It can be classified as responsible gambling if you are in control of your gambling habit. I mean, if you carefully analyze your bets and assess both your money and time and are still doing a good balance of your time, then yes, it can be called responsible gambling, especially if you are betting on sports that you fully understand and can utilize the chances of winning.
Though there's no accurate outcome or accurate prediction, the chance is good if you know the game and the player or fighter that's playing.
By gambling responsibly, we don't need to worry that later we will become addicted to gambling because we can still balance time, money, and other activities properly to enjoy gambling still. And that's exactly what we should do so that we can really think of gambling as entertainment and won't get addicted to gambling. We can gamble whenever we want and stop before it's too late.
And it's also okay if we can't win because we know that gambling is just a game and we depend on luck. While luck cannot come too often, and without us being able to predict it, it is better for us just to enjoy gambling as it should be and let luck come to us.
The fact is that we can play:
1) periodically, for example on weekends. But then it is important that this does not happen all the time, because as they say, "the habit is formed from the third time." Therefore, I suggest playing two weekends and then taking a mandatory break. So the probability of getting an obsessive desire to play will be minimal.
2) Spontaneously. In this case, in order to control yourself, you need to allocate yourself a certain amount of deposit and not go beyond it for a certain period. For example, to make it $200 a month. Here everyone will individually come up with a deposit amount based on their earnings and capabilities.
