Just a question.. where do you think people lose more money, in slot games or sports betting?

For me, when I bet on sports, I usually place bigger wagers but only on a few bets. On the other hand, when I play slots, I start with a small bankroll but keep coming back to play again. I’ve realized that slots feel more enjoyable since you lose smaller amounts, and you get to play for a longer time.

I loss more on slots. It is really enjoyable playing the slots and the excitement i can feel on every press of the button, this is why i bet alot on this game.
For the sports betting i have more control coz of the waiting time we need until the game is finish.
Like in Basketball, i do bet a few 5-6 games and 1 parlay. unlike iun slot if i loss big i will just change a game and play again. ending to lose more than 10x on sports betting
It’s not surprising that people often lose more in slots because there is no minimum amount of betting despite how exciting those kind of games are, unlike with sports betting, most of us chose for bigger bets to attract higher profits, thus making us capable to lose bigger amount. However, the only difference is that, we can gain more assurance with sports betting most especially if you are a sport enthusiast, unlike slots where the outcomes are purely luck based.
Excitement in slot games is only but for a short while, I don't know about other gamblers but as a matter of fact, I easily get bored playing one slot game for a very long time, and thank goodness game providers and casino know this and are proactive in ensuring that gambler get new slot games from time to time, else, I guess no body will be playing Slot games anymore by now except new gamblers lol 😁

And speaking of loses, people lose in sports betting too, just as much as others lose in slot games, but I do agree that in sports betting, gamblers have more control, their sports knowledge gives them that edge, or a kind of hedge to minimize loses by not completely being dependent on luck alone like it is with or in slot games.
But overall, slot or sports betting, gamblers still lose money and this is enough reason to always gamble with care.
