I also clearly prefer sports betting to classic games such as slots and so on. This is simply because I have a bit more control with sports betting and it's actually my fault if a bet goes wrong.
Yes, in sports betting one has more control than traditional casino games, and there's no house edge on sports games and that's another plus point. Thanks to Icopress who has been doing great job by allowing the users to have free bets and thanks to Whale.io to allow the winners to get free bets instead of free spins.
