Gambling is a game of luck, be it sports betting or casinos games, I see a lot of people paying for 2 odds or 1.50 odds from so called betting experts forgetting that these people are not robots, anyone that gives you a prediction and tells you it 100 percent accurate is false. Anyone going into sports betting should understand football and betting strategies, it's better to rely on what you know than
Just paying for a prediction that is not guaranteed.
Even robots don't make 100% accurate predictions. Like you said, anyone going into sports betting should just learn the tactics and strategies of sports games and rely on what they know. Then they will be good. It's even simple to make predictions as long as the gambler pays attention to sports fixtures and knows the performance of clubs, the ability of players, etc.
There's AI, or ChatGPT for example, but even if this AI knows all the information and stats of the opposing teams, it still cannot guarantee to predict the winner. Sports betting is fun, but we still face the reality that it's hard to win in gambling. I didn't say we can't win because that is not true, it's just hard but not impossible. Of course, it can be learned, especially if we know how to control our emotions. We can learn from our mistakes based on experience, and eventually, we will be able to develop our skills and maybe one day become professional sports bettors.
You are making a good point and it's more reason why I do not buy the idea of AIs in betting as many would think it would be better, there is nothing they would do that you can't do for yourselves. But AIs will make it easier for you as they can conclude on the preferred choices in a matter of seconds while it may take you several minutes to do. Aside from that, they can not do better than you as you also have access to the needed information online as well if you have the confidence.
As for the emotion, yes, they are better than us in that regard by nature, but I do not see a serious bettor who will be emotional about their options, especially in sports betting. There should only be a reasonable decision after the wide knowledge about the teams to be bet. Although I can't say of those who will be gambling the live matches, they could be emotional, which is why I avoid it. At the same time, I don't know what AIs can do better in this regard because the risk will always be high in live matches and so is the luck dependence.
