There is no difference between casino games and sports betting.
You think there is but there isn't.
You think you're a 'better' gambler if you bet on sports and you probably treat casino gamblers as idiots who don't know what to do with their money, but in reality sports betting can be as destructive as casino games ... it doesn't make any difference whether you analyze the Roulette after 10 spins or analyze a tennis game.

I agree sports betting is a 'better' way to bet, but it's the same way to lose your money ... bookmakers by fact are the ones with the upper hand because they don't bet against you ... they win no matter what the outcome is ... trying to pick winners these days is just impossible in the long run ... so many unpredicted things happen in sports ... you can't predict a baseball winning team because in the 6th inning the pitcher might throw the ball badly and 2 runners will score ... it could happen in the 7th, it could happen with another team ... you don't have a script of what's going to happen in the game, and your chances of predicting the correct score are slim to none ... so you can use some analysis but what is it good for if in the gamezone everything changes?!

I don't think you really understand what happens in sports betting. I don't think you understand what is occurring from a marketplace standpoint when a bet is placed. I don’t even think you get the concept of the marketplace. Perhaps I’ll start a thread.
It’s not bettor against a tennis match, it’s not bettor against a bookie, it’s bettor against bettor. The bookmakers get their cut, but in the end, the winning bettors take from the losing bettors, the strong take from the weak.
You are a losing bettor, thinking you’ve been there and done that with gambling, thinking you’ve learned the truth, when you’ve at best learned part of some truth, you don’t even realize how much you don’t know. The first step for you is to realize you know so little.
I’m guessing I’ve taken from you at some point in the past.
