Sports betting is a game of luck

Rolling dice and playing roulette can be considered luck, not sports betting. Every gambler who has had the opportunity of playing sports betting for over 2 years would have realised that it is not a game of luck.

Successful gamblers know when and where to call it a quit, how to say no when the odds are not in their favour, and past experience guiding their paths. So if you don’t have the necessary qualities to excel in betting just putting your hopes on stats and predictions from other punters, then you can call it luck when or if you get a positive return.

So maths might basic maths knowledge might be important but you don’t need to have a degree in maths to excel in sports betting.
