Hello Community,

i wanted to get your opinion regarding the odds of sports betting vs. slots... are there any long-time slots players here who have switched to sports betting (or vice versa)? If so? Why?

Thx and many greetings!

I also addressed this issue yesterday in another thread.

From my point of view there are 2 Games of chance where there can be a positive expected value.
Sports betting and poker.
Sports betting because it is simply about estimating games and a lot of math, Poker because of skill.

With slots you have short term entertainment, but you can't influence anything
Only the machine decides if you win or lose. And since the RTP is always below 100%, sometimes even below 90%, you have a negative expected value in the long run.

You can't influence the games on the soccer field, but you can influence the odds/value calculations. And if you are on balance better than the bookmaker, you win. So you can work out a positive expected value.

If you are looking for a slow but steady win, sports betting with single bets is a good option.
If you are looking for a big win and short term entertainment through colorful pictures, slots are the better option.

If you still manage to play disciplined at sports betting and poker, you can definitely be permanently in the plus.

Thank you for your explanation... I find it very understandable
Especially the point with the slow but steady win in sports betting I find interesting
The Big Win in slots I had a year and a half ago and a medium one 6 months ago. If you are a High Roller, slots are just a dangerous thing... 65T € can be gone in a few hours
I think with sports betting such single wins are hard to achieve. However, I prefer smaller steady wins than rare jackpots.

Yes, BigWins are of course difficult to achieve. But with sports betting, you can also play the majority of single bets, and at the same time, with a very small stake, you can also play combos.
The more games, the lower the probability but the higher the win. The mixture makes it

Then you are as already said here in the sports betting area right.

With how much stake do you play the slots?

the fewer games in the combo the greater the probability that it hits, well,

if I have 10 games in the combo, 9 are correct
if I have 8 games in the combo 7 are correct
7 games are 6 correct
and 6 games are 5 correct.
5 games in the combo are 4 correct...

the greatest probability is probably with a 2 or 3 combination...
but there you have to drive high stakes, that's the problem

LOL, it's always the same no matter how many games, it's always one wrong

however, I hit in March yes the 7 er kombi...
and I had that limited to 7, well but there were more tips that I could have taken pure.
so I had waived the 1.50 er quote flensburg handball wins, but that would have brought in the combo again 150 euro more.

one always thinks a 1.50 er quote does not bring much, but in large combos that can already make a difference

The 65,000 € win I have achieved with 50 € per spin. With 100€ stake down again. So under 5€ or 10€ per spin is not really worth it... for me at least.

Haha, then you should always play 10 single bets and a 9 out of 10 combo

I hit a 13 combo on my BigWin in October 2021.
Rare, but goes.
