compare sports betting to slots?

[swogerino]

For me it is too silly to see rehash of colors and sounds as i new game. I understand that it is the same game that tries to look like a new one. So when i want to spend some time in slots, i just open first i see and don`t cares how it is called and what style it has.
But i can suppose that someone choose new game, changes casinos for new slots. It`s their choice, it`s ok, but i don`t understand it.

I see your point clearly, most slots players dont ever change the type of slot game they play. If you see it from a broader perspective the new slots only rehash the same thing but this is done mostly to attract new players not the old ones to change their habit.

It is profitable for the casino because slots being EV- games purely based on luck will bring in more money to the casino rather dispensing to players and at the end of the day the profit is on the casinos side and they are easy to get addicted to.

Sports is EV+ but it too carries a huge luck factor on your head. It that goes bad then you will lose.

That is the perfect explanation of slot machines, they are the most played game in every casino, be it online or land based casino, I see people in the only allowed biggest casino in my city losing a lot of money in slot machines and they still continue to play, some go outside asking and begging unknown people to them for help and that shows how dangerous slot machines can be to a person, in our case an addicted gambler. Usually sport betting gamblers are never addicted to the level of slot machines gamblers and as such they are not so exposed to losing money in the same level as slot players do. The main difference is that sport betting extremely rarely makes you addicted and extremely rarely you lose a huge chunk of money compared to how often slot players are hit by addiction and the level of money the lose.

A friend of mine was told me that he's bet account had a problem, the bookies reduced his odds because they saw that he was making profit, having too much information as gambler can make you a threat.

This is a common defense mechanism of a bookie to limit profitable player from continuously winning. This same reason is why no one can beat the casino in the long run.

Slot games frequently gain a lot of attention and popularity because casino often promote it with promotion and different bonus just to engage player on slot games despite having the worst RTP in all games in the casino.

Sports betting is much better in terms of profitability and RTP but slot games is a no brainer that’s why it’s more popular.

At the very least, if you analyze and follow a particular sport, or better even a league or local championship, at least the return on your bets will definitely increase. The more factors before each match you have the opportunity to analyze and take into account, the higher your chances to make a competent bet. If I start betting on something intuitively or thoughtlessly, I will have a much worse return on my bets than from bets with preliminary analysis.

There is no way you will doing something for a particular number of times without getting familiar with that thing that you are doing therefore if you keep playing sport betting, regardless of not being good at it when you started but the more you keep playing and learning how to make better predictions, you will end up being very good at it very soon because you will be learning from the mistakes you make when you did not predict correctly which club is going to win and the more you play, is the more you will get familiar with the clubs that will have a better potential of winning and that way you can get accurate predictions. Sport betting and slots are very different, sport betting needs a little bit of knowledge to win but slots is basically you being lucky.

In general, I agree with the thesis that playing slots depends only on luck and not on skills, but I do not agree that you need a little knowledge to successfully predict sports results. It depends on what to compare with, if we talk about getting some serious profession, then yes, you need a little knowledge for sports betting. But in general, if you try to make your bets mostly successful, you will have to know a lot of things, mainly to know what parameters affect the result and have to collect information on them.

[Z390]

Slots will always be the most played casino game.

It is more risky than sports bet but it is the most simplest to engage with, this is why I can't do without these two, I don't go after any other casino games than sports bet and slots games.
Slots depends on complete luck and you can have a lot of rounds to go if you can limit the risk tolerance, but you can add extra data analysis to sport bet which makes it a more favourable option.
It depends on how I feel, sometimes I miss sport bets than slots and sometimes it is the other way around.

In general, I agree with the thesis that playing slots depends only on luck and not on skills, but I do not agree that you need a little knowledge to successfully predict sports results.

But in general, if you try to make your bets mostly successful, you will have to know a lot of things, mainly to know what parameters affect the result and have to collect information on them.

I think there is actually a skill part of it like switching bets and then knowing when to stop. In sports betting, that was true that you need a knowledge. This where you can predict much better. What is that profession you mean by the way? Is it when you apply for a job in the sports betting / gambling field? If it is then definitely yeah, we also need a knowledge here.

There is a pleasure in successful bets apart from money but the last thing that you said also means that one can just go with the flow and accept whatever their outcome is. If it is a lose, one still can be contented here but it is just that they won't only take home some amounts.

Sports betting involves the application of skills and knowledge on the particular sport of your choice, there's a high chance of winning such bets compared to slot games that are strictly based on luck. In casino games the house always wins and that's something that is constant. Sports betting on the other hand can be different sometimes, you can have a little leverage over the bookmakers when you properly analyze your bets, and with proper risk management you can reduce the losses you incur but always remember that losses can't be avoided.

It's just that there are some mistakes that gamblers make in making sports bets. Such as betting on sports that they don't really understand. Or betting on teams that they don't really follow the league's development. Gamblers bet only based on the Odds offered, which is actually done by many gamblers. Gamblers who do this kind of thing may ignore risk management and rely more on their luck.
However, in sports betting, we only predict, that sometimes the situation on the field will be different and make us regret it.

One thing i know sport betting for is the kind of game you can play and uses your experience, knowledge and skills in playing to be able to use, this also comes about applying some level of logical reasonings when playing it, as regard slot games, we already know more about that, we have to play this by luck irrespective of the game in consideration, while choosing between the two could be a way forward when we have an understanding of what each is and how to safely play them having such impression in mind on how they differs from each other.

Sports betting and slots games can never be compared. Because sports betting is not run by any machine but slots are run completely by algorithms. So in the case of slots games, no matter how many tricks someone uses, he can never guarantee his winning. But in the case of sports betting, it never depends on luck. The more clubs and players can gain knowledge about it and enjoy regular games, the more possible predictions they can make in the case of sports. Sports betting is based on skill and knowledge. So slots can never be compared to sports betting.

Comparisons are made in multiple headings, that is one of them but not all.

So in the case of slots games, no matter how many tricks someone uses, he can never guarantee his winning. But in the case of sports betting, it never depends on luck.

Never say never mate. In the game of probability we have to include all types of things. Luck can be bad and that can lead to massive losses even in sports betting. A team which is destined to win might just lose because of a simple mistake. That is luck and I am sure you can think of examples for that, imagine being on the losing bettors side on those games.

The more clubs and players can gain knowledge about it and enjoy regular games, the more possible predictions they can make in the case of sports. Sports betting is based on skill and knowledge.

That is a illusion, the final card is luck, which if on your side you will win but it can be against you.

Sports betting has nothing to do with skill from my own personal understanding, to really understand this, I think you need to find out what skill really mean, some term skill as being the same thing as knowledge but they are a bit different in certain terms..

Sports betting is a knowledge based game, while for the players, that is the physical players in the field, they need skill to beat their opponents, we gamblers need knowledge to win our bet, knowledge on sports both in the past and present.

As for slot games, you are right, slot games require neither skill nor knowledge of any sort to win, it is simply a luck dependent game, and this understand helps us to really know what we want and go for it, personally, I don't usually like playing games where I do not have any form of control, this is why I like sports betting more, but I do play slot games for fun sometimes.

Sometimes, knowledge may not be enough to win sports bets. I mean that there are unpredictable moments in sporting events that can greatly affect the results of a particular match. For example, the favorite team may lose a key player due to injury and eventually lose a match. In such moments, the knowledge of users won't help to win a sports bet.

So we may have more chances to win in sports betting than slot games because sports betting not just about luck but also experience, knowledge, and skills. If you have all of both things, you may hope you can win the match but don't put your hope into high because you never know what will happen in the match. You can just place your bet and watch the match if you want. Otherwise, you can leave your bet and back after the match is finish.

Playing slot games will depend on your luck so no matter how many times we play slot games, we will still difficult to win if we don't have luck. But yes, we can play both sports betting and slot games if we want but we must strictly allocate the money to prevent the big lose.

Indeed, unexpected moments do not know what comes, there are still moments that I experience when the favorite team experiences a red carded player due to a hard tackle, this affects the team's performance and that's when many skills say useless.

But moments like this rarely happen --- in conclusion, skills and knowledge are important at least this can increase your chances of winning in sports betting, so don't just bet, just which matches you know then that's the best way in sports betting.

If we are talking about long way, in sport betting you can get profit, if your analyze is good. In slot games - you will lose. That`s the main difference.
I can add, that betting is much difficult, odds so dull, etc. But i willn`t talk about it. I say that if you ready to work hard - you can get profit from sport betting. But if you want to get easy money - try your luck in slots. May be you even get prize before you lose too much.

Hypothetically, you can earn money on betting. Only for this you need to know a lot, think a lot, and still no analysis will replace access to insider information... In general, if a person is willing to engage in such things so deeply in order to earn money in the long term, then it is better for him to learn how to play poker professionally and gain experience in poker tournaments. Then no insider can prevent a professional from making money on the poker tables.

I don’t really believe in that idea. I’ve worked hard, but I’m still not profitable in sports betting. Hard work alone isn’t enough, you need to be smart enough to be among the few successful bettors. Otherwise, all that effort is just wasted if it doesn’t translate to wins.

Working hard or working smart does not and can not translate to wins in sports betting if you are still not lucky in the end, which ever type of work does not guarantee anything at all and this is a fact, and this explains why some people after having tried their hands on sports betting and slot and or casino games, will end up preferring to stick more with slot and casino games because in this type of games, there no stress of studying to acquire knowledge of anything, there is nothing to work hard or work smart on, you simply play and win if you are lucky or lose if you are not lucky and that's it..

So, the long and short of the matter is that there are no guarantees, I say it again, there are no guarantee, work heard, work smart, still Pray seriously for luck, for without it, both your hard and smart will still be in vain at the of the day.

Bruh, do you realize what you have just said?
You said you worked hard ,but you still failed to win, and you think that the main requirement is to be smart about that, which means ...

Working hard or working smart does not and can not translate to wins in sports betting if you are still not lucky in the end, which ever type of work does not guarantee anything at all and this is a fact, and this explains why some people after having tried their hands on sports betting and slot and or casino games, will end up preferring to stick more with slot and casino games because in this type of games, there no stress of studying to acquire knowledge of anything, there is nothing to work hard or work smart on, you simply play and win if you are lucky or lose if you are not lucky and that's it..

Sorry but no! no! Completely no!
To win in a casino, you must not only be lucky, but you must be luckier than others, luckier on average, and also luckier on prolonged timelines at different intervals, which is not really achievable.
With sports, you don't have to be lucky, you are not forced to bet on random events, you can choose your picks and moreover, you can afford to play the game of winning more than you lose, the thing with sports is that you don't compete with others, so it doensn't matter if a guy just won $100000 on a game, it will not affect your RTP when betting on Barca or Real.

For example, the favorite team may lose a key player due to injury and eventually lose a match. In such moments, the knowledge of users won't help to win a sports bet.

But this does not happen every time you place a bet, and in slots it is impossible to control it in any way, you just play and wait for your luck to win. In bets we can choose what to bet on ourselves, and knowledge will not always save us from losing, but it can still increase our success in betting. I decided for myself that slots are too unpredictable, I do not like to bet money on something that I cannot influence.
