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.
Yeah its gambling if you dont have a bet we can not considered it as gambling if we are just member of the team or game.. and don't spend any dime or money they we can not considered it as gambling..

Solving blocks can't be solved without my rigs.
Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

In a game when we bet our money for getting someone else money we involve in gambling, and we know that in sports betting we do the same, there we also bet for getting some money so sport betting is also gambling. It is considered as a type of gambling.

You are right, in any game or sport where we bet our money is called as gambling, there are different types of gambling just like indoor and out door gambling, sport betting is also a type of gambling.

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.
Exactly what you said. Investments, trading, sports betting, all of them are under gambling because of the risk factor involved in them, although only with a little variation of time it takes to get results.

I know some people don't consider sports betting gambling since you 'only' bet and you can win easy if you know the right information, but the fact is that it's not always true at all cases because there are always those unpredictable factors that can occur anytime.

I will never considered trading is gambling because gambling are giving fun for people not for making a profit unlike trading. we know they are the same risk but trading is good for making profit with low risk than gambling..

It's true friend. that gambling is something just give pleasure to those who do, the pleasure they get is a victory that is temporary and of the victory they have outstanding thinking well, however can lead them into a very dangerous gambling addiction (want to get rich quick with gambling/benefit). It is something very harmful if they can't control themselves

i wil bet on sport now, and it can be very eazy to make money but jus have your good strategyy

In sports betting one need to have good knowledge on game and team players than having a strategy. But it is not so easy to make money from sports betting if that is true then by now many sports betting service providers should have closed their site. So gambling is always a very dangerous and we must need some luck to win all our bets.

Sure betting on sports considered as gambling too. Look at the odds. Every good teams/person that have a good chance to win the game will have a lower odd while the weak one will get the bigger odd. Even you pick the good teams everytime, that wont guarateed that you will gain profit at the end. Sometime surprise comes when weakest team beat the stronger one.

Anything that involves money and expects something in return can be considered as gambling. Even if its not literally money as long as you are expecting something in return out from something that is at stake that can be counted as gambling.

gambling will make you lose. mending your money is used for things that can make a profit but little risk

Yes all things that require bet included in the class gambling. That would be putting money and gain my opinion.
So I think sports betting is gambling because we place a bet and if you win we will benefit

I think in some kind of a perfect world there is a huge difference between betting and gambling. I am talking about the world with no corrupt games or fights and people always behave pretty much the same and are very rational. In that world it would be possible to gather the information about soccer teams, for instance, and put money on a better one. However, I don't believe we live in such a world, actually.

Exactly if we put our money in risk to double our money, it is called gambling. Sports also betting same we will place our bet to get profit so this sports is also gambling. According to me betting and gambling both having the same meaning, there is no difference b/w these two words.
