Yes, only ~3% of bettors are net profitable, but more important is lifetime value (LTV) vs. customer acquisition cost (CAC). With CAC around $300 and average losses at $100/year, it takes three years of retention just to break even per casual bettor. If the average retention drops below that, sportsbooks lose money on the majority of customers, even if most are losers
