My personal take on this one is that sports betting is that it’s skill-based...

I think if I just work on my skills, I can turn a profit eventually, yep, "eventually" is the trick word here. But after more than five years of sports betting, I'm still not making money. Now I'm wondering: is sports betting really about skill, or is it just luck? If it's about skill, maybe I just haven't got what it takes, and I'm just riding on luck.

What do you think about this topic?

Based on your experience, is it primarily luck, or do you still believe it’s skill-based, even if you haven't proven yourself yet?

Generally, betting on a game is skill based and you can’t be able to come up with a better explanation to this to disapprove it of not being a luck based game. You are yet to make money from it because the luck is yet to shine on you. Even when you have the skills, let’s say you know very well teams that has a loser tendency to win a game than the other one, that doesn’t mean you will win any game you predicted to that gives such team a chance to win. The probability of your prediction winning hs lesser odds than your prediction of probability of now winning, so in some games, some people try their luck to give a good chance to teams that are less privileged to win in order to win big. So it is all based on luck and no strategy works for it to compare it to a skill tht one can apply at anytime.
