Oh true. Sports betting is far more easier to gamble when you have the right knowledge and strategy to analyse the performance of teams, their squad depths, match history, stats, injuries and so on. Knowing all of these information about a sports betting game and understanding how to correlate them and compare both teams, it makes it easier for you to predict in the right direction with informed decisions even when it does not give any solid assurance to you, you could at least know what team has more chances and that is worth your bet.

But when it comes to slots games, you don't really have any strategy or smart moves more than just spinning and hoping that it favours you. You can't outthink the slots machine or manipulate the system unless you want to hack into it which I don't think it's easy to do. So, for lay gamblers out there, the only way you could gamble smartly is when you set boundaries to yourself and your spending limits. If you want to show smartness, then plan properly on what you can afford to lose and don't allow yourself to break such boundaries.
