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.
Before you get x10 in slots, you will lose many spins, and then with this win you will need to take into account everything that you lose. And here you need to proceed from how good a bettor you are, how often you can win bets with a odds 10, and whether you need it, maybe you can win bets with a odds 2 much more often and this will bring you much better results in the long run than slots, or bets with high coefficients. Slots will never be a priority for me, I am a bettor and do not chase high odds.
