Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

By definition on dictionary, the word "gamble" means "to play a game in which you can win or lose money or possessions". http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gamble So of course, sports betting is a form of gambling.


One can argue from that definition that you're not playing a game, you're betting on a game.

But from that bet, you're either losing money or winning money, so still, it is called gambling. No matter whether you play that game or not but when you bet on the individual match where you got a chance of losing or making money than it is gambling.

Lately, I am not having a good results in sports betting, most of my selection are not falling the right way. Maybe I should start fading myself and honestly that is not entertaining because you did your research on which team has the advantage and you just know that the other team won.

But, if you are a gambler and want money, we will sacrifice our emotion and do it with our brain.

hope you are not victimized by fixed gambling i know the feeling of losing money on the part that you already done your research but luck didn't permits you to win but as the gamblers said no way to quit but to play more smarter.

Of course it is. As long as the word "betting" of money is involve it is called gambling on whatever you do. I know there are people that would say that it's not but the truth is, it really is.
thats true, sports are definitely gambling and nothing else, in my opinion it is hard to win it
That is true that sports betting is also gambling as there we bet for our money to win or lose but it is not true that it is hard to win as if we look at other gambling ways then there we have to rely only on luck while in sports betting we also have to rely on our knowledge.
Yeah of course betting on sport games is also gambling because your are betting you money on the team that you think is going to win.
You do not know the outcome of the game so you take a gamble, that is gambling.

I agree your are betting your money on a team without knowing if they are going to win so you are making a bet.
Putting money on sports games is as much betting as playing roulette or slots at a casino.

Of course it's gambling.  There is a little skill involved in making your choice but it's still a game of chance.  That  sounds a whole lot like gambling to me.

Definitely! Betting in sport is gambling, that is another reason why sports betting is in gambling section.  People who are betting in sports are trying their  luck on the team they choose. And gambling is defined as risky action in the hope of a desired result.  And sports betting defines that too since it plays games of chance for money; bet.

yes no doubt about this. that biting on sports is also gambling and i think it is less risky than any other game of gambling, actually in gambling you always find a chance to recover your position in any stage of the game. therefore it is more profitable and less risky than any other type of gambling.

Of course its gambling its exactly the same, the only thing that is changing is the game you are playing and the reason on what you are betting.
I think that its not wrong but that its 100% same without doubts.

This is  also  i really want to say. Indeed  you are very correct  because  if  we say betting on sport  its actually  gambling because  you are risking something to  earn  money  and  thats the essence of doing gambling. Sports betting  is also  a gambling  as  he said it places  on  gambling section which is  understandable already.

Yes in sports betting we need the small skill set. If we have that much knowledge, then it is easy to make money in sports betting. But in gambling, we don't need any skill in slot games just roll and win. So sports and gambling in both condition, we are putting our money at risk. So I think both are same.

Yeah i also agree with you that betting on sport game is also considering as a gambling.But for me,there are still a interesting part in sport game.The first one,is we can increase the chance for winning by doing some research about two team who will play in the next game.But,still some times,the weak team can win from a strong team.

And we can definitely make some good reference and analyzations so that we can big in sports betting unlike the usual dice or slots where all you need is to watch.

As long as we are betting money in a sports that is already a gambling.

That's not correct, because betting itself proves that it is one type of gambling only.
It is gambling because in both, you lose everything when you lose and both have "odds" with them what make them similar.

To me too, it is pure gambling so far you it invloves a situation where you have to put your resources on the line to get a certain return in excess of what you initially put into it then it is gambling coupled with the risk you have to take to get that return then I conclude it is no different than gambling.
