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.

i do not agree with the fact that anything that involves money and expects something in return can be considered gambling in banking terms we can call it an investment and there are many types of safe investments out their, sports betting is in fact gambling as you are not sure about the outcome.

For sure  sportbetting is  included  on gambling since you are risking  money to win  money  just  predicting  on the result of the said game. There no question asked, sportbetting is also a gamble  because  of the involvement of  money and as we all know  gambling  is all about winning or lossing which is  present  on sportsbetting.

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


It's very clear that Betting on sport is gambling. whatever type of gambling when we put our money in the risk. I think it is gambling.
in fact it was clear as the title "betting = gambling"
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.
But not necessarily all the gamblers are putting their money to double it. Many gamblers are going for gambling just to have mind relax. They are just focusing for their entertainments, and may not prefer to go with sports betting as it will require some calculations and analysis whereas other gambling are so just entertaining. So, in my view, sports betting is not just usual gambling.

Its is indeed the same as gambling because you are betting on something and its also that with some sports you need luck to win the bet you have set.
Gambling is based on luck and betting on sports is the same.

It isn't really the same. If we're going to think like you, it means having a restaurant is like owning a casino because you make money out of both businesses. Wrong, because they are completely different.. I see gambling as a way of stealing your money without you ever being able to think about your decision. For example, in a soccer match between Portugal and a very small, new team means OBVIOUSLY that Portugal will win. But when it comes to dice games... Oh well, it's all about your pure luck.

I also feel that gambling and betting are the same. both equally need luck to win. apart from that you also need to risk anything for it. but I guess to bet on sporting events are most likely to win, because if you bet among a strong team and a team that is weak, I think we certainly would bet on a strong team, but you only need to consider how a score that would result from the match

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.



Yes it is,

Betting is also a way of performing gambling,

By the term Gambling it self, it is a type of entertainment that
a gambler or a person put an amount of money at stake
in hope of winning more from it.

So basically, betting in sports game is
indeed a type of gambling,
for those who said no,
then you can google it anytime guys.

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.

As long as you are betting and you are risking something, it is considered as gambling, be it betting on when your future girlfriend will say yes to you or who will come home faster between you and your brother...   Smiley

Any betting is called Gambling. It may be sports or Slot games. If you put your money in a risk to make your money double. Then this is known as Gambling. But Sports betting is the safe betting, here winning chance is bit high to compare slot games. In gambling, we need self-control . Otherwise, it is not possible to make a profit in gambling.

I can't see any thing that can linked out the term gambling when betting on a sport.

Betting on sport as long as there is money involved is already considered a gambling. Even a physical thing that is put on the bet, can be considered as gambling.

I can't see any thing that can linked out the term gambling when betting on a sport.

Betting on sport as long as there is money involved is already considered a gambling. Even a physical thing that is put on the bet, can be considered as gambling.
The term 'betting' could be replaced with term 'gambling' when sports betting will be having huge amount of risks. Yes, I believe as long as sports betting is not that much risk involved, we need not to call it as gambling.
But once if you feel sports betting has no difference from other gambling, then we could obviously could call sports betting as gambling.

Correct, anything  that involves money or  risking something does already considered as  gambling . I dont know  why  op such ask these kind of  question since its  clearly a gambling  when we intend to play sports betting because  we are betting  to a certain player or team.
