Sports betting is a unique activity where your knowledge can change the odds. Sports betting uses insights, unlike casino games, which are random. Does this knowledge genuinely alter our risk perception? Many overestimate their understanding, leading to overconfidence. Sports are unpredictable, so even the best bet can lose. Let's examine your financial point. The idea of 'having funds to accomplish anything' is attractive yet perilous. Disposable money and needed funds must be distinguished. If betting becomes 'how much can I afford to lose?' it can be harmful. Remember that gambling is fun, not a financial strategy. Could the real skill be self-control and financial discipline as well as game knowledge? Excitement and responsibility may be the winning combination!

So the answer will pretty much same right that do sport betting carry the own risk, But what do you think about my previous post about score cheating that made by player and referee do you think that is possible in the real life.

Cheating is normal in sports betting, they called them sports rigging. However, that shouldn't disappoint you if you are a true sports bettor as your goal is just to win and you'll need to consider all that factors. There are lots of speculation on different sports that it's rigged, but if you believe them and that would kill your excitement, better yet stop gambling the soonest.

The sole reason for being involved in sports betting is to make money but there are a lot of hurdles you must encounter before making the money and that's if luck shines on you but if it doesn't those hurdles will kill you unless you decide to quit. Truth is bitter but it must be said, that gambling benefits only 5% of the people who engage in it.

More persons are into sports betting because they easily interface with those sports and it is better and safer to bet on sports you know even though it doesn't guarantee winning it makes you to keep shouting every day "cut one, dying minute, I go soon win, Liverpool cut me, Salah no fit score etc"

With hundreds or probably thousands of games online, I'd like to ask why would you choose sports betting?

I believe that sports betting has become more popular here in the forum since most gambling sites, our reputable gambling sites are already sports betting on the menu. So, out of curiosity ( don't want to assume), what are the reasons why you fall in love with sports betting?

Moreover, I like to know if you really believe you can win in sports betting in the long run, or you just really think no chance because every game can be win by luck, sports betting is not exemption.

In sports betting it's not solely about chance:there is a significant emphasis on analyzing team performance player stats and others factors. While there is still an element of chance
it's more subdued compared to other forms of betting. This engagement with analysis and reduced reliance on chance is what who make sports betting apart

Because of the sports itself. I knew gambling way before due to my friends but not sports betting. Came across it one day and had some interest because a few of the sports I played/watched were there. It wasn't after a year or two after that I started betting on them since I started watching some of the professional tournaments every season avidly. It was really enjoyable since it wasn't just the thrill of the game itself, I was forced to pick between the two teams and root for one of them whole heartedly because of the damn bet I did. It was really enjoyable.

There is a huge difference between the types of gambling, taking into account the interests and skills of the player who chooses where to play for money. Batting is a type of gambling where a lot depends on knowledge about sports or esports, the characteristics of teams and their preparation for matches. Only real sports fans, such as football, can have such knowledge. And of course they have an advantage over those who don't know anything about big sports.

When it comes to odds and chances on making money or to be profitable then sports betting is somewhat does have the edge, the main issue on here is that most gamblers arent that knowledgeable +
they arent someone who do have that kind of very long patience on waiting up for their bet results and much preferred on having that kind of instant results on which it could be only possible with those
casino based type of games.

That's correct. Not everyone love 2 or 3 types of sports, mostly just one. So when it becomes boring after the game they tend to play casino games because there is nothing to watch anymore.
so successful sports betting is a hard task because you will need to have knowledge about different sports to keep it going.
I have 3 types of sports that I bet for and yet there still comes a day that I have nothinng to bet for. Or just the time of the day that there is no event happening.
So, even though we want to just keep it in sports betting there will always be chances that we will end up using the profits in casino games because it already there. I guess that also one part of the strategy by gambling sites.

I would like to agree with you that the risk is much lower in sports betting rather than slots or others games. But it is also true that if there is no good knowledge about sports, the risk becomes more. But I think the biggest reason is that sports betting creates a different kind of excitement in addition to watching sports that I think is more enjoyable than other games.

It is true that when we have a good understanding of a team that we are going to place a bet on, of course we will be very confident that we can win the bet, but it is very different from slot games where everyone only hopes for profits to be able to win the game without luck, it is very impossible. win in slots
Choosing to bet on sports betting will indeed make us more enthusiastic about watching the match we place a bet on and if the team we place a bet on will certainly be very enjoyable too.

That’s why there’s a big chance to make money here compare to other gambling games as you do analyze the odds and most of the time you are already familiar with the team and sports itself. Sports betting are becoming more popular as the sports continues to hit the main stream and we know that there’s a lot of sport enthusiast here that becoming a bettor too.

Somewhat it do always fall on the matter of your choice because interest and financial capacity would be always the issue on here but you could actually

I personally prefer betting on sports to playing other games like slot or in-house casino games because, sports betting is a knowledge based game while slot games are purely based on luck. This simply means that, if as a gambler, you are the type who knows very much about sports, you are very current in the game, you can easily and correctly predict the out come of a match due to your vast knowledge of the teams or club, then it is very possible that you will do very well in sports betting, much better than you would have done if you only played slot or casino games.

We can liken or compare this to driving a Manual transmission car and automatic transmission car, in the Manual transmission car, the driver have some control over how the car functions in terms of shifting gears, this is also the same with and in sports betting, you have some control over your possibilities of winning more than you lose, unlike slot and casino games where you have absolutely no control but have to totally depend on luck.

I truly believe in sports betting because your sports experience can contribute to winning. By closely watching many matches, you can assess the probabilities of winning and understand the players' abilities , In importants matches even a small team can make a difference, so being aware of that is important for your judgment on betting. If you aim for substantial gains, consider betting on the underdog, but only when the team is in good form. And keep in mind that chance plays a role, although it's infrequent.

Important matches in champions league for example, there are hundreds if chances to make some money beside having more fun support the team that will generate you profit, contrary of slots of other gambling games where it’s mostly based on luck.

Maybe because we can place small money bets and can bet on many games that we know so we can have a bigger chance of winning than slot games. Apart from that, slot games can make us forget ourselves because we are having fun and can also make us deposit more money if we lose. But in sports betting, we deposit once and bet with a small amount of money and wait for the match results to be completed. If we win in some games, the amount of money will increase and we can enjoy it. But whether it's slot games or sports betting, you have to really pay attention to the amount of money you bet because you need to remember to control yourself, you will only use a lot of money to place bets.

Comparing the two very different types of bets, slot games are a type of casino game that really depends on luck and are very suitable for having fun, but if you want to get small profits with lower risks and predictable chances of winning, we definitely choose sports betting which is more relaxed and don't have to have a big budget to bet and that allows us to enjoy sports betting because we can bet with small amounts but can get big wins as long as the multi bet we choose can win and with just a small betting amount we can get a chance to win rather than having to predict lottery is better to bet on sports betting.

Not good idea to bet on that since this can't give you a satisfying feeling since you are not fully aware on what's happening on the sport you are betting on since you are not familiar with it. Although some may bet on this but for sure they are just waiting for luck to come. But if we erase that on our mind and only bet on the sport we are truly familiar for sure we could enjoy this even if we lose since we are still satisfied with the result especially if our team give a good fight until the end of game.

That's the reason I don't bet on sports that I don't know since its not just betting for me since Its double celebration especially if my team won on opposing team.

however, some gamblers bet like that. such as betting on more popular teams. or just choose the Odds with the best chance of winning. I used to do it often too. after placing several bets on the matches I was interested in. Sometimes there are random matches I bet on. That's not the right thing, but sometimes gamblers just try to see luck from the science of feelings.
Wise gamblers certainly don't do that. they will prefer to bet on matches that they understand and can predict. As you do, that is what other gamblers should do.

There is a kind of enthusiasm In sports betting by having a good understanding of the teams involved that can indeed provide a sense of confidence and engagement. Analyzing team performance, player statistics, and other relevant factors allows for a more informed decision-making process, and this knowledge can enhance the overall enjoyment of watching the match. The element of skill and knowledge in sports betting creates a connection between the bettor and the game itself.

The excitement is not solely dependent on luck, but rather on a thoughtful consideration of various factors that may influence the outcome. This strategic aspect adds a layer of involvement and makes the entire experience more immersive. The preference for sports betting over slot games often stems from the sense of involvement and strategy that comes with making informed decisions based on a team's performance. It has a combined sense of entertainment and thrill of competition.

Maybe you have a point OP, because against the house is the most random thing in gambling that is very difficult to predict compared to sports gambling, I myself like sports betting because of this and I also really like sports, one of which is football, because of that I find it easier to analyze the bets I will make, because I am quite familiar with many teams and the potential of each match that is done, such as in the EPL league, bundes league, La Liga, UCL and many more teams that are very familiar, so it makes it easier for me to make predictions of opportunities in gambling.

But sometimes I also like to play slots against the house, but only when I'm bored. Tongue

I find it not unique since it's the most popular type of gambling IMO. About your knowledge, it could increase your chances of winning but as to the odds... are you referring to odds set by bookmakers? If so, I think we see the odds as the same regardless on how we analyze it, and with a huge market available, it's always up to us on how to choose the odds that could result to a win.

We all know that, it doesn't need to be repeated from time to time. As a responsible gamble, we understand the risk very well.

Remember that gambling is fun, not a financial strategy. Could the real skill be self-control and financial discipline as well as game knowledge? Excitement and responsibility may be the winning combination!

It could be fun and financial strategy at the same time, at least for me. Since we are discussing about sports betting here, it's quite different than other casinos where house edge are gonna rip us in the edge, in sports betting, we can take that away with our skills to analyze in choosing the winner.

Why sports betting?
Maybe my answer is the same as the others, namely sports betting is easier to predict than gambling versus the system.

Casinos such as blackjack can still be controlled by the dealer to win. Moreover, Plinko, slot gambling can sometimes be regulated by the gambling admin himself.

but in the past in Indonesia there was a case of match-fixing, the news was very big at the national level and even the head of sports was replaced because of this case, this is just my opinion but maybe they are working together with local gambling owners.

Not totally easy but you do actually have a point on which on the time that you do really know on what are the games you are dealing with then you could really be have the advantage on which this is way more better on dealing with those luck based games on which it is really just that depending on your own choice. For me i do love on betting on sports on which you arent only be able to put up your knowledge on sports but also you do able to feel the thrill on watching on the team/player you are really that betting on. We could actually do both as long you do have the money to spent specially if the bet you are putting your money on
do still upcoming then you could still play some casino games along the way. It would really be that totally depending on your finances because if you do have those funds then you could do everything.
