Betting on sport = gambling?

[harizen]

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.

Not that much risk involved but still you are gambling your money isn't it? Then it's no different, low bets or high.

But yes, people have different views about the main concern and for me sports betting is already a gambling once people placed a bet for it involving their own money.

When ever there is some kind of bet its gambling. You can gamble will it be raining day tomorrow or not, its a gambling. Betting on sports is gambling, and people bet on every possible sport there is in this world. Football, basketball, tennis, and many other illegal sports as well.
Sports betting is not so easy as it seems, sometimes its very hard to make profit there. Depends on strategy you have, money you plan to bet with, and many other things. So people shouldn't live in illusion that betting on sports is not gambling.

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.

Yes, I will not say it is not gambling as I have experienced the gambling nature in sports betting.

Sports betting is also unpredictable for me at time to time based on the type of sport I am going to bet with.

T20 cricket betting must be pure gambling as this type of matches are very hard to predict for the outcome. Instead of trying betting on this particular sport, it would be better to leave off as sports betting is not giving an entertainments.

it is definitely gambling in my opinion, though sports might be easier to win sometimes to be honest

"Sometimes" need to emphasis that because in most cases many fixed bet already around the sports house
so even we think the is just easy to predict but if fixed games happen we will be burning out too.

This is somehow a risk when we are playing  on sports betting  some may have fixed games which would  definitely opposes our bets. Sportbetting is indeed a gambling since we are risking our money to gain money. and gambling is all about  risking your money. Theres no need to ask

If you place your money on anything with an uncertain outcome in order to win more money, that's gambling. So, I think both of them are the same really.

[Stedsm]

Yes it is, because no matter what, when we lose in sports betting, we lose real money and whatever thing used in bets if by any means contains monetary value, then I think considering it gambling would not be wrong.

Yeah as long as you are going to risk your money regardless the amount even that is going to be related to sports that is going to be considered already as gambling.

And many are getting attracted into sports betting especially in UFC and boxing because while enjoying watching they are also hoping to win their bets.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

Yes according to me , if you place your money on anything and  you don't know the outcome ,its gambling . Betting on sports comes under predictive analysis and without any doubt its gambling . Basically if you risk your money on anything whose result is not certain , its gambling.

[talkbitcoin]

Yes it is, because no matter what, when we lose in sports betting, we lose real money and whatever thing used in bets if by any means contains monetary value, then I think considering it gambling would not be wrong.

it is all about two main factors in gambling
1) money
2) unpredictable risks

and betting on sports have both of these attributes so it is the same as any other gambling games.
but the only difference is that the chance of winning is not all about what your luck is but also it is about your "information."

[smho_16]

It's a gamble as you don't know the outcome of an event. Although in this kind of gambling you have more chances to win than playing slots machines which you rely purely on luck. Still this is called gambling as same fundamentals are used, you gamble your money for easy profit.

[olubams]

I would go for yes that its gambling because it involves putting your resources somewhere and expecting returns with sizeable amount of risks you're willing to take which could either be favourable or not favourable at the same time what you're expecting if favourable you didn't work for it so its pure gamble...

It is absolutely true, that all gambling that we do not have a certainty. so if we do a gambling and have confidence that is very large (the victory of) then it all will not provide a good effect when you get is defeat. Better do a simple mind gambling with and don't expect

thats true, sports are definitely gambling and nothing else, in my opinion it is hard to win it

If sports are hard to win at, imagine in slot machines, you may pass ages playing and winning 0. In sports betting chances are higher as you may follow a tipster if you don't have the time to analyze the event for yourself just check their threads to get a few info from each one. This information is free in the forum.

And yes sports betting is same as gambling as your are gambling your money.

There is no chance in slots almost its likely the same in any dice game. Sportsbetting is one of the good choice to gamble and yeah tipster can help you to choose what is the best team that you can bet and make a good profit but not all tipster are always right to choose there still risk from tipsters.

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.

Of course it is. Anything u put your money on, for which the result is unknown, is a form of betting. It might be result of a sports or digit of a block hash or price of a stock, it is gambling.
