Not everybody wins. In fact, a very small percentage of regular gamblers are long term winners.

Betting, for the vast majority, should not extend beyond using money which can afford to be lost. There are very few who are able to make it professionally and those who do will have spent many years perfecting their art, understanding and calculating their ‘edge’. Keep things in perspective and start small whilst learning about what is important when choosing a good bet, and what to ignore.
