Average sports bettor smarter than the average fan?

From my experience, i think sports bettors are more knowledgable than the average fans. Win or lose, they have to study the game more since their money is on the line. Average fans just like to cheer, have a good time, socialize, and hope their teams win.

Are people who do something for a living better at it than people who don't?

And who are you...the Alfred Einstein of sports betting?

No.
because the average sports fan isn't dumb enough to gamble on games.
average bettors break even or lose more than they win most of the time I guess.

Average sports bettors are degenerates that overestimate their expertise.
Only ones whose knowledge I would ever trust are professional bettors that don't need a side job.

The average sports bettor? Not a chance. Because the average sports bettor loses and loses often. The average fan at least is smart enough not to piss their money away.
The exceptional sports bettor probably is and the dudes creating the lines definitely are.
