Some details I feel I'm missing from the topic which would have assisted with providing you an accurate response but I will try anyway. You mentioned that you want to spend the weekend with your family, it would be nice if you have given us the age range of the family members.
If you mostly male family members except your wife, I'll advice you go with sports betting. You get to watch the game together after you have placed your bet. If you have both genders of kids who are teenagers, bonding will come more from playing in-house games.
Remember that even though you will be betting take a minute or two to speak to them about the dangers of gambling addiction.
First sorry that I did not mention the age and ganders of my family, be that was because I have a little child who is still very much a baby I does not have or know anything fun except for her cartoons, my spouse is not interested in games she rather watch some of those Indian seasonal movies, so on weekends I spend most of my time alone playing some computer games and spending some space in between to spend with my baby for the weekend.
Why I mentioned spending time with family is because I will be in the house all through the weekend so even if I gamble in my room, without any interference since I don't have adults leaving in the same house with me.
Playing in-house games is fun but I may not want to spend too much time on them to the point that I may lose the excitement of the weekend from the football match lineups.
Sport bets vs in-house games which is most enjoyable and has a higher tendency of bringing much winning compared to it possibility of losing?
The odds in casino games are better than those in bookies. I use to play roulette because it is very simple and I like the big odds. I have also played dice sometimes before. Most of my gambling is on football until some months ago that I do not have much time anymore. But with what I noticed when I started playing on casinos, the odds in casino games are better if you choose from the better games. If you have little amount of money to spend, you can go for small amount of money on each stake. That is a sign of responsible gambling.
Ok now I get the what you mean by odds and the it allocation to both sports books and in-house games, but to some point, I am still not clear on your odds analysis and how it relates to in-house vs bookie games at the same time.
