    For most people, the luck argument in sports betting is what they blame losing on, but there is a skill involved in sports betting. Just like in poker, if you are a losing sports bettor, you just arent as good as you think you are. If you are a winning bettor, then make sure your sample size is large enough to determine if you are truely "skilled" at it.

    so...my question is: Can you compare the straight up bettors to the cash game players and the parlay players to tournament players? In each, one is a grind winning one or two units at a time, while one loses most of the time, but waits for a big score. thought?
