Patience is what most gamblers lack. Most of them want quick results that is why they result to gambling as the key for their success. They want to get rich quickly through gambling making them lose control when experiencing some losses.
A gambler that is playing without a strategy should not expect any return from his gambling habit, Luck will always be part of gambling but having a strategy can at least minimize their risk of losing money. Especially with sports betting, it has higher chance of winning compared to other games like slots or plinko if have a strategy like knowing how to analyze teams.
That's exactly what i said without any strategy, without patience, of course the outcome is a loss. Just like with slots, plinko, poker the same can happen in sports betting, especially when betting live on goals (don’t ask me how I know

). In any case, analyzing teams can help you about 70%, and the remaining 30% comes down to luck and patience.
Even if you have all those things, you need to remember that gambling is uncertain and everything can happen. But all those things can give you more chance to win especially if you have luck. Yes, analyzing will be important so you need to have that skill by learning more about that.
Sports betting and other gambling games based on skill will depend on your strategy. So if you can improve your skill better than others, you can analyze the match and place your bet. After that, you can hope your luck will come to you and give you win.
Even if everything is really uncertain its more better for gamblers to do somethings that can improve their gameplay since playing without doing anything is so boring and we might not gonna enjoy what we are betting or playing.
Using those things that can help us somehow increase our chance to win although everything is unsure but for sure those methods we learn thru experience and somewhere is else is somehow helpful to us. I'm not a fan on relying to much on luck like we didn't do anything for believing that everything goes out base on luck we get since for me I think I will lose more if that situation came up on my mind. That's why sometimes I do martingale and do a lot more research since somehow by doing this I enjoy gambling more by doing those set up.
