Betting on sport = gambling?

[NarendraModi]

In betting you have some ways of favouring the outcome to your side. You have to spend some time in learning about what you are betting in. Gambling is risky and purely depends on luck. Sorry you born strategists, you are sure to lose. Good luck believing you will bankrupt every dice site. Betting needs advice and experience and there is a chance upto 100% of winning while in gambling the house decides the chances of your winning

yes of course there is no doubt about that. you know i personally do gambling mostly on gambling. the reason is that we have very little opportunities of gambling in casino actually gambling and casino are illegal here in our country and one found guilty must be sent to jail. so we do it in casino but illegally and hide. but biting on game have little chance to caught bu the police. so it more convenient that gambling in casino for us.

There is no up to 100% chance match because betting as same as gambling, what is the different between gambling and betting? Both of them sure need some experience to play and need some luck in order to win, without both you wont get any profit or may be you can end up worse. But if you are experience enough betting on sport would be the best way to earn

Whether its a sport event or some other programs, if someone play a betting on particular then sure its a form of gambling. Most people quote it as a sports betting.

[naidray]

Sports betting is truly form of gambling even it is tough to predict for some matches result like recently what happened with Roger Federer, he was hot favorite of bookies and on other side his competitor Milos Raonic played amazingly so nice, after this kind of result there is no doubt sports betting is equal to gamble.

Exactly, for me gambling means which only depends on luck while with betting means where you also use your knowledge and sometimes skills. But now a days some easy and well known sports also getting so much unpredictable that you call sports betting also gamble, so yeah.

[cecelady]

As long as there is money betting involve with it, no matter on what form of sport it is you are betting it is still gambling.

[Cresciuanto]

yes no doubt there is no doubt about this that betting on game is gambling. you know in most of the area as gambling and casino are not legal. there most of the people are doing gambling on sports. it is because they do not need to go to casino. they can do gambling on sports online or using mobile phone.

Yes in my eyes betting on sport is gambling, and its in my eyes also officially connected to it due to the fact that you need luck and you are betting on something and on what does not matter in my eyes.
Its all about luck with gambling and if you are betting its gambling and this is no matter what...

For me also, when you bet or gamble is same because without luck you cannot win any type of game or bet.
Sites are not stupid to offer odds on a event and hence you need luck to win it.

Yup in both method we need luck, I agree. But in sports betting our skill also set work. And our prediction will be right many times. Only sometimes if we get any unexpected result, we lose our chance, or else this is money making method. I made some decent amount in sports betting.

Please write your mind.

I'm surprised at how many people think its like gambling when obviously ita not. Its like 50/50 you can reduce your odds of losing by having knowledge. With gambling there is nothing you can do.

gamble
Simple Definition of gamble
: to play a game in which you can win or lose money or possessions : to bet money or other valuable things
: to risk losing (an amount of money) in a game or bet
: to risk losing (something valuable or important) in order to do or achieve something

it is from a dictionary, so we can check the meaning of sports betting, it fits the first explanation, and so does second and third, because you can lose money, it is gambling.

[bitcircle]

Very simple any type of betting is just gambling where some risk involve than it turned into gambling, sports betting is other name gambling and that is very true.

Anything where is money been placed in shape of getting more back or loosing that is gambling. Sports betting is not safe and has equal risks as gambling in other things. Most recent example can be seen in yesterday's euro soccer match where many people lost money on France inclusive me. If this was not gambling then what is should be considered. I make no difference between both.

You have it all wrong.  To play properly you should not avoid risk but to manage it.  By doing that you should know what you're doing and have the right amount of bankroll to go through all the variance of sports betting.  If you got it all right you're winning line will trend up gradually.

I would say so as there are risks involved. A team could also be involved in match fixing.
I don't personally know really.

gambling is a game of risk when you put down money on something (doesn't matter what it is, it can be outcome of a rolled dice or it can be winner of a cock fight) and it has a chance of going either way then it is gambling.
it doesn't matter how much is that chance of winning is (50/50 or 99.9/0.1) in all cases it is still gambling as long as there is even a small chance of losing in it.

[mishra1994u]

these both are different according to me...what i do is sports betting not gambling..
gambling involves i think casinos playing cards roulette,blackjack etc..
i dont consider myself a gambler

[pereira4]

Well you would say that it is gambling because it requires luck, but investing requires luck too and it's called "investing" and not gambling, and both in investing and sport betting there is a skill that is nothing but studying the performance of the teams, in the case of investing, studying the performance of assets. So investing and betting on sports is the same thing, but one is not considered gambling and other is considered a gamble...

Well, I do not know which type of investment that is which required luck because investment itself means there is very low chances of loosing ( only in rare case company you invest with die ) , anyways gambling is not same as betting, because gambling needs sports knowledge and not just luck.

What kind of investment you do where there are very low chances of loosing? The chances of losing are 50/50.. do you mean that the chances of losing all of your money? (stock going to 0). Well then of course it's harder to go to 0 than with betting.

For me, Betting in sports is actually a gambling because there is a money involve and when you actually win the game then you will get profit from it right? and then if you lose from betting, you will actually lose money, so that is gambling. 

of course sports betting is gambling you have to guess which one will win and you can not rely on your skills but on luck.
for example, the match france vs portugal
