What You will do in this situation?

[jcojci]

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.

[Apocollapse]

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.

[Oshosondy]

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

[SeaCoinCollector.]

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.

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?  

[virasisog]

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.

[jcojci]

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.

[Cantsay]

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.

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.

[Hispo]

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.

[Frankolala]

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 means that you are gambling for profit and not for fun.

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.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

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.

[Natsuu]

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.
