Why is it that wagering contests are usually on games with a house edge and not on sports betting?
I’ve seen a few contests where you need to reach a certain wager amount to qualify, and sometimes the player with the highest total wagers wins by the end of a set date and time. But it’s almost always on slots or other casino games with a house edge, not on sports. Any reason why that’s the case?
And my answer is that if a bettor finds the same competitions in different bookmakers, then he can constantly bet on different results in different bookmakers, and in the end one of his results will turn out to be very productive.
Therefore, this can be considered not as his skill, but as a scam, which ultimately will simply be unprofitable for different bookmakers.
And if casinos organize competitions specifically in slots, then they see that none of the gamblers can cheat.
