What You will do in this situation?

[xLays]

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.

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.

[Su-asa]

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

[Assface16678]

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.

[Vaculin]

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.

[SatoPrincess]

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.

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.

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.

If you believe gambling is bad, then why are you wearing the signature of a casino? I think that’s very hypocritical of you.

[alani123]

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.

[Marvelman]

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.

[Agbamoni]

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.

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.
