Have fantasy sports massively impacted traditional gambling?
Some may say that fantasy sports have pulled in more sports fans and new gamblers. Fantasy sports is kind of like a softer introduction to traditional betting scene allowing you to focus on data and statistics which you can use in traditional betting. The benefit here is you do not even need to risk real money in fantasy sports.
But the question is, do fantasy sports draw away people from traditional gambling? Fantasy sports may be seen as a better alternative as you can make up your own teams and play manager. Another question people ask is whether what would fantasy sports be considered as... gambling or gaming?
Fantasy sport does not take away or draw away people from traditional gambling, Fantasy sport at some point on certain platforms are even gabled on, so the participants in a contest to having a better team with more points gets a reward probably like a stake kept for the best team and the team with the highest point so the have actually ended up gambling in the traditional way at the end of the day. in a situation where the fantasy game isn't done in a contest then you get the advantage of just having fun and getting any emotional attachment to it at the end of the day and that is for me a major advantage and difference from the traditional gambling and because that avails only fun but no reward on most cases, then its mostly not going to take away people from traditional gambling that can be very rewarding on lucky days.
Traditional gambling can be very rewarding especially when considered at the professional level meanwhile Fantasy isn't and so Fantasy cannot take away peoples attention who expect to be rewarded at the end of the day as much as Fantasy which provides only fun does. Traditional gambling will always still stay ahead of the Fantasy games until a good reward scheme is added to the fantasy games.
