Would you rather spend $100 on sports betting or play poker with that $100?
I'm one of those who plays big tournaments to make big winnings, although sometimes I spend $100 on buy-ins to win $300 in prizes and repeat the cycle! Sometimes I want to start with the copy betting groups that exist in various online communities, where they tell you the sure bets. I've seen that out of every 10 predictions, 2 or 3 lose at most.
I also like slots, but I haven't had any success with them, only losses!
 
Sometimes sports betting is really profitable, but i have to say it is more safe to bet on the low rates @football for example, when you searching for games
where usually 2 teams scoring more than one goal and you bet on 2 goals i think you will get 1.10-1.19 in most cases so my advice you take 2-3 games as a combi-bet and you have a 1.55 or higher and risk of loosing your buyin is low because, if these games are same time and there is a goal in each game you can also make a cashout when its higher than your buyin.
If you are better in poker then stay focused on it, how many hours you play per week`?

1. "Sure bets" are normally the term for arbitrage betting. You can gain a few % from a bet like that but it comes with major downsides.
2. It's not about winning %, it' about the odds you get to place your bets at, like with other gambling - it's probability vs. potential return. Books employ statistical agencies to form their lines, so you're up against top dogs in the field. It's a very efficient market.

Provided you have a decent understanding of poker, it's a much safer way to win long-term. It is possible to make money in sportsbetting markets but it's way tougher and requires way more rigor.

I would suggest not doing this without a very solid analysis/understanding of each leg of your bet. There is a good reason why bookies promote accas so much. Cashouts are also a bad deal if you look into the numbers deep, they have their margins there too.
