Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?
Choose a game and it doesn't matter what it's called, addiction comes when many conditions are meant. Many people enjoyed playing slots of all games in the casino and eventually they become addicted. They might have little interest in sports betting, but ones you get into the stage of addiction, it remains the same on any kind of gambling activities you find your self. Why many people find sport betting less addictive is because sport betting is something that majority of gamblers endulge in. It's one of the most popular kind of gambling and has existed for ages. So people might not consider their love for it as addiction..
Well, I would rather say that the reason why sports betting seems less addictive is because it's a type of gambling game that allows the gambler some time to engage in other activities before coming back to check the result of the game and their bet to know if they lost or won, meanwhile slot games are games you have to play and dedicate some special time to because for every spin, you get your result in less than a second, so you have to be there to spin another one.
Someone might want to ask, "what about betting on live matches?", it's basically the same, when one bet on a live match, they will still wait a couple of minutes or even an hour for the match to be concluded before he or she can see if he won or lost, that waiting time can be used for something else which is completely different from gambling and that give the brain a break, helps it not to get too used to gambling and as well, avoid getting addicted.
