The word betting makes it gambling, and actually FYI, sports betting is the largest form of gambling and they are a billion dollar industry. Gamblers prefer sports as they have the time to analyze the event using their capping skills and that is good because they can exercise their skills in capping games. Personally, I love sports betting since it is more entertaining that the other gambling game.

Exactly. It's one of those gambling games that you can easily earn big money from but is also very prone to rigging due to the amount of money it generates

I agree with you the sports betting is the largest betting activities in the gambling world. This will give high revenue to the casino owners. According to my knowledge those who are using Bitcoin, out of 10 people min 7 people will do sports betting. Now you only tell me sports betting is gambling or not?

Yes betting on sport is a gamble.. because when you bet it means that your predicting to an uncertain outcome. Just like gambling your trying to predict the outcome of which game you're playing.

Whenever or what game you are involving money we can really called it "GAMBLING" because we are betting money and if we are going to bet then its already considered as gambling betting on sports betting on cards dice etc when you are involving money that's gambling.

My vote is also yes as like many other users because betting is sports in also a kind of gambling.Gambling can be divided into different form like gambling in casino,and sports betting is also one form of it.We stake our money in it,so yes sports betting is also gambling.

Since betting on sports has something to do with the talent, I don't consider it at gambling.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

Definitly when betting with money = gambling already it's like any other gambling activities like betting on casinos see there are no difference there's the word betting and if you are playing or placing your money to any team then its gambling.

Sportsbetting , dice , plinko , bingo , raffle , lottery they are all a form of gambling . They are just different ways of games but as long as there is a money involve to win or to lose it is still a gambling. As long as there is a risk that you can lose or you can win money.
Yeah as long as there are money related to bet it is going to be considered as gambling. And all you have said are types of gambling games. Even if you are going to do trading that is going to be considered as gambling too because you are going to risk your money but good thing that it is lesser risk rather than gambling, because it has the highest risk.

I agree on this if we want to do sports betting means we should have more knowledge on sports. And yes this is something to do with talent. But only with the talent we can not make money in gambling. We need investment to make a profit in gambling. So if we invest money means we are putting our money at risk. If we put our money at risk, then it is called gambling.

Yes, definitely. The definition of gambling means "play games of chance for money" or "take risky action in the hope of a desired result". Betting on sports just because you have some knowledge on it doesn't mean it's not a risky action. Anything where you are risking money without a guaranteed profit is considered gambling.

Betting on something is always called gambling. Not just on betting in a sport. Like in real life we always bet on to something even if we don't know what will be the outcome. That is already called gambling or for a better term risk taking.

Sports betting is one of the most popular form of gambling so definitely the answer is yes, we are betting in sports because that is more fun and we believe we have more chances to win because the data are present ant it is transparent game, we can see them playing so that gives more confidence.

that is not completely right because even in sports betting or even in any other kind of betting that is based on skills and experience like poker for example, there is still a big factor called luck which is still effective enough to consider the game as a "gambling" game.

if you have ever made any bets on sports or any of these skill based games you know that there are times when you are sure that you will win but when the time comes, you lose! despite all the skills and experience!

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

I think you miss understanding what gambling and sports betting are. The gambling has two types of games one is luck base games called slot games. Another one is skill games called sports betting and other knowledge base games.The sports betting is the part of the gambling. So if you do sports betting, then it is called gambling.

Yes it is or else what it will be called. You do not know where the game will go, if already their is being fixing done among the players, captain etc then it will turn out otherwise and maximum people who bets will lose as even the best side lose to low rank team in fixing or take the game to near end and loses in the end.

Of course betting on sport = gambling because it's not like you research things and then bet on a team who will win most likely and you have your bet back doubled. It's not like that, because it's not only you who can do the research. So if the chances of a team to win are high you should risk say 1 BTC in order to get 0.1 profit in case of winning. Same thing with the dice gambling for example when you bet with 90% win chance.

Yes betting in sport is the same as gambling because we spend money to make a profit if you win, and it's very dependent on luck. All the games are not necessarily enter into gambling but all games that require betting that includes gambling.
