Which has better odds, lottery, online gambling, or sports betting?

[ethereumhunter]

I think the gambling type with a greater chance of winning might be sports betting because analyzing the team that will compete and finding the team that has the chance to win can also give us a chance to win.

But it will also depend on the situation when the match takes place because there are matches that can reverse the direction of the situation so that the sports bets that we place will not win. And that's when the luck we hope for will leave us and we will not be able to win.

Sports gambling. You still have some manner of control after all since it's not exactly luck, but rather the judgment of people, skill, etc., and the amount of information you have We can say that the luck involved in it is rather minimal (but it's still there), assuming you were playing properly though, and, well, not full-on "gamble".

Gambling would be next, it's pretty reliant on luck but there are a lot of various types and varieties, each with different rules, so I'd consider it better than lottery. The lottery is pretty much the simplest and most luck-reliant type, I can still consider certain gambling games to require some judgment skills (like poker, and blackjack), but lottery imo is just full-on luck.

We have an active gambling discussion section and I would very much love to hear the opinions of experienced gamblers on which has better odds, lottery, online gambling, or sports betting?

I also have to pick sports betting out of the three, because in sports betting you have the choice to pick a specific match and market that you find worth betting on, and sometimes the odds that the sportsbook offers could be less accurate than what you expect. Overall, there are more factors in sports betting that can allow gamblers to get better odds of winning compared to the other two even though sportsbooks slowly put more juice in their lines it's still the better choice since you can avoid unnecessary losses.

I agree with the previous replies that point to sports gambling as the best, but it's not so much an issue of odds, as it seems that EV+ bets can be made. I don't particularly bet on sports, but I've seen interviews of people who do and it seems it was easier to win years ago (as in everything), especially on secondary sports. The bookmakers realising they had winning players on those players paid attention and adjusted the odds, although it is still possible to win.

I particularly like the lottery even if the odds are worse, and I explain: even with casino games I prefer to bet on games where the probability of winning is low but if I win a prize is high. If I play roulette I prefer to bet on a single number rather than on red and black. So, the lottery would be the maximum exponent of this example, although it lacks the entertainment part, for that I prefer casino games.

I understand why a lot here are choosing sports betting. It's certainly because you can choose which team will probably win. You have a more or less reliable basis. In other words, you are not betting blindly. You can actually make an informed bet.

However, since we are talking here of odds, I don't agree that sports betting has the best. I think casino games like dice and the like are better. Most often, the house edge will only be around 1%.

In a sports match that is considered 50:50, you can have odds like 1.85 or at most 1.90. Or let's just say there is 1.95. Again, that's for a match that is 50:50. In other words, you can pick either team with those equal odds. In a dice game, on the other hand, if you choose a 50% winning chance, you can actually have a payout of as high as 1.98 or even 1.99.

That, to me, is a proof that online games are the best, at least in terms of odds.

Sportsbetting can be the most fairest one if you play through the least cheated regions. It only takes a knowledge and experience to get accurate results in sports betting. You need to watch matches and you should be familiar with teams, their managers (when they are goalkeeper is injured etc.) to be on point. I don't know much people making money through other options but I know at least 2-3 people who are making good money just by sports betting.

In a lottery, players compete against other players. A lottery’s prize fund is set in advance and the lottery operator does not participate in the game.

In real lottery, it is not players against players but players against the house where players buy tickets/numbers. If you are talking about "pvp lottery", it is better to call it by raffle. In real lottery, the odds is obviously the worst among other gambling games because the chance of winning is so small but there is a chance to win big with low stake.

In gambling, players compete individually against the gambling operator. It is in the gambling operator’s interest to win against the players.

Gambling is not all players against the house, there is a type called by pvp gambling game such as raffle and poker. So it is better if you do not say gambling in general is completely players vs house. Odds for common gambling game against the house is depending on the type of the game. We can see from the house edge of the game to know about the odds.

In Sports betting - In sports betting players places wagers on sports that include but not limited to football, basketball, baseball, hockey, track cycling, auto racing, mixed martial arts, and boxing at both the amateur and professional levels.

In general, sports betting can be the best odds but it will always based on ourselves. If we do not know about sports, it will be the worst odds as we may play it blindly.

Even though sportsbetting you have full control over your bet to determine the possible outcome of the fight based on your choice, but don't forget a favorited team or fighter doesn't always win the fight. I don't think there's an analysis before you make a bet. Actually if you're familiar with the team, managers etc usually you're let your emotional to pick a team who's you favorited. Sometime a lucky underdog can pull an upset and make your huge bet lose.

I saw someone posting some odds on one of my local National lotteries, where they said that the odds was 1 in 13,983,816 chance of winning. (I guess the person took out 1 ticket and there were 13,983,816 tickets sold) 

Sport betting can be good for some and bad for others, because it depends on your knowledge about Sports and your skill level with Sport betting. (How you use the odds in your favor)

The Slots depends on the RTP and Variance and also your client seed, so I would rank them as the worst games to play, if you want some ROI. (Some casinos have their own in-house games with a very good RTP, but you will have to test it, before you play it ..to see if it is hot or not) 

[Silberman]

Sportsbetting is the best, if you are good. Pretty bad if you're bad.

Regular gambling would be next but varies hugely on which game you play. Best to play low house edge provably fair games.

Lottery is by far the worst, unless there's a huge jackpot, which very seldom ever happen, if ever.

This is the right answer, the only exception to this is if you happen to be one of the few people which can beat one of the casino games, in which case regular gambling will be ahead of sports betting, a good example of this is card counting in which under some circumstances the player can have probabilities that are ahead of the casino, and during that time they can bet a lot of money to increase their profits, however casinos are aware of this strategy and it is very difficult to implement it without the casino noticing it, but other than that this is correct.

[Docnaster]

Among all the types listed, it is sportsbetting that I trust very well. It is dependent on your ability to know the skill and form of the players involved and make your provision. It has zero manipulation unless on the event of match fixing which is very much frowned at.
For lottery, I don't know how it works but I have the feelings that there is a big manipulation in it.

[Plaguedeath]

Lottery is suck since the odds is really small, although if you win you will get a huge prize.

Online gambling, RTP will make the house always win. But if the casino has an interesting promotion and contest, gamblers can take this benefit to recover his losses and would make profit if you're a high roller.

Sports betting, we can freely choose which fighter or team will win the fight and there's many selection of betting option. I think for professional gambler, they can make profit from sports betting.

[TravelMug]

I guess if the OP put a poll, it will be sports betting for sure.

Unfortunately, games like slot machines are really that attractive for the majority of gamblers and probably this is one of the wildly games being played next to dice or vice versa, very easy to play and it's exciting and enjoyable.

For lottery, the odds is not on our favor here, and this is the very definition of what luck base is. High risk but if you hit that, damn, you will be a millionaire just like that.

[danherbias07]

Sports betting, no doubt for me.
I have played different online betting games and all of them are luck-based, or system based.
Unlike sports, you could literally enhance the chance to win a bet with a deep analysis of the game. Sure, there will be losses but it doesn't mean it will always go that way unless you are doing it wrong. Greed is also a factor if you are going for just the money line or lesser profits accepting higher odds but the chance becomes more possible to win. Plus, minus.
Emotions could also block your reasoning, so keep it controlled.

[QueenVera]

I think proper acquaintancy in sport betting will give to you greater chances of winning as there are different games and opportunities present in sport betting and it comprises of other sports not justk making stakes in just a single game.

But I think everyone is making sense over here base on their choices and also the results they might have gottenso far from either of the three options you gave.
For instance, I might be very good at sport betting and making a fortune out of it, but meanwhile some other person is serious regretting why he or she knew about sport betting.

N/B stick to what works for you and don't be easily influenced as no one post their failures

[Strongkored]

sports betting?

Sports betting for sure, but actually there are many factors that can make bettors win bets, not only knowledge, in my opinion the frequency of bettors making bets can affect because often do betting will make it easier for bettors to predict every outcome that is likely in every match, for example in football, the more often to bet it will make our predict accuracy high even though it will be unexpected things can happen
The lottery in my opinion is just for fun, even though the chance to get a huge prize is in lottery but the chance to win it is very small

[Cryptomiles1]

From my experience I have been actively on sports betting and I think is more comfortable to deal with because it only requires you to know the clubs very well and make your predictions. Sport betting is the most common activity to engage oneself especially footballing and wrestling.

[ultrloa]

Selection will always depends on people favorite games to bet. But I can say that sportsbetting will give you huge chance of winning because we all need is familiarity with the sports we are betting on. If we know which team is so strong and which is not then we can use this knowledge to bet on which of them have higher advantage. Although this will not guarantee us to win always but familiarity will always matter on this.

Statistically yes, because if you know that this team is stronger than the other, that can be added to your odds of winning, but this still depends on people, as some will say that it takes long to gain profit from it or not huge profits than others, unlike other gambling games where they can interact while betting. The lottery has the lowest odds for me but the highest prize of all, but you will only be relying on your luck to win, you will be betting just small amount of money but a high prize if you win.

You need familiarity since this is your key to get higher advantage to win on every sports you bet and you can analyze some upcoming game results base on the the team facing of as well as the players availability. By this you can figure out which of those team can give you more higher chance to win that's why I always choose sportsbetting especially if there's big events coming like NBA playoffs or even finals  and World Cup.

In my opinion, sports betting is the most promising in terms of winning. 

At the same time, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary analysis of the situation and be well versed in this type of sports competition.  The ideal situation is when the player has insider information, but this is usually impossible, and in many cases even prohibited by law. 

When taking part in a lottery or other game of chance based on luck, a player must be aware that, according to the mathematical theory of probability, the probability of winning is lower than the probability of losing.

[Saisher]

I have seen a lot of huge winning coming from sports betting which is why this has the best odds among the three, although there is luck involved in it if you can give a good analysis and adept at the sports you're betting, then you have a good chance to win the lottery has the lowest odds, you can bet for years and cannot hit the jackpot, have also seen people betting for so many years until they give up because the odds are so low.
