Word! I never understand the fun in slots. Not only are you destined to lose, it's also boring to watch and so frustrating, haha. I mean sure, people like different things, but still I always wonder where the appeal is coming from.
Sports wise you can at least also watch the match and in the end, if lucky, you can also win something. If your being emotionally involved makes the game even mire exciting!

once you try slots, they kinda grow on you, hehehe.
they can be quite boring and depressing, but when you finally spin into a good bonus, the anticipation, the frustration, the near misses, and the dopamine rush when you hit a juicy payout is why slots are so fun and addicting.
but like you said, with slots, you are destined to lose.
if you are trying to win some $$, sports are a much much better option.
Ugh, we all crave the winning potential with slots or sports betting. I believe that sports betting is a better option when trying to win money. Personally, slots give me frustration and lack of excitement, I am just full of emotional anxiety, it's also prone to let people get addicted with the dopamine rush, while sports betting is engaging especially when you are watching the event live. It's luck.
