I'm an expert and I can say that the third row is a bit of bullshit. "Only games with an element of skill"...who's skill?
If you gamble for money and profit then those two rows are all that matter, the third row is only restrictive.
Like those guys who only bet baseball lines up to a certain price, they leave value on the table, experts making a business of it generally try not to leave money on the table.

Proud of my gambling, Since 2004 I have cashed out plenty with never a lost since I have never deposit. 3rd year of sports betting and I am doing just fine here at SBR maybe someday taking it to the books.

Yeah, I agree. I saw this chart on a TedTalk I watched about gambling. My first thought after seeing the chart was... "I bet about half of SBR would either qualify for or at least consider themselves to be in the Expert category yet very few of these "Experts" are long term winners. What's the use of being an "expert" if you're not winning? There definitely needs to be a 4th category... and probably a few other categories as well.
