Which do you trust more? Sports bettting or gambling games

[vanesha]

In gambling, nothing is impossible to manipulate. Even sports betting, which is considered the fairest and most open, still has ways to manipulate it. Sometimes, we are unknowingly directed to bet on something that is clearly a loser, so they (the bookies) have a greater chance of winning. This can happen in many ways, whether through attractive odds or other factors. So, stay alert and always analyze before placing a bet. Don't be gullible.

I just (yeah, literally JUST now) had a random thought and it makes sense in my head.

So, the thing is do you feel that there is no manipulation when you make sports bets compared to when you play casino games? I mean, with former, you look at odds, and if you like you make a bet and sports is viewable by everybody, results are obvious, if you win the bet, you get the relevant amount back. See, everything is crystal clear, isn't it?

I think there is a twist here from what we have formally been discussing about the manipulations in the gambling events.
I can remember vividly that we have disused about the sport games such as those unpopular football leagues being manipulated due to less interest of fanbase and also how players also manipulates the games for self interests such that leaks game outcomes against betting.
Of course fixed games in the sport is real.

There had also been suspicious Speculation that the dealer in the slot also manipulates the casino game outcomes. And because it is a game of chance with results being determined by the RNG, bettors can not testify it when it is manipulated.

So if you ask me, I don't trust anyone and that is why I only have to bet with amount I can afford to loose.

First of, I prefer sports betting over casino games and secondly I trust sports (football to be precise and tennis) more than slots, you know that we can watch the match and see by our self how the team we bet on are performing and then we already tell our self that we have won a bet once the game is over, it's not for the bookie to decide who wins and who lose, they just put the odds and we make our choices based on the analysis we make but on slots, it's not like that, the outcome is based on RNG.

Since I often play sports betting now, I trust it more, although I started with slot games when I first played gambling here in the crypto space. I seem to appreciate sports betting games
more when I see the beauty of playing gambling here for real.
But sometimes I still play slot games when I gamble here in the crypto casino, and sometimes I also play baccarat and dice games and others
when I want to take a break from sports betting.

My situation is same as yours. I also used to play slot type gambling when I was not well informed  about gambling. But after a while I realized  that it doesn't require any experience or skill. If my luck is good, I win a lot of money in a short time , and if my luck is bad, I lose a large amount in a very short time. So gradually I removed myself from these  games.

My interest in sporting betting is high because I love sports. I enjoy the matches as  well as betting. This is my way of spending my free time. Also, I generally try to avoid the risk of very large amounts. Anyway, this is not always possible.

Sports betting would be that relevant if you are a person who do love a particular sport in compared into those who doesnt know about it or doesnt have the interest on which there's really the difference when it comes to perceptions and views towards sports betting. When you are knowledgeable then you would really be making up some analysis towards your bets in compared when you do deal up with casino games on which obviously that it would be that totally rely with luck. Now in talks about manipulation then it could be possible on casino games and so as with sports betting but we do know that it is unlikely to sports betting specially on bigger leagues. As for casino games then you should stick into those reputable ones on which you are confident that they are provably fair then you would be having that peace of mind that you arent being cheated.

What do you mean by manipulation, how and what are they maniputing for if not for match fixing?

However, addressing your topic, they manipulate games for it to go where the majority of people did not bet.
There is less manipulation when it comes to sports betting as compared to what goes on with other games that no one sees, except the player and the system. I have noticed that in one popular local casino platform in my side I use, that two people playing the same game and at same time and make same choice, that what the system displays (result) for this person is different from the other person playing with a different phone.

The reason why there are so many gamblers that will prefer sport betting to casino betting is because you can not easily manipulate the outcome of a sport betting unless the gambler is betting on virtual sports where w casino can easily manipulate the system to favour them which is the house edge we are talking about and we have been seeing that with casino games often times.

[Agbamoni]

All games in the casino can be manipulated. Both sports games and casino games are easily manipulated, none is excluded.

My reason for trusting sports games is that I bet on regulated ones. In professional sports I bet on, it is harder to control outcomes when there is transprency and strict consequences to anyone who is caught manipulating. Unlike casino game with little or no transparency.

[Cantsay]

None is free, but I will always go with sports betting... Even with the provably fair games, there's too much randomness in the system that I just don't see myself trusting them more than a game where I can see what is going on and how the players are doing.

Even if there is the issue of game fixing in sports betting, it will still be better than a system that just runs some computation that I know nothing about and then gives me a result.

[Floxynice]

If I place a bet and I lose, I will feel bad because I lost money. However, in that situation, I still know why I lost the bet. It is because the game was public, and I saw how everything played out. It is easier for me to accept the outcome of the bet because everything was very transparent for viewers to watch.

About casino games, I don't really know what happens behind the scenes. What I do know is that gambling is unpredictable and that the house has a higher edge over me. There is no transparency like there is in sports betting. So my answer? Yes, I trust sports betting more.

[macson]

In my opinion, it's not about which I trust more, but about probability. If in sports betting, you can choose a match and choose odds that are more favorable to you, then bet on that, your chances of winning are essentially better. In gambling the outcome is random and unpredictable, unlike when betting on sports. With this in mind, I place sports bets more rationally to seek profit, while gambling is purely for entertainment.

None is free, but I will always go with sports betting... Even with the provably fair games, there's too much randomness in the system that I just don't see myself trusting them more than a game where I can see what is going on and how the players are doing.

I feel same way when I stand in my choice of sports betting,  because I used to love casino games before when I didn't fully understand how odds work in sportsbetting and lost so much funds before the games I selected even started.
Until I learnt how to read and understand odds and understand how different factors affected the outcome of games of my choice, I did prefer casino games, not until I changed to sportsbetting with full understanding and now can use different strategies to bet, hence I forsook casino games and settled for sportsbetting strictly at least I can be sure of the results I get before the games end, which is very different from casino games that depend on RNG model to get results.

Both Sport betting games and casinos games has its advantages and disadvantages as it regards to gamblers, because when it comes to Sport games, you need to know that both luck and skills is very important for you to be able to win or remain consistent at making profits from Sport betting. Whereas, when it comes to Casino games, you need to know that what's important for you to be able to win a bet through it is luck, since the outcome of casino games are usually a product of random algorithm. So while asking the question, Which one do you trust more? Let's not forget that the answers gamblers will make will varies with respect to that which they have great knowledge about. And just like me who is not always lucky with gambling on Sport bets, I have tend to give Casino games a chance.

[Gost ms]

Personally, I like sports betting very much. The biggest reason for this is that in sports betting, winning and losing can be predicted in advance. However, although it depends on luck, it can still be predicted to some extent. For example, in the UCL, the match between Sporting VS Arsenal will be very likely for Arsenal to win. The reason is that Arsenal is in a very consistent position at the moment and their performance is very good. But if we consider Sporting's performance, we will see that Sporting is far behind Arsenal in all aspects. Considering everything, Arsenal's chance of winning is much higher.

If we consider casinos, we will see that it depends entirely on luck and there is no certainty whether we will win or lose. For this, personally, sports betting is the most preferable.

For some reason I trust sports betting more but that doesn’t mean it can’t  be manipulated, as gambling is concerned nothing is impossible, even the sport betting that we think it’s more fair than casino games can still be manipulated, to there own Favour, but in all I will alway chose sports betting because I’m more comfortable with them .

[promise444c5]

I trust sports betting more but not because of manipulation concerns…

The main reason I prefer sports betting over casino games like slots &co is because casino games result feel too random.. you have to depend solely on luck to win every round and I don’t like that.

Regardless of that, you can’t really prove there is manipulation going on in any of the games. If they are cheating, they risk losing their reputation if someone can prove it but that is how most of them are designed.

[danherbias07]

I trust sports betting more. Somehow, the chance of winning is higher because we are not relying on a system that is based on house edge, like how it is with casino games. Sports betting can actually be profitable for those who know what they are doing, and it all comes down to the analysis of the game and the possible results.
In casino games, the results are decided by a system that we don't really see, and it's decided by RNG. Most of the time, the losing percentage is higher unless an online casino makes a mistake in how they set the house edge, which is unlikely to happen.

In terms of winning percentage, I have won more in sports betting. In money, I have lost more in slots and casino games.

[Muba20]

Those who regularly gamble on sports and casinos know the answer to this question. I will say for my part that there are definitely things in sports like casinos that are not really visible. It is not like a gambler in a casino who wins every time. I have tried many times that after I have won a few times, my losses are guaranteed. Even after I continue to try, I do not win again at that moment. Although everything is visible in sports betting, there are some hidden strategies that the average viewer will not understand, especially in the games that are played in the franchise leagues. I think whatever happens is part of the game. I have no excitement about match fixing, but I think that if I have luck, I will win.

[purple_sparkles]

I think sports betting is statistically easier to calculate and predict compared to casino games, especially when your opponent is a computer program. I’ve often seen people who made money by betting on sports events, but I have always believed, and still believe, that it’s a very stressful and thankless activity. If a person has such a sharp analytical mind that they can make accurate predictions in sports betting, they could monetize their intelligence much more effectively in other areas.

They won't lie to you about the results, of course, and a bet won will always be a bet won. The trick is in the odds: imagine that the "fair" odds is 2.00, but you are offered 1.98 instead. For you it means almost nothing, but in big numbers it makes sense for the casino. So they don't need to fix matches or lie to you about the results, their profitability is guaranteed on beforehand.

[CryptSafe]

Sports betting seems more reliable than gambling games because I feel gambling has a way of depending mainly on luck, but with some sports, you can be able to do your analysis and be sure of the outcome of it based on the team you choose and their performance, which you know are very reliable to bet on. However, sometimes it might not be the case as you think it could be against your odds, and you lose out, but in gambling, it is a thing of probability, so you play with a probability mindset and accept the outcome of the results with fate.
