On sport betting you can make very good money risking little.Golf is the best from @25 to even @300

that is nice diffrence

I don't think it is very good or easy money making method but surely it is better than playing those only depends on luck like dice game. But in sports betting, if you one want to win always then they surely need a luck and at least based on my knowledge it is not a easy task to do it. So I only bet sometimes on sure matches.

for me it is just same thing, sports betting would prefer me much easier rather than doing casino gambling with sports house you can find many reviews about the team you are betting with and the opponents capability to turn around the game so you can decide whether to put everything in or put some to risk little but casino gambling it is always the house wins big and it is just pure luck to bag big from it.

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

It is very true that doing the betting in sport is gambling, because here there is something involving contract between two people and they are fighting over something that is so uncertain. This is a gambling and sports 100% stakes in the same with the other gambling there are only several tips that can be used to minimize a defeat that is doing research about supported team

Like gambling the whole idea in sports betting is the same but the form of choices is more clear than in gambling since you can pick your choices on teams or an individual whom you have observed and evaluated their performances.  Sports betting can be similar like gambling because of the betting practices involved.  But unlike gambling sports betting is predictable while gambling is not, sports betting has minimal choices while gambling has a lot of chances that is why in sports betting you can predict and make a choice to bet with the assurance of a big chance of possibility to win.

Please write your mind.


Of course yes, betting on sports is also a gambling, you also guess, predict and risk your money on it, same as others gambling. The different is sports betting is not provably fair, not like others gambling.

sports betting is one part of gambling mate as long that you are placing your money at risk it is already a gambling, no assurance that you can earn just a pure luck from it.

Putting some money onto something which maybe turn in a loss is by definition gambling. Some may say one could win and that is true but most of the time we should be aware that losing is easier than winning. That's why betting on sports is gambling, and a very popular kind.

its 100% gambling but like with black jack.

There is ways to have an edge that takes a lot of
the gamble out of it. But of course its gambling I mean
you cant control if your team fumbles 5 teams even if
you handicapped the game right.

It's definitely gambling. Any form of betting is gambling. Anything that requires to take risks, and have no control of your outcome should be consider gambling. Betting on sports can be determined by the player's form and ranking, however it's not always the case.

Although sports arbitrage is more of an investment than gambling. But the arbitrage opportunities are getting harder and harder to find.

Well, it is true that betting on sports are actually a lot less chance based than playing a dice game. However, it doesn't mean that it's completely skill based and ranking based. Players fail time to time.

So yes, I think betting on sports is gambling.

Yes sports betting is kind of gambling but the main difference between sports betting and gambling is sports betting is highly knowledge-based. We can win in sports betting any previous experience or with knowledge on sports.

off course betting on sport is gambling because you invest money before a game and wait till the end and watch witch team has won. So gambling in sport calls also gambling for sure.

Betting on sport is gambling and that is because you are hoping that you can earn some money with it if that will win and that is also the most risky thing of gambling.
So that have to change and many people thinks also that they can earn a lot of money in fast way but that is impossible.

off course you just saying it if there is a worth that used like betting off course it is a gamble. If you put money on a team who needs to win but also can lose  its 50/50 but still is a gamble.

Well I think it's still gambling, as my definition of gambling is when you risk something to try to profit from it. But I do agree with your statement that professional betting is not a myth. Same thing goes for sports trading, that is still sports betting but with a slightly different approach, and professional poker.

According to me both are same Betting on sport = gambling. Yes in both case casino betting and sport betting we use our coins to bet but in sport betting we can assume that game in casino it is depend on luck that's it so here we are doing betting only. So betting on anything is equal to gambling only so i don't find any difference.

Well it certainly is gambling. Say you bet on a team which is 50 times favorite to win but the team is not able to score and end as a draw or the other team just manages to score, then you lose your bet. So its a gamble. But if you are able to make good choices on games, then you can increase your odds. But it will still be gambling.
