I knew a professional gambler. He made good money. It's not actually that hard to do if you just do a statistical analysis across all the races and keep track of the state of the horses and jockeys using public information. The hard part is it requires nerves of steel because you will be up 100,000 one day and down 200,000 the next day and up $120,000 a day after that. The point is it's all doable mathematically.
I haven't kept up with it does Madden football still predict the winner of the super bowl every year? Not that it matters since you usually have to gamble on more esoteric things because it's generally not that hard to predict who's going to win it. I always used to wonder how gambling with football was profitable until I found out you don't gamble on the actual outcome of the match you gamble on point spreads and whatnot which are much harder to predict
