Beating the point spread wagering on NFL games is also a game of skill then. There are some sports betters who are better at analyzing data than the bookies are who consistently make money.

Very few games that we'd call gambling (e.g. blackjack) are 100% chance though. Maybe dice games? Lotteries? Even in games where the house always has edge, you can lose less by playing optimally.

In sports betting, the odds are dynamically adjusted by the operator, who is also part of the game. Not quite the same as poker.

Losing less does not mean you can win, which is the case in poker. To the best of my knowledge, it is the case in fantasy sports too.
