Yes. I have earned through gambling on sports before. Football premier league and world cup matches to be precise. I had to compile a number of teams to increase the odds and then used quite some amount of money to play it. It was an online betting platform so I simply funded my account and applied the amount to the game I had already compiled together.

The games were to run for three days as some matches were played on the first day, some others on the second and a few others were played on the third. So luckily for me, I won matches played on the first as well as on the second day. Now I had an issue with the remaining two games to be played on the third day.

I was not quite sure of how possible it would be for the first team to emerge victorious as I had chosen them to carry the day. Luckily for me, there was an option on the platform which would allow me cash out the amount I had accumulated so far. And I took that option, and cashed out some fair amount.

At the end of the next day, my predictions were right and the team I was unsure of lost the match which meant that I would have lost my entire predictions as well if I had not cashed out on the previous day. So betting actually pays, but you need to be careful about it. I think I have actually lost way more than I have earned
