Both, I probably win more on sports betting than I do on poker, although I bet more on sports betting than I do on poker. Only football, mostly lower league Scottish Football, were I have good knowledge and good sources.

Which do you prefer?Sports betting or poker? Why?
Poker, obviously...



The influence of the luck on poker is smaller than the influence of the luck on sports betting.

If you are betting on sports, you are putting all your money in a luck based in what is more probably to happen or in what is more profitable if happens.

But you can study and pratice poker to be a great player and win championships or big pots in cash games, for example.

For me, it's only poker, because I can make money in poker. It depends on me whether to make money or not. Sports betting doesn't depend much on you, it depends more on luck.

I bet on sports and nothing depends on you, it all depends on luck, and poker is a game of mind and drops of luck, here you decide everything yourself, it all depends on your skill and patience, discipline, so I give 100% preference to poker

Hello :)
I prefer poker because I usually lose money betting on sports. My bankroll actually only grows through tournaments.

Formerly always sports betting (soccer). Today I only play value bets, poker every day.

Before, I used to bet a lot and basically lost everything. I bet for fun, that is, I had no system, no prior analysis and mostly it led to negative results. Now I only play poker and my results are significantly better. At least my bankroll is no longer decreasing but gradually increasing :)

Hello, I definitely like poker much more than betting. In poker I play and I have fun betting, you just do it and you have to wait for someone else to win or lose. I only bet with the tickets that pokerstars gives away every day and sometimes I have won betting on football

They are two very different things, one is a game that involves strategy, skill and luck, the other is a game that involves pure luck.

Betting does not bring such pleasure as poker. Therefore, the choice is obvious

Definitely Poker!
In any type of Sports betting, you are relying on other people playing the way you want them play whether it's Football, Rugby or even Horse Racing, any number of factors can alter the results you are expecting.
In Football you can blame the Team or a single player, The Referee or Linesmen, even the Manager of the Team can and does come under fire for miss-management
But in Poker it is down to how you play that can mean the difference between Success and Failure. Lose and you have no one to blame but yourself, Win and it was you that was the better player on the day.

when there is no time to sit on the Internet, you can bet on sports and take a walk, and in poker you need to sit at the computer, think, restrain emotions, wait patiently for a good card and do not forget to develop, so POKER IS SAFELY BETTER
