Which is more addicting?

[mcdouglasx]

Both have their strengths: one gives you constant dopamine hits, which can quickly lead to addiction. In sports, although betting may occur less frequently, the pleasure could be more intense, especially when you enjoy the sport you're betting on.

Perhaps for someone who pursues profits more, slot machines will be more affected because they can yield quick results. But for someone who enjoys sports more, they will surely get more pleasure. But not everyone is affected by betting in the same way. Some people are mentally stronger than others and tend to know how to control it.

Of course, casinos are more addictive for players because they are not tied to matches and bets are made very quickly. I think the faster the bets are made, the faster the player experiences emotional swings that throw him off balance, and this in turn can make him addicted. And sports betting is less provoking for players to make aggressive bets, everything is more calm and unhurried. Of course, this does not mean that you can't bet all your money and lose everything in one match, but I say on average among all players that bets are more stretched out in time, which has a better effect on players and their emotions.

Slot or casino games definitely have a higher chance of addiction but both are addictive, the fact that one has a high chance of addiction doesn't mean one should take the other part because you would also be addicted if not well examined. The reason why one is more addictive than the other is because one is fast and has a chance of making you keep playing till you exhausted your capital while the other gives you opportunity to rethink your actions before you regret but once you win and keep winning your fully put yourself into it and want keep gambling hence leading to addiction.

Infact there is no need to compare which is faster they are just addictive if you don't do personal examination or check and balance yourself or emotions.

Slots are easier to make gamblers addicted, because the games in slots are varied, with an interactive game model that makes players unaware that the icons are for betting. The absence of waiting time for results makes gamblers quicker in taking action. Unlike sports, we have to wait for the results of the match first before we know whether we lose or profit. Don't forget too, there is also emotion control in slots, for example, the more often you see the scatter symbol, you will start to think that you are close to free spins. this triggers you to continue spinning.

It's easier to get carried away when playing slots and this is common with a lot of casino games including crash..when you are about to cash out sometimes after getting close to your targeted multiplier the plane suddenly flies away, there's a rush of emotions that the gambler feels similar to that of slot games, this is the reason why lots of players get addicted... another reason for addiction is when they win, hitting a huge amount of money with a small take in just a matter of minutes can make anyone locked in

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?

I think slots.
It gives more dopamine to us because of the colors and the sounds that it produce.
And that's the reason why it seems exciting to play more of it and everyone is getting hooked with it.
Sports betting is quite boring. You place your bet and you're good to go, you'll wait for the results on it whether you analyze or not.

It is not boring if you have placed a bet on a sporting event that you have been watching or if you are present at all in the stadium where the event is taking place. It is quite different when you systematically place bets in the hope that some one will win and another thing when you bet on an event you are watching and experience the emotion in the moment

Yeah, it's a different case from someone who's just watching it at home, in the couch. But for someone who bets with these sports and actually watches live in the stadium.
That's very thrilling and the experience is different because you're not only there to watch but also to see if your bet is going to win or not. Well, that's not really boring at all but could also be addicting but needs quite a budget to do it.

In some ways you are right, I agree, but I rather meant that it is not a common occurrence. Obviously to go to matches all the time and place bets you really need a big budget, but if you don't do it that often, just for fun, then why not, it will be a rare event and you won't need a lot of money for it. All in all it's all about restraint, nothing more than that

[Nwada001]

So, between slot and casino and sports betting, there's non that is not easily addictive, it only depends on the gambler to resist the addiction or become blown by it.

I agree with you, the ability to resist addiction depends on the individual who is gambling or betting and someone who is doing both.  Some people are sports bettors and are also slot gamblers, but they are not addicted. The reason why they are not addicted is because they have self control, they are self disciplined and they make it a priority not to get addicted, meanwhile someone who is just a bettors is suffering from addiction. Some people have desperate need of gambling and betting winning that's why they fall into addiction.

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?

Slot games seem to be more addictive due to their system and enticing prizes. Imagine if you could hit the jackpot prize; you would get rich instantly in just a few minutes. Easy to bet, easy to win, and easy to lose as well. Besides having only games, slot machines are also everywhere. Some are already found in the street, coffee shops, and small establishments. This means that slot games are introduced more than other games, which makes people know more about slots than sports betting.

[2Pizza410000BTC]

There are different types of gamblers depending on what they play. Some gamblers are rounded and play all kinds of types possible but there are those who only stick with one type.

For example, one could just play slots while one just sports betting. My question would be which one do you think is more addicting? Slot machines are more rapid and you can play it more consecutively because it is fast unlike sports betting where matches take time. You might get addicted on sports betting more if you enjoy analyzing things and winning it might give you some pride for your skills. Not to mention that if you are a fan of the sport you are betting on, surely you are emotionally invested in the sport therefore would want to follow it and bet on it many times.

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?

Slots and sports betting can all be addictive if you use these games as a means of making money rather than entertainment and play recklessly. If you use them just for entertainment, then where will you get addicted. Now I like to bet on sports betting I bet on sports betting. I bet on sports betting just for entertainment. That is why I still gamble responsibly while playing sports betting. There are many people who are playing slot games. They are also accepting there entertainment and using it as entertainment. No matter how risky the slot game is, he will not get addicted because he is just gambling for entertainment. No matter what game you play, if you play for entertainment, you will not get addicted.

Slot or casino games definitely have a higher chance of addiction but both are addictive

We can settle for that, both are addictive. I am more into sports betting and I can say that it's giving me the thought at most times to watch for my bets. And with casino games, they seem to be more exciting than sportsbetting but regardless of it, both truly are addictive when you do too much for each of them. There were stories of addiction for both ends and they're not encouraging at all because of how they've become addicted and made these two their favorite ways to gamble. So, if someone gets addicted to slots, it's known for hyper intensive impact that it gives to one who plays it. And for sports betting, I think it shows slow effect to us but if we do it too much, we're also on the way to becoming addicted.

Well, that's what makes casino games much more interesting or can be easier to make a gambler addicted compared to sports betting, the winning system provided such as the jackpot you mentioned is one of the biggest factors that makes a gambler more interested in continuing to try, the results come out very quickly, simply as you said where a gambler can get rich in a short time but can also go bankrupt in a short time and usually gamblers always feel that they are the ones who will be lucky from the many gamblers who are playing at the same time, convenience is also one of the factors that makes this type of casino game easier to recognize compared to sports betting, I agree with that assumption and I am also one of the gamblers who favor casino games compared to sports betting because it is not complicated to do.

I think addictive is any gambling activity, that has quick outcome and does not require a person to think a lot (preferably think at all). Choosing between slots and sports betting, a round in slots is a couple of seconds and you dont even have to think at all when playing. In sports betting, bettor needs at least a couple of minutes to figure out who is going to win in the end. Number of games per second/minute/deposit also play a role. More rounds, more repetitive, more addictive.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Slot machines are more tempting because everything really happens fast. And I'm probably more of a fan of such games, where you don't need to analyze, think, and count. I only count what I lose or win. But in my local championship, bets are also possible, and there, in a place where I am better acquainted with the tournament table and the players, I sometimes place bets because it is not only a monetary motivation but also a spectacle that is interesting to watch, knowing some of the players directly.

[panjul07]

Any type of gambling can be addictive depending on how we deal with our gambling habit, addiction does not look at what games you play or how much you play but it is more about how you deal with it.
Addiction comes from ourselves, it can be from our own mindset, from our feeling or from our own willingness.
So basically there is no game which is more addictive than the others if you ask me because it addiction refers to the gambler not refers to the type of the game.

[Lida93]

It is worthy to note that both slots and sports betting can be addictive, which therefore depends on the gambler on how he gambles. Games with less timing like slots games can be easily addictive as the gambler spends less time without having to do any analysis in playing many times as possible. But for sports which some persons sees the analytical part of it towards making a good prediction as been boring, it tends to help reduce the speed at which a gambler can be addicted as he should for slots.

I know that the game type is a big factor in determining the ease of developing an addiction. Slots are invented so that they endlessly repeat the win lose process and that makes us addicted to that process within a short time. Sports betting is more sluggish even though it is still hazardous and may need some time off gap between games. It provides us with an opportunity to be put in a halt to think or even forget. This is where our awareness in our playing comes in. We need to know how to draw the line between being the ones in control of the game and the game is beginning to take control of us. It is not the question of what is safer, but how we treat both of them. Even the simplest games can make a big effect if we do not have clear boundaries.

Drawing the line has really helped to serve as mechanism for resistance against gambling addiction to me over the years I have been gambling. And all of these has to do with self discipline, because someone with a lack of self control can't be able to have the ability to handle certain losing situations with their bets to know when to draw the line. And when you can't control yourself, the game gets control of you and that's how addiction breeds.

[Dunamisx]

We sometimes gets addicted without even knowing that we are, maybe as a result of how we have been gambling and not paying attention to the effect reflecting on our personal life, gambling must be done when we have the interest on playing games for fun, but we also have to take some measures ensuring that things work out for the best of our own interest as we are gambling, because the game we eventually played does not caused us addiction, but this was a result of our personal kind of behavioral attitude when we are gambling and not been careful at every actions we take.

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?

Well I think it depends on the person, anybody can be addicted to anything so when it comes to gambling you can get addicted to anyone. An addict will always continue to play if he or she have the funds, most addict only stop to play because they don’t have the money to continue playing.

So to me I would say it all individual differences, all games are equally addictive, just that in sport betting you tend to spend less because he will have to wait for hours before betting again unlike slot when you will have to play every 5-10 minutes.

I always say, the wrong approach to gambling could cause serious financial problems.
It's not entirely true that if you run out of money you stop gambling. I know people who have even sold personal belongings to gamble, causing not only damage but also significant family distress.
Anything can be addictive. The human mind is both simple and complex. We don't all think the same way, and we don't all react the same way.
But what I always say is, go slowly in any situation. First, gain confidence and learn to manage your emotions. Then you can try to have fun without too many expectations.

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?

In terms of addictive effects, I find casino games like slots and roulette more effective than sports betting. I bet on sports because I enjoy them. But the difference is when I lose. For some reason, losing at games like slots is even more frustrating than at sports betting. I don't know how other gamblers feel, but that's what I've experienced, slots are addictive.

[cxtreenal]

We sometimes gets addicted without even knowing that we are, maybe as a result of how we have been gambling and not paying attention to the effect reflecting on our personal life, gambling must be done when we have the interest on playing games for fun, but we also have to take some measures ensuring that things work out for the best of our own interest as we are gambling, because the game we eventually played does not caused us addiction, but this was a result of our personal kind of behavioral attitude when we are gambling and not been careful at every actions we take.

We naturally become addicted, if we are not careful, it affects us financially. To avoid addiction, gamblers should use some strategies, including getting used to gambling for entertainment. Gambling for money causes financial and mental destruction for gamblers. I use more strategies, including reducing spending beyond their means and gambling with a prudent income. Gambling for entertainment and working for income should be such a mental preparation.

Personally, if you can be confident in your ability to judge your ability while gambling, you will be able to control yourself and refrain from making emotional decisions. It is better to control emotions to increase personal caution.

Yes, of course, and this is undoubtedly true, these games give instant results and there is no skill involved, so these games can be more deeply involved in gamblers, and that is definitely about addiction. Most gamblers who play slots, most of the time cannot have the mentality of accepting losses, even many times  we want, but also you can't accepted losses, because in these games there is always a high expectation that the result of the next game may reduce their losses. But through these, only frustration increases, and most gamblers become more addicted to games like these slots or roulette.
