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.

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?

I think perspective works a lot here cause we all have different ideas based on how we go about it, just like you said sports betting is skill based amd that's based on your idelogo or experience but then on my side I can take it to be luck based game cause usually my chances of winning ain't bent on my skills but the fact that I tend to be lucky. But regardless sports betting it's both luckbased and skill based and that's because they work hand in hand to guarantee you a win.

It can be both, that's right. It's skill-based because sometimes we do win based on our own prediction and analysis of the possible results of the game. That means we are already expecting that to happen, which is why we bet on that. Now, there are times when a game won't go the flow that we wanted, and there are instances where we could still win our bets even if it didn't go our way initially. Examples of this are buzzer beaters and a comeback from a short period of time for the team we are betting for.

Luck will play a role, but we should not expect it will always happen to us. So, it's best if we can still analyze the game first, and the luck factor will be a bonus.
