Can you really master sports betting, or is it still all luck?

Well, there's no doubt that luck plays it's role in different forms of gambling whether sports betting or whatsoever but all I can say is that people who pay attention to different sports have more advantages than those who doesn't but are just gambling to try their luck, well their luck might be on the bright side sometimes but they'll be less luckier and less strategic too than those fans of different sports activities, viewing those sport activities would help you understand the game, rules and also aid you in being more strategic in picking better options to bet on.

I can say for sure that it’s absolutely possible to become a true master of sports betting, you just need to go beyond pre-match bets or picking a single team. It requires more complex and extensive analytical work, building intricate systems of different bets to always have a backup option in case of a loss. But to me, that seems way too complicated, although I’ve seen other players do it successfully.

It's not as easy as it seems. Becoming a betting expert isn't just about analytical skills; bankroll management and the size of your capital are also factors. Professionals place bets as a way to make money, unlike those of us who gamble just for fun. Furthermore, what percentage of sports bettors are professional? The percentage is likely very small, perhaps around 1/2%, and it takes years to achieve the desire or goal of becoming a professional gambler.
And another factor in failure: even if you've already made your picks pre-match and, say, your odds are 90%, there are other factors you can't predict. This is where luck comes into play.

OP: Obviously, experience makes you better, which doesn't mean you'll always make a profit; it's relative. Decisions based on that experience only allow you to be consistent over the long term by +1x. That's what you need to be a winner

You can master it but you'll still have a lot of bad times so it's not going to except us if the days are bad and we're on a losing streak.
But gaining more experience, understanding more with the games that you're betting. This is going to make you exceptional.
I advice bettors to stick to the games or sports that they really are good at so that the won't mess and mix the time of it if they want to master it.
Just like what the masters are telling to practice and focus.

I’ve always wondered if sports betting can actually be learned the same way you develop skills in poker or trading. Some bettors claim they’ve improved over time , studying player stats, team form, odds movement, and even learning how to manage their bankroll properly.

But others still say it doesn’t matter how much research you do, because one bad call, injury, or last-minute play can ruin everything. So is it really a skill, or just controlled gambling that gives you the illusion of strategy?

What’s your personal experience? Do you feel you’ve gotten better with time, or is it still just luck deciding the outcome in the end?

It is important to gain experience in sports. Those who have gained experience in sports and have participated in sports betting with experience can achieve a lot of success in gambling. Betting on the outcome depends entirely on luck, moreover, betting on sports does not always depend on luck, maybe at some point the outcome of the match changes which is considered completely unimaginable. But no matter what anyone says, I will always say that those who have experience in sports can definitely achieve good success in sports betting and winning can be ensured through good betting analysis, but betting on sports should not be left to guesswork and luck. I could have analyzed sports before, but now I can analyze better because I spend most of my free time in sports due to which I have experience about each player and I have experience about the team.

I’ve always wondered if sports betting can actually be learned the same way ...

If you're really good at a particular sport, then you need to focus on that particular sport, because the chance that your prediction will be correct is much higher than where you don't even know the rules. But if you can get inside information about the physical condition of the players before the match, then the chances of success will be even higher.
