If someone becomes successful in sports betting over the long run, would you say that’s because of luck or skill?
We can think that gamblers can not be lucky on every bet, or maybe more luck than bad luck is obtained. Success in getting profit from sports betting in the long term can not be said as luck. Bettors must have tricks in placing bets to avoid losses. Losses are definitely still felt, but if in the long term, they manage to get a profit, it means that bettors are quite successful with their betting methods.
So, my question is, are there few people you know in sports betting who have managed to maintain a consistent profit and became successful on the long run? I'm asking because I have not seen, the man I know that depends on betting, he really is not that successful because if he was it will definitely show on him. I know that bettors can have different strategy to use in betting and they can win and still experience lose simultaneously but to become extremely successful on the long run, I do think it's luck and skill combined.
