While sports in itself is skill based, betting on sports is a different ball game. I still maintain that gambling in itself generally is dependent on luck, whether it's slot or sports. Athletes may put in their best to win but results don't always turn out as planned. We get to find under dogs or minors take the shine off favourites, isn't it? That's the luck thing.

That's exactly what I think, and I think it makes perfect sense, and it's been proven. It's not uncommon to see much stronger favorite teams lose to weaker teams. This even happens when the favored team is playing at home. It's truly embarrassing, and many gamblers have certainly lost, as most gamblers would bet on the stronger team. But that's normal, and that's how luck works for everyone.

This clearly means that sports betting isn't just about skill; it's just one of several contributing factors to winning. Sports betting is a game that combines skill and luck to produce wins.
