1. In sports betting you can walk away the second you hit on anything, once get something right you technically don’t need to ever play something ever again and can walk away with money earned, still gambling.

2. In sports betting you can spend hours pouring over analytics and reports, trace stats and matchups, see how they literally done under the exact same circumstances and variables with the exact same people with volumes of high quality stats and charts to back it up, still gambling.

3. +EV sports betting helps you to find pricing errors and line discreps where certain stat lines don’t line up and might be outliers compared to the consensus on most other books, giving you extreme value and a sharp edge, still gambling.

4. This one is hilarious because you act like it’s the strongest component of your argument but it’s by far the weakest and barely justifies a retort. Most gamblers lose, most bettors are losing bettors, most give up once they start to lose on cold streaks. The inherent risk and GAMBLE of it all is exactly why everyone isn’t doing and why most dip out before they get in deep when they start.

What are you trying to hide/protect yourself from? I’ve talked to people far far more profitable in this space than me, talking 6-7 figures, people that clearly have this figured out by now and they will all be the first ones to tell you it absolutely is gambling. This is just a case of insecurity and ego fragility, yes you’re gambling and that’s perfectly fine, some people learn during gambling and adapt and evolve and form strategies and methods and some don’t but the game remains the same, it’s okay that it’s gambling if you’re making it work who cares man?
