Hence, for me, skills and luck go hand in hand in sportsbetting.

Why are people have the skills, win today and win more but later see themselves losing? In anything we are doing, skills can be applied, but that does not guarantee any long term winning if it is gambling, especially when you are gambling against the casino or betting against the betting site. The only success I have seen and which can be skills and luck are people that won jackpot while betting but if it is gambling against the casino, it is just luck.

Luck plays a bigger role than anything else, while skill will help you make the right decision even though it doesn't always work. Because, no one will really win consistently in the long run. And maybe by using knowledge and skills in betting on percentages only gives a little advantage in winning when compared to losing, but the wins and losses you get depend on you in determining the size of the bet when betting and when the chances of winning are greater you will bet in large amounts and vice versa because it also includes skills after you do a good analysis. So even though in the long run winning is slightly superior to losing or even losing more if you have reliable skills in determining the size of the bet when betting you will get lucky.
