Well it's like starting your own business. There's a lot of up-front capital costs mainly in terms of time spent learning, developing methods, building stuff, etc. If you're a good programmer you can build stuff that's flexible to being automated in the future. The good news is that the up-front dollars required is actually very low since you can get staking/financing pretty easily once you can demonstrate actual subject matter proficiency and an ability to win. And at least compared to other forms of advantage gambling sports betting scales relatively well.
Also like most small businesses, most fail in the early stages.
I'd say unless you absolutely love grinding live poker I think it's a worthwhile long term time investment to at least spend some time looking into sports betting.
