Haha. If you want to outright gamble, in addition to sports betting, you can just go to a casino. They say the house edge is lowest on Blackjack, Craps and video poker. But the house still has a small edge on those games (unlike the massive edge on slots and Roulette) and you're slightly more likely to lose money than you are to come out ahead. But if you get lucky, it only takes two winning $5000 bets on the Craps table. ;-)
But from what I have heard, if you want to make money gambling you need to play Poker--and to win you need to be the best player at the table.
