A few days ago, my house was being cleaned. Three people are cleaning the front and back yards of the house. One of them was playing slots and I saw him. Actually, I wanted to suggest he try sports betting because I often see the guy watching football matches and he does have knowledge about many teams. So I was wondering if I could introduce him to sports betting so he could use his ability to predict every game he knows about.

Besides that, I just feel that if he deposited $10 = IDR 150,000 into a gambling site just to play slots, he would probably suffer a complete loss. But if he can place bets on sports betting, there is a possibility of him winning some money on small bets. Wouldn't that be an advantage for him?

If you were in this situation, what would you do? Introduce him to sports betting or let him stick to playing slots. Yesterday, I just let it go but we still often meet at other activities.

he may enjoy sports but not sports betting. His knowledge of sports might be used to carry out analysis when wanting to place a bet. but back to the fun. he loves games like slots, so perhaps similar enjoyment will elude him in sports betting. unless he just wants to chase victory and profit to make money.

you introduce it in sports betting there is no problem. he can just try it and if he likes it because of some of the benefits it brings. he can continue.

I don't understand what's the relationship between you and them? are they your family members? if yes, you can try to introduce him to sports, otherwise you don't have to mind someone else business. Sharing about your gambling experience with him is fine, as long as you said the truth especially if you make money in sports betting.

I doubt if he's unaware with sports betting, most casinos already have slots, table games and sports.

Predicting football matches outcome is beyond just watching the matches. You need to make analyses. Or probably he will only bet on the leagues he use to watch their matches. He may see casino more exciting and entertaining which should be the reason we are gambling.

Sport betting let people have false sense of winning, but if they start to gamble with sport matches, they will notice that the odds in casinos is better and that makes sport betting dangerous and also very risky.

What tells you that the guy do not know about sport betting? I do not introduce gambling to anyone.

Slots players might not be as interested in sports betting. Know a lot about sports if you want to bet on them. Like-minded sports fans might enjoy playing more. Instead of playing games that depend on luck, like slots, it might be fun to have a lighthearted conversation about sports betting and how it can help people make smart decisions. Anyone can make the final decision, but giving them other options and points of view can help them focus on a type of gambling that takes more skill and is more likely to pay off.

I will probably often chat with him without talking in essence about the games he plays such as slots because I have an annoying experience because it is difficult to advise slot gamblers, so you have to use a really appropriate approach to talk about it, actually the reason why people play slots is usually them just want to look for instant riches and big wins by getting the jackpot, just like fishing when they get a big fish, that's what's on their mind.

But we can't directly invite him to sports betting, especially since we know that sports betting is not a bet that can make people rich quickly, just look at the number of opportunities offered for sports betting is not that big, so if he plays with capital of $ 10 I think it's difficult earn big money quickly through sports betting but it is more likely to quickly earn big wins through slots. I think he doesn't like sports betting for a reason too, I will definitely take him slowly by making him realize little by little that sports betting is a more reasonable gamble than slots. I believe by taking this approach he will change his mind about moving into sports betting.  ;D

You only have that as a feeling which only a mete guess and not that you're sure about any losses he is incurring by playing slot stead of sport betting. Moreover, it could be the guy is having a bunch of fun filled moment each time he's playing the slot that's why he has no interest on gambling in sport games despite him having knowledge of many sports teams just as you mentioned.

I would implore you to let the young man be where he is comfortable and cool with what he is doing I mean the slot game he is playing. In as much as he is not doing it irresponsibly and not acting as an addict with it then he should be left on with his game of interest. Have you Op also had a second thought on this, like what of you persuade him about gambling on sports betting and he lost control of himself in the process or what if he never makes profits (winnings) at all contrary to your believe that due to his knowledge about football games he would most likely be having wins. Maybe you should just let the sleeping dog lie.

The first thing I would do would be asking why instead of working, one of employees is gambling during work. Overall, I would not give others any suggestions towards gambling. Mostly because introducing something, when you were not asked to do that, looks strange and inacceptable in society imo. On the other hand, if that worker is familiar with slots betting, I am sure that he is familiar with sports betting also. Gambling is so popular, that I thing everyone knows about every possibility to gamble. It is hard to surprise someone with gambling.

The kind of gambling games a person chooses should be based on interest. Some people might not enjoy sports bets that's why they are sticking to slots. We shouldn't also push aside that gambling is not just for profit-making but also entertainment. But it will not be bad if you introduce him to sports betting if you think he has the experience and would have some advantage. But ensure you have the time to guide him properly to make him understand sports betting this is to avoid mistakes. But do you think sports betting has more advantages than slot games?  

Based on your story, I would say you could've asked him to stop gambling since he is working which I think is unprofessional, if you will just introduce sports gambling they might think it's okay to do slack around while at work since you are okay with it. I'm not the type of person who introduces gambling to anyone. I don't like the feeling of being the one responsible if someone gets addicted to it. There's more to gambling than just having fun, people might get addicted to it to the point that they might spend all their money.

No will not suggest him anything and let him enjoy what he do on slot game since for sure he enjoy playing that since he would not provably spend some time playing or trying his luck on that game if he's not enjoying it. Also I will just open a discussion about sportbetting and also I'm sure he is aware of that option existence since he's a gambler  then try to talk something about sports also for betting it. If he's interested to gamble with this for sure he would reach up to you and ask what site you are betting. But if he's not interested about what you have discuss then for sure he's only into slot games and not so interested about sportsbetting since not everyone like to bet in this category. There are people just like to try their luck on slot games or any game that they can see a fast result.

I'd definitely try to entice him to gamble in sports. That way I can have a new friend to talk to about gambling. It's these little connections that you sometimes unexpectedly make that makes it quite fun at random moments. Not to mention it's an easy connection if I ever needed to ask their team again to clean my house lmao.

Well that's only if he tries it out though. If he keeps on playing slots then I might still keep in touch if he wants to, but not to the point where I'd talk to him about matches of sports every time it's the start of a season since, well, you can't exactly talk about much when it comes to slots.

Thank you for the suggestion. I gathered the reply together.

@Pandu Geddon.
I don't know whether he likes sports betting or not but his knowledge in predicting strong teams is because he really likes looking for information from many sources. On several previous occasions when he and I met, he said that he knew the strength of each team that would compete from reading some sites that he believed could provide a lot of information. Maybe from there, he can gain knowledge about many teams.

@Apocollapse.
My relationship with them is just friends. So I asked them to help clean my house's front and back yard. There is no family relationship at all. I still haven't decided to introduce him to sports betting because I'm still thinking more about whether he can be responsible well when playing slots. Otherwise, I wouldn't have introduced him to sports betting. This is the first time I saw him playing slots because previously, he only used his smartphone to watch videos on YouTube or view short videos on TikTok.

@Oshosondy.
He has made his own analysis but unfortunately, he never wants to provide his analysis but he often shares his predictions with all of us. But no one knows about sports betting because some of us often play this slot game. I haven't introduced sports betting to him because I've never seen him bet on sports betting.
We don't know whether he might like sports betting or not. Of course, I only saw him playing slots and nothing else.

@SeaCoinCollector.
Well, your suggestion makes sense. By inviting him to chat about things he likes, we can provoke him to say how long he has been gambling and which gambling game he likes the most. From there, we can suggest that he try sports betting if he has never tried it before.

@piebeyb.
Yes, your suggestion also makes sense because watching him continue playing slots while seeing how responsible he is in playing slots can provide an explanation for what if I introduce him to sports betting later. I have never persuaded anyone to try betting on sports betting because I am very selective in inviting others to gamble.

@Lida93.
What you say is acceptable because there is someone who will blame us if they gamble excessively. This could cause problems for him and his family. For the record, he is divorced from his wife and he has three teenage children who live with his wife. He lives alone and often helps people who live in my neighborhood.

@bakasabo.
Maybe he is interested in slot games, but I haven't asked him further. Hopefully, he only plays slots when he has free time and doesn't play them too often. But if I look at the slot games he plays, it seems he has the discipline to stop playing slots.

@Fiatless.
Maybe I could advise him to stop playing slots and tell him to save his money because he already has three children, even though he is divorced from his wife.

@virasisog
So in your opinion, I should not introduce him to sports betting while watching his progress in playing slots. If he can control himself and use gambling well, I can introduce him to sports betting. I can carry out this suggestion, considering I might still meet him again.

@arwin100
I also thought about inviting him to chat about sports so that, from there, I could find out more about him and see what he was like when he gambled. It may still take time to introduce it to sports betting.

@Wexnident
I don't want to persuade or introduce him to sports betting because I still want to see him when he gambles. If he can take care of himself well and I have talked to him a lot about sports and asked him if he has ever placed a bet on sports betting, I will introduce him to sports betting. We will see later.

What about the option of minding my business?

I actually don’t see how his betting affect me to the extent that I’d want to teach him or lecture him on what type of game he should be betting on – besides there’s no certain way to determine if he switches to sport betting that he won’t lose his money.

Well for me, I don’t think I’ll try convincing him because I too have lost a lot of money in sport betting [although I still have a greater win percentage compared to slots], also I don’t know if he’s into sport or not so me going up to convince him will just be like a waste of time.

In that situation I don't think I would directly jump onto suggesting that person to move from slots to sportbetting. I believe I would instead try to get into a casual conversation on his luck with slots and gambling in general, in order to get an idea on how responsible he is. Assuming he seemed to be a person which keeps his gambling under control, then I would indeed suggest him to move onto and try sport betting, otherwise I think I would not recommend anything, I would not even recommend him to seek for help to control his addiction, those kind of advices can sometimes make people to feel attacked or called out.

While it is true there are more chances for money to be made in sportbetting than slots, if one suffers from problem gambling and moves into bets, there would be still much reckless behavior which could lead to losses, catastrophic ones even.

If he watches football but plays slot, then it is possible he has chosen what he is comfortable with. I don't think it will be a case of lack of knowledge.

I will suggest you let him continue in what he is doing, unless he ask you for help. If you interfere and he loses money, he might blame you for the lose. Check how Bayern Munic lost to Werder Bremen in their home, imagine you introduced him into sports betting and he staked heavily on Bayern Munic, by now he will still be struggling to forgive you for ruining his life. Let everyone chose what they want in gambling and be responsible for the outcome.

Maybe he never liked to place his bet on sport bet, but he prefers a casino game and that is why he is playing slot because he enjoys it. Gambling should be done for fun, and it is only the game that you enjoy playing that you should bet on, so that you don't miss the fun and get carried away by your emotions on games that you don't enjoy. This means that you are gambling for profit and not for fun.

I keep my gambling activities secret, and I don't like suggesting for gamblers on what game to place their bets on or give them results, so that if they end up losing, I wouldn't be blamed. Allow your friend to enjoy his slot game, who knows maybe that is where is luck lies.

This is what most gamblers will not want to understand, they are only gambling for no two reasons but to make money. Gambling should not be for making money but for fun but many people naturally use it to look for money. That is why you will see that most of them will likely  become victim of gambling addiction. And addiction is not good at all, it is not about you gambling with casino games or sports, it is just a way to gamble and lose money irrespective of the type of bets that you prefer.

Well, there is nothing to think much about; if the guy is already a gambler but he gambles on other games apart from sports, there is no harm in you introducing him to placing bets on sports as long as he loves to watch football matches or sports games.

My preferred game in gambling is mostly sports games, like football and tennis, but I got introduced to so many casino games through a friend who is also a gambler. He introduced me to dice, plinko, crash, etc., and I still fell in love with those games he introduced me to because they were fun despite the losses that arose. In all the games I was introduced to, there's nothing I like as much as crashes; they really mess with me, and I just always have the adrenaline pumps to keep betting.

If I were you, I would introduce the guy to football betting, but he also has the right to accept or reject the idea. You are not forcing him to start betting on football; rather, you are only giving him a suggestion, which he will either take or leave.

If you're considering introducing your acquaintance to sports betting, you could subtly highlight the potential benefits, such as leveraging his football knowledge for strategic bets. But always be mindful of not imposing your viewpoint and respect his preferences when discussing gambling activities.

Are you close with him or not? If not, let him mind his own business. If I were in his place, I would be surprised if you will approach me and suddenly tell me what needs to be done because of your mere observations only. Maybe yes, he's fond of sports, but not really have what it takes just yet to bet on sports. Or maybe he's not into complex game that takes updated information and skills to predict the right outcome so he isn't participating in one. There might be various reasons why he isn't doing sports betting when in fact he has the knowledge of football and other teams.

You might want to share your experience and just start a conversation from there. Not really to encourage him to do sports betting, but to give him a perspective if he's not very much aware of it, if that's the case.

It depends on what he enjoys, either slots or sports that's on him to make a choice and believe me I enjoy both, but it's better to go where you know that starting with something you have no clue about, if you are already into sports like football it will be easy to choose where to bet your money.

The truth is sports are more entertaining than other, and betting some money that you can afford to lose with feel good instead of trying to win against the casino online, but like I've said before it depends on who you are.

You can actually engage in both and see what works for you, I have meet some big football fans that place hundreds of bet on matches and they are still not winning a lot, one even tried to change his life with football bets and it doesn't work out.

This type of online gambling like this slot has an algorithm that is very difficult to conquer, the randomness in it often makes someone always get the final result that does not match what he wants, but besides that, on the other hand, the slot also has something that looks very tempting because in this type of gambling there is such a thing as maximum winnings, especially in games that are in pragmatic, I have one friend who is also quite active in online gambling, especially this slot and one of the reasons he often gambles is that he wants to feel the maximum winnings which are quite large but that is the wrong mindset that gamblers have.

It is not at all advisable for gamblers to put their hopes on winning especially if you are involved in types of gambling such as slots, and if I were in the OP's position I would probably approach the person and advise him to switch to sports betting only if he really has knowledge in this field, because obviously as we know that with knowledge and skills, it will be able to get closer to victory, such as combining skills with luck to get pretty good results. With this, I think they will not suffer too much from the number of large defeats as always happens in the type of slot gambling because in sports knowledge and skills can help them to get a little closer to victory, but of course risk management must still be applied because after all this is still a form of gambling that always has risks.

First, I won't suggest them anything. Why? Because they are working for you and it could end up these guys thinking of evil thing to do if they know you have the money. I mean, don't be too obvious that you have the capability to make such bets.
Now, after their work is done, that's when you will offer the suggestion. That way they will think about you as a friend and not as a boss. There's a big difference between the two.
No one will listen to us if we think, act, and move like a boss. People tend to follow those who are on the same page as them but what you will be doing may be stepping off the line.              
You have knowledge about sports gambling and they don't, this is not a suggestion to them when you take matters into your own hands, it will be like mocking them if you do so.

If I were you, I would ignore that and mind my business, because it's none of my business if someone wants to play slots or other games and not everyone likes it when someone disturbs them while they play. Moreover, not all football fans like to gamble on football, even when they are gamblers, because they like football purely because they like it or they are reluctant to gamble on it because they are too lazy to analyze the match.

This leads and discusses the profit side. I think it all depends on luck, because what is called gambling depends on luck. Slot or sports betting in my opinion still has a side of luck that will determine whether you win or not. But the difference is in knowledge.

In my opinion, slot gambling does not require deep knowledge, nor does it require skill. It is clear that the big possibility is loss, but if you are lucky then it will be a different story. I yesterday played slot gambling using a capital of $10 within an hour it had risen to $40, in my opinion because I was lucky and of course I immediately cashed it without thinking. And with sports gambling, indeed with the knowledge of many teams it can increase the chances of winning but in my opinion it is also inseparable from luck. Because even if you have a lot of knowledge of the soccer team, in my opinion it will not guarantee that you will actually win, because luck also still applies.

Maybe just let the guy enjoy his gambling on slots. Maybe he can try sports betting, but we don't know if he will enjoy the games you are talking about. Unless he is sure to win the sports bet.

Or unless he asks you a question or asks you for a suggestion about sports betting, maybe in this case you can do what you mentioned as long as you find interest in learning about sports betting games, but if there are no initiatives made for you, let it just him.

I will only assume they play slots because they want to win instantly if they bet on sports betting then they are tired of waiting for a long time until the match starts until the end, usually their shortcut is playing slots just to find luck, they usually fantasize like that.

If I myself always let him even though he has been given there then he will not respond to it because gambling games are his pleasure and his right to play anywhere despite having expertise in sports analysis.

Now online casinos are increasingly widespread in my own country for with a capital of $1.3 he hopes to Jackpot. Lol
Almost among young people always talk about the slots they play.

Two things can be mentioned here one is his choice and the other maybe he doesn't know. Many people are more interested in slot games where there can be various reasons for fixing in sports betting. Moreover, many people prefer luck in betting, so that person may show more interest in slot games. But it is necessary to know from him why he is not doing sports betting in the true sense. You can give him advice on sports betting. If he doesn't know then surely he will be interested in sports betting on your advice. An advantage here is that since he is experienced in this site he can definitely do something good.

First off, your friend should understand that the probability of him making money through gambling is lower that him losing. Gambling is here for entertainment, not to earn money through it. And you can have fun with playing slots or doing sports betting or both, it doesn't matter much. The main idea is to enjoy it. What would I do in your situation? Nothing. Because you can't guarantee that he will enjoy sports betting more than playing slots.

What if you introduce him to Sports betting, and it ruins him leaving him in a financial wreckage, and maybe lead him to take his own life? you will regret it the rest of his life. If you saw him playing slots, has it occurred to you that he may strictly be gambling for entertainment, or has tried sports betting before and he did not like it. A gambler has a higher advantage in sports betting if he has very good knowledge of sports but also some people with very good knowledge and sports are not interested in sports betting. Sometimes respecting people's choices is best and we should not always try to lead them the way that we think is better for them because we are just judging from outer appearance.

In the world of cryptocurrencies, as in the world of gambling, you need to give advice to people very carefully. Both familiar and little-known people. It's just that human thinking is such that everyone likes to dump responsibility on other people. It turns out that if such a person wins gambling, he is happy and praises himself. If he loses, he will blame others.

I will not do anything at all I don't want to introduce someone to anything related to gambling even if he is gambling unless he asks me to teach him or refer him, I have had bad experiences referring and teaching someone how to gamble since he is playing slot he will eventually venture to other games, gamblers are like that, and maybe he already playing sports betting and you do not know that.
Sports betting is still gambling, even if he is good at other games, there's no guarantee that he will do better on sports betting, you will eventually get the blame if he plays and eventually loses/

1. As stranger, sometimes you cannot do anything (Just like mind of your business)
2. Perhaps, rather than ask him gambling on the other sector they don't know. Why not asking him quit ~xd even we all know is impossible.

It's just common since, what do u expect ? he not your friend just a random guy, he will think you just distrub him or tell you for mind your own business and leave him alone ~xd. That's the reality.

Every gambler has game that he likes and every gambler will have betting option that he likes so that even if there are any invitations or suggestions for other games and bets, if he doesn't like it then he will never want to try it.
I myself would prefer to see what the results are of what he does so that whatever the results are, he himself will feel it because when we offer betting or game options and fail, we will definitely be the ones he blames the most.

Well, you are right, if he asks directly for sports betting or other games then we can suggest it, but we still have to be able to provide an understanding that whatever the results are, they cannot be guaranteed and there are still many risks that will occur.
We must be able to give him the understanding that he still has to be careful and not be careless which could cause him to experience big losses, because not all gamblers can accept every risk and defeat they experience.

sometimes it's a good thing to make small talk with other people, especially if the person is working with you, but sometimes it's even better if we keep quiet and just let that person go about their world. because he has his own reasons for playing slots, maybe he has limited capital or it is easier for him to play slots because it can be accessed from his device and it can be played when he is bored.

but whatever the reason is for him to play slots, just let him play it, there's no need to recommend betting on football because that's none of our business.

Man, without the @OP introduce or show if he gamble in sports, they already know if the @OP is the boss in the first place. :P

But I tend to agree with your second point, some people think we need to get close with our employees because we are all human beings, so we need to treat them nicely. Unfortunately it makes them not feel as a employee and they will keep demand a new thing because they thought they're deserved.

A situation like that, if it were me personally of course I wouldn't suggest anything to him, I'd rather see the gambling games he plays/slots, I'll see what they get, even though I know he's a fan of sports and so on.

In a situation like that I have to understand a person's hobbies and pleasures, currently he is gambling and risking money, of course we have to differentiate between gambling and the knowledge he has, Sometimes we see many people's hobbies as not based on knowledge, but as part of their own enjoyment.

For that reason, for me personally, I don't suggest anything and I will leave them to their own choices in gambling, the risk if the prediction we suggest for a sports club is not on target, the effect could be that we are the ones to blame, the profit if it is correct, how can he predict wrongly.
I'm sure that person has already bet on sports, maybe he's not as lucky as the knowledge he has, for that reason he prefers to gamble on slots.

I will choose to just let him do what he likes. Maybe he is someone who doesn't like sports, so he chooses to play slots. I will start telling him if he asks to me about another gamble, as long as he doesn't ask anything, then I will choose not to interfere in his business. After all, both slots and sports never guarantee any win, if he is already addicted to slots, it is difficult for him to switch his gambling activity to sports. Because he has to wait for the results of the match, which he might not want to do.

I would rather leave him be unless he asked for my opinion. I think he knows about sports betting too but don't push another form of gambling in case he doesn't know. That friend could come back and blame you if he loses big from betting on a team.

So while they're working on your house to clean up the front and backyard he's playing slots? Why not reprimand him if he has to finish work first or has already finished work? Distract this thought. :D

If I were you - I'd probably leave it alone, you have no right to advise who knows they're playing just for fun and to try their hand at slot games right? If he already has skills in sports betting then he might definitely do it again but maybe it's a coincidence that when he is at your house he only plays slots even though I know he will lose all his money.

Why not make the suggestion subtle so you will not lead him in a game where we don't know how he's going to perform there's a big difference between betting to win and watching the game, he may be good at watching and giving analysis but very different when he is betting.

You don't know if the guy is not into sports betting or does not want to be in sports betting and besides if he's a real gambler he knows luck based games and sports betting, why not ask if he has experience betting on sports betting if he has then you don't have to do anything.

Strike a conversation and between talks open up about sports betting but not in a way that you are encouraging him, there are subtle ways to do that gamblers can understand each other even if you do not directly encourage him.

That person for sure is betting on sports because it is impossible that he didn't and only played slots. It is better to ask him first if he bets on football games and ask his opinion about the games because maybe you will get some tips on what team to bet on. It is better when you approach that guy when they are on break because they are working and they get disturbed if you talk to them while they are working.

You don't need to introduce the person to gambling since he didn't come to you for that or he didn't tell you he was having issues with his slot betting, if he had done that then it would have been a good avenue to introduce him to something else which is sports betting as his alternative for slot.

One thing about sports betting especially football is that it looks easy to bet and win bet in reality it doesn't appear like that, so maybe the person has been betting on it with no success because sports betting is not just about watching football matches but it also includes analysing the games properly. Introducing him may be a futile attempt , he could tell you how much he has been losing in it but found slot to be better for him. I don't need introduce someone to gambling.

Yes, this is also what I think, they are pursuing the task given by the owner of the house in the sense that it is a job that will give them wages and that means there is a big responsibility when the working hours are not finished or the meaning of their work is not finished, I think there is nothing  wrong for us to put aside first about what advice should be given to the person playing the slot, because there are other things that the homeowner should do, namely reprimand first because they are on working hours and have responsibility for their work. But it seems that the situation there is not as professional as we think, which ultimately does not make the homeowner take issue with this.

Leaving it is a good decision if they don't know each other, because if you advise him or suggest him to switch to other types of gambling such as sports then maybe they will think that you are one of those people who are too interfering with other people's business. On the other hand, what I know is that usually someone who is familiar with gambling they don't  just gamble in one place, I mean not just in one type of gambling and that means that it is possible that the person is also often involved in sports betting if indeed the owner of the house often sees him watching soccer matches and what you said makes sense that most likely while there  he happened to be trying his luck in the type of slot gambling, so your statement is quite reasonable and possible.

To me it sounds rather like a made-up story, to be honest.


That is exactly what I thought, and when the OP replied to you he left out what was in bold. No way if I'm paying someone to do a job for me, be it cleaning or whatever, when I see them gambling I'm going to hesitate if I recommend another type of gambling. What I'm going to tell him is to get to work or I'm going to fire him. As I said, it sounds pretty much like a fabrication to me.

So it runs around your neighborhood with online betting. I do know a lot of people who are into it and have seen players that do slots. They are hooked to it. I wonder why he doesn't know because if he is a gambler, it would've occurred somehow to take advantage of what he knows. It should've been taking advantage as much as you can.

Don't forget to say a disclaimer that it could be a risky one and could lose or be done for or something.

In my opinion this is quite a tricky question. On the one hand you are right and if this young man has a good understanding of sports, it gives him some advantage in sports betting. But maybe he plays slots not to earn money, but just to satisfy his passion for gambling. Maybe sports betting doesn't bring as much emotion to this person as slots do. If I were in your shoes, I would stay away with advice, because the best advice I've ever heard is don't advise anything to others.

Do you know the implication of teaching him sport bet have you also find out if he is not a gambling addicts before you introducing him to sport bet and go worsen his problems, most times people might suffering for a particular thing and you may introduced them something else before you knew it you worsen their condition where they could find it too hard to come out of that condition. Gambling is bad and you want to introduce him to another way of gambling meaning you are increasing and doubling his problem to keep losing more money when he tries both side of gambling. In my opinion i wouldn't want you to tell him anything because if he keeps undergoing lost you could be hold responsible for showing him that method of gambling.

But if I may ask, how is this your problem? Why you creating problem for yourself where there's none? Well, if I happen to be in your situation, I will absolutely mind my business and allow him to focus on what works for him. You said he watch football and knows about many teams. It shows that he knows about sport betting but deliberately turning away from it for a reason best known to him. Gambling is a thing of personal choice and it's not ideal to pressure someone to do what you think is the best. You have no idea probably, he already tried sports betting in the past and it didn't work well for him. Watching football alone doesn't make you a good sport gambler.

Personally, I see it as an offense when you attempt to interfere in others gambling activities uninvited unless you have some close relationship with them. It can be difficult to know how someone will react when you try to talk to them about a sensitive issue like gambling and in this your case, it's not just normal discussion but you are trying to make him switch from his prefer choice of gambling. The best thing to do sometime is to leave things the way they are.

Just let him be, it would be always best that you shouldn't really be minding others business when it comes to the things that they are doing or getting involved with because on the time that they would messed up
then you are the main ones who would really be getting blamed. Is this something that you do really want to happen? Pretty sure i wont really be that a good thing or feeling that you could really be able to
get. This is why it would be always best that you should really that know on how to make yourself not trying out to get involved with other peoples lives. Its not bad to share up some things
on which it would really be that giving out that kind of excitement inside about sharing up something into others but we know that people are naturally be having that kind of behavior on which
blaming out when something goes wrong.

lol i see the point. i would let him be as well. unless i see the guy is into Bitcoin then we have something in common and probably i can sell him BTC and real cash for me.

he must have some idea about sports betting he just didn't go into that. slots are easier and earn money right away than having to withdraw from a betting platform and process with exchanges to turn it into cash.

I am curious to know why he is playing slots when he is supposed to be cleaning  ::) anyway, i will simply mind my business in a situation like this since the young man isn't complaining. I have seen people who love Watching matches and even have few knowledge about some football  teams yet are very terrible sport bettors. In spite of the knowledge they have about the sport, yet they never make wins from them. Therefore, watching matches is not a guarantee that a person will be good at predictions. Gambling is a delicate lifestyle, hence  we need  to be very careful of the recommendations We give to the next person so they do not ruin their lives while following our recommendations. If he feels he is good, he doesn't need any push to venture into sports betting since he is already a gambler.

Cases like these are complicated, as you might think that by talking to him about gambling you would be helping him, but after listening to you he starts to become very confident that he can win without any problems and starts to bet with all the money he wins. of the small jobs he does in people's homes and then starts to have many consecutive losses to the point of losing everything and will start to blame you for recommending sports bets to him. unfortunately in this world, when people are losing a lot, when they are desperate due to many failures they are having in their lives, then they always try to blame someone

in their minds to escape the blame, it's easier for people when they're losing to blame other people than to blame themselves and fix the losses they had, in my opinion you should just watch this guy who comes to do work for you, I think that he must have his reasons for playing games that depend on luck, don't tell him anything about sports betting. Normally, people who have been following sports always tend to find out about sports betting. By that I mean that sooner or later, this guy who did work at your house, eventually he will find out about sports betting on his own, let him find out on his own

It is clear that the person you are talking about is really unprofessional at work and unfaithful to friends, because other people are working, while he himself is just sitting relaxed with his cellphone in his arm while pressing spin. And obviously when I meet someone who behaves like that, I immediately reprimand him and ask him to join the others to work together to clean the house. I don't blame him for his gambling activities, because obviously I also like gambling, it's just that the difference is that I know when to play and when not to, whereas he doesn't at all.

Because working hours should be used to focus on the responsibilities and tasks he is carrying out. In addition, gambling during working hours can cause distractions, affect performance and can be considered unethical. So it is very important to set time limits and maintain self-discipline, so that the gambling activities carried out do not disrupt the balance of life and work. And we should be wiser by continuing to maintain a balance between work and entertainment.

We all love a good thrill, right? That's why we dig sports. The competition, the unexpected plays, the chance to see our team pull off an underdog victory – it's like a rollercoaster ride, but with the potential to win some cash on the side.

Now, I'm not saying ditch the slots entirely (although, your wallet might thank you later). But what if you guys mixed things up? Catch a game together, grab some beers, and throw down a friendly little bet. You can explain the odds, the strategies, the whole shebang in a way that's fun and informative. Who knows, he might just discover the excitement of outsmarting the bookies instead of chasing Lady Luck on those spinning reels.

You can try to introduce him to sport bettings, that is left on him to have his decision made and choose between what he wants, but I can assure you that in gambling, there's no preference on winning with a particular game than the other, everyone is just taking the risk of possible luck through anyone of them that we play, so what you want may be quite different from mine, same also lies in our ability in gambling which also determines how our performance turned to be, let him decide for himself, but you can give your own offer as well to let him know about sport bettings if he wants to make a try.

I think that if he already knows about slots (since he was playing them), he most probably already knows about sports betting. But if you extend a reason for conversation to him in some topic in that you both are interested, such as gambling, then you might find a new friend.  

But giving strangers gambling advice? That might not be a good idea, if I were to be completely honest. In fact, that might backfire on you.

When people lose money (especially in gambling), they try to find someone or something to blame (other than themselves, of course). Do you really want to give people a reason to blame you?

If i were you, I will not suggest playing sport betting to him because if that person is really a gambler, he surely knows about that thing. maybe he has his passion and it just happened that he prefer the slot game. it's just strange because you saw him playing a slot game even though he should be working, maybe what you should do is tell him about his work attitude and try to finish his work first before gambling so that his time and attention are not divided between thing he does.

I think the first thing here is how much you know about him. If you are so close to him and think you can share your idea of sport betting with him then you can give it a shot. I think most people would prefer playing what they understand very well. Gambling is mostly about experience and how often you get used to the games in Particular. Most people prefer sport betting especially soccer because of how much they love watching football. Since you said he also loves watching soccer and knows about teams then it's worth a shot and he may also like the idea.

Rather than suggesting sportsbetting right away talk to them about their gambling it's better if you can ignore them. Or if you can't  ignore them and your really want to join them with their gambling activity you could casually mention other ways to enjoy the sport, like joining a fantasy football league or discussing games with a group. Encouraging alternatives that involve less risk might be a good approach. I short don't let them get more involved into gambling.

I guess the person who was cleaning and betting ended up losing everything, it is not good to gamble why you are busy doing something .
As a gambler you have to gamble in your free time or when you are bored and not when you are busy doing something. Mostly at working hours.
This attitude of the cleaner makes me to think that the cleaner is a kind of person don't will always get distracted when he's working just because he might want to gamble.
Gamble is not run from anyone as you can gamble at midnight and anytime you are less busy.
OP trying to tell the cleaner what to do was just a suggestion for the cleaner to buy but it will be for the person to make his choice as I know that every gambler have a particular games that he's familiar with.

Footing the person's knowledge and experience with sports games as you said for the person to play slot games in the casino there are two reasons behind it.
I will answer your question as a gambler, I believe he is trying something new that didn't require analysis but based on luck and experience maybe because he didn't have time to analyze the game that will be that day or his sports betting loss lately and he decided to try something new for luck.

Nevertheless, you can try to talk to him about try sport bet just to conform and you'll see that what I said is true.

I don’t mean to rude but you should not be meddling in other people’s business. What’s it to you if he’s into slots and not sports betting? If I were in that situation, I would mind my business and behave as if I have no idea that they are gambling unless you both have a close relationship.

I bet on football matches more than I play slot games. This is because I’m a huge football fan and I watch all the top leagues, I know the players and the teams so it’s easy to make predictions on what team is going to win. But even at that, I still have a lot of losses because football can happen.

From the information you gave above, we are talking about two things, one of which is that he likes playing slots, and you want to introduce him to football betting. What I will say is that not everyone is that fine with betting as an opinion to make some extra money, and if you even introduce him to betting and he starts winning and gets addicted, what will you end up telling him? He might take football as just for fun and happiness, although everyone wants money, and we know that money is an essential part of life, but if it goes wrong for the guy, he will have no enemies less than you because he will completely believe that you are one of the people who have an interest in loving football just to collect the small money that he has been gotten for a long time and use his brain to scam him, claiming you want to introduce him to betting.


If I were the one in your shoes, I would never approach him with such an intention to just do sports betting, but when he talks to me about sports betting, I will definitely know that he has an interest in joining, so I will introduce him and give him effective guidelines in order not to get addicted to gambling because this is one of the biggest mistakes that you may be making, which is one of the things that make other people disregard betting as a legit scheme.

Just like on what others been saying into this situation or some earlier post that it s better that you should really be letting someone be able to discover for themselves about into those things that you are interested on sharing up on which it would be best if they are the ones who would really be that able to discover those things on their own rather than on making  yourself that trying out to introduce new things into him
on which we know that it cant really be just that be avoided that on the time that he would be messing up his finances or suffer much losses, then it cant be that shocking that you
are the ones who would really be getting blamed.

This is something that i dont really like and this is why i do skip out on making suggestions into other people because i dont really like on getting blamed
on the time that they would be messing up. It is really just that you cant really be able to avoid people on having those impressions
because this is where you would be something spotting out first to those people who do introduce those things which causes for you to suffer problems.

Why do you think he is not already familiar with sports betting? As some other members said, watching games and predicting the outcome of the games are two different things. So maybe he tried it, but he is more into slots than betting on sports... and maybe, just maybe, he had more luck with slots than with sports betting. I guess there are many possibilities, but what you can do is to openly talk with him  (if you consider you can talk openly with him), in that discussion, you can mention your thinking and you will probably learn more about this guy and what he likes more.

Simply said, some people are open to talking and discussing gambling, some are not... If you really want to talk with that guy about your & his gambling habits & activities you can try, but don't force it.

Everyone has their own pleasure in gambling and if you look at your story, you are currently in Indonesia and indeed until now Indonesian people prefer slot or lottery games because most people in my area still play this game because they are more fixated on it. Live games (played at that time) are different from betting in a sportsbook where you have to wait.

As for what needs to be done, actually, I think it can still be introduced, it's just that when you look at the tendency of the majority of people who play, they always like to play right away and even though they wait, they don't want to take too long, it's most possible, like lottery, which has a slightly longer shelf life, so I don't think so. I'm sure that sportsbooks will be an option but it also depends on the person because until now I also prefer playing sportsbooks but the friends I know who have a hobby of gambling prefer slots and lottery because they think it's more fun.

You know, no matter what kind of gambling it is, it's all the same; you will still lose money from it, and it depends on the amount you bet or use. That's the amount you will lose. For example, if you have $100 in capital or funds, even if you are playing slots, you could possibly lose that capital, and also in sports, you can lose that capital in one bet or one game. The difference is how you will lose it. In slots, maybe you will spend a lot of time and try before you lose all the capital, while in sports betting, even in one bet, you could lose it all. So I don't think introducing sports betting will help him a lot, maybe at some point, because, as you've said, he likes watching football, but that doesn't mean he has the edge to keep winning in sports betting. In short, slots and sports betting are the same gambling games, and at the bottom line, you will still lose money from them. But it's good character to be concerned about other gamblers.

Truly impossible,eh? If someone who is playing gambling specially on slots or casino games then most likely a certain individual does really know or been wary about sports betting on which there are only two types of possible gambling games which strategic and pure luck based ones on which this is pertaining into those casino games and to those betting and playing cards type of games on which we know that as a gambler then it is hard to believe that someone isnt really that wary of.

I may have caught a little of what you said, what you mean is that instead of playing slots where the money runs out quickly and cannot be played with predictions, then your intention arises to tell them to just switch to sports betting. Actually, there is nothing wrong if you encourage them to gamble on soccer betting, but each person is different in choosing the game, slots can give you money quickly and can also lose money in a matter of hours. But betting on football will take a long time and it could be that they don't like such games, I assume they already know there is sports betting because there is no way they don't know because they love football and they are also gamblers.

But if you want to try advising them, go ahead, maybe they really don't know about football betting. because actually there is nothing wrong if we advise people in choosing a game, it's just that what you shouldn't do is force them to follow your wishes.

You can talk about gambling with each other, so you may mention sports betting and ask if he is aware about this gambling category. However, I don't think you need to introduce him to sports betting, anyway. Most gamblers betting on sports still lose, so you won't be making a great deal by introducing him to this modality justifying it's going to bring profitability, while slots machine isn't. There is even some risk he will complain and blame you if he loses, claiming you advised him to bet on sports because it was better, although he still lost money on it (because of you).

If it was a solid earning or job opportunity, I would highly advise you to share it with the man, but since it's not the case, let him play what he considers to be more entertaining for him. If slots is being enjoyable for him and can give him a relieving break from the daily burden, let him be.

The gambler should understand the game before start to play,most of the casino games only allow the gamblers to make the winning amount of 2x of the deposit money.But after achieving the 2x value of the deposit money,the gambler get over confidence on their game,So this leads to the loss of the game.The majority of the people who like to play the slot games will do the Lottery for the jackpot in the gambling site.In many countries the lottery was banned,So the gamblers had a chance to buy the lottery in the digital form and use the gambling site for the same.The sports betting was based on the skills of the gamblers in that sports.

Personally, I'd just bring it up in a conversation and see if it sticks or if it is a topic of interest to him in order to first hear about his experiences with sports betting (if any). In my experience, anyone who plays slot is already aware of sports betting but still chose slots out of preference. It is only during our conversations that I would make suggestions if it turned out that he isn't aware of sports betting.

In cases like this, I'll avoid appearing pushy and persuasive because if things turn out badly if he takes my advice, I'll be at the receiving end of the game. That's why you should apply caution to cases like this.

It’s never wrong to introduce him to sportsbetting since you also see his potentials in sports. At the end of the day, it’s still his decision if he will decide to take risk in sportsbetting. The thing is, if you encourage him to play in sportsbetting, you might be held responsible for his future losses someday. So just leave him wherever his passion is, after all as long as it’s gambling, it’s always a matter of luck to win.

No one should be advised to bet on gambling or slots or dice whatever. If he bets as per my instructions, if he loses at any stage, he will file all charges against me. So for the time being gambling, you should not advise any gambler on what to do or where to bet. No matter what advice you give to the gambler, he should be allowed to bet where he feels comfortable. If he had bet like you said and if he lost the bet he would have put the blame entirely on you. I don't think it's reasonable to suggest you let each bet at his own risk.

Addiction is not the only problem OP may be causing for that person by trying to influence his gambling habits. OP may as well be handing out financial advice to strangers, he is putting himself in a position where he will be held responsible if the guy starts sport betting and loses more money than he does on slots.
If you believe gambling is bad, then why are you wearing the signature of a casino? I think that’s very hypocritical of you.

Give him a word about what sports betting is but also consider that many people find sports betting to be stressful  and would rather not spoil their experience watching their favorite teams and their league because of this.
We have to be understanding to each other's desires and needs.
Most people that gamble today are well aware of how it's possible for them to bet on sports also, the ads for it are everywhere anyway, and it's the biggest gambling market in most places too.


So in my case at least, most people that were going to get into sports betting have realized how to do it. It's kind of reaching its peak actually and many sports gamblers are getting into other games now; at least in my experience.

We gotta be real here - pushing someone from slots to sports betting ain't exactly an upgrade. ;) Sure, sports betting takes some skill if you know your stuff but at the end of the day it's still just gambling.  No matter how many stats you crunch, you cant ever fully control those outcomes. 

And I know you mean well trying to look out for your buddy, but getting all preachy rarely helps in these situations.  If you're truly worried about their habits, maybe just talk to them straight up without judgment.  Get curious about why they gamble so much in the first place and  creating a safe space for open conversation - that's the move. 

Who knows, maybe together you can get to the deeper reasons they wanna chase those betting highs.  And if they don't wanna talk about it, well, you did your best.  Just gotta let some folks come to their own conclusions in their own time.  I know it aint easy watching someone struggle though.

There is no point introducing the football gambling to the gambler. Obviously, he is a gambler and before now he has heard about sports gambling i don't think it is new to him. He only chose to gamble in slots of which he feels he knows best on how to gamble. The only time it is necessary to introduce the sports gambling to him is perhaps a situation where you will have to predict spirts bet and give to him to bet on.

The best thing to do is to only ask him if he gamble on sports. Then you will hear his reply, maybe yes or no. If no, then you can ask him if he knew about it or why does he prefer other gambling options to sport gambling. On the other hand, he can give you good reasons and also show you more gam bling games that can be very affordable. You know we gamblers are always looking for sure bets and ways that we would have more wins than loss.

We all know, at the end of the day, slot games will just run out of all their money if they don't withdraw profits when they get a big win or hit the Jackpot.
I also play slot games like Domino Higgs Island quite a lot and of course spend about $10 on one play and sometimes get a lot of profit when I'm lucky, but in the end will just run out of everything, But this is purely just entertainment for me and indeed do not expect profit.

But when you see someone do it very often, and you also see them a lot.
Suggesting that game betting is the right decision, but you also don't have to force you to just try to tell them,
rather than just spending $10 that doesn't get any profit.

Moreover, they understand about the world of football, this will be a good opportunity to start getting profits from betting games.

it's not wrong if you want to tell the person to a game that might be more profitable for them. However, try having a more in-depth dialogue and discussion first, why does he like playing slots? to win or just for fun as @taufik123 said.
If he's just playing for fun, let him be, and if by playing slots he wants to win, give him education about sport betting that you know.

giving advice to others is good but not at risk.
I don't know for sure who the people you mean are your family, you know it's just other people, but still gambling is a risky activity and there is no need to recommend it to other people, even if that person is a gambler. you don't need to give advice to try to bet on the same sports betting has the same risks as slot games.
the reason I say like this is quite easy for you to understand if you give advice to someone else and he even though he has knowledge in sports but when betting he uses the amount of $ 10 and finally the weak team wins like a surprise in just a short time the bet loses and you will be blamed when he get defeated.
well, from what I have said, maybe you will understand better how to give advice to other people whether there will be a bad impact on yourself.

but there's no harm if you tell that person about your bets on sports and tell them about your wins without having to give advice on betting on sports.
so that people can decide for themselves where they should bet without having to give advice about risks like this.

You are from Indonesia I see
and since you here you might know that most of Indonesian people do like about slot I mean who doesn't with different User Interface and catching my eye or see pot of big prize still waiting to claim.

but yeah sports betting has a chance of winning but It doesn't catch the eye of players hahahha. Wouldn't that be an advantage for him? The real answer is just he just won while waiting catchy spinning from the kakek "Zeus"  8) :D

There is nothing wrong if you want to suggest him to try sports betting if you care about him, maybe a lot of money will be spent on slots, but if he is already addicted to slots, I don't think he will just stop doing it, he will keep doing it, but there is no harm in suggesting betting sports and stop playing slots because if you already have skills in sports and also like watching football then it is better to use it to get lucky, because slot games are very far from being profitable.

If I were in this situation I would do the same thing but if I knew the person but if I didn't maybe I would just let it go because it's his own business and I have no right to talk about his gambling. But if that happened to my friend or my brother, maybe I would advise him to try sports betting which is more profitable than playing slots.

I don't think that there would be an issue if you suggested sports betting to someone. The thing is, he may have enough knowledge of sports, but it doesn't mean that he will also be interested in sports betting. Some people prefer a specific game when it comes to gambling and even if you suggest it to them to try it out, they will always feel that the game is not fit for them. In the end, it's all about the person and whether he will consider your suggestion or not.

The fact that he's been gambling in an online casinos, he'd most probably knew about sports betting already but choose not to participate, instead he's doing slot as the results are instant.
But just to clear off your doubts on whether or not he knew about sports betting, ask him first if he already tried sports betting, then you'll start from what kind of response you've got from him.
But again, I presume he already knew that and he'd preferred gambling games with an instant result.

Slots can be considered as game of luck. Whereas sportsbetting can be considered as both game of luck along with game of skill. So in this type of situation, I will obviously prefer doing sports betting and here in case I will bet on football matches. Yes as a beginner, I might lose some matches, but with time and experience, I will reduce the losses and will make good amount of money. So yes definitely he should also go for sports betting.

Bro, mind your own business! That is what I will probably do. I don't think that the guy is ignorant enough to be playing slots and watching football and still not know that he can be betting on sports. The guy you explained would know, I am so sure of this. But in the avoidance of doubt, maybe you should investigate him first. Ask questions about his sports betting experience and you might be surprised about his responses about it. He may not just have an interest in playing sports betting or he is not playing it when you guys meet. Any which one it is, you can only know if you ask him directly and I do not see anything bad in that.

It is a matter of telling you yes or no. And if the answer is no, you can just ship in your sports betting advice, and emphasize on it that it is just a piece of advice, that you are just concerned about his betting as that one seems safer. So it is left to him to go for the advice or not, and you will be exonerated if he plays it and the outcomes are negative.

OP, what if this person wins more or let me say what if he gets more lucky with Slots than sports betting? People need to understand that we are beings with spirits in us, he might not be so lucky with sports bet and gets more lucky with slots game, for a beginner I will prefer to advice them to get involve in a gambling niche first and see how it goes for them.

Beginner should be free to test things out first and see which one will work best for them, you can never know which one will work better for you until you try, and maybe that Dice games that you have been running away from is where you will get most luck you don't know.

Many people don't want to accept that sports are all about luck too, which makes me to ask myself few times before that why are people losing a lot of money on sports bet then if its not a game of luck, no single form of gambling is safer, even if you stand on small odds you can still lose your money.

I quite agree with this, even doubling it to $20 is still not enough if playing on slots, lowering the base bet amount only gives us the opportunity to play slots longer but the chance of hitting something high on slots is sometimes not enough for that amount of money in my opinion.
Meanwhile, for sports betting, he can get quite good profits if he has good analysis and can also manage his bankroll well.
However, in gambling, nothing is certain, there is no definite profit and vice versa because emotions can sometimes interfere with what we have set, feeling that we will get a good profit so we increase the bet but the result is the opposite and trying to recover all of these losses is often something that disturbs gamblers consistent with what has been determined.

I won't introduce anything to him other than telling him to gamble with money he can afford to lose and not to do it while working.

I think what I'll do is to mind my business, introducing an individual to gambling isn't always the right decision as they can become addicted to gambling and waste all their money. Since he's already a gambler, this situation might be different as introducing him to sport betting could help him to win more if he's not doing very good at slot games but if he's winning don't make him change as that'll mean he'll have to start from the beginning in a new environment

Sport betting can be very addictive therefore if the individual you want to introduce to sport betting doesn't have self discipline, it's going to be an issue as he'll become addicted to gambling. Sport betting is one of the easiest games to play as you're depending on luck and your knowledge of the sport therefore if he doesn't know football don't introduce him to sport betting as hell lose all his money gambling.

Bear in mind that losing possibility does exist in both slot and sports betting, there is no guarantee of winning in both type of game although sports betting give better odds but still it depends on how you gamble. Suffer a complete loss may also happen in sports betting, it is all gambling where there is always a risk.

I will not suggest him anything as I do not want to jump into his personal activity too much. It is his own choice or preferences on what games to play. If he like slots, why he should play other games? How if you are the one who like to play slot games and then someone suggest you to play other games?

I would leave him minding his own business.Of course if I saw him losing money dramatically and not just 10 dollars I would intervene and tell him to stop and know your odds.He would be probably surprised by this statement and I would be explaining him further that to know your odds in slot machines is easy,for example one slot provider like No Limit City offer to show the number of spins needed for a max win,usually 15 million spins.That shows chances are really low so please don't play slots anymore.

To be honest, both slots and soccer game are games of luck, I just like that the casino isn't in control of the soccer matches, it depends on the performance of the footballers, this make it feels more exciting compare to Slots games that's from casinos, provably fair? We really can't say.

@Nrcewker, you consider sports betting a game of skill, are you the one playing on the field? That's a no, so you can't call this a game of skill if you are not the one in total control, can you count how many times your favourite sport club have disappoint you?

Ask yourself why it's then very hard to win when betting on sports? I know not one but more people that have been betting on sports for years, since college days and they don't make any significant amount that could do anything life changing for them, it's completely a game of luck still.

Slots are game of luck, random and script. But soccer or sports are games of skill and a lot depends from the situation. To play slots, you dont need any special skill to have, you dont need any special chair to sit on for example, special mouse or finger to click on spin. With sports it is different, gambler might have special skills to evaluate situation on the field, predict possibility of a goal in football for example, if one of the teams are pushing. I might say that slots is more simple way of gambling, while sports betting require attention, concentration at least. So in situation like OP has, when someone is gambling lightly, going and trying to drag into more complicated gambling, might be not the best.

Slot games can actually make more money from Jackpots, in contrast to sports betting which only offers betting opportunities that are not too big so it is difficult to get a lot of money in an instant from sports betting, that's probably why many people still enjoy playing slot games. because slot games can allow people to win a lot of money instantly, but the chances are not much, of course they get very little compared to the losses they get in slot games.

Every gambler definitely has his or her own preferences, as we know, someone might prefer slot games and we like to bet on sports betting, it's hard to get someone to try a game that we often play because basically a habit won't just change easily, in general. Personally, I once tried to invite someone to bet on sports betting and explain that sports betting makes more sense than slot games but instead I was ignored by him, sometimes we also have to understand that what makes us happy cannot possibly make other people happy and vice versa.

What you say is exactly right buddy, it is true that this slot is a type of game that is purely about luck, there is absolutely nothing like a way or strategy that can make you win because for the problem of winning there always depends on how lucky you are at that time, as you say there is absolutely no skill needed and gamblers can only surrender and wait for what the results are at the end of the session, so gambling with the aim of having fun and relieving boredom in the middle of leisure time is really more advisable if you are involved in this type of gambling like slots.

There is obviously a difference between slot gambling and sports betting, you have said what is needed if you are involved in sports betting, knowledge, understanding and also skills are very useful for analyzing a team that will / is competing, but honestly in sports betting I will not rule out the aspect of luck because in any gambling luck is still very important to determine the final result, even though for example you have very good knowledge and skills but still you will not be able to predict who will win at the end of the match with 100% accuracy, of course anything is still very possible there.

How long have they clean your house? and they are cleaner so How come that you manage them Watching Football? they are not working? because aside from watching football they are also gambling infront of yours while having a task?

is this a made up story?

who are you to say that? in gambling it is luck that will make us win so why knowing what is best for Him?

do your thing and  let the man gamble.
if I am in the situation ? I will do my life and let the man do hers .

The person's choice is very crucial above any suggestions or form of advice you may want to offer thinking it's in the person's best interest is the person is still not interested,and prefers that which he's used to gambling, then I don't think you will na able to convince him to change that which he's more comfortable with.  His choice still remains what will make more sense to him then any other suggestions even when he's got better knowledge of what he's been introduced to.

We have to be careful suggesting something to someone because if it turns south they will want to throw blames at us for ever introducing them to such a thing but then it's not out of place to introduce them anyways they can choose to do it or not.

You are both right. Slots games qre all about luck and there is no form of tactics in it.
However there are other games like the football game that have some slite strategy that gamblers can apply to it, but the strategies can not also work without the help of luck.
So I guess one can not win a single round of bet without the help of luck attached to it. But most gamblers who are putting their minds or hopes in the strategies that they are applying in their bets thinks that their strategies are what is making them to win any time they won a bet but that's not true because your strategy is just like your instincts but when your instincts are not correct the whole things will be wrong, so luck is what makes gamblers to win and not the tactics.

I see nothing wrong suggesting that person to switch to sports betting as you see that he can profit there more based on your explanation. If he had the skills, he would profit more on sportbetting as slot heavily rely on luck and not is something that you can't have everyday. Sportsbetting is better given that there are strategies to be used and ofcourse the knowledge of the bettor on the game he is betting.

Though if I am on your situation, I won't bother that guy. I just let him stick on what he is doing. I don't want to be blamed if something bad happened because of the sports betting I recommended. I also think that guy knows what sportsbetting is, with so much advertisement over the internet and television, I'm sure he encountered one.

That's also what I'm afraid of. If anything goes wrong like he got into it and strays not just into sports but because every platform does have casino games, he will eventually play the slots or roulette on the casino or even the live games.

But I would probably like to hear his comments on sports like his bets and most likely share my winnings with him once his bets are right. A personal tipster on my own seems a nice idea.  :D

I think he knows better than you do and may have tried it before he started playing slot, I'm sure he is also aware of sports betting because he is a gambler, he is a gambler he will play in a game where he is comfortable or where he will likely win, you may ask him but don't encourage him by just mentioning he will get the idea because he is a gambler he will know what you're trying to imply, a gambler understand a gambler's language


He knows better than you do, in my case I will never intrude on what my fellow gambler wants to do unless he asks for my advice and my guidance., I respect my fellow gambler's decision I may recommend but I'll be doing it in a subtle way, not in a way that I know better than he does

I'm going to agree with your idea because there's nothing wrong with suggesting something and one of them is to suggest that the person switch to sports betting, because it could be that he doesn't know about sports betting at all and just likes sports, and with the advice of others then maybe it's a good choice for him to start switching with the skills along with the understanding that he has because by having good enough skills then this will make them closer to the possibility of winning. I think however that slot gambling is one of the gambling that should not be taken too seriously, because you have also said it and it is a fact that all the winnings that are there are purely dependent on luck, and this situation makes more people experience a large number of losses when they experiment excessively because it is not easy to always be in a lucky situation.

Although sports betting is a better bet than slots considering the risks are much greater but sometimes it cannot be denied that the possibility of "accusations" can still be a possibility, and this is what I always worry about when I try to advise someone to get involved in gambling, because after all sports betting is still gambling which means that the name of risk cannot be completely avoided and as you said that what is worried is the possibility of those who can blame us when they lose, so maybe avoiding giving advice or anything is the best choice for us.

I'd say to do the cleaning job first before anything else. If I'm paying them to clean then they need to be honest with their jobs and finish it first before doing some bets.

And then, after that, when the job is done then I'd highly talk about how he started to gamble and what his preference aside from that.

If my words stick to him then if we meet again, we'll talk about what has happened whether he has listened or not.

I get the point that you are trying to help him but that won't give you the right to dictate the person on what will he enjoy the most. As you have mentioned, you knew he is familiar with sports but why did he still choose playing slots? There are possible reasons; more convenience given that a game would only cost him fee minutes, or he just enjoy it more. Also, either of the two games mentioned won't give you assurance for a positive outcome 'coz there will always be risk of losing. Well, indeed analysis work in sportsbetting but will it be enough? 'coz if we would look on a brighter perspective both games has its own risk we would be embracing the moment we placed our bets. Nothing's on advantage or disadvantage as long as the gambler himself knows what he is doing and is enjoying his time of gambling.
Tactics and strategies will only help you to lessen the risk of losing but will never make winning certain. Everything's dependent with luck; underdogs can win too. Even the most unexpected could still happen in a single snap. Everything's part of the game.


We have our own ways of enjoying this industry. In some instances, sharing our way to ither people would be better, but there are also instances that it won't be. Rather than thinking if our suggestion would help them, I think it is better to ask him first if you are too concerned of his choice of gambling game. We're all adults and we have our own choice of what we know would be good for us.

This is rather awkward for a thread if you ask me but all the same since it's about gambling then I will chip in my little thought to the supposed story. For starters I don't like meddling in people gambling habits because referring people to another field of gambling might actually just end the person even if you feel the person has all the ability and knowledge to excel in the particular type of gambling you want to introduce to him. Sports betting or any other type of gambling goes way beyond the thought of  just having the knowledge about the teams sometimes all those statistics doesn't matter as the main factors will still be mellowed down to LUCK

Since he is into gambling already, I will introduce him to sports betting. Otherwise, I don't advocate that people should be taught or introduced to gambling due to the uncertainty that characterizes gambling.

Information is key in sports betting and so it takes a sports enthusiast to make good predictions. Fortunately, the person in question has a passion for football and so introducing him to sports betting means doing him good. I think he will record more wins in sports betting compared to playing slots if he is properly guided.

In as much as they all requires luck to win a bet, introducing him to sport betting would be a better option rather than him just playing slot. But you advising him should also give him full details about the gambling, so you'll not present it as though sport gambling is a sure way of making money. Because most person make the mistake of emitting the part were they experience loss, and only share their wins, and by so doing, the other person might feel it's another easy way to make money and by the time he ventures into sport gambling, they find something else other than what they have been told.

The thing is that you are not 100% sure that he will win the sports bets if he staked on it rather than taking on the slot that he already has knowledge and experience in because just watching football alone does not make one a professional football speculator and analysts,  this is because there is a big difference between the two and winning a bet.
So if I were in your situation, I would rather allow the guy to enjoy his time in gambling and wait until he asks for help and I only will try to open his eyes to what the chances of winning are in sports bets rather than slot as suggested.

it depends, I mean, if I am close to the person I might bring the topic up if he starts talking about gambling or if a chance presents itself but if I barely know the person I'll just let him be. also, if the guy is showing symptoms of gambling problems I won't recommend him anything that involves gambling, that's like adding fuel to the fire.

What if he's currently on a winning streak? You can't convince that guy to switch on sports betting if he's currently on the winning side.

Just let him have his fun and don't interfere even in the long run we all know he will lose. What if he able to cashout all his winnings from before?


Introduce might not be a good term for it but rather just tell him in a simple way that, you found him a fan of football, why not try sports betting?

If you introduce him to sports betting, it's like pushing him to do it. Let him decide based on his interests.

Not all sports fans are fans of sports betting anyway.

Initially playing for fun and to fill spare time, but over time with the more often they play, this will become an addiction that will be difficult to get rid of.

In fact, I saw some of my friends play with quite a lot of money that used to buy chips without caring how much was spent.
This has crossed the line of course.

Education about sports betting also needs to be balanced with an understanding of how they bet and not just choosing team A or B,
but there will be analysis that needs to be done.
As well as management for betting must be done so that the use of money can be more controlled.

I'm sure he's already aware of sports betting because he loves sports and I'm sure he's heard of sports betting but what he still plays is slots, your decision is right to let that go but you mentioned that you often meet for other activities right, maybe it's not bad to ask if he knows anything about sports betting, if he doesn't know, never mind, but if he knows something at least a little bit, ask him and tell him what you want to tell him. That's the signal to start a topic about sports betting I think.

There is not really any reason to do anything, this person already knows about casinos, online gambling and how to do this on their smartphone, if they wanted to make sport bets they would do so, and it is even likely that they have made those bets before anyway.

So just leave him alone, since there is not really any reason to try to meddle and interfere with his hobbies, especially since they have not asked for your advice on the matter.

Yep, of course I would recommend him if I knew for sure about his abilities like that. The form he is playing is also a form of betting, but it seems to have a more element of chance than sports betting - where he has knowledge. Maybe your work will help him a lot, because sports betting can use personal knowledge to make more accurate predictions. I don't know what you're hesitating about that you haven't introduced to him yet, so you have to ask for opinion here? Whether you are scaring that you will lead him into another gambling path, aren't you?

I believe that person will also know about follow betting, but really that is their own story, I like to let things go in the direction that person comes to without being influenced by anyone. And if you can feel that person through your referral, then they lose more, then you will be partly at fault. Therefore, it is not recommended for newcomers to come to gambling when they really do not have much basic knowledge about it, the field they are knowledgeable about but not too proficient in because this is gambling, it is not just simple predicting results for newbies. And as I expressed from the beginning, it's entirely possible that that person also knows if he really wants to play it.

The person may be attracted to the slot game due to which he is participating in the slot game. But of course you should have convinced the guy about sports betting. Since you said he is good at sports, surely he can predict some matches and bet from sports betting. Slot is a game based entirely on luck and no one can make money from this game so of course if I were here I would show him sports betting and explain it to him.

Giving advice can indeed be quite useful, after all sports betting will be much easier than casino games but when giving advice you must also provide guidance that there are still risks that he will accept.
The goal is that when he loses he doesn't blame us for giving him the advice to enter sports betting, we don't want to be blamed for the loss he gets.
Not all gamblers can accept defeat and if gambler mindset is really bad then obviously he will blame the third and first party for the loss, if not us then the gambling site will be the one to blame.

Of course, knowledge and experience are very useful in sports betting and these two factors can influence the results of the predictions made and when experience and knowledge are collaborated to create predictions, we can have betting predictions that have chance of winning.
It doesn't guarantee winning but it can increase your chances, it will be much better than betting just by guessing and we can be more confident in the predictions we are betting on.

People who like to watch football matches and have knowledge about many teams does not mean that they are also good in analyzing and predicting. If the knowledge is just limited to basic thing such as which players are good or bad and something similar. It will be hard for these people to jump into sports betting, we all know that there are many people in this world who love to watch football matches but not all of them is good on sports betting. All in all, it is about preferences on what game to gamble our money.

That's correct and this is the point I was also trying to make when I commented on this thread the last time. This individual already knows everything about gambling as that's how gamblers do. It could be he has tried  many types of gambling but wasn't successful and only slot games are working for him. Don't disturb him by telling him to try sport betting, what will you do for him if he tries it and become addicted that he starts gambling irresponsibly and loses his money.

Before the individual is playing only slot games, it would be that it's what he understand better as we gamblers always play only games that we think we're good at and have a higher chance of winning. No individual will see a game that he doesn't know how to play and start gambling on the games. Teaching anybody how to gamble doesn't end well as you'll be the one to take all the blame for their losses.

I agree with you, because there are not a few people who gamble like this. maybe at first they saw their friends gambling and got a win but they just saw it without being interested, but when they were alone and bored they might think of the gambling they did, and with the aim of filling their spare time they did gambling with the beginning just for trial and error, but usually the beginning of gambling will get a win whose purpose is to attract them to be more confident to continue gambling, and this is what makes them addicted to gambling, which was originally just trial and error but became addicted.

I think that with the actions taken by your friend,  they tend not to think about the risk side, maybe they only think about fun games as well as profitable ones, so they can spend a lot of money to buy chips just for one gambling session I agree with you, betting on sports must indeed be balanced because otherwise it is likely that it will only end in big losses.

It is true that many people like football but cannot make good predictions by watching football because predicting matches and liking the game are not the same. Sometimes it is very difficult to win by betting on sports betting. In some matches the team lost even though victory was assured. Still playing slot dice games is much better than betting on sports betting. Sometimes people with good knowledge about sports can participate in betting by researching the matches but sometimes not by analyzing the slot dice game.

That will always be the case. But it's important to remember that if someone follows another person's suggestion and the outcome doesn't meet their expectations, they shouldn't blame the person who made the suggestion. Ultimately, it was their own decision to act on the suggestion, and they wouldn't be in that situation if they hadn't made the decision themselves. The time when they can blame someone if something bad happens to them. For instance, if they are the ones making decisions about where to place bets or if they are the ones playing using your money.

True. Hard to imagine that a grown up man knows about gambling and casino, and wasnt familiar with sports betting. Specially nowadays, when we have casino ads everywhere, on tv, banners, unskipped ads on video hosting services and etc. On the other hand, giving an advice, or introduce something to someone, if you wasnt does not look good. It could be acceptable, if they had a conversation before. But OP only noticed someone playing slots and intended to give a suggestion. If someone approached me and talked about something that he spied or spotted, I would not be happy about it.

Nothing, I'm not a type of person who like to interfere what others do especially if I do not know them much.
It is not even your business, so why do you need to be so confused on what to do when you know that he is playing slot game?
Do you think that if you suggest him to play sports betting, will be something better for him?
Even if it is your own best friend, as long as he is enjoying what he does with slot, why do you need to introduce him about sports betting?
Maybe he is also gambling on sports already but you do not know about it, how if it is happened and he has better knowledge than you about sports betting?

Given your situation, I'd be curious but cautious. Introduce someone to sports betting, especially if they like sports, seems interesting and fascinating. His activity would be more exciting with it. Giving a painter new brushes adds dimension without affecting their interest.

Betting, whether on sports or slots, carries its own set of challenges, particularly financial ones. I would explain that sports betting involves strategy, luck, and game knowledge. Responsible gaming should be seen as entertainment rather than a source of money.

To gauge his passion and knowledge, I'd probably start a casual football conversation. Sports betting might replace slots if he's interested. I'd emphasize setting limitations and not expecting constant wins. Not to replace gambling, but to make the game more fun. Your advice may be a nice nudge toward a more joyful gambling experience since you see him often.

Yes of course because this is the real fact about games like slots, you don't need to bother to prepare a lot of strategies or ways because obviously this type of gambling only depends on luck and you have also said this, but honestly lately this type of game is increasingly popular and the population of people who gamble there is increasing, the unfortunate thing is that more of them are suffering a lot of financial problems due to the wrong approach to gambling which they think is easy to win when in fact it is not at all unless they are really lucky and this means that wins are more occasional and instead it is the losses that often dominate, I think in this case the problem is the excessive level of hope in something that runs without any certainty and guarantees and purely relies on luck alone.

So the bottom line in my opinion and my advice is that it's better to get involved in sports betting because as you said they can apply some analysis if they already have a good understanding of the world of sports and also with this then I'm sure that the level of defeat will not be too frequent and this can prevent you from losing a significant amount, And yes it is true that even if we have a very good knowledge in the world of sports but still this will not be able to fully bring us to victory, we must understand that after all this is still gambling which means that the final result cannot be fully predicted and that means you are right that luck still has a very important role to play for a determination at the end of the session whether you will win or lose, so don't be too confident and still use risk management.

What is your basis for suggesting to him that he would be better off betting on sports betting, while you don't know for sure what he is actually doing with his gambling. I mean this, there are many things we don't know, especially if gambling is someone's private domain. It could be that the person just wants to have fun playing slots, even though in reality the person is also betting on sports betting. Maybe at that time, by chance you saw him playing a slot game.
The opposite question is, how well do you know the person? Do you have good communication with each other, by getting to know each other? If so, maybe you can start discussing gambling, sports betting, even slot games. That way, at least you have an idea about the person and his gambling. In fact, you might even get gambling tips from him and share experiences. that way, it would be much better than you directly suggesting it.

If I tried to be in that situation, I would not interfere with his activities and gambling. yeah, as respect as part of his privacy. except, he welcomed me and chatted, especially if there was a discussion about gambling. in this way, we can exchange experiences. Moreover, I really like betting on football. This would be much better and more ethical than carelessly expressing opinions or suggestions, which would not necessarily be met with a good response.

I think sharing a gambling experience is still the same as introducing him to sports because he may still get curious with it and engage on it later on. And if he already knows it, it might still encourage him to play more especially if what we are sharing are only/mostly winning moments.

Sharing experience is different from simply bragging or story telling where the ones who does it usually didn't even experience what they are talking about. Though IDK, maybe some still does it. These people will feel bad if they tell truth about their gambling sessions, that they are mostly losing. But if you are not new in gambling, you will still know the truth about it.

Also, not all people are into betting with sports. For what reason? Only them could answer but to my understanding we do have our own preferences. Perhaps on my case; I am into online sportsbetting but I don't bet that much in football unlike with basketball leagues although I also watch football games and this is simply because of personal preference. Let us accept that we have our own ways in this gambling industry. What if he's the one to tell you the same thing? to play on casino games? What would you do? No matter how you reason out, things won't change unless the gambler himself choose to engage with his own initiative.

As others have said, nothing is guaranteed in gambling; no matter where you play, you would either lose or win in your bet regardless if you are really into it or not. No analysis will give you a hundred percent chance of winning the game. Also, not all are here for passion perhaps with the sports that they like; some are playing out of boredom and in those instances play n' go games are more likely to be played by them. Some people just don't want to involve their feelings in gambling such as with sportsbetting wherein some gamblers are becoming frustrated of their favorite team's lost even if without bet.

People may have their priorities. And just because you saw him play slots on his phone doesn't me he don't do sports betting. He might be much deeper into sports betting but we can't confirm it by seeing him for few minutes. Slots and Poker gambling are different than sports betting. Games based bet are engaging and are a good way to entertain in your spare time.
Unlike other form of gambling like slots, people don't spend a large time on sports betting and would be rather busy on watching matches live. Sports betting is something you can do easily within a minute on the site if you are following the teams and trends.

If they are doing their job well the way you want it, you need to mind your business because, maybe they are using that cleaning job to gamble and to pay other bills that will help them to live a free live in the environment and there are some people who don't show up as a gamblers base on some family they came from.

There are some people the moment you tell them about what you saw them doing at the working place, they will start avoiding you for some reason because, their minds will be thinking different things that will make them to be far from you even though you have some job for them to do for you

if they are on the job, yes, better finish first what you paid for. then, maybe, after the day is over, that's when you can talk with them about this another activity involving sportsbetting. because if you will talk to them while the day is not over, it means, you are not very strict with the work they need to be done, and won't get the results you want. but of course, you can make friends with them after work.


that is true, don't introduce sportsbetting right away. check the pulse first. throw something related to sports in your conversation, and see what kind of interest he will give to you. in time, you will know more about his passion and interest. slots may be too easy on him because you don't have to think about it. but when it comes to sportsbetting, you need more analysis time and if you have the interest to acquire more info to improve your chances. you won't know the extent of his interest up until you spend more time with him. and that is for you to consider if you have such time that you can allocate for him.

Sometimes gamblers can care about others, as a means of sharing information. The only weird thing is that Op is getting obsessed about the encounter or intro he shared with his friend. Though such discussions mostly end void, as you said. Because the difference is not much between soccer or slot games. Which may have led the gambler to slots, despite his vast knowledge of sports. Some gamblers, however, accepts the thought that sport gambling is profitable than slot games. Yet come out to argue that gambling is not profitable. They wouldn't have been need for slot players to exist if the sport game is quite a better source of money in gambling. Most people prefer playing slots because they don't understand fully well about the match. Sports gambling is very passionate. People gamble out of passion for a specific team.

One reason sport gambling is much difficult compared to slots. A football fan focuses on few factors as team possessive values. Who plays for which team. Those assumptions don't result to a sustainable reason to wager money on the team. It's better the person stays playing slots where he gambles out of luck. And possess less time to invest, looking up for team statistics before gambling. A slot player only bothers about his duration and money he wagers, while he enjoys the game win or loss. But the football type of gambling leaves the gambler almost worried and hyperactive, when watching the game and sober if they lose the match. Such feelings are not preferable for a gambler. Slot players who behave this way would easily get addicted, same as the football gambler. People only think that the slot game has more of addicts than sports gambling. Yet they're both gambling activities, which still revolves around the general rule of self-control and money management. Both offers high winning possibilities.

It's better to mind your own business and not be pointing people to new situations where they will end up losing money. If someone has stumbled across the ability to gamble money on slots, they're most definitely already aware that gambling on sports is a possibility and maybe they have chosen the casino already. At least with slots they get to eek out their money, but sports betting is pretty much a single win or lose scenario. It's a bit silly to suggest that they are unaware that they can bet on sports and maybe they have tried it in the past then decided on casino games. Either way, people who are cleaning should probably not be wasting money on this when they are probably stuck in a low paid job already and will end up wasting money on it.

Just as a part of a friendly discussion, I will mention sports betting to him but not to the point that I will push him to do so. Based on your story, it seems that he's already been involved in gambling for a long and surely he knows about sports betting already.

Maybe it's just that he feels lucky playing in slots compared to sports betting even though he has a good knowledge of football. Even if you see him always watching football games, it doesn't mean these types of people are compatible right away in sports betting.

Knowledge is an advantage but you are playing with the odds in sports betting. It's not that simple.

The sports bet was considered to be the easiest one because of the prediction made using the sports knowledge.But the sports betting can be used to stake for the longer period to earn huge from it.The risk was always in the gambling whether it’s the sports betting or casino doesn’t matter.The gamblers who play the casino game should understand the game can’t give you huge profit,the maximum amount of the profit can be achieved by the gamblers will be the amount of 2x of their initial investment to the game.But the gamblers get more confidence after the double of their investment using their game in the gambling site.

I am a little harsh when giving advice to someone. So when I find someone who behaves like that, I will immediately reprimand him and curse him a little. because he really can't act professionally at work. Moreover, this is team work, where when the team works, everyone must work together without exception. And if indeed he cannot control his gambling well and cannot work professionally. So there are only two choices, stop gambling or you will be fired from this job.

Because someone who is wise knows exactly when it is time to gamble and when it is not. They know exactly what is a priority and what is just entertainment. And we must remember that whether gambling is good or bad depends on who is doing it. I will never forbid an employee or worker from being involved in gambling, but provided that they have good discipline and time management.

Even yet, I believe that it is inappropriate and still not advised to gamble while at work—whether it be by playing slots or placing a wager on sports. Nevertheless, if you two are related, then by all means give him advice on anything without making fun of his games. From what I've read in your statement, I believe he prefers to play and bet on slots, even though he may be knowledgeable about football or sports betting. If he wants to play slots, then, by all means, let him.

If you are worried that he might lose a lot of money gambling on slots and you might want to introduce him to sports betting so that he can make even little wins and avoid losing too much, then think about having a supportive chat with him.  You two can talk about your possible losses and wins, maybe exchange ideas, and perhaps discover why he prefers to play slots over sports wagering.

I strongly agree to your opinion on the subject matter because everything you said aligned with my own personal opinion as well. There's time for everything and whenever it's work time, no member of the team is allowed to do anything that's contrary to our goal and target of the day including gaming of any kind.

For a gambler not to be able to control his gambling activities at work, it simply means he's already addicted to gambling and as a colleague, I'll do everything within my strength to make sure he's saved from gambling addiction.  So if I come across anyone at the office who's gambling during work hours, I'll make sure I caution him ajd tell him about how bad it is to be engaging in gambling at the place of work. I'm sure that when that when I persuade him not to do it again, he'll definitely stop that act

Not a bad idea to introduce him to sports betting but actually, it's out of our business anymore. Playing slots regularly as you noticed, that guy is aware of sports betting but instead, he is focused on playing slots. It means the interest in sports betting is not there.

He will also have a hard time keeping up with the gambling part in sports betting as even how good he is at doing analysis, there are lots of betting options in a certain match and likely, some of his analysis will fall on a not worthy odds to consider. Therefore, he needs to do another analysis again just to be able to ride the preferred odds he wants.

What?! Job well done or not, discipline must be there. Not to gamble at the workplace comes first.

And, it's not about forcing the other type of gambling which is sports gambling which OP was talking about, it's about suggesting a better chance of winning. He said the cleaning guy already has a history of watching football games so he must know something about the rules, teams, statistics, names of players, and other details that could maybe enhance that chance of winning.
Well, after the cleaning job is done I think it's a good idea to talk about sports first, then they could start talking about introducing him to sports gambling.
There are many ways to make a discussion smooth and not make it look like we are forcing it on them. First, it must look appealing to them and if he is really watching the said sport then I doubt it will be difficult to make him switch games. But, there's no guarantee that he won't come back looking for slots again.
IMO, I tried stopping playing casino games but I am still being pulled to test my luck, although a bigger chunk of my budget for gambling now go to sports betting.

I would hesitate to come off as though you know something he doesn't.  If the guy is gambling playing slots on his phone at work, don't you think he is already aware that he could be betting on sporting events?  Especially considering you say he already watches sports and gambles...  It's quite possible he enjoys the immediate dopamine rush of a win with slots.  They do provide more sounds and lights, etc.  Maybe he's just trying to pass some time and get a quick pick me up in his mood.  I would imagine it's also possible that he already engages in sports betting, but playing slots is likely much more recognizable an activity.

I rather have my peace than have to introduce anyone to an activity that could be addictive. Gambling is a very sensitive and risky business hence, having to teach one just another aspect to it that could possibly cause more losses is one thing that shouldn’t be done.
Who knows, he might just be good at the slot he plays and slots are played with very little funds. A few cent is enough to afford you few rounds but, that isn’t the case for sports betting. Sports betting have a more high stake for a limit compared to casino games.
In all, they both offer different advantages but, I have the feeling who ever is into some sports and gambles, will also be aware of the opportunities or markets to gambling that exists within the game.

Why not, if he is into gambling then having an option to win is much better. I would simply talk like a friendly approach, ask what site he is using, what usual games are he up to, just don't ask how much his lost already, then suggest sports betting which i would share if i'm on that time. Just tell him cons of sports betting compare to traditional games, like it's much longer to see the result since it will based on the result of the game.

He's very much aware of sports betting, football is the most popular sports in the world and its betting platforms are readily advertised on different platforms  even most time while watching it, they set out time to advertise different platforms as have  subscribed with the channel. We see such during half time breaks, before and after the match. Even thinking as ads When browsing, so the awareness is widely created.

Now, there something with preference, the guy prefers slot games and probably, it makes him happy, the allow him play slots and live in peace. You might even be surprised he still plays soccer betting too, but has higher preference for slots.

He probably enjoys playing slots because it is more "spontaneous", fun to play and more interactive than sports betting. Again, he can make quick profits (and losses) when playing slots while he has to wait for the "results" when he bets on sports, which he doesn't like. And how do you know that he isn't betting in sports while playing slots? Maybe he does both. And I am pretty much sure someone who gambles and plays slots, doesn't need to be introduced to sports betting. They already know what it is. And even if you did introduce him and he starts betting a lot and loses everything, very likely he will blame you for the outcome. What you can do is not get involved into his gambling affairs and do your own thing.

Why do you think that he doesn't know anything about sports betting? There's no need for you to "introduce" him to sports betting.
The guy probably likes the low IQ gambling games like slots. That's just a personal preference. Some gamblers like playing slots, while others hate slots. Some gamblers like betting on sports, while others hate sports betting. If I was on your place, I would just mind my own business and let him play whatever gambling game he wants. Giving gambling advice to someone else is a bad move, because he might blame you for losing a big amount of money on sports betting.

Leave him in his position. I don't think there is a necessary to notice others Even it is true that he can loss his $10 at once by slot game on the others hand he can also win huge by this actually profit and winning never guaranteed on gambling. He can also loss his fund on sports betting. And I don't think he don't know about sports betting cause you have already say that he have a good knowledge about sports team. Maybe you like playing slot game.

Time is required for a gambler to change his preference. The feeling of changing games often times doesn't work for every gambler. There are gamblers like me, that mainly play specific games and try to learn through them. During periods of repeating the strategy, I understood our prediction could get better depending on how much time we've invested playing and observing the game. However, the strategy also depends on the type of game. Hence trying to make changes on some attitude of a gambler, requires lots of time. People hardly change. Although they'll definitely think about it. Luckily it works just fine, but if tries that and fails. He'd definitely have Op at the back of his mind, as the cause of his misfortune. Sharing advise directly to a gambler is not simple and needs more guidelines than people or gamblers may think. They have no slightest inkling of what the gambler would say or think about the advice. So, it's better to add that you felt advising him is fun and great than you both staying calm and not talking to one another. He should be aware of taking full responsibility in the future, when he decides to adhere to your instruction.

Not every sport fanatic is sports bettor or supporter of sports betting which means they have their own way of enjoying the game and if they have a desire to gamble then they probably know what they want to do as well. So just let him be, no need to create an illusion that if he does sports betting instead of playing slots he can make profits which is basically a wrong idea.

That's what I also believe. As someone with quite limited knowledge about football and sports betting, I tend to go with safer options or known teams in uneven matches, mostly in the Greek Football Super League. I can imagine OP's friend having better luck than I do, due to his extensive knowledge regarding football teams. However, I don't find it necessary to attempt to persuade him into something else; if he enjoys slots, let him be; maybe there's a reason behind why he's not into sports betting. You can simply introduce him to sports betting by showing him how everything works, but nothing more, as you may be held liable if he's to lose any significant amount of money.

I see gambling as a game of interest and personal, people choose to play a particular game based on how familiar they are with the game and the confidence of winning they have towards the game. I don't think it is proper for you to advice someone to play another kind of game that he is not used to. If he is a good foot fan that knows much about football it doesn't mean he will be a good gambler and since he never believe in his self to be a good sport gambling and no experience to back him up. It is better for him to make his decisions on choosing game to play for himself. If he decides to choose sport betting and he lose, all blame will be on you. Let him be the one to choose for himself since the money use in playing bet belongs to him.

If you ask what I would do, then I would reprimand him for playing slots while working. While his two friends were focused on their work, he was enjoying playing slots. This action is very detrimental to me or my father who pays him to work and his friends also feel disadvantaged if the wages earned are divided equally. I prefer to introduce things to him outside working hours, there is still other time to discuss this issue.

Maybe he prefers playing slots even though his knowledge of football games is very extensive, but there's no harm in trying to give him advice. Regardless of whether he likes placing bets on football matches or not, the important thing is that you have guided him to bets that might be easier to win than playing slots.

You can just casually talk to him and ask him has he ever tried sports betting or not.
If he has already tried then may be he's more into luck based game like slots then sports betting.
If he hasn't tried then you can show him how it's done once.

Another way is just ask him about a match and who is gonna win and then tell him that you will be betting on the match.
Then it depends on his curiosity and you will find out whether he wants to do sports betting or not.

It's true that most gamblers have a preferred game that they enjoy playing. It's not always easy for them to switch to a different type of game, even if they have knowledge and understanding of the rules. For example, just because someone is skilled in sports, it doesn't necessarily mean that they will be successful in sports betting. Therefore, it's important to let gamblers play the game that they enjoy and are most comfortable with, rather than trying to make them switch to a different game.

People tends to like one thing or the other, may he is a football club fans but he might not necessarily like betting on sports itself, though advising on that note is not bad, with what you said I cone to believe that it is possible for him to win in sports betting than that of slot because he can just decide to choose his favourite and most informed team to stake on them, when he do this 2 to 4 times he might be lucky to win, if you try to convince him and he doesn't buy the idea, the you should leave him to his fate, but your narration and idea is not a bad one, if he considers sports betting he will make more fortune compare to when he is playing the game of slot.

That's right, it's possible, as you said that maybe he doesn't really like sports betting even though he basically has knowledge that can be said to be at least enough to help him run sports betting which can also allow him to get some wins based on his knowledge in the world of sports. I understand that what the OP is suggesting is indeed quite good to switch to sports betting because indeed this type of game like slot is really purely dependent on luck while on the other hand anyone will never know when he will be lucky and this is the reason why it is difficult to get a win in slot games and instead what happens is that defeat often dominates, But on the other hand there is still a possibility that the person does not know at all about sports betting and this can be used as a reason why he does not choose sports betting over slot games, and my other assumption is that it is also possible that he does both of these bets but when he is at the OP's house he only engages in slot games. But on the other hand if he really doesn't know about the existence of sports betting then obviously what the OP suggested is good enough for him.

Lets now take a look at a novice sportsbettor. Yes, its a whole separate game. Although switching from slot machines to sports betting can be intimidating, it can also be a thrilling challenge. Its similar to entering a new arena where your knowledge of sports can be put to use. I usually tell my friends that sports betting is about more than simply winning; its about finding a method to combine your love of sports and the excitement of wagering.

And who knows, perhaps this individual does both but enjoys the social component of playing slots at a friend's house. Thats also really great! Regardless matter the game, I think the important thing is to enjoy the process. It all comes down to enjoying yourself, acting responsibly, and perhaps, just possibly, using your sports expertise to help you win some thrilling bets on sports.

For someone playing slot, doesn't the casino here he is playing the slot game have a sports betting section? What makes you think that he doesnt already know about sports betting?

Personally, I do not think we can find a gambler at this age and time who would know and play slot games, and don't know that sports betting exists, or that its possible to also bet on sports and make money, it is absolutely not possible.

So, if at that moment, what he feels like playing is slot games, why disturb him? If I was in your situation, I will not bother him, for I myself sometimes deposit money to my casino account, solely just to play slot game, and only do sports betting when I know or see a game I know I have a very high chances of winning on.

So, for me, it doesn't make sense to tell a gambler what to play, for he or she might leave that game he or she was playing to play that which you recommended, and he or she will still lose, by then, he or may blame you for his or her loss by saying that you were the one who asked him or her to play that game, if not, he or she wouldn't have.

Many people bet on slot games and sports games. But most of the time I bet on sports games because I like to watch sports more so I bet more on sports games. There is not much gambling in slot games because most of the time.  I am busy with sports so I don't have much time for slot games. But I prefer to bet on slot games and sports games.

I will keep quiet because for me it is not good to interfere in other people's affairs by gambling, besides it is also a risky action because when we suggest it and he loses, he could blame us

If you want to share your experience and on sports betting then there's a chance that he will play too and also if he is want to gamble for fun then he might be enough if he would know on sports betting and I think he will know how to play with that or maybe in the first he will choose what he want without good analysis but in the end for sure he will be a wise gambler. Anyways it's up to you mate if you let him play on slots or let him explore more in gambler.

That's also a good decision because not everyone likes what we like, basically every gambler has their view and comfort point in the gambling games they play, so in my opinion there's no need to interfere in other people's business, even though sports betting makes more sense than from casino games at least don't divert someone from gambling to other gambling games even if he is clever and expert in predicting any sports bets.

Not everyone who understands predictions in sports betting likes sports betting and in fact they prefer playing slots, because they may only be looking for a game that is easy and quick to make a profit, in fact it is also true that we can be responsible or lose someone who has We are invited to gamble in other forms of gambling such as sports betting, unless we really invite someone who is addicted to gambling to stop gambling, there will be no problem interfering in that person's business, at least it can help him stop gambling, not divert him to other gambling. because they will definitely blame us if they lose  ;D

It could be that he enjoys playing slots and I also see that many people around me tend to like slots more than betting on sports, even though they have a hobby of watching football and are able to make predictions about the games that will take place. The habit lies in a person's comfort level involved in gambling and perhaps betting on football is not that interesting for them. But if that's the case, I would rather make bets on football than play slots because as far as I do, slots don't support me in getting profits or jackpots.

Personally I don't like the concept of introducing people to gambling whether it be in the sport of football or slots because for me gambling is not a place to make money. I'd rather he make his choice and it has nothing to do with us introducing anything.

Sharing experiences about sports betting might be an option for those who are too addicted to slots and if the experience you share can attract them to switch from slots to sports betting it might be better, because if in sports betting we can analyze well about The form of a team that we will place a bet on and will likely win if we can analyze it well and is very different from slots which only rely on luck when we play.
Yes, this really depends on people's preferences in betting and if they are not interested of course they will still play slots and will never look for another game to bet on.

Some people see that one of the reasons someone tells them to switch to sports betting is because of the knowledge of the world of sports that they have which can indirectly be used to get closer to winning in the type of sports betting and this also minimizes the amount  of unnecessary losses for the type of slot game, I understand both are still in the gambling environment but if there is a better choice in terms of  minimizing possible risks, then why not? Yes you are right, by switching then it can be said to combine the love of sports with the excitement of gambling, and it also combines luck with skill, knowledge.

Yes, on the other hand, according to my views and predictions, it is also  possible that basically he already knows and has / often bets on sports betting, but when he is at his friend's house he prefers to bet on slot games, a situation that is not very supportive because Having work to do might be one of the reasons why he prefers slot games because it makes sense that by just pressing a button and scrolling the screen you can start betting and don't need to do any analysis. Yes, and other things, however, we must prioritize ourselves more on pleasure  than placing hope on victory because this is just an opportunity activity that should not be taken seriously.

It isn’t bad if you tell him. You are only being thoughtful as to him being able to make more money than what he makes from the slots. The worst that could happen is that he doesn’t take your advice, and that doesn’t have any disadvantage because it’s basically his choice. Just suggest it to him, I have a feeling that he would have a response that he probably already tried it in the past. Nonetheless, sports betting is advantageous than the slots so he always has a shot with the knowledge he has already.

If I were you I would let him play the slot, because in my experience, if we advise someone that enjoying what he is playing, it might bother him, and may disturb his concentration. Sports betting is good, but it's also not good for someone who are not used to playing it. If we force him to play with what we want, it might make him feel You feel disturbed in what he did also. That might be not good for your house, that possibly his work for cleaning your house is not maximal.

That means it is up to everyone to start learning sports betting or stick to playing slots. But indeed, if someone has often played slots, he may not or will not be interested in other gambling games unless he sees and is curious about other gambling games. He might start asking questions about the person who introduced him to the gambling game and then he will find out more. I've never been in a situation like that, but if I do, I'll probably leave him alone until he asks me to talk about gambling. If he is curious about other gambling games, maybe I will introduce him to sports betting or other gambling games.

Well, I have another way of seeing things, for me it is very good that People know all their capabilities so that they can do them and take them to the end with firmness and they can acquire many ways of doing things, personally I would if they had the opportunity If I told someone who knows sports betting, I would do it, because it is up to the person to decide what they want to stay with and how they want to stay, these things are like showing the way to things, to games and to different ways of seeing ggambling should not only be limited to slots, because slots are just a way for you to continue doing what you are used to doing, you have to go further, as a human you cannot limit yourself, I am one of those who have always said that a person should always do what they should do, if they want to learn and know something and do it, if a person has or wants to learn a language they should do it, there is no need to limit themselves.

Well, in my way of thinking, it is due to studying that one is taught that one has to specialize and go for a single sense of life, if you do this, you specialize in that and alas, you cannot look at anything else, but the brain has the capacity to do anything, to keep any type of information and to do the things that one considers to be right, I do not believe it, you should always do what you want to do, because they do not make sense, what you can learn you Should Learn , The opportunity is there and must be taken, for that reason it is that we must always put a lot of emphasis on learning whatever it is, then if you are a person who only uses slots, and is an expert in slots , then you have to know all the aspects that the caisno, the political bets and everything, as long as they know well what they are involved in, then these types of things are what people must see, understand and admit that they do exist.

That complete loss can still happen with sports betting regardless of the advantage you can find from the players and the teams because luck can still affect the match where you'd unexpectedly see underdogs win on certain days.

I'd still suggest it anyway, he'll eventually find out about sports betting now that most casinos have a sportsbook and could enjoy it more than playing casino games. I wouldn't be surprised if he already knows about it but still chose slots.

When playing gambling, a person will choose a gambling game after doing research and looking for a gambling game that can attract his attention. Many people are interested in playing slot games because the many slot games available in casinos can provide different experiences in playing slot games. They can choose other gambling games if they want to look for other games, and it depends on their curiosity to find them. But some people play slots and sports betting at the same time. They place bets on sports betting and while waiting for the matches' results to be completed, they use their time to play slots. Some of them think it might give them another win in gambling so that if they win at sports betting, their winnings can get an even bigger win.

But if they don't want to play other gambling games, they will use gambling games that they are used to, so they don't need to learn how to play them. Maybe they don't want to learn anymore because playing the gambling game will take longer. They can learn all the gambling games if they want, but it depends on each person's wishes. And maybe some of them want to become specialists in certain gambling games so they don't want to learn other gambling games and only play gambling games that they are used to playing. But to become an expert at playing slots does not depend on how long they have been playing slots because slot games depend on luck, so if they are not lucky, they will not be able to win.

every gambler has their own comfort in where they will gamble and we cannot force them to try other types of betting because they will never have the slightest interest in trying to have comfort in other types of gambling like you when you are too comfortable with sports betting even though for us sports betting is the most comfortable but for a slot gambler it is something boring as I experienced before. at first I often bet on all casino games, one of which was the slot game that I often played and often said that sports betting was boring because at that time I felt that slots were a game what was very interesting made me excited but the fact is that the longer and more often I played slots I felt bored and that's when I tried to return to sports betting and it turned out that it was fun after placing a bet to be able to watch the matches so I felt comfortable in sports betting.

well, this is all about comfort where every gambler has his own choice and we should not provide other comfort in other games because we cannot give him guarantees regarding pleasure and comfort.

Yes... thank you for the affirmation, I hope you are also someone who is able to control yourself well when gambling, and has good discipline and time management too. And regarding targets in a work team, of course, without good cooperation, it is very likely that the final results of the work will not be in accordance with what was previously planned and I am also quite pessimistic if the processing time will be as expected. .

To be able to make someone aware of their bad behavior in gambling, as well as experiencing the feeling of gambling addiction itself, is not an easy thing for us to do. The reason for this addiction can make him insensitive to the environment around him, he will not care about anything, including gambling activities, and he will always ignore any advice and input given to him. And what's worse, he always tries to find reasons and justifications for the bad behavior he has done so far. So when you want to try to warn someone who is addicted to gambling, stay alert and careful with that person, excuse he tends to be temperamental and easily emotional which can lead to arguments.

When knowledge is far from you, your chances of losing becomes high. The system doesn't always favour oneself because it's broad and there are countless gamblers in the same system, they're hoping for good results but at the end of th day, their results doesn't corresponds to the basis of the system. We only hoped and pray for things to get better on our side and not struggle to fit into every system because we might not like the outcome. We all have what we think is working for us, what works for me might not work for you, simple as that?

I will not tell them about sports betting, I think there is no point in suggesting people gamble on sports betting, maybe he doesn't like it, because from your story he likes sports of course he knows how to bet there, maybe he just likes slot games, Advising people will have a negative effect on us

So for the time being, maybe we can let those who still play slots or other gambling games enjoy it and when they ask us for advice about other gambling games, we can then give them suggestions. We just need to accompany them to gamble and not get too involved with them so that we won't be blamed if anything happens to them. Those who still play slots may still feel comfortable playing it and can enjoy it even if they lose and as long as they can still control themselves, it is unlikely that anything bad will happen to them. But some gamblers often play slots and eventually move on to sports betting or other gambling games, and they reason that they want to know about other gambling games, and that reason is reasonable and acceptable. Maybe they need refreshment by gambling on other games.

When someone is comfortable with their choice of gambling game, that person will not want to move to another gambling game just because they see an attractive offer from the casino or an invitation from someone else. When he wants to move to another gambling game, it is because of his own decision.

Negative effect on us? The dude mentioned in the story is already gambling and I don't think he will think badly of us, rather it might become the start of a friendship. ;D It will be suggested for a good reason and that is to avoid gambling at casino games which we are meant to lose. We have a better chance in sports gambling because we are not playing against the house. We are just trying to guess who or which team will win, it's almost like a coin flip with a 50-50 percent chance. Now, based on the story too, the guy was seen watching a football game which means he might have an idea of what the OP will suggest to him. If he knows his sport, he might have a chance to increase the 50 percent chance to more.
I think it also has nothing to do with being a bad influence. It might actually save him more money if he will just play sports betting because there you play by events only unlike how it is with slots and other casino games where it is 24/7 open and our urge will always be active to gamble because of it.

Well, as far as I know, no one has found a way to outsmart bookies so far, so, his chances are slim. In fact, luck plays big part in sports betting, a much bigger part than many gamblers want to admit. It's understandable in a way. When you win you want to think it was because of your skills rather than luck. Because your skills are always with you and thus you can win more in the future, while you can't keep good luck around forever.

What might work for you might not work for me but how do you even know if it will work or not? Or do you not know that what might work for you can equally work for me or can even work better for me? I just think it’s okay to tell the person your opinion and advice. If he gives it a try, then he will be the one to know if it works for him or if it doesn’t. Don’t assume it won’t work for someone, especially when it doesn’t hurt to give the information.

Taking into account the story of the OP it should be obvious that person already knows everything he needs to know to make sport bets if he likes, and it is even possible he already does it but the OP has not seen him doing so.

But even if that was not the case there is no real reason to try to tell him, as casinos are very user-friendly and the sportbook is probably just a few clicks away anyway, so if he is curious enough he should discover sport bets on his own and try them if he wants to.

A lot of Sport enthusiasts are not neccesarily good Sport gamblers. Let's say you are a big Liverpool fan and they are playing other teams, will you bet against your own team?

These guys are very emotionally involved in the teams, so they mostly base their betting decisions on these emotions and that will increase their losses.

You should be free of emotions, when you do Sport betting... you should just consider the facts and the results of your research, when you make the decision to bet on individuals or teams.

You have correctly noticed a similar trend, and of course the biased opinion of such players, who are fans at the same time, will not be impartial. And in a serious approach to any case, you need to have a minimum amount of emotions. In defense of people like these fans, I want to say that if they don't bet regularly, but only occasionally, then their interest in such matches becomes huge, because:
1) their favorite team is playing.
2) it is decided whether such a fan will receive money for the bet

its not compulsory for you to advice him on what he should do. Would you rather have him blame you if he starts sports betting and experience a huge loss in the process? The thing is that it's very possible that he already knows about sports beating since he loves sports and is good and it analysis but living sports isn't enough reason why one should go into sports betting. Allow him do what works best for him so regardless of the outcome, you know you don't have anything to worry about. Maybe you should try and ask him how is slot betting is going just so you can get a first hand information on what's really going on with what he is currently doing and if he is experiencing some loss, you can then introduce sports betting as an alternative that he can look out for if he is still interesting in it.

actually OP also wants to tell them about sports betting, rather than just spending money just relying on luck in slot games.
It doesn't really matter, it just tells you which game is better and more profitable compared to slots. Whether or not the matter will be followed up later remains up to each of them.

We cant really judge out directly a certain person on how he looks or on what are the things that he learned. Its true that he might be that already knowledgeable about sports betting but had just decided on dealing up slot gaming because this is where his interest would really be kicking on on which you would really be ashamed once you do make out those kind of explaination and made out some suggestion about playing it but he/she
already knows on what it is. Plus i dont really like on making out some suggestions on which we do know that it could really cause up that kind of blaming if ever a certain individual would really be able to
commit out some huge losses on which you would really be the ones who would be getting blamed with.

This is why it would really be that best that you should really be letting them on what are the things that they would be doing and never intend on making yourself having
those kind of suggestions if you dont like to stir up someones interest.

Yes, I think so because playing slots that really depend on luck can make your friends experience total loss. Meanwhile, if a friend wants to bet on sports betting, he may have a chance to win because he can guess or analyze which team can win. But @OP doesn't need to force his friend to try gambling on sports betting because that's also up to his friend. We may only be able to provide information about sports betting but it will all go back to the friend. And don't forget to tell you where the sports betting sites are that are good and not scams so your friends won't be disappointed.

I think this is completely personal matter. I also agree that sports betting is lot better than average slots game because you follow games, you watch matches, you recognize players, so you can much easily win money through it. Regular football watcher as example, would definitely be maximizing profit through sports betting. But some people just love casino games. Slots, dice whatever. Some people enjoy them more. That's their choice so hard to convince them to try sports betting instead.

Yes, there are many pros and cons with slots , for me slots are the Best way to do things to have maximum enjoyment, there is no other way , I am the one who always says that slots are the best way to get big money and have a lot of fun, of course the slots have now had a good acceptance by all the players in the world, because considering that there are almost no online poker games, or pvp poker which was what people were looking for more to play , that seemed to me in 2017, there were those options and the slots were not so popular, now things have changed and that is why things with the slots are different, that is a case that we see as normal , Natural and popular and it is something that will always be Noticed , now Things when they are seen that way because it is a learning experience, that is the only thing we could do at that time , but as far as I am concerned the slots were something that was not could be seen or done.

So based on the most popular aspects of the games, things can be done like this , We have to look at how we can do to have the best possible, in this case we have to go the way of doing things better, if a game is popular, we have to like it, others don't have to like it , if in my case I have always played píoker and I like that game, well I really don't replace it with another one , as some players have done, others don't give it improatencia and well things can be Different , in this case things can look like this, what I see viable is that every time you play in a casino, things must be done well, with money willing to lose, and with desire that things can happen Better , the casinos will always have attractions for us, the most fans of casinos and games , but we have to know what to play , as I said before, the slots are good, you can win a lot , but you can also lose too Much.

It is true that sports betting is much better than other types of betting, especially like slots because there gamblers can do something that can increase their chances of winning by applying skills and using knowledge to analyze a team, I don't know why most gamblers prefer to get involved in types of games like slots or dice but certainly I think it is not uncommon or even many of them do not know at all about sports betting maybe so that this can be used as a reason why they prefer to get involved in other types of bets or maybe they are more interested in short games that don't take long to find out the results, But unfortunately most of the gamblers do not know about the difficulty of getting a win on bets like slot machines or others because there they only depend on luck, nothing more than that, but yes in the end it is clear as you say that we have our own choices and interests.

Everyone knows their choices and what kind of games really interest them. We don't need to be in competition to make quick money for ourselves. We need to keep struggling to make sure that the kind of betting and games that we play make a way for us.
Those that are in love with casinos games should be ready to go extra miles to learn and equip themselves with the knowledge that would bring more winnings to us. We don't need t be too relax hoping that one day we could hit jackpot. People that had hit jackpot is not by their too comfort to keep playing, they worked for it and they were able to get it. If we work for the height we want to reach, we might be surprised that suddenly we could get their without stress.

What I am about to say might be so shorking to some of us but IMO I doubt that soccer bettors are not gambling fir profits.
We all do but soccer gamblers have interests on the winning side that those who gets on pokers and slots those gamblers gamble for fun but soccer bettors are there to make the money that's why we have more addicts.
I was ones beginning to believe that soccer's gamblers have the best sport predators because they watch matches and can also tell the best players out of each good teams but after all, I know that there are no best game predictor as everything concerning gambling depends on luck.

Exactly and i dont really like myself to be that someone whose really that becoming that person that getting involved with others lives on which i do rather prefer on letting them be on what they are doing rather than making some involvement when it comes into their choices.  ;)

Better not to make yourself that too  touching on other things specially on life situations and activities of other people so that you wont really be finding yourself to be that having
that kind of concern with others or really just that looking that you are stalking on them. Also, its better not to engage yourself on what they are doing
because if you do make out some recommendations and it turns out to be that a negative or losing condition then you are the ones who would really be getting blamed on.

Slots are not the best way to earn money because slot games are luck-based gambling games so it will be difficult for people to make money from slot games. Many other gambling games can provide greater opportunities to make money than slot games. We already know that sports betting can give us a win if we can analyze each match well. Even though there is a chance of losing, our chances of winning are greater than in slot games. But because this slot game is now one of the most popular gambling games among other gambling games, many people are curious about how to get big wins from slot games. They will keep returning to play slots because they want to win a lot of money.

When playing gambling, a person can choose a gambling game that is currently popular and played by many people, so if we look at the promotions carried out by streamers, people will know that slot games can give big wins. But they should also realize that slot games are luck-based, so even if they use a lot of money, they can only win if they are lucky. And they probably won't move to other gambling games because they still like slot games and still want to play them, especially if they haven't been able to win from the slot games. They will move on to other slot games from other slot game providers just because they want to see where their luck will come from and give them big wins. And they indeed have to use the money they can afford in gambling because that means they are ready for loss that could come at any time so they can accept it.

The only option is to just introduce him to sports betting. Let him play slots as that was his preferred.

Not because he has some knowledge in sports, it means he will have good progress in sports betting. Analyzing the game is fairly simple but on the betting part, that's where it became difficult. But if he focused though, practice makes everything smooth. Soon, he will step on sports betting. Maybe as of now, he is currently experiencing a regular Scatter and Free Spins playing at slots. :D

Well, we always choose games because they are nice because they are popular or because we like them a lot, as I have said before, in that case we have poker, we have black jack, but currently I know that the most popular is the slots, and if everything It has something to do with slots, for me it is mere luck, but if we look at it there are many things that must be learned from slots, in the bitcasino.io blog you can learn a lot about slots, there is an article that definitely They help a lot in teaching them, I enjoy reading them because they are very fun, they make a difference and really make you think about things that can be done. Personally, I have always said that lsots are for people who really know how to play it well. and make bets at the right time, these things also require studying law, even though things are also luck, because it is important to know many things.

When we choose a popular game or the game that players play the most, well yes, one could say that one of the things that they have to do well, you just have to read the instructions well to master the game, another thing that is recommended When they are very popular games, it is because we are so aware that we must know how to bet, I always insist with the most important thing that something that must be taken into account for a casino, and that is money, if there is good money we must do things well, no bet everything, but rather make a part of that money willing to lose, we should not start thinking about how much we are going to win, but rather how much we can lose, because one of the most common mistakes is made there, by not knowing that things can be considered that way.

The other things we consider in a casino is that we must be very lively, more astute, every good win must be counted, we must not start inventing, it is best to do it that way.

We shouldnt really be making out those conclusions that someone doesnt have the idea on playing sports just because they've been playing slots? How about if he had just
decided to play slots despite of being knowledgeable about sports and choose up it over because of the fast and instant results that it gives compared to sports betting?
For sure on the time that you would really be having such approach then you would really be getting ashamed on the time that they would be saying into your face that they've been betting
through sports and not really just that playing slots.  :D

Gambling is gambling regardless of the form it takes. In sports betting, we lose and we win and this is the same with the slot game but then a person can prefer one over the other and that is why you will always see a gambler no matter the nature of the gambling. What matters is your ability to understand the game and then plan on how to win.

I have a friend that we both go out to watch football but then he prefers gambling on lotto than on football. This tells you that it is a matter of preference and saying sports betting is better than average slot game is immaterial because we are all open to one reality which is that gambling is a game of luck regardless of the form of the game.

Of course, many people play gambling games, so it makes us curious and want to know how to play the gambling game, and when we know, we play it more often, and that is the slot game that has made many people addicted to continuing to play it. Slot games require luck, so we probably just need to know how much money we can use, and we adjust it to how much money we can afford and how long we can play the slot game. But most people will play slots longer than other gambling games because they still hope to get the big multiplier that many people target to get big wins. People who chase wins from slot games don't need much learning because they only know how much money to bet, and many of them place using the smallest bet money and turn the button, either automatically or manually, and wait for the results to come out. There's nothing else they need to know.

For other popular gambling games such as poker, blackjack, or sports betting, people really need to learn how to play them to avoid making mistakes when placing their bets. But for slot games, they don't need to learn many things because slot games require luck for them to win, so they rely on their luck so they can come at the right time. But whatever the gambling game, we have to know how much money we can use to gamble and not exceed the limit to reduce the amount of losses we will receive later. If we can manage the amount we spend when playing gambling, we can also manage the amount of losses we can accept to prevent big losses. If we know how much money we can lose in gambling, we will not gamble excessively because we know that gambling will not always give us the results we want. Gambling is entertainment and we don't need to gamble excessively because it can give us even more losses. The important thing is that we can gamble responsibly because we need not to overdo when gambling.

We have to be wise in gambling and not chase after winning, which will be difficult, especially since we don't have much money like other people. Other people also won't always be able to win as they hope. So instead of experiencing a lot of defeats, we should prevent it from happening.

The current situation is that I have met him again on many occasions when he was relaxing. We talked about a lot of things and he has started to open up about his gambling activities. He said he had won around $50 or the equivalent of IDR 790,000. But he realized that the amount he won was still far from the total he lost but he said he still enjoyed playing slots.

Then I diverted our conversation to football and I idly asked if he had ever bet on sports betting. He said he had placed a sports bet during the World Cup and won so much money that he could buy a new smartphone. I was amazed to hear that because he could buy a new smartphone.

I also asked him if he still bets frequently on sports betting. He said he had bet on sports betting but could not win as big as before, but it was enough to win for him. He bet on a local betting site but he does not tell the site name. If I advise him to place a bet on a crypto sports betting site, I have to teach him about crypto. Until then, I did not recommend any crypto betting site because he was not ready to learn about a new thing. It will be a long road because there will be a lot of questions about crypto. We'll see ;D

I somewhat disagree on some points that gambling with slots is totally just the same with sports betting when it comes to odds? I dont think so. There would really be always that fine line when it comes to odds on winning up the bet or game. Also, if you do try to explain to someone about playing sports betting. How you would really be that knowing that someone doesnt know about sports betting?
Just like the rest been saying that i dont want to get involved on someones activities or whatever the things that they  are getting involved into.

Just let them be on the things that they are really that doing. We dont know on what they do know and we dont know on where their interest do play on.
If they opted to play slots games then so be it. Just dont make yourself that look like on loving on involving on other people been doing.

I also agree with what you say, for me a sports bet is not the same as a bet with slots, in fact with a sports bet it is more focused on knowledge, it is more destined to happen according to the knowledge that we have in a sport, If we do not stick to this, we will realize that things are like this, of course we are people who all the time will look for the best way to make any mistake, as for me, I am not going directly with luck, no, because In the destructive messes I do it thinking about my friends and since what I do is what I know, I don't start to invent or leave things to chance when it comes to the derpotrvias sucks, that is what we must consider, because in the Sports betting has to do a lot with what we know, not with luck as such, while in slots, everything is pure luck, and even if you win with little money, you can spend a lot of money on the slots.

So when we are going to do a study of the slots, well yes, there are things that we can see, such as the RTP, the time of slot with which we are working, with which we are playing, for many they like a type of slot in In particular, like me, I like pragmatic ones, but it's a matter of taste, in my case those slots give me more opportunities to win, of course it's my approach, it's my way of seeing things.

I am always going to see things from another point of view, there is no other way, I will always see that when it comes to making an analysis of what we have tried to do, it can be assumed that we are people who bet more on Luckily for anything, I have seen that there are people who start doing sports bets just because of luck, just because they think that a team is better than the bull, but they don't have a critical thought to say that it is better for one reason or another. , but only because they think so.

You are very correct, some persons make their preference on what to gamble on with the fact that they are most comfortable gambling on a certain type of game than the other , every one will definitely not enjoy gambling in sports game even if they enjoy watching it probably they are most luck with other games than they would be gambling on sports game which they are not probably too lucky with most often and it's not a bad choice at all or neither does it make them any less of a gambler.

No game on which we gamble is better than the other because in the long term they are both luck dependent so there's no good measure for which one is better than the other they are all just good based on your preference a d how well you know about them to making sure you get lucky enough at your trials.

You both may end up becoming good gambling friends, which is also needed as gamblers. Although it's good you both had nice conversations, that looks one sided. I mean didn't he bother asking you some questions about your gambling habit, and how far you've been dealing with the troubles everyone faces in gambling, losses. Cryptocurrency gambling is cool for him, that's if he already knows about crypto. But, if he has no prior experience with cryptocurrency, he'd have to learn it and try out gambling with crypto. From his world cup wins, he's truly into sports and understands how to place games in sport betting. However, I think it's better he continues with the one he enjoys the most. Remember to let him know about money management and responsible gambling. If that's on check, no need bothering about diverting his gambling energy to some other games. You both can be discussing gambling and build strong knowledge about the gambling niche.

Sports betting for some gamblers is too slow to achieve big wins because the odds multiplied by the bet amount will be obtained by an amount that is not much if the assumption is that he only bets $10.
Playing slots, with a deposit capital of around $10, they will think that if it is their lucky day, then they will get a big multiplier so they can reap big money from sensational wins.

I will not forbid or suggest any suggestions for them to play either slot gambling or sports betting.
If he asked, I would say just play both types of gambling.
Sports betting as a hobby. That's my mindset. Maybe his goal was to expect big money from slots instead of betting on sports betting.

If you like football, it doesn't necessarily mean you are interested in football betting. Maybe for him slots are easier to play without needing to do detailed analysis to play. Because sometimes there are people who like simpler games rather than having to bother thinking about analyzes which sometimes make things difficult for themselves.
If I were you, I wouldn't give him any advice. Because he has the right to play whatever he likes. He might be offended when you suggest playing soccer betting. We will never know what reasons made him decide to play that game. Unless he is a member of your family, maybe he will be open to your suggestions, bro.

We cannot compare the loosing rate to that of the winning rate because they are far from each other, in gambling, we often loose than we win, when we look back to how we have started and considers the rate to loosing and winning, weay feels getting more discouraged about gambling knowing that the two are incomparable to each other, we often loose more than we make win while gambling, we should know this to get our minds settled for which ever things eventually happened on us.

Look, all gamblers combined are losing more than wining. There's no doubt about that. 4.2 billion are gambling at least once a year. It's a big number, and when we deal with such big numbers we know there can be outliers. In fact, thousands of people can be among those outliers. They can winning more than losing. Thousands of people, think of it.

Well, we are people who always have to be very careful with our money, especially when it comes to playing in the slots, not all people are careful to play in the slots and see if they actually comply with the balance. willing to lose or something like that, it is very difficult to do it the first time, but it can be done, now I am one of the people who did not learn this at once, I learned this thanks to Trading, that same strategy is It is applied in trading and when I see that many things can be applied to gambling, especially in the issue of self-control, something that very few take into consideration, but it is very important.

Now when we see that these things can happen I always realize that things can be very determining if we do them in order, to be in such a situation we must do things in extreme order and only then can we have very good results, this is what we do. I know because I know that in trading things are like that, what you should not do in trading is to think like in gambling, but in gambling you cannot apply much of trading, but there are things about trading that were not considered. gambling, for example, making classes with analysis and ensuring that it is fulfilled because that is how the analysis that was carried out launched it, because that does not work in gambling, however it is always good to apply strategies.

And although many say that strategies don't work, you always have to consider that the best and best things are those that have strategies, I have always said that we are people who should use strategies for everything, they work for me, but I don't use just one , I use many and I do this so as not to Play in a flat way, that is what we are looking for, I will always Consider things that way, that is why we look for the best to do and the best to save our money .

sometimes you need to ignore other people and not really care about what they do because if at that time you offer crypto betting to him, maybe you will teach him about crypto, etc., which will take up your time and will make you more trouble. So it's better for you to just chat normally with them and don't need to get too involved in things related to their gambling. but if you don't have a problem with that, then just continue educating him about crypto betting, maybe he'll be interested in that.

It's a different story if you're basically willing to teach them about something that is the topic of discussion like the crypto betting that you're exemplifying, sometimes we don't need to be too open to others and also don't need to care too much about what other people say, after all we gamble with our own desires and abilities especially using our own hard-earned money, so don't listen too much to other people's criticism, but I think if indeed what they say or suggest leads to something better or changes that lead to goodness then I think there is nothing wrong with considering the advice and criticism of people who care about us. But it's all up to you, if you're not bothered by what  they say or what they want then go ahead, but if it's the other way around then obviously it's better not to be too open or not to respond  and care about what other people say about you.

Addiction's a tricky beast, it doesn't care what game you're playing. Slots, sports betting, it's all about the thrill of the gamble, not the actual game itself. So, swapping one for the other might feel like a win at first, but it's still feeding that same addictive fire. Think of it like replacing candy with chips – you might feel healthier, but you're still snacking, right?

"Getting lucky" in gambling is like winning the lottery with a blindfold on. Sure, it's possible, but not likely. Sports betting might seem "skillful," but the odds are stacked against you, just like in slots. Chasing that win can lead to deeper losses and even bigger problems.

Suggesting another form of gambling, even if you think it's "better," can actually be enabling. It downplays the seriousness of the addiction and makes it harder for your friend to seek real help. Imagine if someone offered you cake after you said you were trying to quit sugar – not exactly helpful, right?

So in conclusion he still enjoys playing slots even though he has tried sports betting. that's natural because he gets a different adrenaline rush when playing slots than placing sports bets which most of those who have placed bets will do other things.
In your friend's case, maybe he enjoys playing slots. Although your friends might also like sports betting, it might just be a distraction.
as you said regarding betting during the World Cup event. it's busy. if not it is possible to bet on weekends when most top leagues play.

Basically, providing more information about gambling to your friend will make him addicted to continuing to do it continuously. Indeed, it will be a hassle for us to teach him from the beginning, although you can get discussion friends in the future, but that is the same as entering the gates of destruction together. It's true that it's better not to teach him, it can save us from feeling guilty if your friend experiences a big loss in the future. I agree not to get too involved in their gambling, it can put limits on your own activities, they will not know if you often bet on Crypto gambling.

Personally I would prefer to let them get involved in their own activities, and when someone is gambling I tend not to comment on anything, including suggesting they try some other bets, even though I know a little about it. On the other hand, when we open our mouths and comment, we are automatically considered experienced in various types of gambling games.

While wanting to help, suggesting sports betting might not be the best solution. Gambling, even with perceived skill, carries inherent risks. Respecting your friend's choices and understanding the underlying reasons behind they gambling could be more helpful. Offer support and resources if needed, but avoid pushing him. Remember, responsible choices require understanding the risks involved.

The guy who is gambling is not even his buddy. LOL. And yes, it's important to respect his decision, as just because he is knowledgeable in sports, it doesn't mean he feels comfortable playing sports betting. In my opinion, it's not good etiquette to suggest another game just because he sees someone gambling. It's fine to watch him play or even join him, but interrupting his game by suggesting another game is a big no.

I do not understand why OP asked himself this question, because this guy will not be able to devote his whole life to gambling and earn so much money to feed his family. And it does not matter whether he will make bets or play a slot machine.

As I understand, cleaning services are used by quite wealthy people. If he is really interested in participating in this guy's life, it is better to help him with education or a more promising job.

There you have it, so not only he knows about sport bets already, he was even good enough to obtain profits with it, if I am honest it does not really surprise me, as it would be kind of rare for a gambler to not be curious about the rest of the games offered by a casino and try them once in a while to see if he liked them.

And when it comes to teaching him about this market I would think this is not a good idea, because he could always turn his attention to shitcoins instead of gambling and lose a lot more with those scams than what he could have lost by gambling.

Both are fun and both are gambling. But each of them offers a different kind of experience and entertainment. I think some people are gambling for the sake of having something to do, to spend idle time. Sports betting does not offer this kind of thing. In sports betting all you have to do is place the bet and that's all. Everything's finished in seconds. Slots and other casino games can offer more than that. There are times when you have a lot of vacant time and you don't know what to do, you're bored, and you want to have fun. Playing slots is one good option in times like that.

Out of curiosity, I suppose. The man appears to be on a break and enjoying himself while gambling, which is when OP may have witnessed him playing while pondering this question.

We do not have any information about whether this person is an employee of the cleaning service or one of the owners of this cleaning service. However, I think that working in a cleaning service is certainly a decent job that pays well enough. It is also considered impolite to offer assistance with education or employment without the person explicitly requesting such help.

That's what we have to do when playing gambling, whatever the gambling game and not just slot games. But we know that slot games can really make us lose a lot of money because there will be curiosity about the losses we experience, so we will continue playing slots. We don't think about how much money we have used, but we only think about how we can win some money from slot games, including getting big multipliers. It is difficult to get big wins from slot games, so we have to be careful in spending our money and not let us spend it all in one day.

We cannot compare gambling with trading, although if we trade without using analysis, it is almost the same as gambling. However, in trading, we can still make a profit if we keep holding the coin, provided that it is a coin that can potentially increase in the future, for example, bitcoin. But when we can't be careful and lose all the money, we can't recover that loss easily because our money has been lost at the gambling table, and it's really lost us money. But in gambling, we can analyze sports betting so that we can also win, but when we lose, it means we lose the money, too. And it's hard to recover from that loss.

As long as you are willing to learn about analytical skills, it is possible to improve them to help you find teams with a higher chance of winning than other teams. It can give you winnings to make money from sports betting. But we don't forget that we can't always win from sports betting because there will be something that can prevent us from winning, so we have to be able to accept defeat if we do lose.

Maybe he just wanted to tell his friend that the risk of loss experienced by his friend in sports betting was not that big compared to slot gambling, therefore he gave his friend a solution to switch games to sports betting. Maybe it all depends on how his friend makes the right decision regarding this matter, and he certainly won't force his friend to choose what he thinks is fun and comfortable to play. In my opinion, sports games or slots are both gambling games that have very big risks, especially if you are addicted to gambling, it will definitely have a bad impact in the future.

A lot have been told here already, but when speaking about gambling, I would suggest to keep advices and intentions to help someone in yourself. If persons needs something, he will ask for help without hesitation. Today people can google and find everything, people so used to searching in the internet, so it is hard to find someone who asks others for suggestion. Lately, nothing radically new were invented in gambling, and I guess everyone is already familiar with everything. So today, if someone approaches with intention to teach something or advice, people look on that person with cautious.

Some people always need advice as people may rush to gambling without googling first or making a small research before gambling.If you see anyone of them it is let's say a moral duty to just advice such persons by telling risks associated with gambling and especially to such persons to tell the odds that are totally against you when gambling slot machines or sport betting.I know we live in the Internet era yet some persons rush and do not care but soon they realize their mistake.

Gambling in sports is completely different from regular gambling. In sports, you must follow all the leagues in their small and large details. You must know all the teams and players, the number of goals and points...
He must have a deep study of everything.
Yes, I can give him a reasonable amount of money, but if he deserves trust,  everything is based on trust

I believe that one of the things that causes someone to be too hasty to get involved in gambling without being based on proper research and understanding of the world of gambling is because they see "money" as the object of victory in gambling, such people completely ignore the aspect of risk that can never be separated when they are involved in this activity so of course in the end something that is not based on proper understanding will make them feel really disappointed at the end of the session when they lose, this is one of the typical irresponsible gambling.

So of course anyone is advised  to help people who are down or lost on the wrong path at least by giving them a little advice that really looks reasonable which of course they can understand, because on the other hand it is very difficult for them to reach awareness when they have already entered the wrong path, so this is what makes them end up with addiction along with always increasing the number of defeats over time, especially if they are basically involved in types of gambling such as slots which do have algorithms that are very difficult to solve so that losses will usually dominate more often.

I don't in sports betting you need to know about all the clubs or players to be a good sports bettor. Sports betting needs some level of knowledge but it is also highly determined by luck. Some sports bettors focus on some so they don't necessarily need to follow all the leagues.

The increase in viable information on the internet that could guide gamblers will not stop us from giving people advice. People will always need face-to-face or online counsel and we shouldn't hesitate to offer it to people that need assistance. 

I would say that it would really be better that it should be leaved up on this way on which it would really be just that right the you wont really be trying out to get involved into someones activity.
We dont know their background whether they are already knowledgeable to sports betting and just really that do love on playing slots. It isnt really that appealing for someone to be  that
dictated on what are the things that they should really be dealing on with. Some people do have that kind of sensitivity when it comes into someones actions been made out towards him/her.
There are ones who doesnt really love on getting that being touched by someone else, lucky for you if you do have been able to approach someone who doesnt really
care at all.  ;D

You think he doesn't know anything about sports betting. Maybe he is attracted simply by the momentary pleasure he gets from slot machines. After all, in sports betting you have to wait for the result, even if it is a live bet.
Secondly, if I were you, I would not introduce him to such a pastime, because if he suffers large losses, then you will feel guilty. It's better not to give such advice, I think

The fact that people rush to do things is a good point and good that you have reminded us it, but in current situation OP made question on, it wasnt about rushing. I can not believe, that person who gambles online never heard about sports betting, because casinos show default gambling and sports betting options on their index page, as well as there are always banners that offers promotions. Just one of the way how their conversation might go - when OP offers and introduces sports betting, that guy might ask how she/he found out he gambled. If OP says she/he spied it (how else could you explain that you say someone gambled on a mobile), that guy can take it negatively and wherever their conversation goes, it will already have a negative context.

Probably you letting the mice out of the bag will be of good help.he might possibly be interested if you eventually talk to him about sports betting,you know most people tend to hook up with what they know best and are good at doing it but introducing them to another means of achieving bigger wins will go a long way to putting smiles on their faces.

So I think when next you meet up,you can talk to him about it and making sure it's a detailed information your passing out to him that way he will be so astonished that something like that existed that he knows nothing about.

Well, though you are right that a lot of people might gamble just to pass their time and spend their spare time on it, however, when we talk about sports betting, indeed, it cannot be used as a time killer but it isn't as simple as just placing the bet because unlike gambling games, sports betting requires research and analysis for every bet so that you don't lose your bets because sports betting isn't always dependent on luck like gambling games.

This is the reason why some people might not find sports betting fun because they can't cope with the requirements and if you can't do your homework well, you will probably lose money and it's not fun when you are not being entertained and also losing money in the process.

That's the problem. We think casino games are more profitable because they give out high multipliers in an instant, but what's next to it? Losses.
It's easy to say that sports gambling is more responsible than casino gambling because we are not playing against the house.
I am a sports enthusiast and also a casino gambler and I know the difference. I place bets for casinos a thousand times and yet I won't receive the amount that I want to receive.
While in sports, I can get it anytime I want and I won't have to guess what's coming up next. This is where it makes a difference. Analysis-wise, sports gambling has a prediction that is near winning it. In casinos, you don't know what will happen next. Everything is a guess and even if we make bets that are way beyond the max amount they can give, they will still not provide anything. RTP could sometimes be late and we have to live with it.

I would honestly let him be. Like for some people it just makes sense to play slots because that is their comfort game and it's what basically gives them fun and enjoyment, and while it's good and okay to introduce a new game to that person, unless we're close I wouldn't really rub the option of choosing another game against him. Because as I said, this might've been his comfort game and no matter how much money he loses in these games as long as he takes care of himself it doesn't really matter. At the end of the day, it's all about making sure that you're having fun when you're gambling, and not the prospect of earning money in the process that really matter most.

I see your great intentions and honestly I would've been persuaded if I were the guy you're talking about, but at the same time some people may take it the other way and see you trying to introduce a new game to them as being nosy but whatever.

Well, as far as I am concerned, I have always said that one can transfer some strategies that one has for gambling to trading, for example, betting with money prepared to lose, because that is what we should see, now yes We are looking for a way to do things well because we have to do everything possible to do better, I could think that sometimes other improvements could be made in the game, for example not tying everything at once, but betting with the money alone for the game at a given moment, now when it comes to doing other things, for example to avoid addictions from gambling to trading because I do not advise it, normally some people may be looking for a way to do the best to allocate the best in the gambling, when we consider making strategies, some like considering that trading is like gmabling, it is not the best, because you lose a lot of money that way.

I say this because I have several friends who trade as if it were gambling, and they tell me that yes, that's how they win, that they make bets and that's how they win, and of course they do contradict futures and they do it. So I don't tell them much because it's their money and I respect that, I don't get involved in those things because it's their money and they respect that a lot, because if they tell me that that's not my problem, well, with That stays with me, now when things are done like that, I don't know what to say, it's like betting a lot on luck, and for me trading is not gambling, for me, anyone who starts gambling doesn't do well, for me he Gambling is gambling, but when it comes to trading, I believe that things have to be done as they are, with knowledge, with everything that is done to have things clear, to me the things that happen with gambling are just luck. For me everything should be as it is.

Two things.

1. Introduce other ways to enjoy gambling while earning more money in the process. In taking this path I would take an approach that wouldn't make me out to be the arrogant asshole that sticks his dick into everything, even those he doesn't have businesses with. It's quite easy really, just make him think that it's their idea in the first place, influence them into looking for other options. Eventually the guy will relent and will either stop playing slots/gambling overall, or would just outright find a different way to have fun that wouldn't involve him spending too much money with no real ROI in the process. Otherwise the other most desirable outcome is him ending up finding other games that he can play aside from slots.

2. Keep it to myself and just let him play his slots. He prolly got his shit taken care of and he doesn't need suggestions or people calling him out about his obsession with slots. He's most likely aware of it anyway and if he wanted to quit slots and play something else he would've, but as seen from the fact that he exclusively plays slots and nothing else (at least according to your story) there's a good chance that he's doing this not because he doesn't know how to play other games or whatever theory people's got going on about the guy, but the sole fact that he just loves slots that much and would've rather kept playing slots for as long as he's alive or at least until he hits a rock bottom of hedonic enjoyment.

The people who do the gambling for the entertainment was very low,many gamblers doing the gambling for making money.Because money making in the current world with the business became the hard one.This was the cause for the gamblers choose the gambling as their earnings sources.Some gamblers try to make the gambling site as their full time job.But they need to understand this was the game,So the negative side in the gambling also the possible one.If the gamblers want to make the gambling as the source of revenue,it was essentially important one for the gambler to have the unique gambling strategy to make money.

When it comes to playing gambling then it would really be the most common approach for most gamblers on which we cant really be able to blame out because when it comes to
money making then gambling could really give out that instant profits or money and this is why it would really be that making them desperate on which we know that its never been that ideal
and its never been that recommended on having this kind of approach because this is what makes you desperate and this could really be ended up for you to end up miserable.
Basing up on the situation on what OP had been mentioned, then we cant really be sure if a certain individual isnt aware about sports betting. If they've been involved to slots
then it is hard to believe that they arent aware of those sports around. So its better that you should mind your own business.  :D

That is the complex and often problematic nature of gambling. The allure of quick profits can lead gamblers to become desperate and make irrational decisions that leads to negative consequences. While it's understandable that some people may turn to gambling as a means of making money, there are risks involved and potential for addiction and financial hardship. Gambling should never be seen as a guaranteed way to make money, because the odds are typically stacked against the player in the long run.

Assuming someone's awareness of sports betting based on their involvement in other forms of gambling, such as slots, can be misleading. Each people's gambling preferences and knowledge base can vary significantly, and it's not productive to make assumptions about someone else's interests or awareness. Responsible gambling practices and approaching gambling with caution and mindfulness is essential in mitigating the potential harms associated with excessive or problematic gambling behavior.

As you guys don't know each other properly so it won't be wise to start conversation with him directly about his gambling. He may feel uncomfortable when a stranger randomly start advising him! And if a person can go to casino for playing slot machines, then i assume he already have knowledge about sport betting too. So he may play slot machines for fun even it is also possible that, he isn't regular in gambling.you still don't have the actual information at all. So whatever you can do, just frankly start talking with him if you are excited enough. And then you may ask him about his opinion about gambling and if he does gambling or not. Thus you can discuss with him and let him know about your opinion, rather than advising him directly

Also im not really that too confident on having those kind of approach into other people and telling something about on how or what are the things should he be betting.
Just like on others been saying above that its none others business on how you would really be making your own bets and what are the games that you would be dealing with.
You can do whatever you do want with your money and just let people do bet on the things on which they are really that interested on betting with since every person
does have that different interest when it comes to the things that they are seeing around. So it would be a personal choice i should say.

The latest situation from my last meeting with my friend a few days ago.

We met again at a friend's house. I will use capital letters for the names of my friends who often play slots. I gave the initial "H" to my friend's name.

At a friend's house, we were still talking about our last meeting. He said he had tried to place bets on sports betting again to remember his memories of the last World Cup. Yes, he succeeded in winning some money. And this time, it was quite a lot of money. Then he said he had placed several bets on football matches that he knew well and was just waiting for the results. He didn't say which football game match but that's okay.

And I still do not say about crypto sportsbooks to see how it develops. He said he really enjoyed his football games, and even though he lost 2 bets, it was okay because that's how sports betting is. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. He also said that to be able to win, we must be able to find a team that has a better playing performance than the opposing team. But he admitted that he still liked playing slots even though he started placing bets on sports betting.

The conversation that day made it clear to me that he still enjoyed  playing slots besides betting on sports.

Only but a very few does gambling for entertainment and fun and if you want to check it by percentage I will say by my point of view they are less then 10% gamblers who actually gamble for the sake of entertainment and fun, they others literally gamble to make money and that's why we have many who easily get addicted to gambling.

Making gambling as your full time job is so not reasonable because that would mean you setting up your self for disappointment except you have another means of income, a source that will help you cushion the effects of some bad and unlucky days that may set in els you may suffer bankruptcy from gambling which may possibly lead you to addiction in gambling aswell, most gamblers who gamble for the sake of been able to make money from gambling without having another source of income, easily get addicted especially when they are about exhausting their money and they begin to chase losses.

True, circumstances become one of the factors that ultimately become an excuse for them to gamble with the aim of earning, I remember that when we were still in the covid - 19 situation many people around me and one of them was my friend who lost his job who eventually turned to gambling as a place to earn, this is the worst situation due to the intolerable needs of life that in the end you will justify all means to be able to make money by putting aside other aspects such as the possible risks that exist in gambling and also that can never be separated from the name gambling. This is one of the reasons that most gamblers come, they can come with an urgent situation that overrides the possibility of risk and they can also deliberately override the risk even though they are not in an urgent situation.

Either way I can confirm that they will end up in a much worse situation when you try to make gambling as a place to earn, on the other hand we must understand that gambling is a profitable business for the casino as a whole and not for the players, what I mean is that the main purpose of the bookie establishing a casino is for their own benefit and this is the reason why it is absolutely not recommended to make gambling as a place to earn, Maybe you already know that losses usually dominate far more than wins and that's natural because your losses are profits for the casino, on the other hand if the strategy can bring you a lot of wins then I think many gamblers have become rich people, but the fact is that the opposite is true. :)

I doubt the percentage of people that gamble just for the fun of it is so low, more than ever people understand the math behind gambling and they recognize that unless they had a winning strategy then they have no chance at all to beat the casino.

But despite this knowledge people like to gamble, I know this may seem to not make a lot of sense but that is incorrect, as if most people are gambling for the fun they can get, then we can easily explain why people gamble despite the losses they incur and how online gambling has gotten so popular lately.

Playing gambling with money that we are ready to lose is a must for us so that we know that if we have used up all our money for gambling, we don't need to deposit more money to continue gambling. That will just increase the number of losses even bigger because we don't know when we can win. If we can anticipate more losses, it should benefit us because we still have money for other things while we can still allocate some money to gamble another day. Someone who can allocate or manage their finances, including preparing a certain amount of money for gambling, will not experience financial difficulties because they know how to react to it. We must be able to manage the use of money for gambling or other things so that we don't experience any disturbances and can still enjoy the gambling game and also won't become addicted to gambling. When playing gambling, it is highly recommended to be able to use the money we can afford so that that is what we can lose from gambling.

Those who can use gambling well will not think about gambling too often because they know that gambling is very difficult to win, and they may even experience defeat more often, so they will set limits in gambling. They will not chase after winning but will just enjoy their free time from gambling and will immediately stop gambling when they see that their gambling time is over and must immediately do other activities. This is a form of responsibility that they can take to remember when they can gamble and when they should stop gambling. And it seems that @OP's friend is someone who can control himself well in gambling games because he has so far shown no signs that he is addicted to gambling like other gamblers who are addicted to gambling. Well, let's hope he doesn't experience any problems gambling.

This person isn't a family member, not even your friend, why are you trying to get into someones else business? There is no way someone won't know about sports bets when they are into casino gambling games like slots, he must have choose to continue his journey with slots instead.

I have know sports bet before slots became my favourite, I do enjoy slots even when I don't win often, but sports is pretty good for someone that cares only about making money, it's pure entertainment for me, either sports or slots, but I always go back into slots because of it's simplicity.

Depending on the slot game, as some are boring as hell, few have good sound track and they remind me of the old Neogeo console era where soundtrack is everything, I just like slots but you are right that it's possible to win more in sports bet, it's just that everyone have a reason why they stay with a game. 

There is no unique strategy in gambling that one can use to make money. In gambling, you can either win or lose based on your luck, nothing else can have any influence on the results of your gambling as long as you are playing gambling games, if you are playing skill-based games or engaging in sports betting, that's a different thing, but if it's about gambling games, there is no way you can use a certain strategy and maximize your winnings in casino games.

So, a wise person knowing all these facts and realities about gambling would never consider gambling a source of income because they would know that there is no guarantee that one can win at every single session. After all, you can't be lucky all the time.

IMO in cases like this I think it is optional where it depends on what gambling we will do.
If we only gamble in some direct games such as lotteries or slot games then in the game that is done surely this will not be able to use strategy because luck determines more in the gambling that is done but when we gamble using tactics and brains such as poker or indirect games in sportsbooks then I think strategy is still in control even though the luck done is definitely there but still the initial strategy in determining the probability so this strategy is very important in gambling.

So we cannot generalize the strategy in this case because after all this depends on the type of game we like in a gambling.

And if you are tending to explain something on someone on the things that they should bet on then you might be getting be ashamed if ever you would be introducing betting but actually they have been making bets
for long time. It did really just turn out that the moment you have seen him/her is that they do make some slot gaming. Its understandable in speaking about the concern on trying out to make those kind of advises and recommendations but it would be better to leave them alone rather than on making yourself that ignored just because you have just been talking some nonsense thing.

Mind your own business and focus with your own gambling  activity rather than on making yourself do make out those recommendations on which we dont even know on what other
peoples gambling activity background or simply there's no way that we could be able to know on what are the things ahead.
This is why it would be better that you should really be playing on your own and dont mind others activities.

No. it's not necessarily so. You can follow the game after it has started. Then, if your favourite team is losing the odds will go up compared to what was before the game. And if you are confident that your team will win in the end you a bet on the live match with good odds and enjoy a good multiplier in the case of winning.

It's not only about being confident or not, one shouldn't approach another person and invite them to gamble, especially if the person that you are writing is someone who knows you very closely. The reason behind this is that you will be blamed for inviting them to gamble if they lose money in gambling, they will say they were doing fine and then you came to them, invited them to gamble and then they lost their money. I know that they can't ask you to return their money, but it's still not a good thing.

Such habits of people are the reason why I never recommend gambling to anyone because I don't want to take the blame. I don't even recommend cryptocurrencies to people because of this fear of them blaming me if they become unlucky and lose money.

Well things can be and can be very different from what we expect, whenever we enter a casino because everyone has their style and their way of seeing things, there is no other way, for example I have my style in first searching my money ready to lose, and I didn't learn this by playing, I learned that in the radio, that's why some things about trading are applicable to gambling, but gambling is something that we must have a lot of attention, we can't give ourselves alone There are many ways, some people believe that just by playing and putting in a lot of money you will earn more, in theory you can win. But if you bet more money, the problem is that if you lose the money, how could it be done? e something that is not worth it is something that we will always see as the best thing to do, so when we are looking for a better way to tackle things we will Realize that it will Always be Seen that way.

The strategy of looking for money willing to lose is the Only option that I have discovered so far that can be the best, there is no doubt, so when we are looking for the least way to make money with our money and make the most of our Way to play for me and that , and that Considering that money is the best option for everything, to be able to do well with each of our things, in the casinos we have to be very quick in decisions because basically what has to be done is Being able to have the best option to do it and I think that the best option is to be able to have what it takes to find the most appropriate way to play, have fun, make money and not lose a lot, or at least not become decapitated, for that you have to have a lot of responsibility and very mesuar , with these tips Because well they Prevent one from Committing crazy things.

Even if he knew the person very well, it would still not be wise for him to give advice about sports betting, I had already commented on this here, but I will repeat myself because this is something I could see in my country. People always tend to blame other people when something goes wrong. so what would have happened if he had given the advice to keep betting, and that the guy would have listened to that advice and started betting on the games, he could probably even do well in the beginning and that would make him more confident and he would start increasing the money He plays because in his head, he would be invincible and would have a lot of money by betting more money, this is what most people do when they start with sports betting

and with this guy's case it would be no different, but we all know that even if someone is good at sports betting, there is still a chance that person will lose a bet, and again with this guy it would be no different, eventually he would lose a bet and then start having sequence of defeats, the problem is that confident people do not accept losing, so the guy would chase losses, the serious mistake that many people make and would soon lose a lot of money, he would get angry, and consequently he would look for someone to blame, he would not accept that the only person to blame is himself. he would look at the person who told him about sports betting as being the only and greatest culprit and would start to hate the guy who told him about sports betting, in certain cases these types of people even seek revenge against those who told him about sports betting

The gambler who doesn’t agree with the advice of the stranger,no one force them to do the follow of the stranger advice.The person who want to play the slot game or any of the casino games,it is more better to play with your own strategy.Because the game of the casino was use to change with the short duration like every 20-30 minutes.So following some one strategy blindly or blindly following the same strategy till the end of the game.Both will give you loss at the end of the game,So you play the game with varying strategies to the game based on the changing algorithm of the gambling site was more important here.

This is a very basic instinct on most people, in which if they happen to win then it was because of their own merits, but if they were to lose then an external factor must be blamed, and you can be sure that if you were the reason why they were gambling on the first place you will receive all the blame for their losses, and it is even possible they may suspect that you obtained something out of their misfortune.

So your posture to not recommend gambling or even this market to others makes all the sense in the world.

Success often leads to overconfidence and recklessness, which I've seen too often. After losses, a cycle of chasing losses often causes financial and emotional turmoil. Understanding that sports betting talent is limited is crucial. Luck is important, and the odds are against the bettor. Giving advise requires caution and knowledge of the repercussions. Being responsible for what we do and what we encourage others to do.

The issue is accountability. Its human nature to blame someone when things go wrong. Unfortunately, individual choices matter most in betting. Personal responsibility is typically learnt the hard way.

Usually when it has to do with casino games, slots, dog race and the rest of them, you can be rest assured that you are playing based on luck as you can hardly play any of these games and think that you have got the best strategy and that's what will really help you to be the best or be at advantage to be winning more games.

Gambling on sports game could some how be a bit better and considerable if you are using a strategy because it's very possible that at some point some teams get better than that other and applying strategy to getting these teams work usually come through because you are using the best a d suitable strategy a d then the dependency on luck is reduced and minimal and not very much like that of the casino games which the house have built already to keep the house at more advantage than the players.

I think everyone should agree that this type of gambling is like a click, scroll or slide game until you find the answer between winning or losing like slots then obviously all of that is a game that depends on how lucky you are in running the session, I heard that there are some people who believe too much in strategies or patterns that are rumored to bring you victory but I will say that it's all nonsense, I've tried it several times and still no good results or wins but when I play carelessly it turns out to win, and that means there is absolutely no way that you can use it to bring you to victory unless you are really lucky, nothing more than that.

Sports betting is another thing, although it is still based on the same gambling but there are some things that distinguish it from gambling types such as slot machines or dice, in sports betting it is mandatory to have and apply skills if you have them, because by using strategic analysis of the skills and knowledge you have then obviously you will be able to get closer to the possibility of winning, one of the differences is because in sports betting there is a track record of a team that you can use as a benchmark and consideration for making decisions, simply put sports betting is like combining skills with your luck.

The money mindset in gambling is the beginning of the failure of any gambler, and even if you will make the money, it's just advisable that you should not put your mind to it, otherwise, it will drive you beyond what you could imagine. Agreed, it may not be so convenient to say you want to be using money to gamble and only focus on the entertainment part, but if one can force himself to do it, it is the best. We should learn from the way and manner in which most people are losing their money in gambling, they are losing mainly because they are just desperate for money. Sadly, that money may never come if the right attitude towards gambling is not set in place. How can this right attitude be set in place when the mindset of the money to be made has clouded the decision of the gambler due to emotion? That's why we have to be so cautious when we gamble, and perishing the mindsets of the money to be made with desperation gives us an edge to focus on the important things to put in place.

Looking at the continuation of the Op's response, it sounds like they're beginning to be friends, and discussing more on gambling related matters. If they could work together that wouldn't be much problem. Talking frankly with the player is the right thing, so that he wouldn't pick up some argument. Gambling is a matter of choice, and he's quite okay with his slot games, despite being a sport man. I don't think any of the is doing the wrong thing, but Op shouldn't cross his boundaries.

The gambler who want to multiple their money in the gambling site leads to the big loss in the gambling site,the greedy of making huge money in the gambling site will leads to the gambling loss.So the risk should be avoided by the gamblers and play the greedy free gambling games.The greedy was the biggest reason for the gambler losses in gambling site by making huge money as the betting each time.

The profit will be more if they betting with high capital for each betting.But the negative one is the profit possibilities will be loss and losing is more.When the gamblers loss the money should not triggered by making money in the next game.The deposit of money after the loss should be avoided because the next game is based on the emotions.So the money will be lost due to emotional game.

Maybe what is meant is not just a unique strategy but also requires a high level of strategy or skill if you want to bet on sports betting. In fact, any type of gambling game still requires luck in it, even though you have used various strategies to win, there is no guarantee, but There are also some people who are successfull in sports betting and they are lucky with their predictions according to the results of the bets they play. But there are also those who are not successful with their predictions.

Someone who understands how gambling works will not think that gambling is considered a source of income or used as their main means of employment because they really understand the risks of gambling, so they don't dare to take the risk of thinking like that, they only use gambling as entertainment and set a budget that they can afford to lose only and not exceed the limit.

When it comes to sports betting then there would really be those main factors on which it would really be affecting your overall profitability or winning rate on which it would really be that differ to each gambler
since when it comes to decision making and other correlated things to it,  then there would really be that different reasons for us to take on. Basing up on the situation given above then we cant really be able to
tell if someone doesnt really have knowledge or doesnt really have any idea on what sports betting is. You would really be having in mind on telling someone about it but you dont know that if he had
already that known long time already which longer on you.

If you wont really be not liking on getting ashamed on the acts that you have done, then it would be always best that you should really be letting those people
do on what they do want. Its their money and its their rights on how they would gonna spend it even if it means on actively dealing up with slot games.

I don't see gambling as a thing to introduce one to. In the line of pursuing money, people choose different approach to it, some have passion for certain things, whether it pays them large or small, they just love it.

If you go to such a person to sway him away cos you think he can do better in the alternative, you might be destroying him, do not also forget that if he has no passion for the alternative, he might incur series of losses despite knowing about the game. If such happens, you will always be blamed.

That's most likely what will happen if his friend losses money after switching to sports betting. It's better to treat gambling as entertainment and then it doesn't matter in which field you are an expert. Just do it for fun, and maybe you can win big one day because of good luck, but don't try figure out how to make money on it regularly.

It is better to let him have fun with the slot games he plays, yes even though we know that the person knows about the world of soccer and often watches ball games, maybe for him it is more fun to play slots than to bet on the ball, honestly a scenario that we don't know in that position maybe the person referred to by the OP is a soccer gambler too but indeed he is bored to bet on the ball game so he plays slots. Or scenarios like the one you considered before that could happen.

I agree with what you said, don't look for regular wins or profits from gambling, it's a mistake in responding to gambling, entertainment venues are places to spend money.

Many people are familiar with gambling and play it. They gamble because they want to have fun. But many people also want to make money from gambling. Those people who chase money have experienced a lot of losses. That doesn't stop them from gambling so they still gamble because they want to win the gambling game.

Maybe he doesn't need to be introduced to sports betting because he already seems to be familiar with sports betting if I read @OP's explanation. Leave it alone if he still likes slot games and there's no need to get him to switch to sports betting unless he asks him what casino site @OP uses.

Chasing winnings is not fun anymore but was just desperation and it mostly ended up losing more. The worst scenario is we commit loans. Indeed, the majority do not understand fully what is gambling because what is in their mind is that it is a good earning opportunity that makes them instantly rich when hit the jackpot prize.

When introducing to someone, we also need to know what he likes and what he knows. Having into a place where we have knowledge seems to be our advantage and I see that sports betting suits that person over slot games. He would lose more as expected rather than winning.

If he's enjoying what he's doing, maybe let him do what he's doing, after all, that's what's important that we enjoy what we're doing gambling, right? I have been gambling for a long time, but I have never experienced gambling in sports betting because I am not a family member of teams like Football and others.

Maybe you're used to and familiar with sports betting teams, so you're probably saying things like that that you suggest to the gambler you've seen because you've seen that he has what's called the ability to win because of his family in the teams that play, . is that right?

Chasing winnings is not fun anymore if we only do that with desperate and we know that people who do that only end up with lose much money. Most people doesn't fully understand what is gambling because they only see an ads in the internet and seeing some people can win much money. That attracts them to try and most people do that using much money without thinking about the big loss they can get in the end. They think they can rich from gambling especially when they can win the jackpots yes, they can rich from gambling but, that is not easy to get.

To introduce someone to the other gambling games, we must know if he can accept of what we give to them or not because if they don't like it, they will not try and will stick to the games they used before. Maybe he is good at slot games so he still use slot games to playing gambling.

Right. It's entertainment purposes only. Have your fun, rest from hard work with gambling, it's perfect those purposes, but don't try to make your living from it. It's ridiculous. You don't try to make money from visiting theatres, do you?

Some people make it their source of living where they always fail since it's a game of probability and most of the time they won't be successful so they always get home with stress. Others also become addicted to it which makes them forget everything including their priority in life and this is the worst one since it will not only affect themselves but also affect their families as well. I see some guys who are like this and their wives are forced to work because they are not bringing enough money anymore since they spend it on their playing after work. It should not be like this and people should take his priority first before spending on any others that will benefit him.

I think that guy already knows sports betting since he is knowledgeable in sports, and if he is interested in it he would be doing it instead of online casino.
There are people who gambles for fun not purely for the profit, and I think this guy belongs to the ones who gamble for fun.
Besides if he is interested in sports betting he only needs to search for it in the internet and there would be tons of website for him to use.

Yes, it is true that we don't need to force someone's habit of playing gambling like we do, even though he seems to be an expert in sports betting, it doesn't necessarily mean that he likes sports betting, so he prefers playing slot games, especially gamblers who are already used to one game. gambling that he is used to playing, such as slots, maybe because he likes playing games that expect luck compared to games that rely on knowledge and strategy.

Personally, if I were that person, of course I would be happy to bet on sports betting because it is a game that makes sense compared to playing slots which will not always give you a win, because slot games are very difficult to win, let alone get the jackpot, whereas in sports betting we can win bets because we knowing the many strengths of the teams in the match, that's probably why I would be happier betting on sports betting than slots, but coming back to that person, maybe that person is happier with slots because they are used to playing it, after all, if they are good at analyzing sports betting, that's not necessarily true. he can win there. The point is to always remind the person to gamble responsibly and consider any gambling as just for fun.  ;)

The risks involved in gambling is probably higher than we all expected, we should keep directing our energy to be resourceful in the system. Gamblers are open minded and ready to accept the essential profits in the system, but they will also keep their minds for afresh for the new events in the system. I know how hard it is for these newbies in the system to grab enormous profits but nothing to worry about. Greed is the origination of losses in the system. We make profits everyday and not relenting from the previous losses made either today or yesterday.

Do you know that person well? Do you know the characters and their backgrounds? Do you know his behavior in gambling? I think you need to know things like that before deciding to introduce yourself to a sports betting site. If he is indeed good at analyzing and really good at predicting I think it is much better to bet on sports betting than slot gambling. But what I'm worried about is will he get addicted to gambling? Is it because he feels he can predict correctly and then he will be so confident that he dares to bet such a large amount? I have a friend who is addicted to slot gambling and recently he has also become addicted to sports gambling. This would be very bad because he played in both. In fact, he was willing to spend his savings just because he felt he could predict correctly. So my advice is that if it's not someone you know, you shouldn't mind other people's business. Sorry bro.

I used to know a guy who was addicted to online poker, and he told me that he went to a movie with his family all he could do inside as thinking about various combinations of cards. Can you imagine? He couldn't concentrate on the film at all. Luckily for him he found a good specialist and cured from his addiction.

Money mostly change our decision and same as our attitude , if they are good about it then better to talk and act together for their own betterment .
while one is in slot gaming but for me Sports betting is much better choice in gambling because of the higher opportunity of winning than luck based game.

I also prefer sports betting because in sports betting people can spend hours analyzing the games and, if they have good skills, they will be able to get the bet right and make profits. in other words, it is a bet in which the greater the person's skill, the greater the chances of the person being successful and making a profit, which is why I don't get involved in gambling that depend on luck, I prefer to just focus on betting sports. Looking back I remember how sad it was the only day I played a gambling that depends on luck, I spent many hours playing, I made a 3x profit and instead of stopping playing and withdrawing what I had already won, I continued playing and started losing steadily for 2 hours and in the end I lost everything, I was wondering how it was possible that I had played for many hours

That day I understood something that scared me very much: not to play gambling that depend on luck, because I saw that I would go down a path to the abyss if I were to play any gambling that depends on luck again, and Since that day I haven't played any game that depends on luck, not even in the real world I don't play anything. I only focus on sports betting and only on football games and the main leagues in Europe because I can only spend a short amount of time playing gambling, I rest a lot, I've had a lot of time without playing, so my self control is very good that way, while the People who play games that rely on luck spend many hours playing and can easily become addicted

You can actually go ahead and talk to him tell him about sports betting it is a good idea what will definitely profit him tell him about it explain to him because most people challenges is the site they are betting from most betting site, and not well organized for you to understand just let him know. Tell him if he accepts fine if he doesn’t no problem, you just try to introduce a sport betting to him and you know how it will really affect him positively and also try to advise him if he is an addicted gambler to reduce.

Since you did manage to win some money and didn't stop gambling even after that, you should blame yourself instead of luck-based gambling in this situation because it was your self-control that could save you from those losses if you had stopped gambling and withdrawn your money when you had won 3x of your initial bankroll which isn't a small percentage.

So, though I agree that luck-based gambling isn't always favourable for the gambler and one mostly loses in it, I would say that a lot of gamblers have to face defeat because of themselves and their lack of patience and self-control because when you win and still don't stop gambling and then lose everything, it's your fault and this can happen to you even if you are in sports betting because if you win one game and use all the money for the next bet and then lose it, it's your mistake.

This is also unlikely that you will win if you bet on sports betting but it is true that you will lose less money there. Yesterday my friend bet with $170 and initially he had a good winning story but later he lost $80 although his error rate was high here. I told him to hold off for some time and bet again later but he did so out of greed. Financially i am weak now so i refrain from gambling but all my close friends have taken to gambling. Someone is winning again and again which motivates me again.

yeah That's what I'm saying also. It'll will be a very awkward situation when you directly start approaching him about gambling like spot batting!! Although it'll depend on personality how a person will react! Actually Sometimes we just start caring for other people, and we want them to do what we think as good for them. But reality could be different. But if someone feel very excited like OP, then I would advise to start normal conversation with that person and then discuss about gambling which will depend on his personality, attitude and situation.

Yes maybe sports betting can save you more money than some other types of games, but I think it is a fact that in the end it also depends on how the person treats his gambling activities, if for example they are able to control themselves and stop at the right time then actually whatever type of game you play then there is less chance for you to experience a large amount of loss, and from what you said about your friend then maybe I would say that he is one of those gamblers who cannot control himself and his emotions when he loses which in the end continues gambling instead of delaying and resting first.

And also from what you said you are in a bad financial situation and I would say that you have a good mindset by preferring to refrain and not gamble first, and I hope you are not influenced by some of your friends there, although their winnings look tempting but believe me that there is no guarantee that you will be able to be as lucky as them when you return to gambling, and you better wait for your financial situation to recover if you want to gamble again.

The reason he's playing slots may be because of the settlement time. The bets will be settled instantly, whereas with sports betting, one needs to wait till the match gets over to know the results of the bets. For this reason, people prefer spending much more on casino games than sports betting. As he's interested in watching sports, he could have better knowledge about different sports, but when it comes to betting, he is risking his money. Maybe he finds it difficult to make a prediction about the winner. As you've thought, it is good to suggest that he try sports betting, as it gives him better winning chances.

It's okay to suggest but I won't expect people to listen to me and follow my suggestion. There will be gamblers that know what they do and don't want to get disturbed so, if he shows that he's quite uncomfortable I'd better avoid him or get far from him and spare that time for him alone.
If he wants to talk to me then I'd come back and have to talk about what he's up to, that's the way it goes and it's totally fine if he wants my attention and asks for certain suggestions.

Exactly my dear , i guess his friend has a prior knowledge about sports betting before decided to invest on slots, while introducing sports betting for him there is need to let him know the importance or moreless the advantages of sports betting to slots so that he will not end up making conflict of choice which invariably will affect his gambling life. there are people who have good knowledge about sports betting and can make good analysis on every games and there predictions are always close to 100% but they prefer other games than sports betting for their own happiness. They probably like slots for fun and to make themselves happy not considering the amount that they stand to lose.

He certainly knows about sports betting, but he prefers to bet on slot machines because it gives him more pleasure and I also doubt that he prefers to bet on sports.
My suggestion... make a deal with him, seek knowledge and listen to the advice he has, you put in the money from the bets and promise to give him a small percentage of the winnings you get from this advice.
If you are successful, he will probably be more interested in it.

Just be careful not to have your trust betrayed, be honest, both in victory and in defeat.

Good luck!

Ideas like the OP conveyed, or also as you said, might be a new reference for someone told in this thread. But with a note, find out first if the person really doesn't know sports betting. With the knowledge and understanding he has, he can explore more types of sports betting. so, what you said to the OP could be an idea that might be good for someone we discuss in this thread. Moreover, it is supported by recommending trustworthy casinos that have a good reputation. anyway, I think otherwise. I read the OP's post carefully, especially as the man described in this thread has insight into sports. plus, he watches it often.

I highly doubt he doesn't know how to bet on sports. I mean, it could be that betting on sports isn't something foreign to him. Maybe he also likes betting on sports, but at the same time he likes other types of games. as the OP saw when the person was playing slot games, but because of our ignorance, we assumed that he didn't know how to bet on sports. The most ideal step to take is to approach. ask questions, and discuss various types of gambling with each other. Thus, at least we can conclude whether someone really doesn't understand sports betting. Or, he really likes various types of games. In conclusion, get to know it first before we express an idea.

Yes your very correct many watches football for fun but have their interest in other game I could remember one if my friend he watches football more than I do but don't love betting instead love to play pool, I believe too well that even at the point of introducing him if his interest is not there he may not give attention to it the best why introducing any game to some is to know where to person interest lies on because when you introduce something to someone who doesn't have such it's a waste of time.

What do you mean by pool? I made a search about it to see if it's a slot game but the result I got doesn't confirm that pool is a slot game rather it seems to be similar with the sport betting, someone that loves watching football will be at advantage to play the game.

Here is an explanation for how pool works

You cant be sure if he is unluck playing slots or if he has no idea about sports betting and still chose slot over it, what's best to is to tell him about it and see his reply, if he fancies what you are saying then they is room to teach him about and how to use sports betting.

And it could be that he doesn't like spending time to predict matches so he rather relies on slot for quick and easy picks.
