OP can try Sports bets, sure, but they are two different beasts - one can be more analyzed and debunked by those invested in it, other - is a simpler counterpart, but that's the beauty of them, two of the activities are good in their own ways.
Which sport are you referring to? Or are you talking about sport games vs pure RNG games in this case? Maybe you guys can mention a few games that are popular instead of trying to suggest whether you should gamble for long-term or not since this is not really the thread for thread. I've seen multiple threads being derailed to the same discussion in this sub, not sure if that's the nature of most discussion or just people think as long as they mentioned gambling activity then they can post anywhere.
This is precisely the problem in that the discussion of a specific question that the OP asked for users often becomes so blurred that the discussion moves onto a completely different topic and has nothing in common with the originally discussed topic.
But I think that all the same, we should all somehow put up with this and not be too strict, or at least be neutral, simply because we all respect other forum users and if they consider it necessary to express their opinion on something close to the topic of the topic question somewhere in some specific topic, then this is not prohibited too strictly. But for the user himself, this means that he wants to express his opinion here, having read previous discussions. And it is precisely such opinions and associations that arise in his head. And often these are very valuable thoughts and ideas for other users.
