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?
Sports betting requires skill-based may be true. Because in sports betting we can involve statistical data analysis and understanding of the team or player. We can analyze the conditions and skills of the players. So that analysis, sports knowledge and research can increase the chances of winning in sports betting. But requiring luck-based is still relied on in sports betting and is also very necessary and even the most decisive victory. Because in sports betting a strong team or one with a higher percentage of superiority does not necessarily win. Moreover, sometimes in some sports there is also a score setting so that skill-based no longer affects. So in my opinion sports betting requires 50% skill-based and 50% luck-based.
I will say gambling is more of luck be it skilled base game or pure luck based game. This is why you see that there's no professional in gambling because without luck, you cannot win your bet with all your research and analysis. Predicting the future is the hardest thing to do, because you cannot use past result as a guarantee to judge the future
