Sports betting isn't exactly being against the house. In sports betting the house takes bets on both sides and then charges a percentage. Oh wait, you seem to understand this. The op was talking about making sports bets but being against the house.

I worked as a trader for a UK based bookmaker and in reality it wasn't like that. You were betting against the house and it was very rare for us to make money on any outcome.
