Less than 3% of regular sports bettors are consistently profitable, with an estimated 1% to 2% of players winning the vast majority of all available money. The remaining 97-99% of players—who treat betting as a casual hobby rather than a professional endeavor—end up losing money over time.

If gambling was more profitable for more people it wouldn't be called gambling. Might have some clever name like the NYSE.
