Would you really put time and effort into studying sports betting?

[boyptc]

If you truly believe it’s possible to succeed in the long run, then you already know there’s no such thing as overnight success here. It takes time, discipline, and a lot of losing before you even start figuring things out.

So the real question is, would you actually study it, track bets, manage bankroll, learn odds and lines?
Or do you think it’s all a waste of time because, in the end, most of us still lose anyway?

Well, let's analyze it and as if it's me.

If I believe truly that I can be successful in the long run, I'll definitely going to spend time learning it. While people think that it's going to be nothing, I think that's an interesting part when they don't like it but me, I'm starting to like it.

That's lesser people in it and believes in it and so that makes it more interesting. I can always start somewhere if I fail in that belief.

And with all of the time that I'll exert in it, while it cannot be taken back. That's part of the journey that I shall enjoy.

That is true that you would get more exposed to gambling based on your level of experience which also teaches beginners deeply that what they thought about the flexibilities to win in gambling is not just as thought when they finally came in.
So those with the motive of becoming rich overnight in gambling could actually attest to it that it is not what they expected they gets when they begin to face the risk of (trying your luck) to win.
However, we can still give it a benefit of possibilities that one story of becoming rich can happen overnight but that is if only the player is overnight "luckily" hits the jackpot on first time trial.
We never can tell, gambling is a game of possibilities and impossibilities. You just have to take risks you can afford.

It's not a waste of time mate, all those things are the main reason why sport betting is different from slot or gambling games. Sport betting still have more opportunities of winning than that of gambling, so studying it and tracking bet and managing bankroll are all a stratito minimize loses and increase chances of wining big. So it is not bad.

It is not a complete waste of time, as it is possible to become one of the small percentage of people who can profit in the long term within the betting market. But studying and using one's time and money to learn does not guarantee anything.

In my personal case, I don't think I am in a position in which I could risk so much time and money in order to see if ai can become a professional bettor, sadly I find myself in a quite vulnerable social and economical position.

Also, because of common sense I could not recommend anyone to risk it, for obvious reasons.

Sports betting is not comparable to slots and other pure gambling games where all is left to chance and the house has a huge advantage. Knowledge is a factor in sports betting. Researching in teams, formation, injuries, movement of odds and bankroll management will not guarantee any profits but will certainly help in minimizing your unnecessary losses. Tracking bets too will have you more disciplined and will indicate what strategies work and what do not. Naturally, the majority of bettors also lose in the long term, primarily because they do not pay attention to such fundamentals. It is not wasting time and effort in learning-it is the only means of handing yourself a fighting chance, although not so prompt and so limited as to be successful.

Yes, i would. Studying the sport betting is the thing that will help us to keep sustain for long term. There are numerous metricts that affected the output.  These metrics often changed depending on what kind of games that will come. When we're encountering a big team vs small team game, it's easy to study it without a lot of effort. yet it's getting opposite when it comes to the big game. It needs more effort in order to get accurate bet that gives us greater chance to win.

I know in realty, many took it easy by betting without seeing the metrics involved in the game, but even a home/away game factor can also determine the outcome. So whether it's small or big games, studying it has always been important.

Choice to learn sports betting turns harmless hobby into money stress, but in same way as only with time spent on hobby will learning be worth it. Studies have found out that there is only about 3-5 percent of long term winning bettors among people who bet, because of so-called house advantage that causes bettor to win at least 52.4 percent of bets to not lose money.

Most will not get money in long term but thinking behind market like finding how prices are mistaken or working out Likely Value, is enjoyable brain test that provides very helpful lessons of how to handle risks and self control. But you must consider wasted time because 20 hours per week of betting lists is time misuse, which does not mostly pay as well as learning of new work skill. So I believe, it is time waste when you are simply in search of money but when you are someone who loves numbers and searching tiny math advantages, it can be excellent way of testing your skills to world.

Yes, if you know at the young age that this could be a good career then why not? For sure most of us started to follow our favorite sports and might have been at some point. And then maybe realized that it's possible to make a lot of money so we might go and study even further.

I don't think that it will be a waste of time? Why will it be when you are making profits? And others might consider it as easy money? Or a career as we say because there could be individuals that are really gifted and make sports betting their main career.

Thats possible I think for those with convictions. For me, sports betting is mainly for fun while supporting my favorites team and in the game and not something I’m trying to master or turn into long term income. I enjoy placing small bets to make games more exciting, without the pressure of tracking every stat or chasing profits. Once it stops being entertainment and starts feeling like work, that’s when I know I’m doing it wrong.

[Grace333]

There’s a popular saying stick your mouth where you put your money, it’ll interest me to learn more about betting, if there’s a chance. Most of us play gamble or betting for fun, to support our team and cheer them, along the line others under desperation turn it to a source of income. In that case, putting more effort to study and get knowledge about betting is nice approach to profit.
Others might see it as waste of time to give time to studying sport betting because they think it relies on luck. But then, dey accumulate so many games in one slip….lol. Don’t worry mate, keep booking those numerous game, maybe one day, luck will shine on you.

Even if you make out time and do all possible research it won't going to work out just like that because there's no skill or strategy that can easily guarantee you winnings in gambling.

It has been said several times here that gambling involves losses than winnings so it's not easy to make it through gambling, rather we should just view it as an entertainment or having fun with the amount that wouldn't affect you negatively after the outcome doesn't work in your favor. Because it is easy to let go when you bet with small amount than bigger amount.

[Mr_Brilliant$]

For me, I won’t lie, I don’t think I would want to give my time studying gambling.. Fully knowing well that even though I am able to know everything about gambling, I wouldn’t still have a proper edge over it, the house still wins.. I don’t know for you’ll, but that’s just what I feel..
I would rather give those time to something else, building on it. Because I know I can’t get that consistent win off gambling even if I invested a lot of time in it..

[Nahl]

Sport betting knowledges is not hard to learned because just like i said it plenty that as long as you are the fans of the particular sport then automatically you can determine the outcomes of the particular games too so, to learn about sport betting i think it's not necessary to studying hard because you will know by yourself to predict the results when you were very often to following sport update or watching the games but if speaking about sport betting for long run i think similar to other gambling games that it's hard to gets steady income because in sport betting too there are much potention unpredictable results happened which caused you will lost your bets and for me although i was involved in sport betting for years but i still considers this game is for fun only

I would love to study and put my time into it if my goal is to make money, not for leisure. For me, every gambler has a different purpose. So for me, if I'm into those sports and I love watching and gambling on it, I would love to waste my money to study more and know how to win more because it will give me satisfaction and pleasure.
If you are thinking you will lose in every bet you place, I don't think it's good.

[Darker45]

If you're a fan of the sport or league you're closely following, you'd become effortlessly familiar with it. If you watch the games, monitor the teams and players, and other developments, you wouldn't feel you're taking effort in understanding your bet. You're just having fun.

Surely, you can walk the extra mile and seriously study other seemingly minor factors that are often overlooked like the altitude of the court a specific game is to be played, but most won't. Me neither.

I guess I'm not treating sports betting the way a geek does with his/her favorite field. But bankroll management, weighing on odds and lines, tracking bets are basic.

To a certain extent, analysis could really do a little good to narrow down the possibilities of options that could play using the performances of both teams,  but that is still not a certainty as luck is also inclusive.

I would rather go all in, with analysis and lose than going in blindly without proper knowledge of both teams playing. Recently,  I tried a new betting pattern by playing two games with a directly opposite option for most unlikely games and same option for teams that I trust the most.

Though I lost the game by a cut, but I was surprised that the game which I had little expectations about was actually the game that had the most success outcome with just a cut. So do you think this pattern might actually work with sports betting?

If you see something that you think will improve your odds of winning then the best thing you can do is to follow it up and see how it works out for you, whether it will be in your favour or not provided that you can actually make out the time to do all the things you just listed out here.
Sports betting isn't like playing slots, you chances of winning will be drastically increased by you prediction and analytical skills.

No, no, it's definitely not a waste of time, and although most of us lose, not all of us lose, right? Many people, millions probably, win their bets after making a proper research and we can be among them, it's not like saying, we can be among lottery jackpot winners, it's realistic. I wouldn't suggest bet your whole life on it, quit the job and invest all your time in sports betting, but as a side fun, why not?

[imthegreat]

It's better to choose activities that will bring success with the least amount of luck. I used to really love sports betting, but then I realized I was bad at controlling myself when losses came from bad luck. I realized the futility of my efforts, as I'd spend days analyzing bets, deciding what to bet on and which team. It was interesting, but exhausting. And I'd get furious when I saw all my efforts go to waste because of rare events. But for some reason, this happened precisely when I was making big bets.

That's why I decided that sports betting wasn't the way to earn a lot of money consistently. It's unstable because of the influence of luck.

The idea of "studying" sports betting as if sports betting is some sort of rocket science or quantum physics is hilarious.  
Gambling/sports betting is still based on luck and even if you become the biggest sports betting expert in the world, you could still lose everything. You can't replace luck with knowledge and expertise. Maybe "studying" sports betting would help you minimize your loses and make some decent profits every once in a while, but it definitely won't make you rich(unless you have great luck and you quit at the right time).
You could replace the word "studying" with the word "grinding". The gamblers, who have the "grinding" mindset always end up losing lots of money and getting addicted.
