Honestly House edge will take you down at the end no matter how advance your tactic are....
But the story will be different if you're playing sport betting. If you have advance analisys, mostly you're gonna predict the exact result

To me I feel like I would have to put in a lot of time analising different teams if I were to start sports betting. I've never done that before. I feel like it would be time consuming to get to know all the teams and their statistics.

What kind of expression is this? How can be calculated something that if possible will eliminate the subject of those calculations? Are you in mind when tell this kind of things? How can be possible to be found the exact result of a match? What kind of mind have you to make such calculations and such predictions that can eradicate definitely the sport your are talking about? Because after your big analysis and the find of the EXACT result of match, have no meaning that this match be played. Repeat: have no meaning. The results is known by everyone. Every team know in which way will go the match and have no reason to play. The result is the aim of the play of the match. The results can be told by you. The RIGHT one. Every player will ask: why to play when we know the result from the "PREDICTOR", the "FINDER" and the "ONE". What else can be born from that your sick mind?

I think by exact result he meant win/loss/draw.. not EXACT result as in 0-2,6-4 n stuff.. I n2004al has a point if this is what he meant...for dice..you have to be lucky to win anything.. but its not the same for sports betting eventhough luck could be a factor..but skill can override the luck factor on a long term.. when I think of it.. I think even dice can be broken down with money management skills and stuff...but it is lot more mathematical and need lot more advanced knowledge compared to sports betting..

For long term gambling is not profitable. Gambling is just a fast money earning if you are lucky.
If you do it for a long term than at the end you will lose it all.
So beter play just sometimes.

no it wont, it may give you advantage if your betting
in sport game but analysing a game is very difficult you
have to see how every player do every practice on both
teams to see if which is in better shape, but remember even
if you know whos going to win the game may change depend
on how the players do in the actual game.

Unless you're a pro gambler you will not be profitable in the long run and even if you are a professional you still may end up broke in the end like many before you. It is so easy to get carried away in the gambling world. The post above that is kind of obvious but not very probable. The house edge is there for a reason.

It doesn't always have to be this way. Professionals have been playing for years, how would they make it their work to gamble if they didn't have any kind of strategy?
I believe it's a bit of luck and a bit of strategy and some good common sense on your shoulders, that will make you earn some profitable money by gambling.

I think even dice can be broken down with money management skills and stuff...but it is lot more mathematical and need lot more advanced knowledge compared to sports betting..

The words are the meaning that everyone understand from those and not what you wonder or imagine. If he tell that with "advance analisys (not analysis but analisys) he mostly (in the most of cases) can be predicted the EXACT RESULT this mean the exact result. Period. This is and can be the only meaning that has these words.

As for your thoughts about the "broken down of the dice with money management skills and stuff and the .... lot more mathematical.... and the need for lot more advanced knowledge ...." I think that you have no idea what are the skills and have no idea what is a skill and the management of the skills (while me have no idea what can be the stuff). But for sure (and I am sure about this) you have not and will have not any kind of idea about what is the "mathematical" and the "advanced knowledge". You have read these words in some publicity or have hear about those hearing some "important connoisseurs" from your preferred television program (or some movie) and you liked those and decided to use some times when will give some high thought. If used those make you felt more superior compared to the others and able to do impossible or very hard things.

I bet all the world if you or someone else will be able to realize such bullshit and absurdity (these word are very soft to determine the seriousness of the case) ONLY ONE TIME. To show how will do this and to realize. To show the "money management skills and stuff", the "mathematical" and the "advanced knowledge" written by you in your intelligent and insuperable post and then "broke down the dice". But must do exactly what you have written and not something else which can be meant by your mind. Let make e video and let put it in youtube. So everyone like me which mocks with such things will remain ashamed with our posts (like this).

True, I agree with you. Unless you're placing bets on dice. That's all scripted to make you lose and just win enough to keep playing and keep coming back, that's another thing I don't like to bet on dice.

But then again, it's a chance you take. Placing bets on dice isn't my favorite thing to do, but it's tempting to take a chance and roll the dice every now and then. But yes it can be profitable and in your favor if you keep up with your winnings and losses.

Gambling is a job? I think gambling cant be job.. because gambling is for gamblers and players, job is for employee's and worker's
So gambling will never be a job.. If you make it a job you will be bankrupt in the end and lost all your earnings..
So i think gambling is for fun. not a job..

I know online poker can be profitable in the long term as long as you're not playing against 'the house', so only if you're playing against other players.
But would this be considered gambling? I think in that case, the term 'game of skill' fits better.

Every one thinks like you but no one is making money from gambling for long term. So I feel gambling is good only for fun but not for making money.

Gambling, in the long term, would theoretically be a zero-sum activity.

In reality, based on random chance, it is a losing activity without a strategy, and even with a strategy it is iffy at best.

It is entirely possible to make a profit, with either luck, cheating, or an amazing strategy. However none of them are guaranteed to work, and some will work against you.

A hypothetical means of getting more out of a service is, for example, on a dice service, go for the lowest return, so something like x1.01, or approximately a 99% chance to win. Then bet low, such as 100 satoshis and keep rolling, until you hit a failed roll. The immediate next roll, bet enough to make the 100 satoshi back, e.i. 10,000, and it is nearly impossible to roll another failed number consecutively, unless the system is rigged in such a way as this would fail. That way, even though you are making on ~1 satoshi a roll, you won't technically lose anything unless you get the worlds worst roll twice in a row.

Poker is based on luck and skill, so it technically still is gambling, as it isn't 100% based on skill.

well any casino games will need luck, otherwise people know the trick can just come in and win away all the casino $$. so it still need luck, however poker really requires a lot of skills as compare to other games and this will bring the luck factor down by a lot.

Yepp there is no rules, even you make your own rules to keep you on the track it's bullshit. Your high tension to win more and more break it all.
Luck is a better reason to Make prokfit in a long run, the problem are how to get that lucky come everytime and sure there is no way to get it so just play randomly against casino house edge or would be better playing sportsbet that 70% required skills.

I doubt it's profitable for the majority of the gamblers out there.
Casino's and gamble sites are scripted to make the house win.
Or at least let the house make profits of off the gamblers.
In the long term, you'll lose more money then you'll be winning
