Sportsbetting can be the most fairest one if you play through the least cheated regions. It only takes a knowledge and experience to get accurate results in sports betting. You need to watch matches and you should be familiar with teams, their managers (when they are goalkeeper is injured etc.) to be on point. I don't know much people making money through other options but I know at least 2-3 people who are making good money just by sports betting.

I understand why a lot here are choosing sports betting. It's certainly because you can choose which team will probably win. You have a more or less reliable basis. In other words, you are not betting blindly. You can actually make an informed bet.
However, since we are talking here of odds, I don't agree that sports betting has the best. I think casino games like dice and the like are better. Most often, the house edge will only be around 1%.
In a sports match that is considered 50:50, you can have odds like 1.85 or at most 1.90. Or let's just say there is 1.95. Again, that's for a match that is 50:50. In other words, you can pick either team with those equal odds. In a dice game, on the other hand, if you choose a 50% winning chance, you can actually have a payout of as high as 1.98 or even 1.99.
That, to me, is a proof that online games are the best, at least in terms of odds.

I agree with the previous replies that point to sports gambling as the best, but it's not so much an issue of odds, as it seems that EV+ bets can be made. I don't particularly bet on sports, but I've seen interviews of people who do and it seems it was easier to win years ago (as in everything), especially on secondary sports. The bookmakers realising they had winning players on those players paid attention and adjusted the odds, although it is still possible to win.
I particularly like the lottery even if the odds are worse, and I explain: even with casino games I prefer to bet on games where the probability of winning is low but if I win a prize is high. If I play roulette I prefer to bet on a single number rather than on red and black. So, the lottery would be the maximum exponent of this example, although it lacks the entertainment part, for that I prefer casino games.

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?
I also have to pick sports betting out of the three, because in sports betting you have the choice to pick a specific match and market that you find worth betting on, and sometimes the odds that the sportsbook offers could be less accurate than what you expect. Overall, there are more factors in sports betting that can allow gamblers to get better odds of winning compared to the other two even though sportsbooks slowly put more juice in their lines it's still the better choice since you can avoid unnecessary losses.

Sports gambling. You still have some manner of control after all since it's not exactly luck, but rather the judgment of people, skill, etc., and the amount of information you have We can say that the luck involved in it is rather minimal (but it's still there), assuming you were playing properly though, and, well, not full-on "gamble".
Gambling would be next, it's pretty reliant on luck but there are a lot of various types and varieties, each with different rules, so I'd consider it better than lottery. The lottery is pretty much the simplest and most luck-reliant type, I can still consider certain gambling games to require some judgment skills (like poker, and blackjack), but lottery imo is just full-on luck.

I think the gambling type with a greater chance of winning might be sports betting because analyzing the team that will compete and finding the team that has the chance to win can also give us a chance to win.
But it will also depend on the situation when the match takes place because there are matches that can reverse the direction of the situation so that the sports bets that we place will not win. And that's when the luck we hope for will leave us and we will not be able to win.

Selection will always depends on people favorite games to bet. But I can say that sportsbetting will give you huge chance of winning because we all need is familiarity with the sports we are betting on. If we know which team is so strong and which is not then we can use this knowledge to bet on which of them have higher advantage. Although this will not guarantee us to win always but familiarity will always matter on this.
Statistically yes, because if you know that this team is stronger than the other, that can be added to your odds of winning, but this still depends on people, as some will say that it takes long to gain profit from it or not huge profits than others, unlike other gambling games where they can interact while betting. The lottery has the lowest odds for me but the highest prize of all, but you will only be relying on your luck to win, you will be betting just small amount of money but a high prize if you win.

Lottery is basically the simplest form of gambling. You can easily calculate the probabilities of winning since the rules are very clear and the process of selecting the numbers is random.
Online gambling is basically the same as offline casinos. This means that every game will have different odds. Again, the rules are clear, but there are many, many different types of games with different rules, so calculating the odds might be a bit more difficult. The process of each game is still random though, but done in many different ways.
Sports betting is similar to online gambling in the sense that there are many different games and each one has different odds. The main difference here is that, although the output of the matches are considered random, some people might have extra information about what's going on in the teams, which makes the process not completely random for some people.
For example, let's say there's a match between two teams, but you went out partying the previous night with all the players of one team and they were all drinking alcohol all night.... you have information that might affect the results of the game that the general public might not know, therefore you might be in a better position there.

Because I am a sports lover, I think Sports betting is the best among them.
Although there is no certainty regarding the percentage to win, sports betting seems a bit easier as long as we know the sports field well.
Especially for people who have favorite sports, betting on sports will be a fun activity. And it won't be difficult to determine the bet since they are familiar with the sports matches, the teams, and the rules.
Lottery is the hardest one.
In my opinion, the chance to win in Lottery is very small. We purely rely on luck playing the Lottery.

Sportsbetting is the best, if you are good. Pretty bad if you're bad.
(....)
For me, it will still depend based on the teams or players or sides you are betting on sports betting. There is some game on sports betting that the odds are really not better and not worth betting on.(....)
All of these are considered gambling, but for me, we can adjust the risk here, because let's say you are in the lottery, low risk but a high reward (difficult to win). Compared with sports betting which most of the time there are 2 players and you only select one winner but low reward (based on odds).
November 01, 2022, 07:12:43 PM
Just like everyone of us has their own opinion when it comes to decision making on what we really prefer based on the results we have been getting since we started gambling. I think sportbets could be more profitable and easier without you having to learn a whole strategy for a long time before you can start making winnings. Sportbets are mostly based on luck and lute knowledge about what we are betting on. Even the house can earn up losing in sport betting that is why many gamblers we always prefer it because of how easy it could be to make winnings.

Lottery – a game with established rules where players buy tickets for a chance to win cash or other merchandise prizes.
This is the gambling form that is hard to hit but you only have to win once to become rich, I know a lot of people who's been betting for so many years and the best that they can come out is the second prize or 5/6 numbers yes we do have second prize here in our country if you miss one number.Quote
Gambling – a game or mutual bet according to established rules whose participants, seeking monetary gain, voluntarily risk losing an amount they have paid in, and where winning or losing is determined by chance, by some event, or by the result of a sport competition.
This is better than the lottery but your chances depend so much on luck and you are against a house edge and the house edge doesn't want you to win every day, people love to play games of chance playing these games is easy and offer excitementQuote
Sports betting - Sports betting is the activity of predicting sports results and placing a wager on the outcome.
If you are serious about winning in gambling, and you have the time and the effort to spare you have good odds to win in sports betting I have seen a lot of people winning huge amounts of money on sports betting.

It's a case-to-case basis I guess. I would pick sportsbetting among the three. I feel like I have the best odds since I can follow the updates on a certain team and I understand the rules of the game. That just makes betting a lot easier compared to lottery and casinos where winning is based on luck for the most part.
November 01, 2022, 06:56:00 PM
Sports of course because you know from the start how good a player or a team is before you decide to bet on them. You have whole history available online. It's possible to bet on a rematch where you see how the first one went and if there's a chance this one is different. You also get predictions from other people who know the sport well and can help you decide. Sports betting not only gives you the highest chances of winning but is easy.
Lottery is the worst because in dice you can have 49% chance to win so it's almost half but to win a lottery you usually have less than 1%.

i would say the same. but that is, if you truly know the sports and the athletes very well. you will have a very good chance of winning your bets if you practically live and breath a particular sports.
but when it comes to luck-based games like those casino classics, the odds of winning depends on your luck as well as the lottery. but as you said, lottery is the worst as the chance of winning is really small as compared to like dice.
if you are into sports, better go into sports betting rather than these luck-based games.

All of them are a type of gambling honestly.
Gambling[/url] – a game or mutual bet according to established rules whose participants, seeking monetary gain, voluntarily risk losing an amount they have paid in, and where winning or losing is determined by chance, by some event, or by the result of a sport competition.
In gambling, players compete individually against the gambling operator. It is in the gambling operator’s interest to win against the players.
I guess that you're pertaining to mutual betting instead of using the word gambling itself on the first description. And these two descriptions that you've given about gambling to me isn't really the meaning of it. The latter part is what usually we do and betting against the casino, the house. In gambling, players compete individually against the gambling operator. It is in the gambling operator’s interest to win against the players.

This is an idea? Seems like a rather inane, poorly worded and obvious question really. Sports betting is a form of gambling not a separate category by itself. You probably meant casino games which tend to have pre-defined odds or if it's something like live roulette it has a natural tilt towards the house. Sports betting comes in all forms - from the barely profitable x1.01 odds to infinitely high risk and chance of winning, that could really rival the payout of some lotteries. Casino games will tend to have natural ceilings related to max bet size and the casino is much more likely to take a profit over time. Lotteries are tiny chances of winning but usually counter weighed by high payout amounts.

It is not only about better odds, but also the one you can well analysed, the reason I prefer sport betting. Let me tell you the truth, no matter which one you choose, know that the higher the odd, the higher chance of losing, but going for odds lower than 1.25 to me is stupidity because there is still chance of losing.Some people play to have just fun, they do not even care about the odds. As for me, I prefer sport.
As to your question, it is not easy to answer, even different sites have different odds. Just go for the one you like and have fun with the amount of money you can afford to lose.

In my own opinion, sport betting odds are more favorable to gamblers compared to the other gambling listed above. The winning probability are very high when are familiar with teams in action and its very easy to learn and understand. Although sport betting has its own forms of manipulation like match fixing and some others but it's reliability is more certain than the other two.
