sports betting, skilled base or luck base?

[Mate2237]

Just like others say, sports betting is skill-based, but to say it is reliant on or purely based on skills is not true. After all, it is gambling. You still need luck, and luck will always play a role no matter what kind of gambling it is. If it's just purely based on skills, then those who are buying picks from those analysts should have made a lot by now, especially those analysts. Or they would have an almost perfect record, but it's not. An underdog, be it a team or a player, could still possibly upset their opponent.

luck is the most important fact when it comes to gambling and not skill I have not really seen any gambler who has been able to come up with a universally acceptable formula that helps in winning in gambling so if that is not possible then gambling and skill has nothing in common and so gambling is more of luck


Infact I am of the opinion that winning in gambling is solely from luck because no matter how one is skillful in gambling the factor of luck can't be put aside because winning on gambling is not something that is easy to come by as you will need luck and win in gambling this is the reason why many people are of the view that gambling should not be taken serious

I agree that sports betting requires specific skills, it can be categorized as skill-based games. However, it is true that we can't avoid the luck factor in sports betting. Yep, sometimes the results of the matches can be surprising, it is beyond of our analysis. For example in football matches, we often saw smaller teams can beat stronger teams. Also the teams with good performance recently can be defeated by the teams with bad performance in this season. It is something usual in football matches, I'm very sure that this also happens in other field of sports. Because of this, we can't totally say that sports betting purely rely on the skills. It surely needs both skills and luck!

When you only rely on luck you will just keep wasting money. I think we need both. This means that we need a statistical analysis of players or predictions to decide what actions to take. You must also use that, I'm sure everyone who bets on the ball will do an analysis to place bets. After the analysis, the next process is to hope for the luck of the analysis that we have done.

Gamblers that rely only on luck gamble for entertainment purposes unlike those that always take notes of statistical data. Although gamblers that analyze also depend on luck sometimes because research can't always give you a hundred percent accuracy. It's logically right to say that those who do proper analysis aim to make profit and gamblers that always rely on luck are ready to accept whatever outcomes that comes. I like the idea of strategic gambling but sometimes I think it's very exhausting.

You're right, the game is so broad that it can be developed by applying Strategies , Tactics, some things that we can give it , but in itself what we need to know is that luck is what really moves it , so when we play poker, luck is needed to be successful, except for sports betting where you can Win by knowing, a little more strategic and predictive knowledge is Applied.

You are not wrong but applying some strategies on your sport bet games will not make you to win your sport bet. However, what is really necessary to win during gambling is actually the luck aspect because without it there's no damn thing a gambler could do that will make them win. Am saying this because sometimes we spend a lot of time trying to figure out good strategies for sport bets but after all, we still lose the bet.

Luck is always what is needed to win in any game, although strategic approach can increase your chances of luck to be pronounced, but not in all games, poker is pourly luck based and for sure, alot of us have known that fact, but in games like sport most expecially football alot of analysis go into it and you can at least arrive at a near winning predictions.

In football, you can make a possible prediction that when two teams play against each other, which team is more likely to win can be understood by looking at their performance. However, this cannot be guaranteed because many times it is seen that despite a good team performing very well, it falls behind at the last minute for some reason and loses the match. And then you will definitely lose your bet. So sports betting cannot be called a completely skill-based gambling. Luck is definitely very important here. However, since there are many things that can be predicted here, it cannot be said that it is completely luck-based. Both luck and skill are required for sports betting.

It's very difficult to say sports betting is completely based on skill, of course because I think luck also plays an important role. A combination of the two would be something good and seem more reasonable, that's because we never know what will be the outcome of each match. Even if a team is truly a favorite, our bets may still be wrong because they draw or lose unexpectedly.

I don't understand why OP only gave two options in voting, there should be a combination of luck and skill. Both are needed in every bet, it is really impossible to separate one of them in my opinion.

[Youngrebel]

Sports betting can't be solely because of your skills neither is it solely of luck. It is just like a coin with both sides. You need skills in terms of analysing the various teams capabilities judging based on previous match experiences, the abilities of the players as well as the number of good players in the team. All these and many more needs skills to predict or work with. On the other hand luck could also come in. In the sense that someone can do all the predictions with his good predicting skills and the table would still turn the other way around for him. Luck could shine on the less powerful team and they become winners for the day. In essence both luck and skills is needed and will be appreciated at a pont

My personal take on this one is that sports betting is that it’s skill-based...

I think if I just work on my skills, I can turn a profit eventually, yep, "eventually" is the trick word here. But after more than five years of sports betting, I'm still not making money. Now I'm wondering: is sports betting really about skill, or is it just luck? If it's about skill, maybe I just haven't got what it takes, and I'm just riding on luck.

You've been on track for five whole years and you think somehow, you don't still have the skills good enough to win and make profit? You know how long we're talking about here? That's almost forever dude... Lmao!
Joking apart, this doesn't feel right. What then do you consider as your primary experience in sport betting ever since you started your journey? Losses upon losses? How have you been able to retain since then?

Based on your experience, is it primarily luck, or do you still believe it’s skill-based, even if you haven't proven yourself yet?

In the pool, we have more people voting on skills, but primarily like you said, luck has it.

That's also is my thought in the personal point of view, but I am getting surprise that in the poll there is more vote for that sports bet is skill based.
Even it is true that for doing a good analysis on sports betting a person must should be well known about that is sports and as well that rules of that sports and also the team and the players and then he  will be able to made good prediction and here we were assuming that these are his skills but we have to also remember that these skill would going to be able to success only when the luck will favour to us. Otherwise, we also see multiple matches in many days that the strongest team losing against weastest team.

What do you think about this topic?

I agree with you that sports betting is a combination of skill and luck. I have also been betting on sports for a few years now and I still haven't had much success... maybe it's because I'm a very fearful bettor, I don't take many risks and consequently I miss out on many opportunities, but I also play for fun and not for money, so I feel better this way than taking more risks and losing money that I shouldn't.

But back to your question... of course luck plays an important role in the outcome of sporting events, but it is also essential to have a good understanding of the sports, teams and players to make informed decisions, managing your bankroll, setting limits and avoiding impulsive bets is also crucial to long-term success.

In my opinion, success in sports betting depends on a combination of skill, analysis and luck and it is important to have a dose of luck for things to go your way, but it is also essential to develop skills and strategies that increase the chances of success.

With time and experience, it is possible to develop skills and strategies that increase the chances of success, but it is also important to recognize that luck will always be present... I think the difference really lies in how much we are willing to risk, because those who risk more have a greater chance of winning, but doing so in a conscious and intelligent way is for the few.

There is a criterion that I take as a basis to make a sports bet, and that is if I have doubts regarding a prediction or a bet I prefer not to make it, but if I am completely sure that I will have a high possibility of winning then I do it, the reason is simple, sometimes in sports extraordinary events occur that we call luck, but it is on few occasions, but it is present, but in itself what is known, the research and the technical elements are a guarantee that you will win.

As sport bettors, we all have our criterias and we try as much as possible to follow that criteria as much as we can and this is the reason why we see that sport bet at least have higher percentage of winners compared to other games that their data and statistics are not available for public analysis before bettors stake on them or engage with those games, and that is the reason, there is high loses in those games and that were luck based comes in, but when we talking about sports betting, there are always a chance that your skills and analysis will increase your winnings potential almost %50 at some point.

First of all, it should be remembered that gambling cannot be considered a means of earning money. Gambling should always be considered as entertainment. However, betting on sports and winning is not based on luck, it depends on skill and strategy. If a person understands sports very well and can analyze sports well, then that person can bet on sports and win a lot. You have been betting on sports for five years and are not able to win. I would say that you do not have much experience in sports and do not have strategy. You are not able to analyze well, which is why you are not able to win from betting on sports. I bet on sports and because I have a little better analysis and skill about sports, I can win in sports betting. My losses are very small.

Yea, upset may happen and those who managed to bet in the right timing they may able to enjoy that huge amount of profits, though not always and in a usual way the chance or the edge of those heavy favorites will take place, just deal with your research and put your bet where you think winning may have a better weigth to take place, afterall there's assurance and it's always with your good decision making that important, there's always a win and lose as you are inside gambling no guarantee at all.

[Fuso.hp]

You are undoubtedly right in your opinion and I support your opinion 100%. The most important thing in sports betting is to use your skills and have an idea about the sport. In sports, you can get an idea about which team is more likely to win or which team is more likely to lose, but based on your skills and experience.
Now if I have enough knowledge about different sports, then when a game is held between two opponents, then considering the two opponents, we can put one team ahead, this is the use of my skills. But if I do not have an idea about all these things and bet on any team depending on luck and if the team I bet on is relatively weak, then I will lose in that bet. So we have to get out of depending on luck and develop our own skills and try to get a more adequate idea about sports.

Almost always this happens, the one who hopes for luck will lose money, and even if you are lucky enough to win several times, then in the long game you will still lose everything you managed to win. Rarely does anyone manage to just stop when he is lucky to win for the first time, then a feeling of euphoria appears and the player will believe that he can be lucky again. In betting, you also need luck, but in addition to this, experience is also very important, in order to successfully place bets you need to be well acquainted with the championships and teams.

Something that I have always done is that when I make a bet I have my decision-making power very clear, that is to say, I am a very confident person in these acts because I trust in what I know and in the analysis that I do when it comes to it, I mostly bet on Football, and in the case that I lose it is something that I accept, but even so it is a fortuitous event that leaves me with a loss of money , but even so I do not Regret what I bet, there is no type of retraction on my part , that is why security with money is key for Everything.
