That’s why I’m still confused why do so many people prefer slots over sports betting when the odds in sports are generally better?
More people are attracted to playing slots compared to regular betting because they see that slots can give them pleasure and they can see the results immediately when they press the spin button. When they play, they feel the thrill and adrenaline that makes them addicted to playing it. Even when they will lose more in the long run, they don't really care about it, because it is easy to play and does not require complicated analysis like sports betting.
Easy to spin and easy to lose as well.
If you have a lot of money, it will surely make you wonder where the money goes in a short period of time. I'm not saying we only lose in slots, but if you are too unlucky that day and you are chasing your losses, you won't stay long and empty your pocket.
Self-control is literally what we need in gambling, whether it's slot games or sports betting. We can't be mistaken here because committing a single mistake will cost a lot. If we want to enjoy gambling, don't go beyond our budget and avoid expecting too much.
