Which is more addicting?

[Crypto Library]

It seems clear why they become addicted to gambling. This is due to their high expectations and hopes for gambling, perhaps believing it would be easy to win. However, instead of seeking to change their lives by winning, they instead pursue winning, which is clearly a stage of gambling addiction.
Anything can become addictive if a person's goals and perspective are flawed from the start. However, for those with a wise mindset, all games are the same; there's no guaranteed easy reward.

To be honest, in general, if we look at it, most of us make more mistakes in the beginning, and it's mainly high expectations and easily losing control over our emotions that cause us some stress when we gamble in the beginning.

But I think that this can be prevented before it becomes an addiction if we understand our mistakes and try to recover from them. And if we cannot catch our mistakes then there is no way to correct them so we always need to keep track of our activity and check how much money we are spending on it based on our ability to lose. And then if the mind set is good then it is possible to avoid addiction.

I've noticed that if someone has been gambling for a long time, they'll play slots and sports betting at different times, depending on their preferences. When it comes to addiction, it's not the type of game, but rather the addiction to gambling for fun.

It's that the slots make us get very emotional, and the thing about sports betting is something that depends on the bettor's feelings, for example, I like to bet on football, but I like to bet when I feel very confident about doing it and Sometimes having that confidence I have lost , and in part I realize that they are events that happen , extraordinary but they happen , many of them possible according to how some players are in that Game , but mostly in Sports Betting it is more about Wisdom than luck.

the both of you made strong points. like seriously,,, high expectations at the start plux lack of mental control really do set the trap for many new gamblers in the game!!! it is more like you are stting up yourself for regular loses  and i also agree that keeping track of your mistakes and your spending is a key way to avoid falling into addiction! hostly i am not going to argue that for a bit.

what i will just add is that itx not only about mindset alone but also about setting up practical limits before you even start playing!!!! more like deciding a bankroll in advance, using deposit limits where it is possible nd treating losses as entertainment   although an annoying type of entertainment but just can't start up regretting cause no one forced you into it in the first place! so you hav to swallow the loss with negative pride    that kind of structure helps stop the emotional torture early enough. but on a more serious not do you guys think platforms should do more to enforce these responsible gambling measures or should it be left completely on the players! since what they want is to make money off the players tooo.??

Slots are not an emotional game for me, I just feel sorry to spend money on every spin where I rely only on luck. In betting, each wager depends on my choice and I like that more, although some people enjoy slots for their design and how colorful they look, but to me it feels like using bright colors to attract children’s attention.

Hahaha funny but true. Gamblers who constantly play slot games are always attracted by potential huge multipliers, they're always like, what if I hit that crazy multiplier on the next spin, and this serves as a motivation to keep going and going, and honestly, some get lucky, but the lucky ones are always few, and the majority are the ones who suffer ls for the victory of the minority that got lucky, so it's like taking money from the majority and giving a tiny bit of it to the minority, and honestly I see this as a huge scam.

[LUCKMCFLY]

there is nothing normal about addiction except you are an addict that is just trying to justifying your state of addiction. it is very possible to gamble without becoming addicted and quite a handful of gambler still gambles for long and stays clean as long as they are able to gamble in a responsible manner.

You are right, in none of the aspects are the actions that are addictive in people justified, no aspect of addiction is considered good, a person when playing or making sports bets should be as transparent as possible when they see the dangers, if a person is aware of the risks they should not fall into addiction, they should control their money and should know how to act at the right time, these acts prevent addiction.

Even though many people bet together in slot games, only a few get a return and most of them lose. There are some who believe in these games and bet as if they will win but they do not understand that luck will not always favor them here. Some, after winning, become more confident and try to bet more money, but in return they lose all their money. It is possible to make profit in a casino, but it is very small, and in most cases there is a possibility of losing. So there is no logic in putting a large money in such an uncertain platform.

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?

Of these two, people are more addicted to slot machines. Of course, there are several reasons behind this. For example, results are obtained in this game within a short time. If someone thinks that they will come here and play non-stop, there is also a system here.

People feel like they have won when playing here. The flashing lights and animation attract people's attention more. Moreover, there is also a chance to win the jackpot here. And to play here, no prior experience is required, everyone can play.

On the other hand, sports betting is long-term. You have to wait to get its results. This is possible only with patience.

To bet here regularly, you will definitely need knowledge about sports.

There's no excuse if you can control both your emotions and your financial management, there's no room for any addiction if you know your boundaries and you set your limitations, though it's really tough to compete against your own will but if you have that kind of discipline and you able to practice whatever the setup that you place, addiction won't be a thing to your gambling participation.

True knowing your boundaries is very important because most gamblers who get addicted to gambling is as a result of not knowing their limits in terms of setting boundaries so people should always not overstress their boundaries because doing that is deadly in gambling

I play all types of gambling, such as slots, sports, poker and others, but if you ask about which one is more addictive, it depends on the gambler because both games are very different, but my answer is that slot games are more addictive, because people who don't understand anything will definitely understand how to play slots, unlike sports betting.

I'm not very active in slot games. In the past, I didn't like slots, I just played a little and wondered what people felt when they played slots. Today, I have a different perspective. I can place sports bets and sometimes play slots. I don't bet more than $5 because I know it's very easy to lose money on slots

but when I play slots, I can have a lot of fun in the short time that the small amount of money allows me to play. I'm of the opinion that slots are easier to become addicted to than sports betting. This is just my opinion; I don't know if there is any more detailed research on this subject.

You may be right when you said that some people can understand slot more than sport betting. And yeah, slot games does not require much knowledge unlike that of sport betting that you have to figure out those options before you can be able to start betting games, due to this reasons some people can decide to stick to slot game because some people find it hard to master those options.

But even as that, most of them can stay long in playing slot game but you won't see them being addicted to it. That is because they have thier limit, while those that failed to set a limit would definitely end up being addicted to slot game, the same thing applicable in sport betting.

This is indeed true because every gambler has their own preferences, and these preferences cannot be compared between one another.

I still play slots and sports betting, but when it comes to choices, I clearly prioritize sports betting as my preferred option, leading me to gamble more frequently on sports betting than on slots or original games, and I use it as a form of entertainment for myself.

That’s because everyone has their own preferences depending on where they stand and what they enjoy. It doesn’t mean the others are bad, but they just don’t fit the criteria, so they don’t become the choice in the end.
What we aim for, besides winning, is comfort in playing and enjoyment for ourselves, so it’s impossible for us to seek out or play games when we don’t enjoy them.

Lately I have been of the opinion that the most addictive gambling games are those where the player does not need to analyze or think anything, but just press one button or make some random decision. These are slots, roulette...
I would also include here the Japanese national entertainment - gambling mgra, where the ball is thrown around a small field, because there you can regulate the force of the ball, which creates the illusion of control.

That is why many gamblers or bettors experience so-called emotional swings.
And I had a very similar situation: when I experienced a series of unsuccessful bets in slots, and then I reduced the bet, because I realized that in this way I would quickly zero out my entire deposit, but I got a multiplier!
In the first second I felt joy, but then I felt sorrow because I realized that I had won little money. And if this multiplier had come to the previous bets, I would have won a lot of money.

That's right, the most addictive thing in gambling is slots or roulette, Because of the easy availability of these things, a gambler is always very tempted towards them.
No skill is required here, you just have to press a button and you get the result immediately.
Which is why they play at an excessive level here, and they easily lose control here.
But in the case of other games, analysis or understanding is required, and it takes a some time, which is why the possibility of addiction here is less than playing slots.
However, everything is addictive, we can never deny this, so it is necessary to control yourself in all cases, and keep your limitations in mind for any subject.

Slots and roulette are indeed very addictive, because it’s just a mechanical push of a button, and in such moments critical thinking switches off a person simply acts on autopilot. Most people don’t like to strain their brains too much, while games like poker require analysis and thinking several moves ahead. That’s why actions that don’t require much effort tend to cause addiction to a greater extent in a larger number of people.

Yeah, setting the limits definitely works but it is wishful to think that you would not be seeing any slot addicts if they set limits. Slots are designed to burn those boundaries, losing very closely pings the same reward systems as victories, ”losses disguised as wins” make you excited even when you are losing cash, and the quick turnover of spins vaporizes self-control. Sports betting is not clean as well, in-play/custom bets escalate the risk levels even further. Yeah, discipline is important but product design is the main battle, its not your mindset. Guard yourself as the game is too stacked against your brain, it sort of is.

I completely agree with you. Gambling that is completely based on luck and we don't need to think about it, these are the most addictive types of gambling. These types of gambling don't require much effort or experience  to play. Those of us who gamble on sports rarely get addicted to it. Because we have to analyze different matches. We have to review different statistics. And even then we choose our favorite team and place a bet. On the other hand, gambling like slots doesn't require all of this. We can get rich very quickly and lose everything. Also, now various types of online gambling have also been added to it. Basically, gambling that can be participated in very quickly and results are obtained, these are more addictive.
