compare sports betting to slots?

[Numeral]

Slots are really on trend and for a long time now, many gamblers like them in principle with their gameplay. Carefully watching the spinning of the reels in the hope that will form the long-awaited combination that will bring them a jackpot. Slots - this is a kind of personification of gambling, if you look at their history, they from offline versions are still in trend and are not going to cede their popularity to anyone. Dice games are visually too primitive, there is not the drive that slots have. This is if we are talking about games where the draw happens, if not instantly, then very quickly.

Betting on sports is entertainment for a different type of player. These are people who certainly care about sports and most betting enthusiasts bet on soccer and they enjoy watching it. Someone watches the broadcasts, someone goes to the stadium. Well it doesn't have to be soccer, of course, many sports have their own fans. It's just that soccer is the most bet on, I have heard this many times from representatives of bookmakers.

I would put myself in the second category.

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.

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.

Gambling in every shape totally depend on luck even there are many different theories and strategies about this, but one thing is sure you need more than 99% luck to win in sports or slot.
Many predictors using many ways for keeping things on level but mostly ended on lost no one can give surety about all wins in slot if you have good day then surely you can go with few bucks but if luck not with you then surely you are ending badly bankrupt while same results in spots betting.
Trends always keep changing which bring different tags and peoples in front, but these are cheap tactics which works for house edge but never for any punter.

[DaNNy001]

That's the difference between those options presented since if we look at the real situation between these two options, we can say that sports betting really have good advantage when we talk about winning rate. Since we can do something like to research good information to increase our chance to win. While on slots game where we totally really on luck in this game and whatever things we do doesn't give any much effect especially that results will come always in random form.

People may really have different belief since for sure they have their own favorite games or biases.

Well, in conclusio all that matters is which game is more fun to be player and based on that, every gambler has their preference but compare the rate of profitability, what determines the win rate is luck. Some slot player have been luck several times even more than some sport bettors and vice versa, it has happened the other way round. For me, I just love sports and that's why I love sport betting more than slot.

You have a point, slot games are controlled by the house and the chances of winning is low compared to sports betting.. although sports betting has it's ups and downs but most times informations and historical data can give you a little leverage over the market but even with all of these luck might still be needed...one thing that makes sports betting better than casino games is the cashout offer you have, playing games like slots and crash won't give you that chance to cashout, once your money goes in all you can do is hope to get lucky.

My reasons for engaging mostly in sports betting is highly because of the competitive quest for entertainment value, sports betting has a high dosage of fun,designed to be a pure source of excitement for it's players.Generally,the events in sports betting are real and it gives players a better chance to enhance fun.

I also do sports betting most of the time when I want to gamble and the only reason for this is that I have not been able to win well from casino slot games yet. Rather, my losses are higher here.
And on the other hand, I have been able to win quite a few from sports betting and this helps me to keep control over my bet amount.
Besides, reading about sports betting and analyzing teams and players is fun for me and that is why I chose sports betting. I have played slot games many times but I would lose control of myself very quickly there so try to make some distance from the casino slot games.

It’s the other way around. Sports is what gives pure entertainment while placing bet on it is just an additional excitement. The act of placing bet alone is not that fun because it’s a simple click then you’re done in the casino because you need to watch the game that is the one that gives entertainment.

Sometimes, betting on sports kinda ruin your mood in case your bet is losing badly while watching live in the middle of the game.

I rarely place a bet on sports because It sometimes kill my mood on watching the sports because my mind becomes focus on what will be the outcome of my bet.

So, I want to hear from you, what do you enjoy more? Slots or sports betting? What makes you choose one over the other?

This is a question that answers will be based on preference and the decision or the reason that will make someone choose one all over the other is usually personal and unique to them, doesn't make one better than the other because they appeal to different audience. I personally would play slot over sports betting because it is easier for me, maybe my gender has an influence on that.

Slots and sports betting are used for two purposes. Slots games are a lot of fun. But in the case of sports betting, most of the time the target is to earn money from there. Because in the case of sports, many possible predictions can be made and due to which it is easy to win from there, which is not the case with slots. Slots are completely controlled by machines and algorithms, but sports are completely live and here a team or club's performance determines which team wins and you can bet and win with that team. So there are many differences between these two

Slots are really on trend and for a long time now, many gamblers like them in principle with their gameplay. Carefully watching the spinning of the reels in the hope that will form the long-awaited combination that will bring them a jackpot.

Slots are popular because I think it is one thing that any beginner can try and enjoy. It does not take anything. It is exciting despite being simple and easy to play. Above all, it is so easy to get addicted to it. Though of course I would not recommend that.

Betting on sports is entertainment for a different type of player. These are people who certainly care about sports and most betting enthusiasts bet on soccer and they enjoy watching it.

It's just that soccer is the most bet on, I have heard this many times from representatives of bookmakers.

I think that some sports bettors can also enjoy some of slots from time to time but not all slots players will enjoy sports betting especially if they are not that interested in sports itself. What more if they had to make analysization and computations as well?

[rachael9385]

When you compare it to sports betting, experts say there's also a house edge, but you at least have a better chance of winning if you know how to analyze games. That’s why I’m still confused why do so many people prefer slots over sports betting when the odds in sports are generally better?

Analyzing games does not mean you are going to win it, many people seems to think that if you follow a particular sport and know a lot about the teams that compete in the sport, it means you will be good in betting on games in that sport. I don't think that is true, winning sports games is just as difficult as winning slot games, so i believe people just play the one they enjoy and the one they feel their superstitious luck is on.

Yeah that's true, analysing games doesn't mean that you are going to always get it right but it's going to increase your chances of winning compared to not knowing anything about the games, I'm not disputing the fact that some gamblers win without analysis but the things is, not everyone relies on luck. There's a level of experience you'd have when you consistently bet on a particular sport, like I said this doesn't mean you would win everytime but you are going to see more positive results compared to someone who doesn't analyze.

Yes, of course, the rules of slots are elementary and can be mastered quickly by any novice player. Just before we had a comparison of slots with dice. It seems that both there and there the rules are simple and very quickly you can bet and see the result, but nevertheless slots have their own unique visual design, which keeps users in the game. The dice game does not usually have a fascinating interface, only essentially functional.

I think that some sports bettors can also enjoy some of slots from time to time but not all slots players will enjoy sports betting especially if they are not that interested in sports itself. What more if they had to make analysization and computations as well?

Some bettors can play in parallel and slots, just the number of these bettors from the total mass will be relatively small. I can even draw a conclusion from my acquaintances: if they want to bet on sports, they will do it, and slots are not interesting to them. And on the games in slots completely agree, among them in general extremely small number of people will be parallel to bet on sports.

[Su-asa]

I think a gambler can try to predict sport games and win when he or she is lucky. Actually there's a lot of fun in sport betting, gambling on sports games can be so exciting when you are watching and playing with friends but is different when gambling on slot games with friends.
The hardest thing in slot games is that the players need only luck before they can win a bet, but on sport games you can be able to make some predictions even though you still need luck to win.

[Dickiy]

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.

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.

The difference in these two things is in terms of skills, which in my opinion, in sports betting requires quite good knowledge which might increase the chances of winning, but with slot gambling, skills are not needed because it purely depends on luck about winning. And if you work in gambling, maybe it's more about having the skills to manage it.
Now, the thing that needs to be considered more is that we must be able to accept the results whatever they are, whether we lose or win as you said, because many people cannot accept the results that occur, such as defeat, but they end up even worse.

Sports betting does have its own added value compared to other types of games at the casino, because often sports betting requires analysis and knowledge, such as which club will compete, what strategy is played by the coach and the potential victory of one of the clubs, this triggers an unspeakable pleasure, the feeling of palpitations when our favorite team plays on the field is an exciting moment.
Plus when the team we favor can win the match, the feeling of joy for the victory of the team we favor is greater than the feeling of winning the bet.

So, I want to hear from you, what do you enjoy more? Slots or sports betting? What makes you choose one over the other?

We can't compare sports betting with slots... everything is different.

I guess most of us love to play slots because every spin is a chance for a big win... only $0.2 per spin, but it can bring hundreds if not thousands of dollars. If we raise the stakes a little, it can be even more. Only if the bonus comes... and if the bonus matches wilds, jokers, reels & rows, or whatever.

To me, gambling is about testing your luck. Playing slots is the ultimate gamble... we are playing against the odds for a big dream that's just around the corner, at least we like to think so.

[boltz]

Well what is to compare between them ? They are totally different and the problem with Slots nowadays is that a lot of new slots are being released and after a few months they end up in a forgotten pit where people won't play them anymore and only a few of players will actually touch them and Sports betting doesn't have this problem at all as people tend to bet even on inferior leagues like Brazil C , Columbia B , Romania Ligue 2 and so on and I'm sure a lot of us here actually enjoy betting on inferior leagues.

[Fortify]

We can’t deny that slots have been insanely popular lately. Even though some of these games have a huge house edge, gamblers still keep coming back. On the other hand, dice games which have a much lower house edge (sometimes below 1%) don’t seem as popular anymore.

That got me thinking… It looks like most people go for what’s trending rather than caring about the house edge.

When you compare it to sports betting, experts say there's also a house edge, but you at least have a better chance of winning if you know how to analyze games. That’s why I’m still confused why do so many people prefer slots over sports betting when the odds in sports are generally better?

So, I want to hear from you, what do you enjoy more? Slots or sports betting? What makes you choose one over the other?

You don't need to be an expert of any kind to understand the basic math that the casinos tell you up front defined the odds of a slots game. If you read the instructions of the game, they will tell you that you'll only get on average 95%~ of your money back on each spin. Most people understand and accept those odds, yet still get enough thrill from the game that they go into it with eyes wide open and very occasionally people will hit a jackpot that made it all worthwhile - but this is extremely rare. Compared to sports betting, you stand a better chance of walking away a winner there because while the bookmakers set the odds and do a lot of analysis in that area, they do not have control of the outcomes like they do in slots. They'll add a little buffer margin to their calculated odds as they know there is an error rate, but they have to keep it small because it's a hyper competitive market.

Some slot fanatics will tell you that it's more entertaining than sports betting, so this is not a valid argument. After all, each of us have our own definition of fun.

The real difference is in the involvement. Games like poker and also slots allow you to influence the game. You're not only a bystander, but a participant, while playing slots reduces you to a brainless button pusher.

I don't find games like dice or slots exciting, but some slots these days learn from it and allow you for more decision-making.

[jaberwock]

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.

True, but many people still choose slots over sports betting, and there are two very possible reasons for that. The first reason, of course, is that those people have no knowledge about sports, they probably don't like sports so they don't follow any of it, and that's why they never had any interest in it, so sports betting doesn't make any sense for such people because they can't just make some bets choosing random sides and hoping to win based on luck because sports betting is not mainly about luck but about knowledge and experience.

The second reason that I can think of is that people know that slots tend to provide high multipliers sometimes. Most games have a possibility of giving you more than 20,000x of your bet sometimes, even though it's just a possibility, and we know that the odds of hitting a multiplier like that will always be very tiny, but what people see is the multiplier shown on the thumbnail and they get attracted.

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 know that it is possible. I did it. But after few months i had to choose - the main job or such gambling. And, of course, i had no time for anything, except job and bets.
About poker i can`t say, i tried to play for money about 10-15 years ago, it was not enough successful, but that try gave me lots of useful information about poker. The same time my friend, who teach me, got nice sums from poker. Now i play only for fun.

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.

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.

It is your choice. May be your analyze is not good enough. I don`t know your situation, your skills. Also, i saw lots of people who thought that they work hard, but as for me - they did minimal job and that`s all.

So, I want to hear from you, what do you enjoy more? Slots or sports betting? What makes you choose one over the other?

I prefer sports betting to slots and I will always prefer sports betting because in sports betting you will be the one to select the game that suits and how many odds you wish to play but slots are not like that, slots you  will just select at random and then expect magic to happen and secondly I don't like Instant result so in sports betting you have the privilege to decide whether to play a running ticket (game ) or not but in slots it is not always like that because after selecting and placing it, your results will be displayed immediately after...

There are lots of advantages of picking sports games over slots, as for me I love sports betting because of the cashout offers, as long as your bets are going according to your prediction you have the choice to opt out at any time with the offered amount of money from the sports book but casino games don't really give you that chance, you can only make profit if your bet is totally successful, this means that you zero control of whatever happens to your profit.
