Topic: Casino Gambling vs Sport Betting, Lets Discuss (Read 400 times)

skills? What do you call skills in casino gambling? Tchh!! We've only got strategies to play the game.. I haven't heard of anything like skills, or better still could you atleast telme one skill?

No matter how constructive your words seem to be, this isn't an informative thread right?? Do you wanna tutor us all that there's a thing like head-to-head and other ways to compare a team's capability? Lol

Exactly, but don't forget that it's also easier to lose quickly in online/casino compared to sports betting. Also, in casino, no matter what we say, it's purely based on luck, unlike in sports betting where you can do research to base your bets on. No matter how skilled you are, you have no control over the outcome. In sports betting, there's an advantage because you can research like team performance, players and other factors that can affect the result of the game.

One major reason I do not patronize casino gambling that much is because I see it as a game where the gamblers do not have control over the outcome of the games unlike sports betting. Only few casino games allow the gamblers to put in some skills or strategies and that is why the house will always have an edge over the gamblers.

In sports betting, the vital information and knowledge about a particular sport at the the disposal of a particular gambler is enough to help him strategize and come up with a good betting plan. Lots of positive efforts are put in and in most cases, the efforts are not exhausting and boring because it is done out of one's passion for sports.

Everyone definitely have their preferences when it comes to gambling and I know my view about sports betting and casino gambling might be the total opposite of the next person's view. Sticking to what excites one about gambling will make gambling more fun and entertaining.

By definition, Sports gambling simply has to do with wagering on a real life sports activity involving Human beings though eSports is considered as a sport too maybe because  humans are involved in getting the rest , while casino gambling games are usually influenced by an algorithm and depends on luck making it difficult for multiple players to win at the same time as everyone has a different session  

Otherwise of the two, you can make you own luck with sports betting and it's my preferred choice.

Yes, it's what we call the adrenaline rush, and the dopamine, and most of us are looking for that effect in our mind. It could be positive or negative effect and obviously, if we win then we have that boost and feeling good, while if we get a L, gonna be bad mentality. And then the atmosphere in land base casinos are different, lots of gamblers around and you can get a free drink too and be entertained.


It's more of a thinking game, you analyze the team that are going to play, you see the favorites and read if they can cover that up. Or if you see that the underdog has a good chance to win and then you take that risk with them based on your experience of that game. So two distinct and very different approach from us gamblers.

These are the factors why someone is enjoying to gamble through casinos. The ambiance and everything there is what makes the minds of the gamblers keep coming back.

For each spin, or pull of the lever that we make, it becomes interesting and exciting.

Whilst for sports betting, it is what I prefer because I can do that while I am at home and that's what I like for having that perk.

Those things are their main differences on which it is really that understandable that when it comes to casino games then we do know that we are against the house and there's no way that we could beat it out on the long term or run on which we know that they are really that on great advantage against their players and this is something that people should realize because we do know that there are people who are really that delusional when it comes to this aspect.Trying out to compare into those things which strategy could really be applied like sports betting and card games then this is where you could have that advantage since you could apply a strategy and this is something that gives you an edge.This is why it's really that important that when it comes on choosing on which type of game you would be choosing then its really just that according into your own preference and expect on what kind or level of risks or odds on winning or losing up the game.

I don't think there is much to say here other than the two are fairer than each other. If you are betting casino games, be sure that the house has an advantage over you since they own and operate the algorithms you are playing against. They can in some cases increase or decrease the difficulties, that is why you will never be at that advantage against them but rely on luck no matter how good you are at playing it.

But for sports betting, the house is risking just like you as you are betting what is not deniable anywhere in the world. The results of matches and the events that happened during those matches are always the same all over the world because everyone is seeing them at the same time and records will always be the same, which are accessible all over the internet. So the house will not be able to manipulate anything here but will have to continue to take the risk against your side of the bet.

If you are good, they get to face the brunt as you continue to earn from their pocket. But if you are a loser, they get to pocket your money, it's as simple as that and nothing is fairer than this.

Most beginners knows that playing games using money is gambling but they will not thinks if that's a casino gambling or sports betting. But if they involved deeper than before, they will knows the different and they will choose what they wants. That will not be a problem for them to playing casino games or sports betting because they will playing gambling with what they wants. Each people will have their own opinions about casino games and sports betting and we can agree with them as we don't have the same understanding. We don't have to disagree with other people that compare between casino games or sports betting because that's the same which is playing the games using money although the formats is different so both casino games and sports betting have its fan.

I can agree with this, it's really fun if we bet on our favorite team but on the gamblers side, this isn't an effective strategy to win, at least base on my experience only. We can choose between sports betting and in a casino, but personally, I'm more interested with sports betting as I find it very challenging that overtime I'm hoping my skills to improve.

I think that both of them have their own high. I personally was playing live blackjack when I was depressed about my life for some reasons and I want to say that it was amazing, you interact with live dealers, chat with other players, and gamble at the same time, that feels really good. Slots with good graphics are nice and offer a good experience but I get bored easily with them. Roulette, Plinko and other similar games aren't my thing. Oh, I love poker very much too.

Sports betting is also amazing, especially when you bet on your favourite team. I was often making bets on FC Barcelona, then I would sit and watch how Barca was playing. It's really amazing experience when you bet on your favourite club and then watch them score one goal, two goals, three goals and finally, they win and you also win some money, this is like a double happiness.

I will totally agree with you on that, in fact with sports betting, you don't need to play a lot of games, just choose few where you can analyze it well so you'll be confident with your bet. That's based on my experience and that's what I'm doing now, I learned that putting a lot of bet in sports is just like trying to play the luck game, if you want to win and earn the consistency, you need to have a solid pick every time.

Simply put, yes, if you want to test your luck then just go for all the games of gambling and if you are an expert in any sport then you must go for sportsbetting to get positive results of your gambling. Please note, sportsbetting is again a type of gambling which means nothing is guaranteed here.

But, sportsbetting got better edge of getting you profits than most other gambling categories which is the reason sportsbetting could be considered to kill your boredom and to get you some excitement of money making.

I don't say that sportsbetting should be considered a way for someone to earn money or encourage anyone to get into gambling, specifically sports betting, but I believe that if you know a sport extremely well, you know every team and every player and you can generally understand which team is going to win in any match you see, then it is possible for you to have more wins than losses if you get into sports betting.

I think that gambling in casinos will always be based on fucking luck, but in sports betting I give a lot of credit to those who know how to bet and who make their bets Based on what they know , that's why I will always say that for me Sports betting has a certain analogy with trading, that's why we will Always do the best in terms of it. I am one of those people who would prefer a thousand times to bet on a sports bet rather than leave everything to chance playing slot machinesv, crash, roulette , Among other things, everything is given to luck, if there are strategies, but in part luck is what has the greatest influence.

Sports gambling is watching a sports related match up and betting on your favored team. While in casino gambling these are the typical games you will see in a lnd based casino like slot machines, roulettes, card and dice games and the likes. In casino gambling, the only thing you could do as a gambler is to depend on your luck qnd fate. With sports gambling, you could make  an analysis in a match based on players or team statistics and previous matches to help you decide which one will basically win. Now if the question is which gambling concept is better and will generate a more consistent profit then I'd say neither.

Luck will always be the bottomline as long as gambling is involved. You could be good on either sports betting or casino gambling, therefore that speaks for your preference.

Both of them will somehow need our luck even if you're too skilled in sports betting. But for the sports bettor, we know how to come up with each of our bets before betting them to the teams or athletes that we're gambling for.

There is no need for a long discussion about this subject. All of us prefer what we prefer and if it's with luck, we just roll the dice and sit on our chairs all day long trying to find our luck.

While for the sports betting, we can do research all day long before the game commences and placing our bets.

If I say about my self then I will say that there is the casino gambling have need luck more than the skills. But incase of sports gambling I think gambler have to have the knowledge about the sports and team and also the players. And I like this much for this reason.

I have done a lot of both, sports betting and online betting.  Of course really the main difference is in betting on something that is live, that involves humans playing against each other in a game of sports.  I'm not really sure what the discussion is about here, but personally I really enjoy sports betting more than anything.  It's one of the few gambling "games" that I feel like I have more gambling control over since I'm so heavily involved watching these games.

Casino gambling offers a different environment and socialization style, we can gather our friends there and gamble together if we want. But how does it differ from sports betting? If we talk about the chances of winning, it is very clear that sports betting has bigger chances but if we talk about enjoyment, well, we could say it depends on our preferences. Why? Because even we know that casino games are pure lack based games still we can see a lot of people going there in and out which means that gamblers find it enjoyable. Therefore, I don't think that gamblers are gambling for the sake and the hope of winning big but also, we consider that they are enjoying their time with this even if they lose.

Less likely to make mistakes in sports betting as you have to analyze first the game before you place a bet while
Playing with the casinos games are purely based on luck where you just have to set-up your bet amount and start playing. Playing with casino games are more prone to error as it moves faster and a lot of incidents already where they bet a huge amount instead of a small one, I even experienced this before and that was a costly mistake.

On the moment that you do consider on betting up on sports then it would really be something that will really be entertaining or something that could give out that thrill is on the moment that you would be finding yourself having that kind of interest towards a certain sport. There's no point on betting on sports if  you dont have idea on what you are really that doing on which simply means that it would really be ideal that you should be making bets on something which you do know. In speaking about knowledge and skills or analysis then it would really be something significant on sports betting on which it is unlike when you do deal up with casino games on which it would really be that entirely be not that needed when dealing with those luck games on which it is really not significant.

You would really be having that better chances on being profitable on sports rather than on casino games which house do always win at the end, although it doesnt mean that you cant make winnings on casino
games but it would really be that heavily relying on luck and this is something that you should really be that making  yourself wary or really be able to realize. This is why it would really be that best that you should really
choosing up on where you do find yourself getting entertained or having that leisure because in the first place on which gambling is really that something that will really be just that for fun
and entertainment. Money or winning is really just that a bonus imho.

Both casino gambling and sports betting carry the same risk of loss. It's just that in terms of odds, it seems that the chances of winning in sports betting are slightly greater than in casino gambling. because when betting on sports, in terms of opportunities it can still be maximized, perhaps depending on our ability to analyze the match and also the betting strategy applied. Meanwhile, in casino gambling, in certain types of gambling such as slots and others, the chances of winning are always smaller than losing, even if you are quite skilled at gambling. Because in certain types of gambling, the house always has the upper hand and has the advantage. So most people who are involved in casino gambling, they play just to test their luck. Meanwhile, when betting, they are just testing their ability to carry out match analysis. And as for those who spend a lot of money in casino gambling, those are just a bunch of fools hoping to make huge profits instantly.

Being a lover of sports, it is easier for me to walk into any betting shop or login my betting app to place bets on games I find interesting or challenging. Interestingly, most of the wins I get as a gambler are from sports betting. For someone who is passionate about a particular sport, it is not quite difficult making good analysis base on both past and present performances of both teams involved. I have gambled at the casino too and I must say, I find sports betting more a fun and interesting activity that allows me compare the strengths and weaknesses of teams involved to arrive at a conclusion.

Most people who are passionate about sports often make the mistake of involving their emotions to the bets they play. They do this when they bet in favour or against a particular team simply because they love or hate a particular team. This is the major cause of failure for most sports bettors.

It's not the same thing, because casino games produce instant results, while for sport bets you need to wait even for live bets. So sport bettors are less likely to make mistakes, and to chase their losses. They don't feel in the same way the near win effect for example except maybe if they are using live bets though. But even with live bets, you need to wait several minutes at least while with casino games you got the outcomes within few seconds most times.

Well, first of all, let me mention that this is a topic that has been discussed on this board on several occasions before, in fact, I was actually one of those who have started a thread on exactly this same subject before, but all the same, the forum is an online platform which new people are joining almost every day, so, it's never bad to discuss what have been previously discussed as far as newbies learn from it.

Casino games are pure luck based games, you talked about skill in this area, but to be honest with you, I do not see any area of casino games where skill helps the player to win, winning and losing in this type of gambling games totally depends on how lucky and unlucky the player is.

While sports betting is more like a knowledge based game, this simply means that, the gambler's knowledge on sports teams and clubs, and every other thing about sports generally, helps the player to make better prediction and stand a better chances of predicting correctly and win his or her bet.
And as a correction, sports betting is not just about live betting, people can bet on sports matches that still have even up to a month before the game will be played, all that matters is that the player is cool have his or her money locked in a bet for that long.

The first time I heard about gambling, I was betting on red or black in online roulette. The first thought that came to me when making these bets was that I was losing because they could make any result that was beneficial to them. For example, let a player win a little to get him hooked, and then undress him. Now, of course, I understand that there are various audits and checks for casinos so that they do not do this. But then it was precisely for this reason that I switched to sports betting because I believed that everything was so random, but as time has shown, fake matches can be made in any sport and at the highest level.

Of course, there are other factors besides what I mentioned. In casinos and in sports betting, we ultimately still play against the house and this is important to understand, other subtleties are unimportant.

I prefer sports betting because these are matches that are live and real and whatever be the outcome of the match that is what it is but in casino games I feel the games are being manipulated more especially when they are experiencing numerous winning because they are the ones that programmed them and it is mostly in their favour because no matter how you win in a casino game as soon as you keep on playing again after a win you might end up losing everything.

This still depends on preference. The music you find entertaining to your ears can be very disturbing for another person.

---

Most of the differences between the two options are centered on skill requirements and luck requirement, and some other people have only made the comparison with only online casinos and sports betting platforms.

Another difference between the two if it is a physical casino or online is that in casino PVP games, the people who play the games are the ones who stand the chance of winning not outsiders, the casino just takes a commission. In sports betting, asides the salary to be earned by the teams, it is outsiders who place bets on them that win.

Yes, and we bet because we are sports fan in the first place. So it makes the game more exciting to watch specially when it is live to see if our teams are going to win. Definitely there's no guarantee in gambling, but our chances might be good as compare to casino games that most of the times the odds are not on our favor regardless of what we believed in or what strategy we used like martingale system which is very famous for most gamblers.

But as you have pointed out, we can combine this games for a better experience. The games that we follow or after that, there's no more thrill. So if we are that person who seeks and looking for more adrenaline rush, then we go and play on casinos.

I believe everybody has his or her preference when it comes to this, I have been playing sports betting right after secondary school especially popular sports like football, but in casino gambling, you will need more knowledge esp. if you grew up in areas where people don't play casinos much. I'm in the process of learning more on the casino side.

One I prefer about gambling on sport bets is that the result is universal and the casino or the bet creator do not determine who wins and who lose. Gambling is supposed to be in a form where no body can 100% determine the outcome of the bet. Casino games can be quite profitable based on our luck but the games are programmed in a way that can be compromised. We can always make money from any bets we are playing once we know what we are doing and we are easy to make money from what we doing by playing more with enough risk management to prevent us from becoming addictive gamblers.

It is not rocket science actually...

Gambling and casino games: Games of chance in which the outcome of the result completely relies on the entropy being pulled by a randomnumber generator, which at the same time uses entrophy to get a signal/value/or result which is unpredictable through human capable means. The casino games and the gambling of the casinos focus on this enthropy and the house hedge, so they can have earning in the long term as their casino continues to thrive and attract more volume from new gamblers.

Sport betting: It does not rely on the generation of random numbers in order to decided the outcome or the result of the bet, it needs certain events to happen in order to do so. In these cases the enthropy is not so strong as it is with regular casino gambling, so there chances for people to influence on the outcome of the matches, for their own economical benefit, it is called "match fixing", you probably knew the term.
Also, unlike in gambling/casino games there is a small component of skill within the world of sport betting, because can make their own calculations, use their intuition, and evaluate the chances of winning, depending of the previous performances of the teams facing each other, there a little bit of power of choice. You won't find such a thing in casinos games like Plinko, dices or mines. In my opinion. There is no analisys at all nor there is skill which could help you to profit off it.

But have you ever felt that playing at a casino gives a more enjoyable feeling than sports betting?
In terms of odds, yes, like you, I prefer sports betting. But in terms of the pleasure we get from gambling games, casino gambling can really give us a feeling of joy. whether it's from the interface or the music which is very typical of several games in the casino.

Therefore, I also often play at the casino in between sports betting which may not be interesting when the league is on break.

Well sports betting is just another type of gambling and I do both, casino gambling games and sports betting but what I like the most is sports betting because there are more basis or chances of winning in sports betting the those randomizes casino gambling games, that will most likely make you lost a lot money than earning, but in sports betting you only have 50/50 percent chances of winning becauss you will only need to side or bet on a team or player that has the higher chance owf winning, and also there are more ways to increase the chance of winning based on the statistics and datas from the players or teams. Unlike in most casino gambling games, the games are more on random or luck based games which is I think a waste of money to do because you will juat waste money on that, but I also do casino games but more on cards games, poker, black jack and many more.

Right from the on-set, I started gambling with sport betting, which is my favorite aspect of gambling, although I later fell in love with a few casino games like Crash, Plinko, and Dice. I feel that sport betting gives me a better chance to win huge amounts because I can stake a little high amount on a sport bet (football), whereas in casino games I would only want to risk a very small amount that I would consider too small to stake on a live match. If, for example, a live match is about to kick off and I am convinced that the team will win, I will stake in the game and feel more assured of success than I would be if I were rolling dice or playing crash. Both depend on luck, but casino games get me more scared. 

Most of us like to combine casino games with betting on sports. I guess we can say they are two different things in so many ways. Casino games are always available, table games of all sorts, slots, original games, all of them are available 24/7. The gameplay depends on you, you can play it faster and more aggressively for extra excitement, or you can take it slow. I think most of us mix those two from time to time, from moment to moment. You need to have basic knowledge and you are ready to go and play any casino game, if you get lucky enough you can win nice amounts. Sadly without luck, we will just bust our bankroll, or some part of it.

Sport betting on the other side provides a different kind of excitement. We need to wait game to finish, so the waiting period is a lot longer, and there are not always good games. But with some nice knowledge about the sport you plan to bet on you can have more chances to win, but there are no guarantees in gambling.

Aside from acquiring a little bit of analytical abilities based on statistics and data about players’ readiness, what skills do you imagine a gambler would use to make sports bets? You talk about sports betting as if the percentage of luck in it is small (almost negligible) and that the winner is always more skilled than others. This is not entirely accurate.

According to some scientific research, the predictions made by gamblers in sports betting depend on a type of expectation called social proof which can be a powerful influence on in-play betting decisions. When bettors see that others are betting on a particular outcome or strategy, they are more likely to follow suit. This is because people have a natural tendency to conform to the actions and opinions of others, especially when they are unsure of what course of action to take. For example, if a bettor sees that a large number of people are betting on a particular team to win, he or she may feel more confident when betting on that team as well.

I always prefer casino gambling to sports betting. Casino gambling is rational, sports betting is emotional. In Casio gambling, besides the luck factor, knowledge and caution are extremely important. In sports betting, however, these may not be enough. There is a lot of interest in sports betting nowadays, which is why there is a lot of match fixing and shady situations in this type of betting. In casino gambling we always think that the table will win, but if you know enough combinations you know where to stop after winning in the casino. This way you can make a regular profit in the casino, even if it is not constant. In my opinion, casino gambling is much easier to win than sports betting.

The casino and sportsbook owners make money similarly, but how they're applied is somewhat different.

In casino games, we have the house edge, which always reduces our chances of winning. It's why we usually pick games with the lowest house edge, but it takes a while before we see its effects kick in.

While the sportsbooks have the juice or vigorish, they are slightly similar to the house edge in that they'd reduce the odds or payout of our bets without affecting our win probability. It's why others would recommend shopping for the best odds because some bookies distribute their juice differently.

Even though the vigorish from sports betting doesn't reduce our chance to win, luck is still a big factor in most sports.

Nice thread for others to learn from, firstly I don't believe that luck exist in gambling it a neutral platform were everyone operate based on the chances the game offers to either win or loss.

Casino gambling involves gambling in chance were uncertainties are inevitable and the outcome can't or isn't influenced by any external factor. While,
Sport betting involves staking an amount with odds present on a particular sport that mostly live whereby we win or loss based on our analysis and predictions the risk isn't like that of casinos though gambling itself involves risk.

For me it's hard to say that casino gambling requires skill because it's obviously pure luck because there's no strategy whatsoever in these games like slots, dice, crashes and many other games maybe others people say Blackjack and Bacarat.
So it's a game full of thrill with enough self-control otherwise one will run out of money there.

Sports betting obviously for me this requires skill where you have to know which team is doing well, the players involved then this requires analysis then I guess this is a skill, on the one hand sports betting you can win and guess it if you choose the right bet even though the odds are small but you can win.

My understanding is that both are gambling, of course there are advantages and disadvantages, sports gambling has its own charm and casinos do too, essentially both have their own betting addicts.

Apart from the different gambling procedures, of course as you said, casinos have a slim chance of winning at a ratio of 3/1 even if you are lucky, but for sports betting I dare say the chance of winning is big, as is the bet we place.

What is clear is that the definition and understanding of these two gambling games has its own responsibility to achieve good results, which of course cannot be separated from strategy, tricks, experience and knowledge about the type of gambling being played.

Casino game and sports betting are different type of gambling games that’s why it’s very hard to compare them head on.

Casino games typically a quick game which is perfect for those who wants to be entertained during their free time since you only need few seconds to place bet on sports betting and you will just need to wait for the match result. It’s very hard to enjoy sports betting alone since it relies on the watching the sports itself and not the gambling part.

So experience wise, Casino games is superior in terms of gambling entertainment experience since sports betting is just a way to place bet on sports but the sports itself is the one that gives you entertainment.

I get your point from this and understand the perspective which you're taking it from, some believed that either of them all could also be called or referred to as gambling, whereas some have been saying, sport betting is not gambling, but what I see here is that we all should understand is the difference between "gambling" as in quote from "casino gambling" or gambling games, which should have the facts that differentiate them from each other, jist as I've explained and as others have termed each on different categories, they are not the same.

Theoretically in sports betting you can make money in the long run if you study and manage your bankroll well, but only a few succeed and it is becoming increasingly difficult. For most people it's like casino games: you can win a bet at any given moment but lose money in the long run. I've sometimes bet on sports betting, but it's not my thing.

I guess it's the question whether which one we prefer.

But there are gamblers here who goes for both, like betting in games in NBA or Football.

And then the slot players themselves, who loves that adrenaline rush and try to see if their luck are going to be on their side. Although there are games like Poker, who you need to have skills as well, like reading your opponents and bluffing and analyze everything.

Skills means the ability too do something excellently. Example is Messy that is skilled in football. It can be something that you learn and know how to do well. But should we apply it in gambling? I will say no because the more you play the games in casino or betting, you will notice that the gambling sites are only setting things up in a way that you will be the one that is losing. So what is the skills in that when their are house edge and unfavorable odds?

Did you think (Sport-Betting) are not a required skill?

In my opinion, analysis can be put as skill, you have the skill to analyze the team you're gonna bet. Sport-bet is almost sector gambling are really at least have some some skill involved like (Poker/BJ). If they found out you are sharp (meaning skill player) casino can back you off.

Mostly limit your gambling bet size to the lowest they can go.

I thought "casino gambling" refers to slots or in-house games like dice, crash, plinko etc, that's why I ask what skills that you will play in those games, because it's all luck based games which doesn't require any skill.

While poker and blackjack, I would say they're called as table games instead of "casino gambling", obviously the one who familiar and experienced in those games have higher chance to win than the new gambler.

I also consider sports betting more challenging because it's a skills-based game. There are plenty of casino games that are fun to play, and the results are instant. However, the more we play for fun, the slimmer our chances of winning become. I know everyone here has played in a casino, and every time we win, we can only say it's because we were lucky.

However, sports betting is quite different. When we win, we gain confidence because we believe our skills are good and that they could lead us to more wins.

For people who have money and don't want to challenge their skills, they can play the casino games such as slot games and wait for the result they don't need to think too much about how they will win the game because the game provides already, to the sports betting you can't make a bet easily without understanding the concept of the game, the players, standings and the possible odds of winning sports betting has a statistical data you can use to predict the winner.  Those games have both risk but seems to be have a higher chance of percentage in the sports betting.

I love sports betting more but I got hooked on casino games too because I was so bored waiting for a match to happen. Slots preferably. I like how high the multipliers that it could give but it could also make you spend too much before it gives out an amount that will surprise you.
On the other hand, I still play original casino games like Plinko, Dice, etc... I play them to increase the wagering amount that could give me a boost in my weekly and monthly bonuses from the online gambling site that I use. Stake.com.

Still, I would prefer sports betting more because I am a fan of different sports like basketball, boxing, UFC, and more. It gives me the thrill of knowing that I have money that is on the line.

Both are gambling but are different types.

That's the beauty of gambling: we have a lot to choose from. Personally, I am more interested in sports betting as I find it challenging. Casino gambling is fun, don't get me wrong, but I believe the people who say that you can never beat a casino because it has a house edge. So, if I gamble in a casino, I'm just doing it for fun. I'm not expecting a lot, as I know the house edge will make me lose in the long run.

Back to sports betting, I only bet on the sports that I know and love, which gives me a lot of entertainment value. It also convinces me that I can win in sports betting as long as I develop my skills in handicapping.

Casino gambling offers us more fun and is a completely different experience compared to sports betting. When you play casino games, like slots, blackjack, poker and so on, you are the one who makes decisions, who is in control of the decision-making but it also involves your luck and fortune. When you do sports betting, you basically fill the ticket and then sit in front of your TV and watch how teams and its players perform. In this case, you absolutely depend on the decision and luck of players and you are in no control of the game.
I personally get more fun from playing casino games but financial-wise, I prefer to make sports betting, I feel much safer this way because I have a hope and confidence that, for example, Manchester City will win against Manchester United and so on.

In my own understanding casino games are games that are played in a casino not in a stadium or a theater but in a casino whether it is online or physical. It could also be live for example there are casinos that offer live poker where you get to play with the dealer.

I agree with your definition of Sports Betting so there is no much thing to say about it.

Yes skill. There are skill based casino games some examples are poker and blackjack which I know of very well. In these games of skill you require the strategic thinking and decision-making skill. You also require card counting skill as well as the skill to outsmart whoever you are playing against.

Betting is still Gambling if this is what you imply. There are cases where some people still argue that sports betting is just like rooting for their favorite team but obviously when there is money involved and you agree to a contract that you win or lose money in a bet means it's gambling.

The house or the bookmaker is just as the same so there isn't really much to tell rather than what the gambler's preference whether he wants to play casino games or sports betting, its up to him.

the definition of both sports betting and casino gambling doesn't have anything to do with the outcome of the game and doesn't influence which of the option a gambler would normally decide to work with. For someone that stays in a region where casino is what's really prevalent, they don't need to know the definition of casino before venturing into it. They just have to know how it works and then proceed to making the decision wether they should play it or not.

People in regions where sports betting is what's dominant on the other hand will most likely prefer it to any form of gambling unless they are being introduced to it. Participating in the forum discussion has gone a long way to exposing what's the nature of casino gambling and in the process someone like me that's brought up in an environment where sports betting is what's mostly dominant has come to learn a lot of things about sports betting in it entirety.

Sports betting is good and casino gambling is also good but the decision to work with whichever one is convenient for you is totally up to you.

I have always known that sports betting involves betting on sports majorly and since you cannot bet on what is past, sports betting only involves live or virtual sports events or future sports events. In sports bet, you bet against the house on two opponents facing each other be it in a football match, boxing, table tennis, etc. If there are no sports events to bet on, gamblers will not be able to place their bets. Sports betting mostly has luck as the factor that is important to win.


Casinos have games that are based on luck and have games too based on skills. Casino also has games that you could play against one another, and then have games that you could play against the house.
What I am not sure of is if Casino's have live games that people can bet on the outcome of two options against the house, almost like sports betting, what do you think?

The first thing that people should know neither slots or sports, both of them aren't a way to make money.

Don't make it complicated, each person has it's own preference which game he want to gamble, as long as you're interested with the game, you can play any game you like including both of them.

Sport Betting simply means, playing on live matches which involves you and a particular player or team against each other.
