I have always believed that a quality forecast in sports betting is extremely important. More precisely, all elements of the gaming system are important in their own way: risk management, discipline with emotion control and strategy. But if you cannot generate a quality forecast with a high percentage of success, then it is unlikely that emotion control and discipline will help you. Risk management and money management are also unlikely to help you win. All this will only allow you to lose your money a little slower, but will not help you win. The key factor in winning is a quality forecast. However, creating a quality forecast is always a problem of additional information and better processing of this information. Write what you think about a quality forecast, its role in a gaming system and the methods of its construction.

All I know is that gambling is a place to throw money away most of the time, it's not a place for us to have money all the time, but when luck strikes you,
you can suddenly have a lot of money, but not all the chances are yours or ours to always win.

Because most of the time when a gambler experiences this, they think that it's a job because they can generate profit through luck in their gambling at any casino.
This is just my observation.
We can partly agree with this. Making money in sports betting is extremely difficult. In my opinion, the percentage of successful people in the long term is extremely small, much less than in trading. I will say more - making money in gambling in the long term is somewhat similar to aerobatics. It requires great erudition, experience, knowledge, the presence of unique advantages over other participants. Making money in trading is easier. Few people manage to make money in the long term in sports betting. But still, if you do, then this is evidence of a fairly high intellect.
The percentage of people who are successful in sports betting in the long run is very small because luck is always involved in winning, only those who are successful are able to place big and small bets at the same time pick the right team and win. And while some people can make long term profits through sports betting, it is more likely that they combine skill, growing knowledge, discipline and sometimes a little luck and besides that the smart thing is to bet the right amount on the right team. So even though the winning percentage is smaller in the long run and even more losses than wins but when it does win, it can result in big wins.
