What does the phrase sporting proposition mean the most dangerous game

I think that the phrase "sporting proposition" means a game of chance.

It was used in this dialogue:
<span>"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call `a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection." (1.96)
</span>
When you say "sport" is infers a chance of winning and losing. There is no sure outcome.
In the above lines, hunting has become a sure deal and it does not invigorate nor inspire the hunters to do better.

I don't have the book so I can't give a line of evidence but Atticus was all about teaching Jem and Scout those little life lessons without them even noticing so this instance was one of those little lessons he gives them. Hope this helps :)
