Sports betting is a game of knowledge and luck, and the row that knowledge plays is that it greatly increases our chances of winning our bets, while luck on the other hand plays a roll of making us winners indeed.
You don’t have to mix luck and skills, maybe just focus on what you can control, because luck is unpredictable.
Keep a record of your performance if you want to go "PRO". This will help you see if you’re profitable in the long term. In sports betting, a 53% win rate is already enough to be considered successful. At that point, it’s not about being lucky anymore but it’s about having the skills to hit that passing grade.
Luck only plays a role in the short term. For a long-term approach, you need to be realistic and base your strategy on consistent effort and analysis.
