Betting on sport = gambling?

[mtnsaa]

For many of us mortals it is gambling and that's how the sites/companies make money, however there are some few genius individuals gifted with incredible math skills that make a living betting on certain sports (Baseball is a clear example). I saw this guy recently on FanDuel who was a scientist and resigned from his job to become a full time pro "gambler". If Fanduel and those type of fantasy games are actual gambling that's another discussion for another time.

If you want to do gambling for a living, please never do it with all luck type of gambling, if you really want to gamble as a job gambling in sports is way better. There are some guys living off soccer, boxing, and horse running... literally anything, as long as you are really knowledgeable in the field, I say try it out for a while and decide if it's worth living off it.

Sure it is gambling, and yes, there are also professional players around the world betting high on every kind of sports, include here UFC, this "sport" have some serial gamblers around it.

[ThunderThomas]

Yes, I see it as a bet. A bet is a gamble therefore I do believe that betting on sports is gambling.
Anything where you put your money on without knowing for certain that you're going to win all that money, is a gamble in my eyes.

Of course it is gambling all the same. But still, by betting in sports, unlike many other gambling options, at least you have the chance to access a lot od information that can help you to take the right decision.

Betting (either sports, events, etc.) is an act of gambling(afaik). That kinda of question shouldn't be discussed since it can be answered by a dictionary  or just a simple google search. I don't get why you're asking such question

Please write your mind.

yes, not matter on what you bet, you gamble, even trading is gambling, so sport bets are gambling 100%

you don't always know if you will win or lose, you won't win 100% because everything can happen, so that is gambling, not legal till 16 or 18 years in most of countries

Indeed of course it is gambling. Because you bet with money and you are going to bet who is going to win or whatever and that is gambling.
Gambling is very bad to do and you must know that. I hope that more people will realize that gambling is very bad.

Betting on sports is of course gambling. Gambling is any activity whether you try to predict an event and you will win money if you are correct.

Sports gambling is more interesting than casino gambling as it is real life.

Yep sports gambling is fun. we have more chances of winning on sport gambling if we have good insight on the team/s that we're betting.

Betting on sport is gambling for sure no doubt about that, you are betting on a team and you can lose or win.
But the fact is that you need luck and that is exactly the same as normal gambling.

[krisnt80]

Of course sport betting is gambling, it's different than the typical dice games around here but a more common and well-known type of gambling, You can never predict how the game plays so that's gambling IMO.

Indeed its not to predict you need a lot of luck mostly to win a certain amount if you bet on a ending score from a sport match.
Gambling on sports is almost working the same in my opinion if you dice you dice on a number right, and if you gamble on a sport match you are also doing the same.
It also depends on the fact on what you also bet of course.

The different is Sport betting doesn't have any house edge It's purely luck and required deep analysis to predict the result.
But still there are same things as gambling attitude because you can't know the result before it's end

[socks435]

For me if you bet in sports betting yes for me that sports betting is gambling.. in sports betting you can win easly there because you can easily predict who will win or not.. like on basketball if you are always watching basket ball you can see who is the best to choose to win in the next battle..

There definitely is a house edge. For example, in any sport with 2 evenly matched teams, you don't get 1:1 odds. If you bet $1, you most probably make $0.98 or $0.99. It is very similar to the house edge of the casino.

[MWesterweele]

Dude for my opinion yes they are the same and just have  different call name.But they differ on winnings and risk.Sport gambling or sports betting is a less risk gambling since you are betting a sports team which sometimes groups of people or a team dominates on a sport so sure wins coming unlike dice that the owner may manipulate and eat your money.But both have risk and both the same meaning of gambling

Actually before sport betting is very easy we can predict easily who can win that match based on last performance but now it is aslo converted to luck base game all format games have match fixing now so we can not judge correctly that which team or player is going to win in sport betting so Both are same according to me.
