Sports betting is the best way to go for ANY person looking for a way to gamble as a way to make a profit.
Why???
Fantasy sports:
You only have to beat the next guy. Yea, that's pretty simple if you want to game select a fukkin $5 heads up. But fantasy sports isn't a FAN type gamble. A few people have created all kinda fukkin algorithms to make the best team(s). Guess what? It only takes them 5 seconds extra to register a $10 tourney as opposed to a $5000 tourney. Nowadays you only have to push 1 button to enter what, 500 $10 tourneys. Ever see so many sharps entering $10 tourneys???
With the rake included, kiss your money goodbye, especially over the long run.
Poker:
Poker hit its peak then was trending downwards. With what happened to Fulltilt, a lot of fish left the scene on Black Friday. Not to mention the scandals with absolute poker and ultimate bet (I believe I was fukked at 75/150 on AP back in the day)
Nowadays everyone has a tracking software. Everyone has the add ons like note caddy and whatever the fukk else. All you have to do is interpret data and can play a decent game. Guess what, everyone else does this too for the winning poker network. Sure you can play on Ignition, but you get no rakeback. You have no clue if things are legit, you have no clue if it will be shut down, and guess what else?
If things are legit, each time and on every site you move up in stakes, you have to learn a new level of poker. ABC might still win at 10nl but you need ABD at 25nl, and probably fukking abz poker at 2000NL (every time I play there I am wasted so no clue how its actually played).
Sports betting??
You have to deal with offshore books. That is the worst part of it all. There are less than a handful solid ones left though. Line shopping has gone down tremendously for USA citizens.
But guess what, the book isn't looking to set the best line. The book isn't looking to take your money. The book is looking for the best possible outcome for them and that is why lines move. And if they lose to you repeatedly, so be it. Sure you might get banned over and over, but there are always places to bet and when you get to the worst case scenario...you will be able to afford runners.
Poker and blackjack had world famous groups that took advantage of the idiots. Sports betting does not have 1 fukkin young upcoming group that can take that claim. Not 1 fukkin person. Billy Walters??? Going to jail...made it money laundering. Brandon Lang? Guys come on this is a serious post.
Is the rake too high? No it is the same as poker and fantasy sports for the most part. There just aren't enough people trying to take advantage of the system.
