Betting on sport = gambling?

[Newcoins2020]

I'm always trying to see things from both sides but I don't see how betting is not a gamble. You are placing a bet on something. You are still taking a chance to lose or to win.

 I still see that as a gamble which required adequate experience.

Yes, it is gambling. Just like poker you might have a skill edge to increase your odds but at the end of the day you are making bets that can win or loose money making gambling, especially with the things that can go wrong even for a favorite team in sports.

[Hashminers]

If you are betting is always gambling even it is sport. Like CS:GO they are people betting and that is gambling.
So yeah everything is just a gamble if you bet.

[tolikkk]

I do not think that the rate is gambling, when it relates to sports, for many in the past gambling to try himself as a sport, and people like it, like bingo and social lottery not gambling

For me if you bet on the game or sports or anything it can call gambling because you are betting
and you can win or lose. But betting on sports bettings is fair than the other games...

if u have chances to lose money? yes, sports betting must be gambling of course, sometimes low odds matches' results are also unexpected, they will lose money on those easy bets.

Ofcourse its gambling. I know a lot of people claim they know the teams way too well and can make better decisions, but its still gambling. Even a +EV move is gambling.

Please write your mind.

anything where you are risking money/goods and just hoping for a good or positive outcome is gambling regardless of the amount or the way you risking.
sports is definitely gambling,I don't find a reason why it shouldn't be.

ya betting on sport is gambling, as you are betting on the team which is going to win or lose and here you are also risking your money if the team dont perform and you lose it. just same like playing gambling casinos or dice game, if you bet on high roll and if the result is low then you lose it, so where ever you are betting it is called as gambling.

i agree that it is gambling too. gamble to me means that you place a certain amount of possession in hope of an event happening that you will get back your possession and more if you win or you will lose your possession if you lose. it is not a trade where you buy a movie ticket where you lose your money but you gain the joy and experience of watching a horror show.

 It is diffrent or it can be diffrent.It is to learn how to do it.Find some your own   way spending  some time on reading
but it  can  be same way adictative  like gambling

[vendetahome]

of course its gambling even though it involves a little bit of knowledge it is still just a game of luck and you can possibly always loose because the matches might be unpredictable

[Bayuu]

If you're making guaranteed bets, then no.

But that's called arbitrage.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Fuck yes it's gambling!  What else would you call it?

[Remk]

Sports betting is a subset of gambling, gambling also includes cards, roulette, slots, and many others

[Nimbulan]

i really think its gambling because of the house edge that will make you loose in the long run even though if you have a lot of experience on betting in sports and know a lot about the teams or players history

more user forum associated the betting sport to gambling and i don't understand why.
For me is 2 separate world, gambling (casino, dice ecc) have house edge , betting sport no.

Betting sport is 50% lucky and 50% strategy, gambling is only lucky

[FruitsBasket]

Every bet is actually a 50/50 chance, because there are only 2 outputs, win or lose.
And obvious sport betting is gambling. U don't know the outcome yet so it is gambling.

The same way you think gambling in casino is all luck, there will be people that will say the same thing about sports betting. At the end of the day it's all
luck, because even when you factor in all statistical info, there's always things that you can't predict. btw i believe most of the sports is rigged anyways,
atleast with better casino's you get provably fair chances..

cheers

i think its pure gambling and nothing else it does not require any skills as it is just guessing the outcome of the game so i believe its nothing too much different from ordinary gambling on dice and so on
