Topic: Which has better odds, lottery, online gambling, or sports betting? - page 3. (Read 932 times)

I would say sport betting has better odds.
It can be profitable if one knows the sport, the statistics of the teams and the performance of these during a season and previous ones, unlike lottery sports is not only about good or bad luck, there is some analysis behind it.
I learnt a bit about it when I spent some time with a cousin of mine who used to bet on American basketball matches and soccer matches between Latin american clubs and sometimes European clubs. Needless to say that if one has no idea about the these things and bets without knowledge, it can translate into bad streaks. 

Sports betting has higher odds so many of us choose it. But to be able to get the victory we want, there are several things we need to pay attention to, especially how we can analyze each team that will compete. This is where we can test our skills; if we can do it, our chances of winning are getting bigger.

Usually, people will choose sports betting that they already know so that it will not give difficulties in choosing the team or players. They will also not take too long to analyze because they may have followed his journey.

To get a huge prize with only a small bet then you're right when choose lottery, although more members focus on the chances of winning than the amount to be won, and the lottery requires no effort other than buying the ticket to enter the lottery

I will prefer choosing lottery in my decision because the common nees about lottery winnings were always a big win and am not saying others cannot get as bigger or even more for a winning but that with lottery is common even though it's now a rare thing to see gamblers winning lottery, secondly i will go for sport bettings as well, the more the risk and the stake you make the more the tendencies of winning big.

I will certainly be choosing sports betting as I was exposed more to it than others. And not only that, I was choosing this because my chances of winning it were a little bit high than the lottery and card games. If fact, winning a bet in sports is not just a matter of luck but we have the chance to bet on the team base on their performance, not by a wild guess like the lottery. However, not all sports I have to bet on, I was just particular about basketball.

Maybe for me my first choice fell into slot gambling because I am a slot lover and have won a lot of money from the games I played. for the second choice I might make a choice in soccer sports betting because I have bet on soccer betting for a long time even though in most of my bets the end result is more losses. Well, back to the principles of each gambler, where the fun can be found, that's where they bet. I may not like the lottery because I have never placed a bet on this type of gambling but it is different from other people who prefer lottery. we have one principle here which is to beat the croupier and get a lot of money.

Of course, it's sports betting, the chances are higher because there's no house edge, as long as you bet on odds that are higher than 2.00 and you win most of the time, most likely you will end up profitable, however, you also need to ensure that you have the skills to manage your bankroll effectively and the ability to control your emotion.

Sports betting is the best of them all, because it's the most fair, I might say.

Sports betting requires a lot of IQ, by solving probabilities and statistics to improve your chances of winning, by analyzing data that you've gather, etc. When you have the patient and good judgment about it, mostly you'll make profits, no doubt. Compare to lottery and online gambling, which relies on luck most of the time and a lot of random number combinations which makes it hard to guess what's the winning tactic.

however, how much chance does someone have to get the jackpot from this lottery bet. in fact, only lucky people get the lucky draw jackpot. however, despite all that.
Uniquely, whoever wins this lottery, can get rich if you get lucky to win the jackpot from this lottery bet.


yes, we agree. bets against gambling operators, it seems quite difficult for us to win even though we have many techniques in this many types of games.


true, sports betting seems to be a bet that requires a lot of knowledge, considerations, information, and all kinds of things related to betting that we can consider when going to a betting session.


well, IMO, basically all of these types of betting games have their own uniqueness with different characteristics.
everyone can choose according to what he likes and the skills he has, like us who like football betting but I am not interested in lottery type betting.

Lottery has the highest rewards but the odds of winning are very low when compared to others.
As long as we are talking about better odds then I think sports betting as well as gambling has better odds.
But we have an edge in sports betting because we have to predict the outcome of the particular event.
Now that is more predictable than outcome of a gambling game.

Yeah, it's like putting your budget on cigarette into it and let that past in for so many years until you finally hit it. Well, for some it had worked that they've waited for so long until they win in the lottery.

But there goes the others too that have been betting on it like for a decade and yet, still unlucky and never had any single with a lottery. It became a habit but the effect depends on them if they're consumed by it and spending a lot on it.

These games are very different from each other as in some games you influence your chance of winning by skill, or with knowledge, and other games give you the same odds of winning no matter what. First of all we have the lottery where you pick 6-9 number, winning here is the hardest of all games. To pick all correct numbers is a 1 in 140 million chance, it is more likely to get hit by a lightning than to win the lottery. Also it doesn’t matter how experienced you are, the chances of winning are always the same, no matter the numbers you pick. The only thing you can do is to pick less likely numbers taken by other players, so that if you win you don’t have to share your winnings with other people. Online gambling is very different from lottery, because you can pick the games you like and according to the winning chances you are looking for. There are a lot of different strategies you can pick to try and beat the casino. No matter what we do though, our chances are winnings not optimal. The casino has it's house edge to make sure they make a profit in the long run. With lottery you can play your whole life and never win one time the jackpot, whereas with gambling in a casino thes chances are much better to win the jackpot one day. And then there is sports betting which is completely different again, this is the only form of gambling where you can consistently beat the bookmaker and other gamblers. In case you have a good understanding of a sport and their leagues, you can develop an excellent hand at picking the winners and make a decent profit with betting. There is no casino with better winning chances than you, it's all about make the right call for each new game.

If you want to make money you should play the lottery to compete with other players at least have enough money to buy lots of lottery tickets

If you want to have fun, you can play gambling like dice rolls with small money, because it is difficult to win the game here, especially against gambling operators, even though we have many techniques.

If you want a fair betting game or looking for profit from betting, you can choose a sports game to bet on, my advice is to make sure you have a lot of experience and know a lot about the sport you want to play for betting.

it all depends on the goals of each, if I want to have fun I just play dice rolls but usually I do it to fill my spare time waiting for the football game to start and I also bet on football, to be honest I'm not too interested in the lottery

No brainer answer: Sports Betting.

You can easily pick whichever event you are interested/knowledgeable in and gauge the abilities and record of the team you want to bet on. By doing so, you minimize the risk of you choosing the wrong bet. Also, you can literally bet on a sure win team and still get 5-20% guaranteed profit easily, and that is something that lottery can match - with online gambling (specifically blackjack) there are chances that you can get this, but it's a coin toss/probability still. Bottomline, you can win a lot and gain a lot in sports betting consistently than you would do on any other form of gambling available out there.

for me the big odds are in sports betting.
because of course before betting we already understand and understand the team that has good playing skills. so the chance of winning bets is greater than the lottery and online gambling.
and I think the small odds in betting are on the lottery. because the level of victory that we will get only depends on luck at that time. but the advantage of the lottery is in the big jackpot, if are lucky

While knowledge can in fact help you take better decisions in a game like sports bets, it could also hurt you if you take the wrong decisions most of the time, I remember reading an experiment once in which people were asked Yes or No questions, the questions were about general culture and if for example monkeys had to answer those same questions then they will get roughly half of the answers right as they will choose the answers at random, however on average people got less than half of the answers right, which means their knowledge instead of helping them actually hurt their chances of performing above what random chance would indicate.

Definitely sports betting. Unlike casino betting where pure luck generates random numbers and you have 0 influence on the outcome, and the lottery just drains my capital slowly and to win the chances are very small or nothing and rely solely on luck.
and be a serious sports bettor researching participating teams, statistics, player performances and changes in teams before placing their bets. Overall, this is a very calculated bet placed for the team and requires a special effort to be constantly updated with all the information related to the sport and the team. And this is very fun and full of challenges and sacrifices that must be made, but it will be cured when watching the match especially if we have the same hobby and can also play it and lose is not too much of a problem because of satisfaction.

I agree, although I would not say that in sports betting there are better odds, it is simply that you can make money in the long run (although it is difficult). Technically speaking, casino games and lottery are games where the bigger the sample of results, the player always loses.

For example in the lottery let's assume a type of lottery that distributes only 50% of the proceeds in prizes. Then the RTP is obviously 50%. What is attractive in this case is the big jackpot. If someone hits it, even if it is very unlikely, it will change his life and he will most likely get much more money than he can spend on lottery in his lifetime, although mathematically if he could hypothetically live thousands or millions of years and continue playing the lottery, the net result would always be a loss and would tend to be a 50% loss on what was wagered.

We have an active gambling discussion section and I would very much love to hear the opinions of experienced gamblers on which has better odds, lottery, online gambling, or sports betting?[/quote]

The lottery is the traditional way to lose money slowly, the chances of winning are minimal and I don't think there's anything to argue about it.
Gambling is a good alternative for those who have money to spend without fear under the chance of making high and quick profits, the only problem is that the player needs to have a lot of self-control and know when to stop.
Sports betting can also be profitable if the player dominates the sport, but even with consistent bets it takes a long time to get good values with low risks.

Lottery ticket price isnt really that expensive and this is why there are people who do really keep on betting on these games considering that hitting up the jackpot would really be a life changing opportunity or

chance and this is what makes you interested on making bets.In the other hand when dealing up with sports betting then this is where people would really be basing up according into their own knowledge.

Not all people are knowledgeable when it comes into their betting and this is where winning chance or odds do really differ on each individual or bettor.
