If you're talking on sports betting well yeah there are persons who really is a good bettor they will analyze all including their previous games and who is their opponent and many more but if you're talking about casino betting games I don't think there's a skill on such thing because you need a pure luck on them.

In anyhow there's still some people who can manage to generate good strategy to be in the positive side.

Gamblers who have lots of experienced both from sports or casino gambling , there are some people that do exist
who keeps making money out from gambling, though the chance of losing is also possible but managing the damage
is where they really good with.

There's these players who runs into the background, the players, the team itself before a bet then there are people who will just bet based on their instinct, so in my opinion being a good bettor will be based on the games that you are playing, if you are playing a dice which has only 2 choices, 50/50 and is winning, good bettor is not a word to describe you but a lucky guy. Skill based games is where you'll find the good bettors.

Game analyzation and money management is the core of a good bettor. IMO.

When you're talking about listening to someone and then bet on something (here - horse racing specifically), let me ask you this - where did that knowledge come from - to the one who is tipping you? Even a tipster is the one who is aware of the probability and chances, as well as studied the horse as well as old game results are also checked with the horse power being a major factor to measure how long and quick will the horse run. But horse racing is riskier compared to sportsbetting and needs pure luck in order for you to win if you've gone for the 1st horse, and you can try to place yourself a bit easily if you're getting a line of 1-3 ranks.

I think to be a good bettor you need to have the knowledge about the things that you would bet on.
For instance just as you've said (OP) in horse race you need to know the details of the opponents and of course the history of each horse to have a better chance on winning.
But when it comes to sport like basketball or other team sports you need to know all about the past events like who are their new recruit players and who are injured their play style and other things as well.

Skills and luck makes someone as a profitable bettor but for someone to be a good bettor then they should be really disciplined with their money management, they should always stay under their line or else they can ruin their financial plans of their life.In sport betting making best analysis as mich as they can and give best of their efforts to make it one as good gambler.

But luck will not always come to you, even if you have high skills in one game. We need to consider that, so we don't use too big money if we are not sure. The discipline will also be required for any gambling game because that is one factor that can help us to prevent the big loss. Having a plan is a must so that we can stick to the plan, and we don't risk our money in the gambling games. Perhaps, it will hard, but if we don't try, we will never have a chance to control our money.

Money management plan is the only way to tackle in gambling for long term, if we have plans regarding wins then it will suck for sure.When we are skillful and have great money management skills then particular sports betting can make them quite profitable but where there is a world betting it holds the risks.

A good bettor for me is if you really do know your bet, you studied, think, research on which team are you going to bet it's for sports betting but in regards with the casino a good bettor should know his limit and be able to control himself from greed if he won and can control his temptation if he lose.

If you're taking this approach, the question is how far should the bettor go and whether it's sufficient to do all the stuff you've mentioned to become successful. The first part of my question is about how deep should the bettor dive into details on the teams, players and everything surrounding the upcoming game. Is it 'the more the better' or perhaps there's a risk of drowning in too much information? The second part is the following: let's say a person does perfect research (whatever that constitutes) and has excellent self-control. Does this guarantee wins on a regular basis? The problem is that it seems to me that it doesn't.
And to put it more generally, is there any ultimate pack of skills, resources and traits that is sufficient for becoming a successful bettor?

I guess in Gambling, experience would be the most useful thing to use. Reading gambling in books or hearing it from others story can be helpful to get a vibe on what to do around gambling and betting BUT experience will be the best teacher when you are doing it by yourself. It also is important to be open-minded at all times since there are many opportunities that is presented when you are betting and you can study them slowly while you are doing it.

That is knowledge.

The knowledge you've accumulated from gambling or as you go is your experience. That really makes us a good bettor but there is also another thing, Discipline. There is management, experience, skills but I think discipline will really define you as a good bettor and I also think Discipline is just one of those objects to complete the set of being a good bettor.

What you have said is correct mate. For me, you are good at betting when you know how to evaluate, measure things and also when you know how to observe. For example in sports betting, you shouldn't be biased when choosing which side you will bet for because not all the time your chosen team will win.

Experience does play an important role as a new or initial stage one can get carried away easily, but once you get experience you known when to put pause or stop as well. This comes with experience and with self-disciple. Because have seen people who had won a big amount but, in the end, due to greediness has lost that profits as well.

Basing on experience, yes it is quite true. I had already made some wins but due to greediness actually it will be lost of if not the money I brought would be left in my pocket and reserve for the next day to gamble. As long as I enjoy playing I would not mind losing the money or even the wins. This is somehow my problem because I can make wins in the first rounds but when I get carried away with the fun in gambling losses will follow. Usually I take home quite few times but mostly my money remains as it was or I lost it all in gambling.

Slowly adopting the process will gives you a better chance to succeed from this venue.

Most experienced gamblers knows how to control their emotions,
they are capable of deciding the right thing in the right place and time.

They prevent losing huge amount of money while they are also capable in making good amount as they are not greed as experienced teach them to avoid knowing the after effects of being greed.

For me, it depends on your senses, the way you think and your mood.

Sometimes we really play happy go lucky, we bet because we are happy and it boosts our mood.

That's the reason why many bettors are dealing with the risks without thinking about the results that might happen.

Sometimes, self-discipline will make you a good better. It will help you to have a proper timing on when to bet or where to bet depending on the situations that you are dealing with. If you are greedy enough to bet without thinking then that's very risky.

I guess if it is horse race I will just look on their previous performance to have a better chance to win. Personally I like sports betting than purely luck based games. Chances on winning in sports bet is really high if it is only played by 2 teams or 2 person like basketball and boxing, you only need to select one of the team and thats it. Knowing the capability and ability of who you are betting on really helps but anything can happen in a sport, anyone can make a comeback.

Betting on horse racing could be easy aswell (or probably easier) considering that the number of factors you'll need to take into consideration in the track don't look much compared to soccer(just my opinion). In football there are over twenty players to include in your analysis/research, horse racing numbers varies... can be just few riders/horses to many riders/horses. The only challenge is that you'll have many riders to bet on, compare to two teams to bet on in football. I guess you could just research, select and focus more on two likely winners in horse racing to make things a bit easier

I agree, in my opinion discipline is one of the most important skills a good bettor should have. Everyone can get lucky sometimes and make a lot of money, but holding on to your winnings and losing it in the long run is the real art. So many lottery winners who won millions ended up broke again after some years. It is mandetory to make plans how you going to spend your winnings and how much you are going to reinves into new bets. So being emotional stable enough to get through bad times and keep sticking to your strategy is the main virtue of a good gambler.

Is it about knowing how to bet or what you're betting on, what do you think?

In whatever form of gambling, it's always a good advantage that we have an awareness or knowledge about the game and not just following good picks and advice from others. It's like relying more on others if we just do some random bet and we are just increasing the risks of losing.

A good bettor don't make random bets, especially at sports-betting. That's a big risk for me and simply throwing away some money. They don't want to just rely on luck as there are lots of ways to increase our winning chances thru our own way of analyzation.

Knowledge and the area of the expertise is important when it comes to be a good gambler, how can you be a good in something if you do noy fully understand the whole game. There are always risks but a good gambler can handle it very carefully through risk management. I do not know why there are a lot of gamblers who do not give a care on their psychology, it is a big factor and in order to fully understand and develop our knowledge; we should first able to understand ourselves.

sports betting is already easy and why we need to bet blindly ? its okay to bet randomly on other games because its hard to put analysis on them .

good thing there are pre created analysis by other people that we can use if we totally have no idea on the game that we are interested with . you said they are good picks and good advice only so why hesitate to follow them ? that will still make us a good bettor .
