Both are skill based yet former is considered sheer gambling while later is not. Fantasy sports has become norm, while on the other hand if people come to know that you bet on sports you'll be met with eyebrow raise.
^ that's my opinion. What's yours? Do you consider both of them same or different?
Yes, they are very similar types of bets, but I still think that games based on real (not virtual) sports are much more predictable.
When betting on a European league football match, for example, there is much more information and predictions that can be used to base a betting scenario than when trying to get some information from a game like CS:GO or LoL
I've never bet on fantasy games, but I've followed it on some sites and in fact I see that this is a niche of bets that is growing more and more... my bets based on football sports games.
but for me fantasy sports like CS.GO, LoL and even Dota 2 can also be predicted but only differ in the pattern of how to predict it.
I have also bet on Dota 2 several times, it is almost similar to LoL and in my opinion the predictions are also as easy as betting on real sports or football.
related to fantasy sports betting for me it's a little interesting to make a profit because like Dota 2 there is no draw option and there are only 2 choices for teams to win or lose and predicting when the broadcast is in progress seeing the performance of the players is also quite easy to make predictions.
so when say about prediction both easy to make prediction.
