Are sportsbook users turning into casino users over time?

[Cantsay]

Initially I was only for sports betting but then I switched to casino games only because of my losing streak whenever I bet on sports, I left it went to casino games and my first few days were okay but then I started losing after few months and also I was gambling excessively because unlike sports where I’ll have to analyze th game before placing my bet I didn’t need any of those and that made me stay longer than my usual time.

But how, I’m mixing the both of them, I don’t just focus on sports only I gamble on casino games and it’s been a lot better than when I just left sports betting out of the picture and focus only on casino games.

A bit off topic, but i won’t be surprised if a studies comes and shows that 80% - 90% of casino games players are addicted to it because with the few months i spent I know what I went through just to be free from it.

I don't see any problem with that. It's normal for bettors to look for new ways to bet; I like sports betting, but I spend most of my time playing slots and blackjack, for fun. However, you can do both. There's no right or wrong.

[Churchillvv]

Personally I think it’s not a balanced situation right now, people are moving from sport books to Casino to fill up the dead time of eating for a live match to end and other minor stuffs while at the same vain people are moving from casino to sport books because they are becoming addicted, so at these point it’s just a natural situation where humans are similarly see reasons on everything so it’s very difficult to determine which one is higher at this point

[Cookdata]

From what I've heard, the following reasons are given: casinos offer extra bonuses and rewards because they see people playing slots nonstop. Since sports betting feels slower, casino games fill up the "dead time" and make it simpler to pursue losses on slots or other rapid games. People become tired waiting for live matches.

However, it's also possible that some casino players transition into sports because they seek something more "skill based."

So I wanted to know whats been your guys experience or if you know of people who have made that switch?

I'm not experienced with slot bonuses and all that. What I'm familiar with sport betting is the higher you stake the more likely you are going to have bonus. The bonuses share by top players on sport books are not small numbers, they are always high. I also notice they have a time line promotional bonus, I don't know if that happens with other casino games, they tell you to stake an amount an above and you are going to be eligible for some bonus.

Appperrenty, I don't like casino games, they don't fit into my book of play or maybe I'm not convince well enough that they are good. I haven't really won them to the satisfaction to think they are better than sportbooks. I also have a limited time I spend on gambling, I don't want to be on my screen time all my days. There are days I don't go through the book to gamble, I do get a rough sheet of the same sportbooks and look at my choice and put my money and focus on what I have on my head for the day.

I started off gambling solely as a sports bettor, i wagered on nothing else. However, even right now i still largely only gamble on football games, but i have added a bit of slots, maybe more than a bit actually. I enjoy slots, it is quick and fast, though if you are not careful it could eat up all of your bankroll as you continue spinning. So i could say 75% of my bankroll goes to football betting, while the other 25% is eating up in slots, fair enough if you ask me.

Whether you are a sportbook player or casino player, you'll are gamblers and you have the right to play whatever bet you will like to play that will earn you money. Before casino with slot games are always different from casinos with sportbook. These days many casinos are switch and emerging the two together so that they can gain the heart of both players to be using their casinos.
We now have casinos having sportbook ans casino games so you don't have to bet here and later bet in another casino for sport games.

I didn't really understand sports betting at first, I kept spending my time playing casino games. As time went by I saw sports promotions I tried them and I switched to sports betting and now I hate casino games like slots, I focus on sports betting because I feel comfortable with sports betting.

[DPHOR]

Of lately I have not been able to focused on sports alone why because I want to try to spread my tentacles since I wasn't originally a casino player, and of course for the little period and duration I have given trial to casino game mainly slot, I have seen a very big different because I now sometime secure winning more than I do with sports betting. Although I can't say it all because I think it is about luck depending on when your lucks shine and when the said casino remembered that particular gamblers per say.

[Smartvirus]

A lot of sportsbook have casino games on their options and this has made bettors want to try their luck with these games. I try to focus only on sports betting but whenever I lose I try to double up whatever I have left on slot or crash games but this always ends in more losses. It is better to always stick to sports betting whether you are winning or losing, switching would lead to double losses

Indeed, many gambling sites tend to offer both casino and sportsbook services which I think it’s the right way to run this kind of business, being all encompassing, getting and keeping a loyal gambling customer base by not offering exclusive services and instead, have all in one place so, your gambling customers don’t go searching some place else for much needed games.

Many gamblers prioritize the sportsbook because it’s more speculative and have got data to use in predicting it’s outcome but, it’s less entertaining as casino games and on the casino games, you could gamble with very low amounts. This in turn pushes sportsbook gambler to try out casino games so yes, it happens.

[Mindyspace]

I always see this happen when a big influencer appears showcasing other options like slots. That's when this migration ends up occurring. It also happens when a bettor gets frustrated and ends up losing many sports bets and switches to slots, liking the ease and speed of the winnings.

So I wanted to know whats been your guys experience or if you know of people who have made that switch?

Most of the gamblers I know are sports gamblers and they don't show sign of casino betting because they are football fans and can relate to what they are betting on, they watch games or research using different analytical skills to conclude their prediction but this is not done in casino games, you don't need precedents to play them or try to check and research for precedent on the casino games.

So what I think is, it is easier for a casino bettor to adapt with sports betting than a sports bettor adapting easily to a casino games.

You summarized the whole scope of how it is with seasoned sports bettors. It is quite harder for you to see a sports bettor playing a game like slots. Sometimes when there is an international break, they even look out for other leagues just to make sure they keep trying out that strategy that has worked and is still working.

On this note can we consider virtual sports gambling as sports gambling, it's modelled after sports gambling but it's not real sports with everything being computer based and winning being based mostly on luck than on your skills as a sports gambler, plus it's timing is closer to casino betting than it is to sports betting, for me I would say it's a casino bet mimicking sports betting as to draw in gamblers of both sports and casinos to itself, a win win situation for the betting companies.

So I wanted to know whats been your guys experience or if you know of people who have made that switch?

I made a switch, but the other way around. When I was single, I tend to visit casinos to play slots, roulette, and other pure-luck based games because I feel like everything is fast-paced. Either i lost fast or win faster. Then I rush home when I get a win to enjoy some ice cold beer and some movies on weekend. But, everything changed when I get married and have children. I learned to value my hard earned money, that instead of spending it to a fast-pace gambling environment, I switched to sports betting where everything is a complete opposite from those pure-luck based games. I actually saved a lot from a potential loss, and enjoyed my bets more than I ever had in my whole gambling experience.
I just realized that I got matured and become more responsible from being a total wreckless gambler that I once was.

So I wanted to know whats been your guys experience or if you know of people who have made that switch?

I make those switches all the time. Slots & other luck-based games can be crazy... too many games to play, some of them can be pretty fast and provide a lot of action. While with sports betting, we can take it easy... we can check news, stats, and other stuff in peace and slowly place our bets and just wait. That's why a lot of people are switching from one to the other, and I am sure some people made a permanent switch... why not? That can happen to anyone for all sorts of reasons...

In fact, sports betting is now far from being a classic. There are many options available for placing bets in real time as the games are being played. In a way, live betting in sports betting gives people the feeling of playing a casino game. For this reason, those who bet on sports may not need to choose casino games, but those who want much faster results will of course prefer casino games over sports betting. It would be surprising if someone who bets didn't play casino games.

[jcojci]

I mostly play slots but I occasionally place a bet if I see my favorite team play. Playing slots is just a way to kill the boredom while waiting for the match to end. So playing slots will fill the time but unfortunately, we can lose more than we expect. It is because playing slots can spark curiosity especially when we lose. We become curious about our loss and will play more. But some people move on slots to other gambling games to reduce their time in gambling. And sports betting can be a way to reduce because they just analyze and place their bet. Then they can leave the casino and come back in a few hours.

[Agbamoni]

It won't be a big mistake when you can do both, occasionally play slots and occasionally bet sports books, both can be used, as long as you stick with a predetermined amount of money so that you don't make a big mistake at a loss that you can't accept in a casino, I say it's a hybrid.

Sports betting is also inseparable from luck, the skill that exists in sports betting is to increase the odds, therefore this skill is very useful to see the potential, but there is no guarantee that it can win.

This is your own conclusion, but I believe as a gambler, only stick to what works for you. You don't have to do everything in gambling. If you are a sports bettor, bet on sports most time and do the casino games only when you want to have fun.

A gambler with the intention of having fun can play both sports and casino games, but one with the intention of making a profit will only play games they are more familiar with. One where good luck can be expected.

You don't have to hate casino games. They're also fun, just because you were able to test and try sportsbetting, it doesn't have to be like that.

But if you're comfortable with sportsbetting now, I'm happy for you because there are a lot of sportsbettors in the forum.

Though I just want to remind you that you don't have to despise the casino games because once you get a losing streak in your sport bets, you can always go back to your first love which are the casino games.

Many people start with slot machines but later get bored with the repetitive nature of slots and move on to sports betting which seems to be more analytically aligned with their interests. Slots are completely based on luck, but sports betting involves knowledge of the teams and players, meaning that while sports betting gives them an illusion of control, luck still plays a role. Sports betting is a bit slower and its slower pace attracts many. Many gamblers switch back and forth between the two over time to maintain the excitement.
