If someone becomes successful in sports betting over the long run, would you say that’s because of luck or skill?
There’s been a debate in the forum, some believe that gambling success is purely luck, that no real skill is involved, and that it’s not something to take seriously because eventually, you’ll lose. But there are bettors who have consistently made profit and proven they can win in the long run, believe it or not.
So the question is, can we still call that luck? Or is that already skill at work?
I'd say both, skill and luck are both involved. But then I give skill an 60% because even though it's a delicate balance between luck and skill, having skills in the game can help increase your chances of winning. A Gambler needs both to keep winning in a long run and I honestly think that as gambler these two factors (skill and luck) needs each other as they can not work separately
and you can't have one without the other and skill remains the backbone.
