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

                                        hmm

                                        everyone thinks they are unlucky in poker. Now you are going to show me your 2 out beat right?

                                          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)

                                                      Poker without a doubt.

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

What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                                        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.

                                                          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.

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.
