A GAME OF SKILL
Placing a sportsbet is a game of skill. The challenge is to gather and analyze as much information as you can about a game, weigh the probabilities of each team winning, and subsequently compare your opinion to the oddsmaker's.
While luck may be a deciding factor in the outcome of any single game, and will inevitably go against the bettor on occasion, it will balance out in the long run.
Being a consistent winner in sports betting is not about luck but whether the bettor is prepared to invest the time and effort to become knowledgeable about the sports he bets on, whether he can weigh all the factors in a cool, objective fashion, and whether he adopts a consistent, disciplined, long-term approach to betting.
The bookmaker is simply a middle-man who operates on a small profit margin and, ideally likes to see half the money wagered on one team and half on the other, assuring a profit.
If too much of the money goes on one team, the bookmaker will move the line or point spread to encourage bets on the other team in an effort to balance his book. The person the bettor is attempting to beat is the oddsmaker, and the oddsmaker's views on each team's chances.
Just by flipping a coin, bettors will be right 50% of the time. At odds of 10/11, only 52.4% of the bettor's bets have to win for him to overcome the bookmaker's profit and break even, so he only needs a very small edge to become a winner.
So bettors must do their homework and bet selectively. 55% winning bets is definitely achievable and 60-65% is a realistic target. At those levels, the sports bettor will have an extremely profitable and enjoyable hobby.

UFC Fight Night:
Hall vs. Strickland
July 29, 2021 by Marc Jerbs
On Saturday, Uriah Hall will face Sean Strickland in the main event of the UFC Fight Night.
Match time is set 9:00PM EDT at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Uriah Hall has the skill and talent to succeed in the UFC.
However, it is his mental approach that sidelined his rise in the middleweight ranks.
He fought with a lot of inconsistencies and hesitations in his first twelve fights in the UFC.
But he has turned a new corner and has won his last four matches.
His last four wins puts him as once of the contenders in the 185-pound weight class.
Sean Strickland is a tough and technical mixed martial arts fighter.
A nasty motorcycle knee injury forced him in a two-year hiatus in the UFC.
Eight months since his return, he earned three straight wins and he's proving himself that he's capable in the 185-pound weight class.
