As for sports betting, we will most likely lose in the long run, because we are playing against smart machines that calculate odds and will definitely not be left without money. Even if a player is well versed in sports events and understands a lot, it is not a fact that he will win in the end. One thing seems to me that it is enough to bet, but not very often, and to bet on what we really like and this business will not be boring for us, but fun. At least that's what I do. They also say that beginners are lucky, probably because they don’t have a lot of bets and in a small number of matches luck was simply on their side, but if they continue to play, then for sure their luck will leave them.
That is to be expected, but when compared to other casino games you can engage in, sport bets is one of the best you can play, as even if you cannot beat the house, at least you could reduce the edge it has over you in a significant fashion if you know what you are doing, which will allow you to bet on more matches and yet lose less money, which is more than what we can say about most other games you can play, so all in all it is still worth to me to gamble in this way, even if I know I cannot obtain any profits at all.
In general, the question is quite interesting about the player’s advantage, I did not devote much time to this, but it would be worth studying for every player. This will allow him to better understand which games to play. I certainly wouldn’t recommend poker to beginners because their expectations are much lower, but who knows, professional poker players used to be beginners too, so I can’t advise anyone not to play. I often bet on football and hockey, but I know that there are some professional betters who manage to make enough money on tennis, I don’t understand it at all. The only question is how long they will be able to win, because if tennis did not bring money to the casino, it would simply be excluded as a losing game.
