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.
That is why I believe that only talented guys who are excellent and attentive to this hobby, and also are very passionate about the sport they bet on, can make a big profit from betting.
It turns out that in order to be in the plus from sports betting, many factors need to coincide, such as strong passion, knowledge of teams and interest in their internal relations, knowledge of statistics, etc. And that is why so few people profit from betting.
However, professionals can also have long losing streaks, it even depends on the fact that random dispersion affects them as in poker. I want to say that if a professional makes quality forecasts and even has a positive expected profit, he can face the fact that he simply will not be lucky and this can knock him out of it due to lack of bankroll. And if the professional can still get out of this, then the ordinary player who was just lucky up to this point will be crushed by this. For a long-term positive game, you need to take into account all the factors and cling to every straw to win in order to make a profit in the long run, this can still be an extremely small number of players, but they exist.
