I’ve been thinking about this for a while. Whenever I try parlays in sports betting, I sometimes hit that x10 multiplier, but honestly it’s extremely tough even when I study the games carefully and apply everything I know.

On the other hand, in slots, hitting x10 doesn’t feel that rare. It comes more often than you’d expect, yet when it happens we don’t really feel the same satisfaction. It’s almost like the brain treats the two multipliers differently.

So my question is:

(1) Is there a logical reason behind why slots make x10 feel easier to achieve?

(2) Or maybe it’s just a psychological trick because slots are designed to keep giving “small wins” to make us feel engaged?

Curious what others think, especially from people who play both slots and sports betting.
