When I was new to gambling, I tended to look for a pattern to win. In fact, I lost a lot of money over time before I finally figured out that what I was looking for is impossible to achieve. I realized in the end that as long as there's a house edge, regardless of its size, I will never win in the long run. It became a challenge for me in the past, but I'm happy to have finally learned. Although I still gamble on the games I played before, now I'm just doing it for fun.

More so, I also realized that if I want to be long-term successful in gambling, I should choose a game to focus on, and that should fall into the category of skilled-based games. Currently, I'm more focus in sports, and I'm sure there are a lot of bettors here who are doing the same and would agree that sports betting belong to the skilled based games.

As long as you still enjoy the gambling you're doing, it doesn't seem to matter. Because I think there is no other reason to start gambling, except to seek a thrill and pleasure, not to make a profit or just multiply the wealth we have. Keep in mind that gambling is basically an activity that has a high risk, and even if you manage to win, this is only temporary, so according to my reasoning it is impossible if someone is able to generate long-term profits from gambling or from a number of bets placed, this is an impossible thing because of the superiority of the house or gambling operator.

Focusing on a skill-based gambling game, such as sports betting, might be a better approach. But you must not forget that luck plays a significant role in the gambler's winnings, and that is regardless of what kind of gambling he plays, including sports betting. and we must be able to recognize this limitation and be able to limit the gambling that is done, so that we are not only a lucky bettor, but also a responsible bettor / gambler.
