Yeah betting on sport is gambling, if you place bet on a game and want your money double in return than this is gambling. There are many sports on which people place betting like Cricket, Football etc.

[Leonard2016]

even if you are winning in your bets on sports it is still gambling because there is a risk involved and you will lose someday even if you have had a good winning streak with no loss.
that is how gambling works you take a risk with your money and then if you are lucky you win and if not you lose, and sports betting makes no difference.

this is i found when i search on google.

Betting is all about risking something, usually a sum of money, against the money of someone else based on the outcome of a future event, such as the result of a race or other competitive event.

Gambling is the wagering of money or something of value (referred to as "the stakes") on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods.

so i think betting on sport = gambling, in other word its just the name that different.

While people in this thread are saying that sports betting is gambling, which is correct, it's a less risky form of gambling if you know what you are doing.

Obviously, if you just bet blindly, you will lose just as badly as any other game, but with analysis and skill, you can be able to predict the right pick most of the time and make a good profit, as sports betting does not have a house edge, as opposed to dice games and roulette.

Hence, sports betting can make you a profit in the long run, unlike traditional gambling, if you know what you are doing.

The word betting is the same as gambling since  you are  risking your money to a certain thing.  Sport betting is also considered also as gambling since you dont know what would be the result its still has 50/50 chance on winning and lossing. ITs just commonsense to answer this question. 

[babyjesusftw1]

I view betting on sports as gambling due to the fact that the outcome is not certain and your money is being risked on an uncertain wager. Although betting is more like an educated guess instead of complete chance, the risk and the existence of uncertain outcomes still makes it risky like gambling. It's still gambling, just a different echelon of gambling.

Betting on sports is not gambling. It is also like a market where you look for value in the lines given. An example of this is the Woodley versus Lawler fight. The line of Woodley opened at +185 then it went down to +125 in fight day. This means that if you make a bet at the opening you would have made some value. But of course he has to win the fight so it is good to do your research.

Yes, sports betting is also like one type in Gambling. But it all depends on how you take gambling. According to me, it is Gambling. And Sports betting is safe gambling method. If you use your skill set, you can quickly make money here. So there is no difference in gambling and sports betting both are equal.

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.

Yeah, if you bet in a particular game then that's already called gambling. Gambling will not always be called gambling if there is no money involve there. 

[BayernRobben]

They are same, betting is almost gambling, betting means do research and taking the risk. Gambling means randomness like baccarat and blackjack, and sports are also random results.

True, sports betting  is also gambling since it involves betting which means you risking money for a certain thing.  Sports betting has lesser risk compared  to  dice games on my opinion because you could study first the  team or player  you would place your bet but still you need also luck in order to win unlike dice games  which is like you gamble blindly.

[LockDown]

Yes of course. Why not?

[newcripto]

Betting on sports is gambling and there is no other explanation about this. I don't think it is investment or anything else than gambling. Anything whatever is called where risk factor is involved is purely form of gambling. Putting on stake and having chances of loosing is gambling and in sports betting we sometimes loose and sometimes win so it is gambling and is same.

[Red-Apple]

They are same, betting is almost gambling, betting means do research and taking the risk. Gambling means randomness like baccarat and blackjack, and sports are also random results.

in my opinion it is just word play and nothing else.

betting and gambling and betting on sports or any other thing you want to call it. they are all the same. you put down some money on an event that its result is not clear and if you predict it right you win and if not you lose.

and it is as simple as that. why you want to complicate things. yes skills are effective in games like sports betting but it is still gambling and your luck decides your fate

[Doamader]

There are just some different between gambling and betting, as betting for me is used to sports gambling, while casinos, slots, those others kinds of games are considered as gambling, for me its almost the same but well they are a bit diferent.

According To Me There Is a Difference Between Gambling and Betting Because in Gambling We Are Playing Games Like Dice, Slots, Blackjack But In Betting We Are Playing On a Sports Event.....
And Basically Gambling Depends On Our Luck and Betting Depends On Our Knowledge And Experience About the Sports Event....

I thought sports betting is a kind of gambling, even it not only depends on our knowledge and experiences about team that will be in match. because we don't know for sure the end of the game moreover team on match are equal, so its about predictions and luck.

[deadlyunknown]

In my opinion we gamble our money away by picking a team on who/which will win and expecting a profit depending on an outcome of the game. So basically sports betting is considered gambling.
