I can easily find 3 odds games on casinos but hard to find on sport

[Oshosondy]

Some people said people can be addicted if they are gambling in casinos than betting in bookies. I found it not true with myself. When I was an addict, I did not used to visiting any casino site, or if the gambling site has casinos, I only visit the bookie part of it. I gamble with sport, I like the in-play matches which makes me spend more time in bookies, betting on live matches. All I always know is that if I gamble for a long time, I still lose at the end of the day.

When I got to this forum, I started to know about casinos. I have 4 bookie sites before, three locals and one foreign. One of them has casino which I have visited before but I did not gamble with it. I started casinos on this forum. What I noticed is that I easily see 3 odds games on casinos but which is very hard to see as a single match which is not parley on bookies. This encouraged me to gamble with low amount of money unless I try to use the martingale but wisely which can lead to bigger loss or win. But I do not gamble with the money beyond my gambling budget of 5% of my weekly income.

I found the gambling in casinos relaxing but which can be addicting also because sometimes I wish to spend more time even if I lost money that week. But generally I gain more than losing in casinos which I think is because I spend little time there. I am happy with little gain and I may just stop playing for that day or go with lower amount after I win. For example, if I have won like $3 that day, I may just prefer to gamble with just $0.01 if I want to continue playing.

I thought before that sport is better because I can analyze market but I did not know that I was deceiving myself with the analyses.

I will say that both casino and sportbet are the same when it comes to losing because it is still gambling. Whatever kind of game that you gamble with, losses is more than wins. However, I will say that your luck of winning is more in casino games than sportbet, and that is what you are thinking.

But let me put it up to you that it is the same. You said that since you started playing casino games, you were controlling your losses, by gambling with little amount and also spending little time in casino games. You also have a gamble budget that made you discipline enough to stop when it is exhausted, and you are happy with your little win. It is the opposite when you were gambling in bookie sites. You said that you spend a very long time gambling on live internal matches and that makes you to run at more loss, because sometimes you gamble throughout the day.

Bookie sites almost got you addicted or got you addicted, but you could control gambling activities when playing in a casino which is why you can limit your losses. If you can also put this gamble practice in bookie site, you might have similar results.

I won't change my views about those two.
Casino games are still the addictive part of it.
Sports betting is just a hobby. I guess it will depend on each of us on how we view things. Well, it's not like I know too many sports, and most of the sports that I have knowledge of have their hiatus so I don't have a choice but to rest. Other sports that I know play weekly like boxing and MMA. So, I don't know if I can get addicted to it considering I am not on the monitor for the whole day, just once when I place my bets.
In this era, gambling addicts are those who cannot let go of their computer playing almost 24/7 and most of them are betting casino games, not sports. Right?
I have never seen a sport running 24 hours so there will definitely be a rest.

Do not just make conclusion. Both are addictive. Either you are gambling in a casino or betting on sport, use small amount of money. As some people will tell you that they are addicted with casino games, some people will tell you that they are addicted with sports.

Sports betting is just a hobby. I guess it will depend on each of us on how we view things.

Do not make what can take money from you a hobby. But if you think you can make it an hobby, then casinos are hobby. Provided that you are not addicted to any of it.

It is not as you think it is.

Some people can be betting on sport and losing money very well. But that is not the main part. The main thing is that betting on in-play can make a gambler to stay long also almost throughout the day gambling.

There is another one which are not real matches but virtual matches that are more like casinos games as they run 24/7 in a week and taking not more than 15 seconds.

Are you saying that casino is easier to win than sports betting? If yes, then concentrate on what gives you edge. If you can easily find 3 odds games in casino, then you are on your way to joining the 1% of the word population that controls over 90% of the word's resources. Imagine you start with $100 and compound this daily for 2years, that is money you are talking about.

For the addiction aspect you mentioned, casinos are more time consuming and more addictive and most gambling addicts I know actually play casinos, just few in sports betting. I'm not saying that sports betting is better because it is an individual thing.

How can someone that is gambling and win $3 and satisfied with it but stop gambling for that time or start gambling with just $0.01 has 1% of the 90% of the world's resources?

Gambling is a game of luck. You can either win or lose. If you want to gamble with sport, it would be hard for you to get 3 odds easily if compared with casinos of the same risks. But if you get the 3 odds, that does not mean that you can not lose. No odd guarantee 100% winning.

[PhillipDe78]

Heh, this is a familiar situation. To my surprise, I won more at the casino than at betting. Although I was sure that I understood the game, I also analyzed it deeply on sports betting. Fortunately, there is no dependence, 1-2 times a month I go to the slots to relax. Sports betting is now rare, there are a lot of negative experiences.

[Gozie51]

What I noticed is that I easily see 3 odds games on casinos but which is very hard to see as a single match which is not parley on bookies.

I agree with you on this that it is difficult to pick a single game with 3 odds or above that will be successful but then at times we get such. What we can do to this when we see such odd in bookies then we can do our own analysis then compare from predicting sites to know also if @ least 70% and above are also supporting that game then we can try betting on it but to what we can bear too.

Another thing to do is we can gamble on two games or three on less risky option like 1 5.

The odd calculation for live sports is different from casino games. With live sport like football or boxing, bookies have to determine the probability of an outcome happening over the other and also do it in such a way that the potential winning does not encourage gamblers to bet on both possible outcomes. If one can find 3 odds and more on the different betting options, it will encourage them to bet on both outcomes happening and be guaranteed a profit either way.

For example, if Supa Strikers are facing Daring Defenders with an odd of 3.1 - 3.9.
I'll stake a $100 on both outcomes and be sure that either way it swings, I'll profit from the bet, rinse and repeat. This forces bookies to tightly regulate the odds and eliminate any possible loophole.

I find that most addict people are those who claim to find a strategy or a way to beat the casino in a way they gamble daily chasing some profits that in reality doesn'texist. Whoever thinks this way you will find him struggling in an endless circule of addiction not aware that he is only losing to the casino. For your case thinking that sport betting is diffrent than other casino games, slots or live games. The reality sometimes is that betting in sports is way more addictive, because it is more fun when you are interested in sports, you won't enjoy watching your favorite sport without making a bet on it.

I see that gambling with all its forms are the same and should be taken responsibly, if you bet in sports most of the time then you should reconsider thoughts and take a step back, rather than saying it is better than casino games.

[EluguHcman]

I think it all depends on the gamblers instincts towards an expectation and feature attractions in the various gambling sectors.
You feel good on gambling in the casino because it aided you the ability to fight out your addiction and that, it is just being remarkable to you and not because you could find 3 odds in the casino which you could not find in the sporty bookie bets.

That is to say even if we gets 100 odds in the casinos, those risk bearers would still afford to bet beyond expectation because they believe if they wins they would win over 1,000X and not like you OP who would be contented with your little amount of winning on your little amount of stake.

[Questat]

For example, if I have won like $3 that day, I may just prefer to gamble with just $0.01 if I want to continue playing.

With this amount, I can say you are far from getting addicted in gambling. Honestly, I would not experience the fun if I would just gamble for $0.01, and I don't think there's a casino that would accept this kind of bet as it's very low.

I thought before that sport is better because I can analyze market but I did not know that I was deceiving myself with the analyses.

This one is purely based on our preference, you don't love sports betting but it's actually the most popular form of sport IMO where gamblers can bet on diferent sports. But saying popular, I mean the amount of bets going to sports compared to other type of games.

[Julien_Olynpic]

Of course, both classic casinos and sports betting cause addiction, or rather, they can cause addiction and lead to financial disaster. However, I still would not compare classic casinos and bookmaker organizations. Sports betting is an area where games do not have a completely random outcome. Yes, the amount of randomness there is really great, but not absolute. And the most important thing is that in sports betting there are people who are profitable in the long term. Of course, there are very few of them - probably less than 1%, but nevertheless they exist. As for completely random casino games such as roulette, I have not yet seen a single message from a single player who would claim that he is a long-term profitable roulette player.

This may be different in the kind of sport you betting on but hedging bets on sports is somehow exciting. You may still think you are deceiving yourself in hedging bets but the chances of winning are better.

Some people try to learn more about how to win when they lose money regardless of how little it is. So yes it could lead to addiction but we're all different.
I gradually stopped playing casino games because of sports betting and somehow got more involved in fitness exercises when I started learning how athletes developed their physiques.

[Doan9269]

As for me, i don't even get to noticed on this, because am not much freaked by the number of adds each game provides as am about to bet, but there are times in which a particular odd could serve as threat to us if care is not taken to make us loose the match completely, just to consider sport betting in this case, before many gamblers engage on betting them, they first check on their odds even though you mostly discover that the odds are not more than 1 or 2, while casino games are majorly on lucks and they could appear on any number of odd since its by our luck unlike the sport betting which is by our experience.

Probably you are frequently looking on a match that is almost even. We can use for example football, 3.0 odds or higher is very frequent when a match is obviously one-sided based on the teams rank or you are betting on a 3 ways match like tie on the game.

It’s really hard sometimes to search for it manually because Sportsbook doesn’t have feature to sort picks based on the odds while casino usually has a settings to manually adjust the odds by yourself every bet.


The win rate part between casino games and sports betting varies depending on the analysis done on the match offer in sportsbook since the grading of odds is based on bookies settings on how they evaluate the match which means they can give right odds or wrong when they grade a 3.0 odds on match compared to the casino with 3.0 odds that is always mathematically correct.

[SamReomo]

I believe sport betting is way better when it comes to research but if someone just wants to gamble then casino based games work similarly for them. I started online betting in 2023 and I began my betting from casino sites and on casino based games only, but after sometime I figured out that sports betting is more suitable option for me and that's why I started betting on sports events and almost gave up on casino games for sometime.

I'm not a gambling addict and I have never been addicted to it even after betting for a whole year. The reason for that is the gambling responsibility that I learnt which has helped me a lot to be safe from this addiction. I'm someone who gambles 1-7 times per month and there are some months when I don't gamble at all. Most of my bets are in sports events and fortunately I have won some bets because I did my best in research part.

For me, I think it was the other gamblers or those who don't care at all (E.g. losing, strategy, or everything...). There are still who continue playing because they are mostly up and they believe it is because of the strategy that they are using but like you said, it's only a false belief. In other more popular terms I think it's called as fallacy and I think fallacy is the same as placebo.

A sports fan is different from a bettor, so there's truly people who can have fun watching a sport alone, then there's also who can go throughout the day by simply betting and not watching a sport even on the ones where they bet on. Sports betting is literally different from casino games and this is why each has its own set of customers, but indeed that whatever type or game was it, all must be taken moderately/responsibly.

It's up to the individual though, but many fall for it as they addicted to games like slot machines.

But sports betting winning is not the same as casino games, for one the odds is not that huge in the first place, but still though there are chances that you can fall for it and become addict as you will look for games to bet and there are plenty out there. Maybe the first sign is that you are betting on sports that you are not familiar with, just for the heck of putting money on sports. Or doing a parlay, you are hitting huge odds like x20 or higher and then when you are about to, suddenly one game ruins everything for you and then you back again and again and trying to hit that biggest parlay in your life.

It’s not uncommon that you would always seem to adapt to an aspect of gambling more than the other based on the amount of time you spend gambling there. Sometimes, this is due to the part of the world you might find yourself. Out here on Africa, it’s mostly the bookies but, Casino games are gradually getting to penetrate the African market. Even on the streets, a couple of the games like Plinko have been localized.

Due to the nature of casino gambling, where you can have a stake reduced to the nearest minimum and even cents, giving the gambler several triers, you might find things a lot easier there coupled with the fact that, it’s games barely lasts for seconds or a minute even. Which gives you a lot of rounds and multipliers.

Having yo easily find 3 odds, I would say it ain’t easy else, I’d you could guess any 3 odd and be sure of it, I don’t see anything stopping you from going in on a 50% of your allocated gambling capital for that session to get the win. It’s always a guess even when it seems sure. Gambling have never come that easy!
