as with all gambling, it only makes sense when you believe you have an edge and see value in the bet. to make profit with betting in the long run you will also have to understand some more advanced betting concepts / strategies / money management / risk minimization and how the market works. if you dont know exactly what you are doing then you might aswell just flush your money down the toilet.
