I knew a guy that got rich with sport bets. He was that much of not a sports fan, but rather a statistics geek. He used to evaluate decades of sport results and also liked to be at the live event so he could have access to the any event as soon as it happened. That would give him an edge over people watching the game on TV that would see the events several seconds delayed.

Iβve been studying algorithmic game theory over the last couple months and now recently got into expected value deep dives, I wouldβve never started without having some sort of grounded framework for making these predictions.
Iβve never liked gambling because I never had an edge, the edge comes from the mental frameworks.
I did realize one thing though.. I should stick to one sport the one I can read best, which in my case is basketball. Never placing any bets on any other sports no matter how interesting or appealing they might be, I simply donβt have the time to research them all..
I am not qualified to give any advice regarding sport bets, just be aware that you are probably betting against professionals who probably have more and faster access to information than any amateur out there.
information frequency matters not, bets become available and are cut off for everyone at the same time, reason why Iβd gamble here instead of in the stock market where information frequency matters a lot, no matter if you are at the live sports game and thereβs a 5 minute delay between that and the stream i watch, all sports bets have a cut off time before theyβre being played live.
notice how the live ones get locked out
