In as much as you are right, it's still very much impotant we also know that different types of games in gambling come with different levels of luck, we have games that outcome is completely based on how lucky or not the player is, while we have other games where outcome is based on part knowledge and part luck, example is sports betting, your level of knowledge in sports contributes greatly to the number of bets you will win, as well as luck.
While there are other games where outcome is based your skill and luck.
So aside slot and some casino games which are completely luck based, knowledge and skill can still be used to win games, this is not outsmarting luck anyway, since luck is still needed regardless of a gambler's level of expertise.
It is not that hard to check this. You just need to play each of these games for a while and you will be able to understand, first of all, how lucky you are and how much luck is on your side in games where everything depends on it. And if people say it is easier to win in betting, it does not mean that every player will be able to do it. Just like with slots, in betting you need to play for some time, play in certain leagues, follow a certain strategy to understand whether you can actually make money in betting or not. Because in reality, it is also not that simple, although I agree that betting gives you better chances to win if you are a good analyst and know how to use your knowledge properly.
Yes, that's why I like bets more, and I practically don't play slots, because the luck factor is too high there. In general, in essence, I try to do everything possible that depends on me to tilt my chances for a higher win. I start with analytics and choosing matches that interest me, and end with controlling my bankroll and adjusting my strategies. I am convinced that luck cannot be outwitted in any way, you have to take it for granted, accordingly my emotions are reduced, I think this is my advantage in contrast to many other players who are too sensitive to emotions from gambling.
