I'm not lucky so Sports betting 10 fold for me

Poker has a better profit ratio for me. But I am an avid gambler so I wager more $$$$ on sports.

Sports for sure. I am the opposite of Stu Ungar.

PAULYPOKER · 04-14-10, 10:16 AM

Although I admit I'm jealous because of my lacking of the luck factor in poker... I love the game

necro · 04-14-10, 10:17 AM

only decent bots play limit hold em, in no limit there isn't any known bots that can do well at even mid-stakes. The major sites also do a good job at keeping these out.

Very true. Some of the conspiracy theories are astounding, and it's easy to make patterns of the randomness when you go on big swings. I've well at 200k or so hands of Omaha Hi-lo and okay over a couple hundred tournaments and a few thousand SnGs. I've probably made about 10x more at poker than sports-betting, but sweating the games is fun.

nice, what stakes do you typically play at omaha hi-lo? is your tournament and sng play mainly no limit hold em? (would probably have a tough time getting a few thousand omaha hi-low sngs started)

You can't win at either. We are all doomed.

DrStale · 04-15-10, 01:02 AM

Poker without a doubt.

Please do not listen to Pauly, for he does not have a clue.

shari91 · 04-15-10, 01:03 AM

I'm better at poker, but because of pure luck with some of the dumbarse sports bets I've made over time, my betting has had a higher ROI. Especially this year.

Sam Odom · 04-15-10, 01:05 AM

In Poker getting beat on the river while all-in & with a 75% advantage after the turn is emotionally like a fumble being return for a TD on the last play of the game to beat you.

So, I go on tilt less often betting on sports

So sports is my answer.

Naz18 · 04-15-10, 01:07 AM

Sports for sure

fedtpels · 04-15-10, 03:55 AM

poker by far. i have the same tendency. build up a profit at the tables and blow it on the book. i love it!

d1m@ · 04-15-10, 04:01 AM

spotrs of course

football rules

(soccer)

Cuse0323 · 04-15-10, 04:07 AM

I win money on sports and blow a lot of it on poker. I still think I'm just as good at poker as I am with sports, but I don't have the same money management with poker. Plus I go on tilt easily and blow money in minutes with poker. Been losing a lot trying to get into the Main Event lately.

Dr. sale I would Crush you in poker the only way you would have a prayer is the luck factor which would be involved

I consistently make it in the $ in tourny's without winning more than 2 showdowns BANK IT

LUCKYCHUCK · 04-15-10, 05:08 AM

Maybe you should just keep your poker winnings and play in bigger tourneys with more to win
