Why is it Sports Betting is better than other type of gambling?

[jhenfelipe]

I think it has more to do with the fact that there is a little more "skill" involved in sport betting than in other forms of gambling which usually rely purely on "luck"... like dice, roulette or slots... Blackjack is a bit of an exception, but only really in live games where the decks are not shuffled every hand.

But I digress... with sport betting, you can do a lot of research and analysis and make fairly good judgments about who will win and who will lose... of course, there is always an element of chance (bounce of the ball, bad call by referee/umpire, unforeseen injuries etc)... but by being informed and having a good understanding of the game, the competition and the teams/players involved, you can really get a lot of results correct...

however, this is the reason why a lot of the payouts for sports betting are so much lower and not as "attractive" to some gamblers... winning @1.05 on a surefire bet doesn't seem great compared to getting 2x payout on dice... but a 5% instant return on a near sure thing isn't really all that bad...

At the end of the day, sports betting comes down to you vs. the bookie... it isn't just mathematical chance and probability...

Very well explained HCP. I use the term advantage in defining it. In sports betting, you have an advantage when you have a background of how the team plays or if you know what are their stats on that sport. At least with that, chances of winning will be higher though it's still not guaranteed.

I want to know why people always pushing sports betting as a type of gambling that can give the punters the best chance to win? I need your opinion on the subject and hope you guys can share your informative comments here.

In fact we have some control over our money when going to place bet on sports betting, as per my experience I have almost over 70% win ratio with this, so that I think it's really high than any other option of betting, I am also pretty sure about this.

Because it's not just pure luck, depending on the teams competing each other.
You have stats with strength and weaknesses, actual performance, past results over a whole season, H2H and so on.
So lots of good information you have to know which to pick to make a good prediction.
That's why imo sports betting is so popular and is growing so fast.

Because the sports betting isn't so risky , like the other gambling types such casinos and Dices. If you have good knowledge you can win likely, regardless your luck

In my own opinion sports betting have higher chance of winning compared to any gambling game since you could eventually study a certain player or team about their histories and standing in that case you could make such prediction depending on your observation which totally increase winning rate but we'll it does still need of luck.

You are very wrong if the assumed Sports gambling has no risk. all the gambling that exists in the world is definitely a risk, so we must be careful in doing gambling. There is a small risk that has gambling, yeah that's true but if we can't control yourself or without a good thought-obsessed then it would be a big loss for us

We can benefit from data analysis on sports betting. But other games like slot and baccarat are luck games.

[Arcteryx]

I have always thought that it is more realistic than other sorts of gambling.
It is real life game playing in a live time that is either one way or another on the outcome.
Isn't that the best type of sort of betting there is?

[airezx20]

I also always had the same thinking that sports betting is much much better than gambling in casinos or even in dice sites.Because in sports betting its not only about luck,you can use your knowledge about sports and make strategies to gain some profit,where as other gambling just depends only on luck.

[fulgdenea]

If we are good to make analysis of playing team than nothing can be better than sports betting, sports betting have more fun and better chance to make profit while to play on boring luck based games, sports betting bring twist into our life and we can enjoy the live match with more interesting way.

Betting on sports is not blind gambling,it is kind of science,to be succesfoul you need to learn statistic from the past.Whan you will learn you can make good money.Very important is odds,so choose site what is giving best odds,i bet on ukhorse racing,not easy,but i have learned and i am in profit

[chixka000]

Simple because aside from you can somehow support your favorite team  you can assure that you are not being manipulated by those gambling sites. And ofcourse you can also enjoy watching the game

[roadbits]

Why because in slot games if we use any strategy means sometimes it will work and many times it is not functioning. The result is always lost. But in sports betting it is not like that, if we know about games we can easily predict the game and we place our bet. And more importantly, the winning does not depend on house edge. So our profit/loss depends on our strategy and our guessing.

While many will agree and me too that in sports betting by doing researches on the event you want to bet will give you an edge, judging the games of soccer lately, champions league, europa league and yesterday Chelsea losing at home to Liverpool you cannot call it anymore safer than other forms of gambling.

In fact it has become so difficult that about 85% of people who think they are good at it, keep losing and only 15% of sport bettors may be consistent winners.

[bitlancr]

With sport betting you can just bet on the better team which gives you a bigger chance of winning, you do earn less money of you do that.
But people just bet huge amounts of money on the better team so that they will make much money of that.

[Phildo]

There is a possibility that you can make a good bet while betting on sports, which means that it is possible to make money doing it.

You cannot make a good bet on a roulette table or a dice site. They are all mathematically bad bets, and it can be proven that they are bad bets.

Since we don't know the exact probability of an event happening in sports, we can't know definitively that a bet is a bad bet. If the bookie thinks that team A has a 50% chance of winning, and in reality they have a 60% chance of winning, and you know that, you can make a good bet.

That just isn't possible in other types of gambling. Whatever you are betting on, the house knows the odds of you winning, and pays you out less than they should. They don't KNOW the odds of a team winning, so they have to guess, and they can guess wrong, and then people can make money.

All type of game as long as gambling is so risky, it is just a matter of choosing what type of game that will give your the best entertainment and I guess sports betting can be more entertaining as while you are betting you can watch the game live and if you are an sports enthusiast it would really interest you as you think you have the advantage over the bookies.

because in sporsbetting if we know about each of team and we know how they play, what is their strategy, how much they win for all the games the play, then we can get best a chance to win much of money, of course we should make our prediction work for us.

in making prediction of sports betting, we should all of the info about the games, at least 75%-85% info, so we can make prediction to winning the games. but its back to our fortune and our luck and the luck of the teams.

Sports Betting is better than other types of gambling ?

The main reason is for sports betting you need 10% luck and 90% analysis, reports generating. It means in sports betting you can get full details about the teams who are going to face each other, their performance , their stats between each other, and recent development of the teams and the ground stats. Like this their are so many option through which you you do a small hardwork and do research then you can surely come to an prediction of that match that how many goals are going to perform and how the team players are going to react.

So with this all strategy you can 90% win the safe bet , but in other gambling games what ever strategy you use in the end you will be in loss but not in sports betting.

What makes sports betting much more better is diversity of options and chances to have best one with small to big odds. This makes it much more interesting is everyone like's some sport and it seems easier to place bets. In other gambling games you have no other options than winning or loosing which is kind boring practice.
