What You will do in this situation?

[kotajikikox]

As you guys don't know each other properly so it won't be wise to start conversation with him directly about his gambling. He may feel uncomfortable when a stranger randomly start advising him! And if a person can go to casino for playing slot machines, then i assume he already have knowledge about sport betting too. So he may play slot machines for fun even it is also possible that, he isn't regular in gambling.you still don't have the actual information at all. So whatever you can do, just frankly start talking with him if you are excited enough. And then you may ask him about his opinion about gambling and if he does gambling or not. Thus you can discuss with him and let him know about your opinion, rather than advising him directly

Looking at the continuation of the Op's response, it sounds like they're beginning to be friends, and discussing more on gambling related matters. If they could work together that wouldn't be much problem. Talking frankly with the player is the right thing, so that he wouldn't pick up some argument. Gambling is a matter of choice, and he's quite okay with his slot games, despite being a sport man. I don't think any of the is doing the wrong thing, but Op shouldn't cross his boundaries.

Money mostly change our decision and same as our attitude , if they are good about it then better to talk and act together for their own betterment .
while one is in slot gaming but for me Sports betting is much better choice in gambling because of the higher opportunity of winning than luck based game.

I also prefer sports betting because in sports betting people can spend hours analyzing the games and, if they have good skills, they will be able to get the bet right and make profits. in other words, it is a bet in which the greater the person's skill, the greater the chances of the person being successful and making a profit, which is why I don't get involved in gambling that depend on luck, I prefer to just focus on betting sports. Looking back I remember how sad it was the only day I played a gambling that depends on luck, I spent many hours playing, I made a 3x profit and instead of stopping playing and withdrawing what I had already won, I continued playing and started losing steadily for 2 hours and in the end I lost everything, I was wondering how it was possible that I had played for many hours

That day I understood something that scared me very much: not to play gambling that depend on luck, because I saw that I would go down a path to the abyss if I were to play any gambling that depends on luck again, and Since that day I haven't played any game that depends on luck, not even in the real world I don't play anything. I only focus on sports betting and only on football games and the main leagues in Europe because I can only spend a short amount of time playing gambling, I rest a lot, I've had a lot of time without playing, so my self control is very good that way, while the People who play games that rely on luck spend many hours playing and can easily become addicted

[adpinbr]

You can actually go ahead and talk to him tell him about sports betting it is a good idea what will definitely profit him tell him about it explain to him because most people challenges is the site they are betting from most betting site, and not well organized for you to understand just let him know. Tell him if he accepts fine if he doesn’t no problem, you just try to introduce a sport betting to him and you know how it will really affect him positively and also try to advise him if he is an addicted gambler to reduce.

Since you did manage to win some money and didn't stop gambling even after that, you should blame yourself instead of luck-based gambling in this situation because it was your self-control that could save you from those losses if you had stopped gambling and withdrawn your money when you had won 3x of your initial bankroll which isn't a small percentage.

So, though I agree that luck-based gambling isn't always favourable for the gambler and one mostly loses in it, I would say that a lot of gamblers have to face defeat because of themselves and their lack of patience and self-control because when you win and still don't stop gambling and then lose everything, it's your fault and this can happen to you even if you are in sports betting because if you win one game and use all the money for the next bet and then lose it, it's your mistake.

This is also unlikely that you will win if you bet on sports betting but it is true that you will lose less money there. Yesterday my friend bet with $170 and initially he had a good winning story but later he lost $80 although his error rate was high here. I told him to hold off for some time and bet again later but he did so out of greed. Financially i am weak now so i refrain from gambling but all my close friends have taken to gambling. Someone is winning again and again which motivates me again.

Yes maybe sports betting can save you more money than some other types of games, but I think it is a fact that in the end it also depends on how the person treats his gambling activities, if for example they are able to control themselves and stop at the right time then actually whatever type of game you play then there is less chance for you to experience a large amount of loss, and from what you said about your friend then maybe I would say that he is one of those gamblers who cannot control himself and his emotions when he loses which in the end continues gambling instead of delaying and resting first.

And also from what you said you are in a bad financial situation and I would say that you have a good mindset by preferring to refrain and not gamble first, and I hope you are not influenced by some of your friends there, although their winnings look tempting but believe me that there is no guarantee that you will be able to be as lucky as them when you return to gambling, and you better wait for your financial situation to recover if you want to gamble again.

The reason he's playing slots may be because of the settlement time. The bets will be settled instantly, whereas with sports betting, one needs to wait till the match gets over to know the results of the bets. For this reason, people prefer spending much more on casino games than sports betting. As he's interested in watching sports, he could have better knowledge about different sports, but when it comes to betting, he is risking his money. Maybe he finds it difficult to make a prediction about the winner. As you've thought, it is good to suggest that he try sports betting, as it gives him better winning chances.

[blockman]

It's okay to suggest but I won't expect people to listen to me and follow my suggestion. There will be gamblers that know what they do and don't want to get disturbed so, if he shows that he's quite uncomfortable I'd better avoid him or get far from him and spare that time for him alone.
If he wants to talk to me then I'd come back and have to talk about what he's up to, that's the way it goes and it's totally fine if he wants my attention and asks for certain suggestions.

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.

Exactly my dear , i guess his friend has a prior knowledge about sports betting before decided to invest on slots, while introducing sports betting for him there is need to let him know the importance or moreless the advantages of sports betting to slots so that he will not end up making conflict of choice which invariably will affect his gambling life. there are people who have good knowledge about sports betting and can make good analysis on every games and there predictions are always close to 100% but they prefer other games than sports betting for their own happiness. They probably like slots for fun and to make themselves happy not considering the amount that they stand to lose.

[alegotardo]

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 certainly knows about sports betting, but he prefers to bet on slot machines because it gives him more pleasure and I also doubt that he prefers to bet on sports.
My suggestion... make a deal with him, seek knowledge and listen to the advice he has, you put in the money from the bets and promise to give him a small percentage of the winnings you get from this advice.
If you are successful, he will probably be more interested in it.

Just be careful not to have your trust betrayed, be honest, both in victory and in defeat.

Good luck!

Ideas like the OP conveyed, or also as you said, might be a new reference for someone told in this thread. But with a note, find out first if the person really doesn't know sports betting. With the knowledge and understanding he has, he can explore more types of sports betting. so, what you said to the OP could be an idea that might be good for someone we discuss in this thread. Moreover, it is supported by recommending trustworthy casinos that have a good reputation. anyway, I think otherwise. I read the OP's post carefully, especially as the man described in this thread has insight into sports. plus, he watches it often.

I highly doubt he doesn't know how to bet on sports. I mean, it could be that betting on sports isn't something foreign to him. Maybe he also likes betting on sports, but at the same time he likes other types of games. as the OP saw when the person was playing slot games, but because of our ignorance, we assumed that he didn't know how to bet on sports. The most ideal step to take is to approach. ask questions, and discuss various types of gambling with each other. Thus, at least we can conclude whether someone really doesn't understand sports betting. Or, he really likes various types of games. In conclusion, get to know it first before we express an idea.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

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.

Yes your very correct many watches football for fun but have their interest in other game I could remember one if my friend he watches football more than I do but don't love betting instead love to play pool, I believe too well that even at the point of introducing him if his interest is not there he may not give attention to it the best why introducing any game to some is to know where to person interest lies on because when you introduce something to someone who doesn't have such it's a waste of time.

What do you mean by pool? I made a search about it to see if it's a slot game but the result I got doesn't confirm that pool is a slot game rather it seems to be similar with the sport betting, someone that loves watching football will be at advantage to play the game.

Here is an explanation for how pool works

Players pick 10, 11 or 12 football games from the offered fixtures to finish as a draw, in which each team scores at least one goal. The player with the most accurate predictions wins the top prize, or a share of it if more than one player has these predictio.

[teamsherry]

You cant be sure if he is unluck playing slots or if he has no idea about sports betting and still chose slot over it, what's best to is to tell him about it and see his reply, if he fancies what you are saying then they is room to teach him about and how to use sports betting.

And it could be that he doesn't like spending time to predict matches so he rather relies on slot for quick and easy picks.

As you guys don't know each other properly so it won't be wise to start conversation with him directly about his gambling. He may feel uncomfortable when a stranger randomly start advising him! And if a person can go to casino for playing slot machines, then i assume he already have knowledge about sport betting too.

Also im not really that too confident on having those kind of approach into other people and telling something about on how or what are the things should he be betting. You can do whatever you do want with your money and just let people do bet on the things on which they are really that interested on betting with since every person. So it would be a personal choice i should say.

yeah That's what I'm saying also. It'll will be a very awkward situation when you directly start approaching him about gambling like spot batting!! Although it'll depend on personality how a person will react! Actually Sometimes we just start caring for other people, and we want them to do what we think as good for them. But reality could be different. But if someone feel very excited like OP, then I would advise to start normal conversation with that person and then discuss about gambling which will depend on his personality, attitude and situation.

[passwordnow]

But if someone feel very excited like OP, then I would advise to start normal conversation with that person and then discuss about gambling which will depend on his personality, attitude and situation.

I think he did but there are people that are irritating when they start a conversation and comes by out of nowhere. And many won't be comfortable with that kind of approach. But at least for him, he's able to do that and there's no sign of irritation. So, always ask for the consent of the people you're talking too and if they're fine to talk with you and understands that they probably won't mind hearing your opinion then suggest sports betting or any other types of sports.

But if that's me, I'll just watch and see how that guy enjoys playing his game. And then if he feels bad and starts to see that he's only losing, that might be the time for me to come by and rescue him with some words and suggestions on what he should do and try to move on with his losses. Only if he's cool with that, otherwise I will stop talking to him if he finds me an irritating guy and also seen some signs that he's not comfortable with me.

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.

There are people that love watching football matches but don't really bet on them because they are not into long term games they prefer games with instant rewards and you can only find such games on casinos and sport virtuals... people always stick to what is profitable for them, perhaps heal has made some wins from slot games...you are considering introducing him to sports betting, what makes you sure that he hasn't tried playing those games before? Some gamblers that are into casino games play them due to the fact that sports betting can be disappointing after all the energy you put in to predict games.
