If you're not willing to spend a dececnt amount of time on it, log all your bets, keep yourself to a % of bankroll per bet, and be very, very patient, there's no point ever really expecting any steady flow of money (and even then, especially if you mostly stick to boxing, don't expect much). If you just want to have fun and throw some money around here and there, there's nothing wrong with it, as long as you can handle gambling and reserving yourself to losing a reasonable amount (a lot of people can't).
As a guy who is the son of someone who made a career out of gambling, I think it's become way too ubiquitous and pushed on way too many people who are desperate and can't handle it (whether it be on sports, the massive proliferation of VLTs, the stock market, crypto nonsense and so on). I really don't like it as it's obviously predatory.
