What you mentioned can be applied not only to sports betting but also to trading. Analyzing information in trading, as well as calmness and compliance with risk management, will lead to profit in the long term. However, it is worth noting that both sports betting and trading have moments that are impossible to predict. Whether it be a player's injury that will affect the outcome of the match and, therefore, your bet, or whether it be the manipulation of major players in the market.
So here, do you mean that sports betting and the trading is in same way? Then I will disagree there because the think what I know about the betting it is only depends on the luck even that's not a matter how much you do analysis for your bet ultimately it will depend on the luck. We saw there lots of match where a strong team lose against a weak team.
On the other hand, if we talk about trading, then it does not depend only on luck. It depends on your analysis skills. And I think trading can be taken as a career, on the other hand, taking gambling as a career is nothing but foolish. And I think it's unreasonable to compare something that can't be considered a career to trading.
