Live Sports Betting vs virtual Games Betting

[Hatchy]

I've been hearing a lot of debates about this recently, both online and in my local area, and it got me thinking. When it comes to sports betting, do you prefer the thrill of live sports events or the calculated nature of virtual games?

Personally, I've realized that I have a higher success rate with virtual games, but live sports events offer that adrenaline rush that's hard to beat. It's a common dilemma for many bettors. I usually love betting on virtual games giving me this sure vibe that my odds might play out. Live sports can be unpredictable, and if you don't place the right bets, you might go home empty-handed.

So, I'm throwing the question out to all of you. Which type of sports betting gets your heart racing and your wallets fattening up? Do you have a preference, and if so, why?

I don't think they are two comparable game modes.
with a live match you can always evaluate the status of the players on the field, there is a history, in short ... lots of information and data that helps you in your bet evaluation.
A virtual game is practically already determined and you never have these reference points that you would find in a live game... I See this as a cruciale differenze that really matters!

I'm more into real action, so I prefer sports betting between the two. However, I think it varies from gambler to gambler since we don't all have the same preferences. I also believe that both are popular, but obviously, sports betting is the bigger industry here, and it was popularized before virtual games betting. Maybe that's why I remain loyal to sports betting because I learned it first, and personally, I love sports, so it really adds an enticing element to gambling while watching your favorite sports.

Regarding profitability, I wouldn't say much because I have nothing to boast about. I'm just a regular gambler, content with small gains, and can easily accept losses.

I've heard this too from a friend. He also had success with virtual sports games and other virtual games and he even invited me to test it out but the problem is I don't have the appetite for the said games unlike how it is from watching basketball which answers the last question of OP. Yes, basketball still makes my heart race when my bet is near winning or on the brink of losing. I prefer the NBA but I also watch other leagues like the FIBA last time and the Olympics this upcoming year.
I had success with live sports betting too but the only problem is the time. It's a 12 hours difference so sometimes I am still sound asleep while the games are already starting. Live betting can be profitable but still you must have the love for the game for a higher success of winning your bets.

In sport gambling, I prefer in-play most. In-play is betting on a real match, not virtual matches or betting. In bookies, I prefer reality and I gamble using virtual matches at times and which is very rear. In in-play matches, the result csn be very fast and it would have been settled during the match. Although virtual betting has the advantage of not taking more than 30 seconds and some gamblers like that. If you go to betting agent, you will see many people in the place betting on virtual matches for over many minutes to some many hours. But I prefer real sport betting.

Well everyone is entitled to his or her own view of the one that's more beneficial to them but for me I prefer betting on live events to playing online virtual games because virtual games consumes lots of money within a short interval and sometimes as you keep losing on vituals the more you keep on playing and before you know it you must have exhausted all the money in your pocket. Even if people records winning on virtual, the rate is very few.

Online live sports betting gives you and edge especially when a strong team is losing to a weaker opponent you will see the odds go high and one can still gamble the stronger side to win with the increments of their odds and before you know it the stronger side equalizes the match and wins. Again you spend less on live events as until the end of the event you may not be able to stake again. There is also possibility for you to judge the outcome of the match while the match is live as their are most cases when we judge a match base on odds but as soon as the match starts you see that the opponent are performing better so you can decide to give the odd to the best performing team while the match is still on.

And aside from the ability to analyze the players on the team and what the level of their performance are in live games,  live game still offers the best option if you know how to follow up with the game properly you will end up winning higher than you lose,  unless if you get too greedy to allow your game to play out 100% that way you are likely not going to win the bet at the end since on live event a lot of things happened almost toward the extra time and that is something we have to consider all the time.

If I may advise anyone,  it so better to always use the cash-out feature available to be able to take home something instead of risking losing everything trying to reach the very end of the game.

Since I am not so familiar with virtual betting, I made some research regarding that one before I post my commnet.

So here's what I found.

Popular Virtual Sports to Bet On
There are a variety of virtual sports available to bet on in the US, and more are popping up all the time. Here are some of the most popular games:

Virtual soccer
Virtual horse racing
Virtual greyhound racing
Virtual tennis
Virtual basketball
Virtual motorsport
Virtual football
Virtual cycling
Virtual darts

Most of the sports listed also have sports betting odds, like the real ones. So, it wouldn't make sense for me to bet on a game like virtual basketball when there's an ongoing NBA season, which is my favorite. For me, it's sports betting.

Virtual sports betting is typically a blind betting pattern of gambling that's how I view it to be, you don't have a clue on how to analyze the team's strength and weakness you're doing a complete guess work that's controlled by computers detecting outcomes of the virtual matches that's the reasons I scarcely play virtual sports bets.

But in real live sports betting you can well be informed about the two opponents forms, their strengths and ability to win a match is not determined by a computer machine but by their current form and strength and if as a gambler you're able to get your analysis right your chances of winning a bet is great in live sports then your luck comes next. Main inference why gamblers make use of the virtual betting is mainly because it doesn't take more than about 5 minutes to get results in place and many gamblers are known for instant pay attraction games.

I suppose you could try creating a poll to see what people here would choose. Also, for those who do bet on virtual sports, it might be helpful to mention the specific virtual sports game they prefer. As we can see, sports betting is the dominant choice, which is not surprising given its popularity.

I don't gamble anymore for profit unlike when I thought that gambling was for making profit. U gamble to entertain myself and have dun at the same time, and this is why I prefer sport bet with all that thrill when watching it. You can also gather some information based on history and the present performance of the players and the club to use and place your bet. Virtual sport is based on house edge, which makes me see it not cool with me. I watch, I enjoy the thrill from the game and I cash out at the same time, isn't it fun enough.

[Natsuu]

I just can't help but prefer live sports betting over virtual games. There's something about the authenticity of real-life sports that I like. When people place my bets on a live game, they know they are dealing with genuine athletes, unpredictable weather, and the thrill of not knowing how it'll all play out.
Virtual games betting on the other hand often leave me feeling skeptical. It's like playing a video game where I suspect the system might be rigged against me. That element of doubt takes away the fun I think especially if players want to experience the genuine excitement of a live match, where every move and play is real, not influenced by hidden algorithms or unfair advantages.
It’s just me but I think it's all about the raw, unfiltered excitement of sports betting, where the stakes are high, and the thrill is real.

[ethereumhunter]

I think every gambling game that gamblers like will give a thrilling feeling to those who play it and maybe other people will not have the same feeling as gamblers who like that game. I prefer sports betting to virtual games, especially since I don't really know how to play them. But other people who like virtual games might be more enthusiastic about participating in virtual games, which is different from what we feel. But playing slots can also excite us because we are just waiting for the results that will determine whether we win or lose.

[bittraffic]

If you prefer to see the scores to be able to predict how the game ends, yes live betting would be better. I did some of these stuff in soccer but it still is no guaranteed you win when you see the score is 1-0.

Just recently I did it with NBA as it's the new season, GSW vs Phoenix Suns to which I thought GSW would win because they recovered fast in the half of the game but they tend to lose still. So if one bets on the game while it's live, it sure is no guaranteed and the bookies also won't allow us to bet at the last minute.

Personally, I've realized that I have a higher success rate with virtual games, but live sports events offer that adrenaline rush that's hard to beat. It's a common dilemma for many bettors. I usually love betting on virtual games giving me this sure vibe that my odds might play out. Live sports can be unpredictable, and if you don't place the right bets, you might go home empty-handed.

So, I'm throwing the question out to all of you. Which type of sports betting gets your heart racing and your wallets fattening up? Do you have a preference, and if so, why?

Gamblers will give you different reasons why they prefer the types of sports betting. I don't derive any fun from virtual betting. I prefer the thrilling and exciting experience that sport live sports bring. Most local betting houses in my locality usually show live games and many fans from different clubs come to to watch these matches. If you want to enjoy the best analysis and prediction, you need to be in the betting shop. I usually derive so much fun from these gatherings. Virtual betting will make you lose your money fast which could also lead to chasing losses. I prefer the slow and steady nature of live betting.

[Slow death]

In my case, I only place bets on games in which I can obtain information about the team, whether there are injured players in the team and who they are, whether the team coach is in good health or not, whether he will be present on the day of the game or not. . what were the results of the last 5 games of the two teams. how was the H2H between these two teams. When you have all this data and on the day of the game we see the squad that will play, then it becomes easier to decide who we will bet on. Now betting on games where you can't have all this data, I honestly don't see this as a good thing, on the contrary I see it as a clear way for people to lose money

I remember that on my first day of sports betting I didn't know that e-sport was anything different from normal football games, so I put money on a team like Manchester United for example and I didn't know that it wasn't the same Manchester United in real life , so I lost the bet. It was only when I started investigating and discovered this difference that I started betting on real team games and today I see that there is a big difference. and I don't put money into a game that I haven't reviewed first

Of course I prefer live sports betting. If I want something virtual, then I’d rather play dice - it’s faster and the house edge is less than in betting. Plus, no matter how confident we are in the honesty of the virtual game, the purely psychological reliability and honesty of the real game looks more justified. And if we are talking about emotions, then virtual games do not evoke them in me (if we discard my emotions regarding the money that I risk) while sporting events evoke emotions in themselves.

[sokani]

So, I'm throwing the question out to all of you. Which type of sports betting gets your heart racing and your wallets fattening up? Do you have a preference, and if so, why?

The thing is to stick with the one that's giving you your maximum win, whether virtual or sport betting. In virtual sports, some of the past games are repeated which makes it advantageous to persons who have the time and energy to study and bet on them. Personally, I just don't like virtual sports because It could run one dry completely within a twinkle of an eye. It is also time consuming unlike sport betting where I can place my bet and channel my attention to something else except when I'm playing inplays.

I can't relate to the term virtual sports, Do you mean esports?

Esports is one of the evolving industry but I don't find it amusing to bet on for whatever reasons and the adrenaline involve in live games is far intense compared to a game that is played virtually unless you are being a part of the gameplay.

I believe what the OP is inquiring about is real sports betting, where actual individuals engage in betting on real-world sporting events, as opposed to virtual betting, which likely involves characters within a particular video game rather than real people.

In real sports betting, there are various styles of betting. You can place pre-game bets, predicting the outcome of the game before it starts, and there's also live betting, where you can wager while the game is in progress. In live betting, the odds fluctuate much like the stock market, providing an exciting dynamic to the betting experience.
