Topic: Live Sports Betting vs virtual Games Betting (Read 412 times)

Thinking of the possibility, I believe virtual game is more on a game of chance, so it is quite hard to analyze the possible result of the game.  Unlike in live sports betting, virtual games betting rely on a random result so if I want to rely on my sports prediction skill, I would choose live sports betting than the virtual games betting.  This way if I have the right information, I might be able a more chance of winning than virtual game betting.  Besides watching live games is more thrilling as the time slowly unfolds if our prediction is correct.

If you really want to get entertained gambling I think live betting gets you that because in it you get to feel the game and all the adrenaline stimulation that rush I'm you brings about the entertainment when they eventually die down after your win or loss as the case may be. When you go virtual you are playing to make instant Money and overlook the entertainment that comes with gambling.

They both have their associated advantages and disadvantages aswell, some of which can be with how much returns you make on either of them which will definitely aid your preference. Live will definitely delay your expectations and if later turns out a loss you will go empty hand after all the wait but with virtual it's almost instant, secondly you could not be so accurate with live because human tendencies will definitely play out but with virtual you could carefully observe the repetitive algorithm and be lucky with your guess.

For me, I prefer to bet on sports betting, which provides a special experience and pleasure when betting and then watching the live broadcast of the match to see how the club I choose looks and that is the sensation when betting at the same time as watching the broadcast as if my heart is racing, wanting to see the chosen club win. .
Maybe it's different with virtual game betting, maybe some people like this type of betting, but I'm a little distrustful of this type of betting and I think sometimes there is something strange, like it's not interesting or doesn't provide any sensation.
But what I do is not about money but the feeling of satisfaction of winning bets with high odds as if I want to gain experience with every bet I make.

Indeed, virtual games and live betting are often played by sports betting fans, but I don't like betting on physical activities like what happens in virtual sports games, I like to place bets directly like I do 1 (Home/Host), X (Draw), 2 (Away) 1X2 in general.

But for those who like challenges, of course virtual sports games are their choice, as I have seen my friends play, such as Wii Sports, There are several types of games offered there, tennis, golf, boxing and so on, as well as Pokemon Go type games, which is also a virtual sports game.

For me, I prefer to bet in person rather than virtually, as I said above.

The significant difference between sports betting live games and virtual games is striking. It seems like sports betting live games cater to a more mature audience, those who are truly passionate about gambling significant amounts. They appreciate the transparency of the game and can analyze it based on statistics.

On the other hand, it's undeniable that virtual game betting also has a substantial market and is already a billion-dollar industry.

with live matches there are plethora of informations about a match to guide you the gambler in making better decisions (predictions) and you have all the times it take to make calculative bets  unlike virtual games that you are left with just 2-4 minutes to make predictions about their outcomes putting the gambler under pressure (what is the feasibility in you make calculative decisions to get a win playing under pressure) and this is the part the house has a hedge over the gambler aside from the games being programmed to play in a controlled way.

I'll always choose live matches over virtual games betting any day.

Get this, with live matches, you know for certain that games are not affected by any external forces in any way. If there is, people would have notice easily and the result of the match might even get nullified by the games board and the gambling platforms. Whereas in virtual games, you don't know how they come up with such an outcome. They use algorithms and several calculations that might be rigged for all you know, and you won't have any say to the outcome as they'll reinforce that nothing is wrong with how they conduct these virtual games.

Also in a live game, you will feel the thrill and actually enjoy the games. You have someone to root for, and know that everything that's happening in front of you is true and not just some simulations on a screen governed by calculations and algorithms that you probably know nothing about.

Playing a live game will really feel when we almost lose but luck comes to us so we can win the game we are playing, but it will be very different if we play virtual betting then what we are fighting against is an algorithm and it is very difficult to win except luck. on our side and we can win. However, each person certainly has a different way of enjoying the bets they play and if there is no place around them to be able to play live bets, of course they have to choose to bet virtually.

I think most of us would choose live sports betting than virtual games betting. First, the excitement and the thrill that lives sports betting is incomparable, because it makes us feel as if we are involved in the game. And you can clearly watch and observe the real action going on. Unlike in virtual games betting, the games are programmed, and we can say that it is somehow controlled and manipulated by the developers, thus making it less enjoyable. However, one of the advantages of virtual games is its accessibility. Because you can literally play anywhere and anytime without compromising your time for it is just one click away. Also, sometimes I feel like virtual games are becoming repetitive and there is nothing new about it. Unlike when you are watching it in live action, you cannot expect anything because everything can happen. But again, both are good. It's just a matter of which is more enjoyable, and which is more convenient.

I certainly prefer sports betting, but I confess that this is each person's personal taste and can vary greatly from one to another.
My preference in sports games is because I know much more about football than any other virtual game, so I have more confidence when betting on them, in addition to being a sport that I follow daily, so sports betting ends up being a "complement" for me. of something that is pleasurable to me.

However, I see that betting on virtual games is growing a lot with each passing day and I respect anyone who bets on them, if it is a fair way of making money and enjoyable too, there is nothing fairer than betting on them.

This highly depends on your interest. There are those who are more inclined to virtual games rather than actual games. If they are to gamble, they will probably be betting on those virtual games rather than on actual matches. But for me, I'm not a fan of these virtual matches. So I prefer actual sports matches not just to bet on but also to watch.

The disadvantage of actual sports matches is that they are scheduled. Your favorite sports matches don't happen all the time. Virtual games can be more easily available, but I don't find it fun. There's no thrill involved. They're more random unlike actual sports games.

I'll always pick live betting over virtual games because those simulated sports can't replicate the experience I get in actual sports betting. I do agree that live betting is unpredictable if you're going to bet on every live match. The same can be said with virtual games when they rely more on luck due to how it works, so you can't back your bets with information compared to live betting. Live betting doesn't give me constant wins but it's still worth using when it gives you the option to jump in on matches you've missed and sometimes you could get good value bets through live odds if you learn how to wait.

None of these two is ever an easy kind of game to play, but for me, I always most times play live games more than virtual bets which is controlled by an algorithm, making virtual game betting not an easy kind of betting for anyone to go for since it's outcome are always unpredictable, unlike in the case of real-time live games, whereby if the match has gone far, you are likely to have a clue on which team likely to win and place a bet in their favour, and most times likely to win.

The Live sports bet will be the desired option by the most of the gambler,Because it had more accurate results based on our sports knowledge.The reason for the gambler to choose the sports bet was easy to bet in the game by the sports knowledge.This game can be used as the passive income for the gambler based on the knowledge of the gambler in the certain sports.This sports bet was not suitable for the gambler with less sports knowledge or no sports knowledge in the desired game.The patience was most important thing in the gambling and specially for the sports bet.Because the player game can be changed on the particular day.

This is actually depends on the situation, I do live betting if I was not able to place a bet before the game start and also do the virtual games betting since its also entertaining. I prefer both and have no specific preference with regards to this. Having your knowledge about this two can be a big help for you when it comes to decision making. Betting can be more fun if you are betting with your favorite sports, just make sure to stay responsible.

I won't even try virtual gaming since I've got full conviction about it... It's totally programmed and controlled by the casinos - atleast in way that's fairly profitable to 'em ... I sometimes also think that makes them to be renewing an update on everyday games or so .. cus anyone could easily follow-up the result series..
I prefer sports as livegames over there are played by humans and are likely not to get manipulated.. atleast the major league games are not .. I'm aware alot of minority Leagus do so though.

End up depending on how far you know how to play both the usual sports betting and virtual games. If you don't know the other one, of course, you will select the other as your own preference.  If a bettor knows how that game works, both will be entertaining and amusing to them.

Since I'm not a fan of virtual game betting, therefore my preference will be the usual sports betting.

It's just that I have been doing sports betting for a long now compared to virtual games betting that I rarely touched, simple as that.

In-play bet is what does it for me. With in play bets you get to learn about the team and players well. Which helps to build some skills and analytical abilities that is transferrable to other in-play games. It even makes you to be current with the football. Virtual games is total a waste of a money and time of course. There is real still being built here. This is what most of those gambling addicts struggle to quit.

Just so I'm clear, when you say live sports betting you mean betting on a sports game that is already on right? Like the game is live? If that's what you mean then I prefer virtual betting.

Not that virtual betting is ultimately better, but in live betting, the odds are usually smaller. If the odds are big then it's very difficult for that option to play. For instance, betting on a football team that is already losing 2-0 to win looks more difficult to happen. I know there are many options to play but you have to be watching the game to make the right bets.
While virtual better can make you lose more money, it's better if you're lucky.
If I gamble and I've not won in virtual betting after 3 straight bets, I end it for that period.
Virtual betting needs much more discipline or you could empty your account.

I never understood virtual betting. Why would you bet on matches that aren't real, just calculated by algorithm? If you want that, you can simply play dice - fast and easy and at least you know what you're betting on. With virtual games it feels like you should know why you lost your money, but really you don't.
Live events are real, there's nothing better. Let's say you bet on boxing - you know why the player lost. You saw him making mistakes, getting outpunched, bleeding. You know you lost the money because the fighter really lost the match and it's on his record forever.
I also like watching these events and feeling the adrenaline of the last round coming or the last minute of the game. It's great especially when you know you're winning and there's so little time left before it confirms.

When it comes to thrill then hands down to live sports betting specially if you do really make out some bets to support your favorite team on which it would really be giving out that kind of feeling which it isnt something that you could really be able to feel when you do go virtual.Just like been said with other posters or members above then the results are already determined,whereas if we do speak about those live then it would really be that totally random on which considering that there would really be  factors that could really affect out overall outcome of a certain game on which it is really that making too unpredictable since in the first place.

Dont know if there would really be some recognizable numbers who do love on betting on virtual on which as far as i do understand and in comparison then it would
be understandable that there would be lots who would be preferring on betting on live on which results or outcomes would really be totally random and cant be known.
Also its always been entertaining to watch it live rather than into those predetermined kind of bets.

It's important to analyze games and feel better about a team before staking money. But, deep down our mind, we are aware that our analysis ain't certain. Those criterion may not change the outcome of a match. Playing the best players or teams in the world, to win, doesn't define football gambling. In sports gambling we tend to win big. That's why people play games with good odd. If the lower team, as they may be called, eventually wins. People who gambled them to win would get much profits. Compared to the bettors of the high advantage team. Regarding virtual games, it's also common to lose games, like it's with real football. The difference is the time intervals. The real soccer games provides weekly interval, while the virtual game can consume a player's money everyday. Although, it's certain that a certain team would win a match, but things can change. That's why people still lose in the real event. Because it can't be predicted. The methods of predicting it is just based on probabilities. Betting companies make huge profits off these mistakes of football gamblers of going with the best analyzed team. Some weekends can be for the small teams to win. Imagine how profitable the week would be for betting companies. A lot of people would lose their money. Meaning that the betting companies are also aware of gamblers that follow analysis. They may also get prepared for such players in unique ways. Just to maximize profits. Appologies for your first surprise in e-sports, that would have felt like a warm hug that can't be forgotten. If they control the virtual game from their back end. What rumor says about betting companies controlling football teams, could be true.

These virtual games are being programmed by the site owners to their own advantage as they can easily manipulate the outcome of an event to their favour whereas in live betting you are seeing a physical challenge by both teams so whatever the outcome of the game is you will be convinced because it is actually real and you've watched how the game is being played so you won't have any doubt at all.

If it is choosing which would be more thrilling between live betting and virtual betting, then answer should be obvious. Both would cost you money if you would be picking a losing bet but atleast watching it personally would allow you to enjoy the game at least. But to some who do not have that time to go visit and watch the game of course they would find it more convenient to bet online and just watch the game virtually. Eitherway would be good especially if you’re really into sportsbetting. There are just times wherein you would still take a risky bet online more than with live sportsbetting.

I will choose the live bet over the virtuals because that gives me fascinating experience and indepth satisfaction. I am most moved by live actions not mere virtuals. Live action gives me a good edge over my games and teams when to know better the performance of players of your team. As a gambler obtaining information on performance is a priority so therefore one should be able to prioritise bets that gives them advantage to winning and as such virtua bet plays that role and is most likely the best to be chosen.

Virtual Game is a big no for me since there’s no way to verify whether the match is fair since the game is predetermined according to program set to it while live sports betting gives you the real fun of betting since you watch it live and there’s a lot of contributing factor that can affect the result which makes it more fun.

Virtual Sports are for those gamblers that have nothing to watch or still waiting for their main sports to play. I consider it as a temporary game.

I believe what the OP is inquiring about is real sports betting, where actual individuals engage in betting on real-world sporting events, as opposed to virtual betting, which likely involves characters within a particular video game rather than real people.

In real sports betting, there are various styles of betting. You can place pre-game bets, predicting the outcome of the game before it starts, and there's also live betting, where you can wager while the game is in progress. In live betting, the odds fluctuate much like the stock market, providing an exciting dynamic to the betting experience.

I can't relate to the term virtual sports, Do you mean esports?

Esports is one of the evolving industry but I don't find it amusing to bet on for whatever reasons and the adrenaline involve in live games is far intense compared to a game that is played virtually unless you are being a part of the gameplay.

The thing is to stick with the one that's giving you your maximum win, whether virtual or sport betting. In virtual sports, some of the past games are repeated which makes it advantageous to persons who have the time and energy to study and bet on them. Personally, I just don't like virtual sports because It could run one dry completely within a twinkle of an eye. It is also time consuming unlike sport betting where I can place my bet and channel my attention to something else except when I'm playing inplays.

Of course I prefer live sports betting. If I want something virtual, then I’d rather play dice - it’s faster and the house edge is less than in betting. Plus, no matter how confident we are in the honesty of the virtual game, the purely psychological reliability and honesty of the real game looks more justified. And if we are talking about emotions, then virtual games do not evoke them in me (if we discard my emotions regarding the money that I risk) while sporting events evoke emotions in themselves.

In my case, I only place bets on games in which I can obtain information about the team, whether there are injured players in the team and who they are, whether the team coach is in good health or not, whether he will be present on the day of the game or not. . what were the results of the last 5 games of the two teams. how was the H2H between these two teams. When you have all this data and on the day of the game we see the squad that will play, then it becomes easier to decide who we will bet on. Now betting on games where you can't have all this data, I honestly don't see this as a good thing, on the contrary I see it as a clear way for people to lose money

I remember that on my first day of sports betting I didn't know that e-sport was anything different from normal football games, so I put money on a team like Manchester United for example and I didn't know that it wasn't the same Manchester United in real life , so I lost the bet. It was only when I started investigating and discovered this difference that I started betting on real team games and today I see that there is a big difference. and I don't put money into a game that I haven't reviewed first

Gamblers will give you different reasons why they prefer the types of sports betting. I don't derive any fun from virtual betting. I prefer the thrilling and exciting experience that sport live sports bring. Most local betting houses in my locality usually show live games and many fans from different clubs come to to watch these matches. If you want to enjoy the best analysis and prediction, you need to be in the betting shop. I usually derive so much fun from these gatherings. Virtual betting will make you lose your money fast which could also lead to chasing losses. I prefer the slow and steady nature of live betting.

If you prefer to see the scores to be able to predict how the game ends, yes live betting would be better. I did some of these stuff in soccer but it still is no guaranteed you win when you see the score is 1-0.

Just recently I did it with NBA as it's the new season, GSW vs Phoenix Suns to which I thought GSW would win because they recovered fast in the half of the game but they tend to lose still. So if one bets on the game while it's live, it sure is no guaranteed and the bookies also won't allow us to bet at the last minute.

I think every gambling game that gamblers like will give a thrilling feeling to those who play it and maybe other people will not have the same feeling as gamblers who like that game. I prefer sports betting to virtual games, especially since I don't really know how to play them. But other people who like virtual games might be more enthusiastic about participating in virtual games, which is different from what we feel. But playing slots can also excite us because we are just waiting for the results that will determine whether we win or lose.

I just can't help but prefer live sports betting over virtual games. There's something about the authenticity of real-life sports that I like. When people place my bets on a live game, they know they are dealing with genuine athletes, unpredictable weather, and the thrill of not knowing how it'll all play out.
Virtual games betting on the other hand often leave me feeling skeptical. It's like playing a video game where I suspect the system might be rigged against me. That element of doubt takes away the fun I think especially if players want to experience the genuine excitement of a live match, where every move and play is real, not influenced by hidden algorithms or unfair advantages.
It’s just me but I think it's all about the raw, unfiltered excitement of sports betting, where the stakes are high, and the thrill is real.

I don't gamble anymore for profit unlike when I thought that gambling was for making profit. U gamble to entertain myself and have dun at the same time, and this is why I prefer sport bet with all that thrill when watching it. You can also gather some information based on history and the present performance of the players and the club to use and place your bet. Virtual sport is based on house edge, which makes me see it not cool with me. I watch, I enjoy the thrill from the game and I cash out at the same time, isn't it fun enough.

I suppose you could try creating a poll to see what people here would choose. Also, for those who do bet on virtual sports, it might be helpful to mention the specific virtual sports game they prefer. As we can see, sports betting is the dominant choice, which is not surprising given its popularity.

Virtual sports betting is typically a blind betting pattern of gambling that's how I view it to be, you don't have a clue on how to analyze the team's strength and weakness you're doing a complete guess work that's controlled by computers detecting outcomes of the virtual matches that's the reasons I scarcely play virtual sports bets.

But in real live sports betting you can well be informed about the two opponents forms, their strengths and ability to win a match is not determined by a computer machine but by their current form and strength and if as a gambler you're able to get your analysis right your chances of winning a bet is great in live sports then your luck comes next. Main inference why gamblers make use of the virtual betting is mainly because it doesn't take more than about 5 minutes to get results in place and many gamblers are known for instant pay attraction games.

Since I am not so familiar with virtual betting, I made some research regarding that one before I post my commnet.

So here's what I found.

https://www.wsn.com/blog/how-does-virtual-sports-betting-work/


Most of the sports listed also have sports betting odds, like the real ones. So, it wouldn't make sense for me to bet on a game like virtual basketball when there's an ongoing NBA season, which is my favorite. For me, it's sports betting.

And aside from the ability to analyze the players on the team and what the level of their performance are in live games,  live game still offers the best option if you know how to follow up with the game properly you will end up winning higher than you lose,  unless if you get too greedy to allow your game to play out 100% that way you are likely not going to win the bet at the end since on live event a lot of things happened almost toward the extra time and that is something we have to consider all the time.

If I may advise anyone,  it so better to always use the cash-out feature available to be able to take home something instead of risking losing everything trying to reach the very end of the game.

Well everyone is entitled to his or her own view of the one that's more beneficial to them but for me I prefer betting on live events to playing online virtual games because virtual games consumes lots of money within a short interval and sometimes as you keep losing on vituals the more you keep on playing and before you know it you must have exhausted all the money in your pocket. Even if people records winning on virtual, the rate is very few.

Online live sports betting gives you and edge especially when a strong team is losing to a weaker opponent you will see the odds go high and one can still gamble the stronger side to win with the increments of their odds and before you know it the stronger side equalizes the match and wins. Again you spend less on live events as until the end of the event you may not be able to stake again. There is also possibility for you to judge the outcome of the match while the match is live as their are most cases when we judge a match base on odds but as soon as the match starts you see that the opponent are performing better so you can decide to give the odd to the best performing team while the match is still on.

In sport gambling, I prefer in-play most. In-play is betting on a real match, not virtual matches or betting. In bookies, I prefer reality and I gamble using virtual matches at times and which is very rear. In in-play matches, the result csn be very fast and it would have been settled during the match. Although virtual betting has the advantage of not taking more than 30 seconds and some gamblers like that. If you go to betting agent, you will see many people in the place betting on virtual matches for over many minutes to some many hours. But I prefer real sport betting.

I've heard this too from a friend. He also had success with virtual sports games and other virtual games and he even invited me to test it out but the problem is I don't have the appetite for the said games unlike how it is from watching basketball which answers the last question of OP. Yes, basketball still makes my heart race when my bet is near winning or on the brink of losing. I prefer the NBA but I also watch other leagues like the FIBA last time and the Olympics this upcoming year.
I had success with live sports betting too but the only problem is the time. It's a 12 hours difference so sometimes I am still sound asleep while the games are already starting. Live betting can be profitable but still you must have the love for the game for a higher success of winning your bets.

I'm more into real action, so I prefer sports betting between the two. However, I think it varies from gambler to gambler since we don't all have the same preferences. I also believe that both are popular, but obviously, sports betting is the bigger industry here, and it was popularized before virtual games betting. Maybe that's why I remain loyal to sports betting because I learned it first, and personally, I love sports, so it really adds an enticing element to gambling while watching your favorite sports.

Regarding profitability, I wouldn't say much because I have nothing to boast about. I'm just a regular gambler, content with small gains, and can easily accept losses.

I don't think they are two comparable game modes.
with a live match you can always evaluate the status of the players on the field, there is a history, in short ... lots of information and data that helps you in your bet evaluation.
A virtual game is practically already determined and you never have these reference points that you would find in a live game... I See this as a cruciale differenze that really matters!

I've been hearing a lot of debates about this recently, both online and in my local area, and it got me thinking. When it comes to sports betting, do you prefer the thrill of live sports events or the calculated nature of virtual games?

Personally, I've realized that I have a higher success rate with virtual games, but live sports events offer that adrenaline rush that's hard to beat. It's a common dilemma for many bettors. I usually love betting on virtual games giving me this sure vibe that my odds might play out. Live sports can be unpredictable, and if you don't place the right bets, you might go home empty-handed.

So, I'm throwing the question out to all of you. Which type of sports betting gets your heart racing and your wallets fattening up? Do you have a preference, and if so, why?
