Casino games are quite addictive due to its optimized fast nature of providing results. Unlike sport gambling where the gambler has lots of time to decide on whether to pick a specific team or not based on their past analysis of performance and action. That doesn't remove the fact that everyday participant in sports games will also not influence the chances of winning. Should I call it addiction or greed, some gamblers who wager money on teams they've got no valid information on their performances, are close to facing the same fate with slot players. The slot player is at an advantage because of his knowledge of this occurrence, based on how slot games were designed to operates.
Sports gaming is quite good if a player is weekly wagering money on his favorite teams, which he's made some strong analysis on during the weekdays. Doing this helps a player to have enough time to think, more than a slot player who does not need to run any analysis. Capable of influencing the results of his game. However, a well-scrutinized sports analysis doesn't guarantee a gambler would win the game. But players still learn from doing this weekly research on football games. Another valuable asset of sports gambling, it helps players to be advanced in sports events.
In my opinion, both sports betting and slots are equally addictive. In slots, you are looking for a strategy on how to hit the jackpot by manipulating the bet or going through the slots, and in sports events, it is a search for insider information about the match you want to bet on, plus dealing with team scales, player injuries, and so on. In both cases, you need to have a sober head so as not to turn the game into an addiction.
I don't reckon how you think of gamblers being capable of manipulating slot games. Strategies are not effective enough to manipulate a slot game. It's all based on the house to hand out wins to a player, according to the housing edge. The attribution to luck as a factor of gambling result manipulation is not conducive to accept, it's just about what strategies are to gambling. In the right sense, both games are addictive, but slot games pose a bigger threat to gamblers than sports games. Lots of sports gamblers spend a few days a week gambling, compared to slot players who wager every minute of the day. As I previously mentioned, sports gamblers who partake in daily gaming are only wagering on teams they're not well informed about. Most sports gamblers spend money on weekends on famous teams according to their region.
Which is a nice time interval not to get a player addicted. Looking up the number of gamblers who spend time analyzing sports games before wagering money, you'd notice they don't also get addicted easily. Due to the exercise and habit of analyzing games. Such practices help the player to focus more and learn new ideas about sports and the game he's spending money on. Slot has little or no means of researching ways a game plays or manipulating the results. That's the reason I kicked against a line on your response that says, slot players could manipulate the game. Don't know the context where your idea is generated from, but in my view, results can't be manipulated in slot games.
