as a skilled based type of game, but if a gambler does not have knowledge of the particular sports he is betting, or even just a small knowledge only, then it should not fall to the skilled based classification on his level.

Reminds of movie 21. That’s the name of movie, just 21! The professor select bright MIT students who are capable of solving maths at an amazing skill sets and teaches them how to play the blackjack. These maths guys are so clever that they can calculate in their back of mind what type of card and pair is going to be their in the deck of card. They study the whole thing while playing the game and keep winning huge amounts of money.
They fly to Las Vegas and loot the Casino like hell man. All of that based on the maths calculation. I am not sure if this is possible with the online casino but if it is then they are rich.
