Sports betting too, at least we can controll our mind, don't like card games or slots, we can't controll the result, sports betting is predictable so that we can win money in long term if we do lots of research on matches.
Besides, I like blackjack and poker, especially texas holdem.
but there is always some controlled matches ( fixing match ) in sports betting too.
possibility to be rigged always exist, even in the sportsbook.
sometimes the exact score could be controlled, mafia was everywhere to make money.
so gambling is gambling, everything could be happened whatever the gambling type.
Yes and Im aware of that. But it rarely happen and sometimes that mafia doings occurs only on a big event like season ending , playoffs , championship on a basketball, highest paid boxing , big names in championship of football , soccer , tennis etc.
actually yes , in my country we used to have many fixed matches
here there was no mafia , but with 10K$ maximum clubs can buy the match from their opponents
