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?

I think it depends on the casino and which area it is more focused on. For example, if a casino puts its main emphasis on slots, then the competitions will mostly be held in those games. But I’ve seen quite a few betting-related contests on forums, where you had to guess the minute a goal would be scored, the number of goals, and so on, so there are a lot of those kinds of contests too. You may have seen more competitions regarding casino games.
