Which is more addicting?

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Upon playing and of course obsevation i get more thrilling with the sports betting because you can see the team and the player make a winning and of course the comeback and tons of happening on the game its just a roller coaster of emotions what are the possible turn around and mistakes they make it could be become game changer and history of course, in terms of slot games all you need is to wait for the bonus spins, multiplier of course the combo so nothing more reason why I'm more active with the sports betting than on the slots.

Absolutely correct and I completely agree wit you on this, sports betting generally speaking is way more interesting and addictive than slot game, but this is only for the hardcore gamblers who have committed themselves to betting and also making sure they do not miss watching the match as well.

I myself used to love slot games before but over time, they began to appear boring to me, and this days, I play slot games only on special occasions when I really desire to play it, and even at this, I still get bored after I've played for some hours without winning any thing significant.
But for sports betting, I could bet all day and night and continue the next day without getting tired or bored regardless of whether I win or not, and so long as I have enough money to bet with and I don't regret losing the money, this is how interesting sports betting is to me.

I consider slots more addictive because everything is a matter of luck, with sports betting you have to think, analyze, see, search for news, do a good job to get a good prediction result, the difference in these is that slots can entertain you so much that you spend money almost without realizing it because the emotions they unleash are many, I would say slots and for that same reason and because by betting little you sometimes win a lot.

Slot machines are designed in such a way that people easily become addicted, especially in the case of physical casinos, where the exciting sounds, lights, and instant rewards all create a kind of mental excitement, which makes you more interested in gambling and all in all, a kind of confidence is created in you, which makes you feel like you can win very soon, in short, these things keep you locked in to gambling, you cannot get out of them easily. So slot games are definitely more addictive than sports betting.

I totally agree with that. I recently watched a travel show about how gambling is basically not allowed in Japan, but there are slot machines that accept special tokens that can then be converted into money. That's how they get around the gambling ban. And I want to say that Japanese slot machines are very bright, they have big boards with different colorful characters, loud sounds, bright colors, and I'm sure that even 10 minutes of playing on such a slot machine has a strong effect on the psyche.

Computer games are completely different, when you play you do not risk money, unless you buy some artifacts in the games and can lose them during the game. But even in this case it is different, because you directly play and win or lose in a game form. Slots are directly a game for money, when you make a spin you risk every time and it is difficult to compare with a computer game. I used to play computer games and did not lose anything, in slots everything is different. But if gambling, then bets are better, this suits me better.

Yes, you don't lose real money in computer games, but you also don't have the opportunity to win money. In addition, gambling is more emotional, because you are risking your own money and not the virtual life of a computer game character. I used to play computer games too, but now I prefer to play the same slots rather than a new computer game. But that's just my personal opinion, because in any case there are quite a few people who prefer computer games because there are no financial risks involved.

Slot is clearly a more addictive game. It's runs 24/7 compared to sports games where there are breaks. If a gambler don't take a break then the fixtures of the games if give the gambler break since sports games are not played everyday.

That's a big reason why slots is more addictive, there's no other way, it's just that players and gamblers focus more on one activity because of taste, some like slots more and others like sports betting, I think that's where the difference can be made, but I think both activities when practiced without control cause addiction.

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?

gambling is a gambling neither you're addicted in slot gambling games or you are addicted in sports bets all are addiction gambling, if you can control the manners that will make you not to be addicted in the slot gambling, such manners will also make you not to be addicted in sporty gambling, so it's vice-versa, addiction is when you are over committed to a particular thing, so in all gambling addiction are one, provided that it's all about gambling, so we have to understand the facts that gambling addiction is gambling addiction its not matter the kind of gambling we goes into

That is why control does not always allow you to stay away from addiction, because with each bet, a person becomes more committed to the game, and this cannot be stopped. Control only helps in cases where a person actually got up and left as soon as they realized that it was not worth continuing to play. But most often this does not happen.

Addiction happens in whatever games, what we call Addiction is an uncontrollable urge for something, and an addict, does that thing he is addicted to consistently, so it doesn't matter which game, addictions can come from whatever games be it slot, dice, sport betting and the rest.

Addiction is about the state of mind of the addict and not what he addicted to, a gambling addict can play several gambling game2all fuelled by his addictions.

A gambler can be addicted to any one of these games mentioned but do you think that being addicted to a certain type of game is more destructive compared to the other? Personally, I think that being addicted to some casino games can be more destructive compared to when it's a sports games, not everyone might agree to this thought but that's what I think. They are all addictions but the rate at which they are affected is different

Yeah, we can't actually come to a definite conclusion that it's slot of sports betting that gamblers get addicted from the most, because addiction comes from our actions, how we treat something.

It is true that football is seasonal but then, there is always a club or team of league playing football at any given point in time, if at all worst come to worst, there is no football game available to bet on, an addicted gambler in a bid to satisfy his or her cravings can bet on any other available sports game like basketball, table tennis, hockey and so on.

So whether slot of football games/sports betting, addiction is addiction and any body can get addicted playing any of this two types of gambling game, it all depends on their approach.

Yes, both are addictive.

Sports betting or slots, they're both addictive and it depends how a gambler will control themselves still if they are hooked to both games.

I've tried both games and mostly sticking to sports betting and if you're not careful enough with it. There is the likelihood that your losses will trigger you into becoming an addicted gambler.

[xLays]

This always happens to me. Everytime I win in sports betting, I end up playing slots with my winnings, eventhough I really hate playing slots. I don't know why but I guess some of you for sure experiences this. This is why I consider slots to be more addictive compared to sports betting.

I also noticed that when I switch from sportsbetting back to the original games or slot, you know what happens next I end up losing all my winnings.
Does anyone experience this often? Because me yes.

We are not supposed to be more committed from gambling knowing the consequences of gambling addiction, because gambling is something we need to have our own target, but most of us that gambles doesn't have that time to gamble with a target, and that's is the reason we do becomes addicted in gambling, we need to know that gambling is all about winning and losing and if we fails to control our emotions we have become addicted in the gambling, so therefore we need to be more careful in anything we do that have to do with gambling.

Slots and its variants are very popular in our country and I'd say that it's more addicting than sports betting. I've got friends who have into sports betting but they're living a better life and they have it balanced. Whilst for the slots players, I see that many of them aren't living a balance life and they're mostly addicted to the game. It's even in our news and made a documentary segment on how many of these wealthy people that became addicted to slots and lost everything that they have and so the regret is there, and always in the end.

[ajanwalker]

I think slot machines are more addictive. Losers at sports betting (like me) can sometimes take a break, but it's harder with slot machines.
I've only ever put a coin into a machine once. That time, I won a coin and a cigarette because the gambler before me had filled the machine to the required level. 25 years ago.
I've never gambled on slot machines again.
Sports betting, on the other hand, isn't.
I recently took a break, but I've been playing for a while. That's why sports betting has become a bigger addiction for me.
Sports betting is addictive for me, but slot machines are generally more addictive.
If I had gambled on the machines for a long time, I might have become addicted to both sides.

Basically, slot is more addictive than sports betting because for sports betting is a type game where the player places a bet and wait a while, sometimes even days before they finally find out what the outcome of the bet is, during this time of waiting, the gambler will engage himself to some other activities which helps their brain not to dwell too much on gambling.

But on the hand, slot games are a type of gambling game where the player needs to be actively playing, results are instant or as good as instant, this motives the gambler to continue placing bets almost every seconds, by this, they gambler may spend hours playing without even knowing it, the brain dwells so much on this game and if this continues to happen everyday, in a short time, this person will get used to playing this game which equals to addiction, so it's definitely easier to get addicted to slot games than in sports betting, but it all still depends on approach.

Yes, there is a waiting time for the sports bet and that's what the bettors there does. They can bet for some other games like slots and they'll able to compare which one is more addictive. And we have seen the effects of playing slots in our country and there have been too many addicted countrymen on it. The game is fast paced and money come and go quickly and I think that's one of the reasons why it has become addictive to many. Because of how quick one can make money and as well as lose money entirely. That's one factor that could make our dopamine rush on it..

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

For me it's sports betting than slots, in slots for long term or in one sitting I think it bores me out after an hour of playing continuously  while on sports betting even though it's slow paced, there a hundred of markets you can choose from daily and if you are good in analyzing with teams, the chance of winning will increase significantly.

But of course, it different for every person. Some people might be way more addicted to slots than to sports bet or other kind of games.

It's easier to be more disciplined when you are betting on sports, like you said it's slowed down so why would you place multiple bets immediately after losing, this would obviously be out of frustration and desperation to win. Your money back, it's a sign of indiscipline. Like you people are wired differently, some can be addicted to either one of them or they can get addicted to different types of games

I have a similar analogy to how I use my Sportsbet winnings but, rather than use the bulk of the money to gamble on slots, it’s usually when my bankroll doesn’t worth much to continue on the Sportsbet gambling. We know casino games like slots use the barest minimus in staking and that’s where I just decide to let those loose cents fly. Many at times, I don’t play for the intention of winning, I just play to test my stars and be entertained in the process.

They are all addictions but the rate at which they are affected is different

It could be true, but I think it's more about how a person bets when they are addicted to a game than the game itself, which means that if I'm addicted to slots because I like their graphics, but I only make small bets so that I can play for a longer time, I wouldn't lose that much money, but if I'm addicted to dice and my addiction involves using betting patterns such as martingale, then I will most likely lose more money because every time I apply that pattern, I will eventually exhaust my balance because we know martingale makes you lose more money in the long run.

There are different types of addictions in gambling, as I mentioned above, if someone is addicted to gambling because of greed; they must have become a gambler because they've heard stories of people becoming wealthy through gambling wins, and then they keep trying with large bets to achieve their goal but have always failed and eventually have become addicted to it. Someone might be addicted to gambling because they always liked playing certain games and they overdid it, and now they can't get rid of it and if they don't play for a day, they feel like something is missing in their life.

Whether you are betting on sports games or slots you can get addicted easily if you don't apply caution and self control when you are in a losing streak, losing puts you under an uncomfortable position which pushes you to keep betting so you could chase your losses to recover from them by if you are able to control the urge to keep gambling continuously be it in sports or slot games then you have self discipline. Addiction comes in different ways but it pushes the Addicted gamblers to make different types of mistakes in a different game.
