First and foremost, gambling is always depend on luck.
Second, the additional withdrawal fee, the commission odds, the rules e.g. wager amount to force you to gamble more.
Third, you're just not good in sport.

That's why most of bettors always lose, even though many people say it's a skill based game, but it's still not enough to give a higher guarantee the gambler will win and beat the house.

...The people with skill of certain game will get some guarantee win with last price and winning is most important by using the skills.

I could not understand what you exactly meant by this.
To me there is some skill within sport betting, it is mostly about luck, sure. But unlike gambling one has bettor have a small gap to analyze the possibilities, statistics and other factors in order to increase the chances of predicting an outcome.

i believe, there are few of these sportsbettors who can win in the long-term. but those sportsbettors somehow invested some of their winnings to businesses, so even if they go back to betting, they have other means to earn money, so they are not totally broke.

Have you actually met or heard about any real-life long-term profitable sports-bettors, or do you just believe they exist?
If the story is real, the very fact they they had chosen to take their capital and invest it somewhere else would indicate that they themselves didn't have much faith in their betting skills working long-term.

Agreed, and I'm not sure of it. There are chances of gamblers profitable with sports betting in the long run. This happens with gamblers who mostly analyse well and go with the right odds even if it is @1.1 whereas most of the sports betting gamblers in the long run tries to bet against the odds to profit big. This used to be lucky and the same doesn't happen all the time. This is the prime reason for loss of gamblers in the long term.

I don't think some sport bettor who is aiming to be profitable as much as possible would dare to go against the odds for the sake of scoring big; to me it sound rather like the fastest way to lose it all, instead an strategy to be profitable in a constant way with sport-betting.

When I think of a profitable bettor, it comes to mind someone who would rather to win smaller amounts going along the odds, instead against them. Just my opinion, of course.
