Of course it is gambling as long as you bet your money and has the chances to win or to lose it, then its gambling and to add it up, when a games got odds then that games is consider as gambling and sport betting is easier to make profit

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

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.

Not exactly anything, for example in trading you also put your money at risk to gain profit, yet trading is established profession and traders are hired by companies all over the world. What is the difference?
Well, in sports gambling your profit/loss ratio would be around 1:1, going to slightly over 50% in best cases, while professional traders have much higher and reliable ratio.

the difference is that in gambling no matter what the game is, you can never predict the result. even in sports betting the players can have a brainfart and lose that game. or the other team can present their A game and win against you. but in trading there are a lot of ways to predict the market and also you can always get out with little loss instead of losing it all.

Agree with you, all gambling  results is  unpredicted which  causes for us to lose our money and thats a normal  thing  when we are playing gambling.  Sportbetting is indeed considered as gambling  because you are risking your money to win some money and thats already understandable.

it is true that where ever money is involved and their is some type of winning or loosing then it is called gambling but in sports gambling you can earn by doing small research and analysis but in casino gambling it is totally luck based.

If we put our money in a risk to double our money, then this is called gambling. So the sports betting also gambling. Because here we are placing our bet through our personal money. Means putting our money at risk. So according to me the sports betting and gambling both are same.

Exactly the word betting makes it gambling, and you cannot underestimate sports betting as based on my research the sports industry are more profitable combined the music and movie industry, they are a billion dollar industry that's why you can see games being fixed.

There is no doubt about sports betting being gambling. You can call it by any name gambling will remain gambling. I will say this is clearly gambling but every thing if a simple game of guessing words or about general knowledge if there is some involvement of money like sports betting is pure and 100% gambling.

That is the reason nowadays we can't predict results so accurately just based on players and team past performance. In sports betting also need some luck to win all our bets otherwise one may lose money. It is always good to bet small amounts on any match to reduce your loses.

I also will do agree sports betting is just form of gambling because there is no guarantee anybody will make profit there all the time and every time, yesterday I lost my bet on very strong side Barcelona and it lost there and I lost my money on it.

Yes sure because it's gambling you can win or lose with your money.
I have also done this a couple of times and what I did most of the time was betting much money on a good team that was playing a lesser team.
This way you have a bigger chance of winning because the team you put money on is better.

Yes, on doing sports betting we would surely  bet on the  better  team compared to another  but   we could  not guarantee anytime  on our bets  because there are some scenarios that results would be opposite and thats the  essence on making gambling. It may rely also  to luck. Indeed betting  on sports  is  also gambling.

Of course is betting on sport games gambling because you are putting in your money in order to win more money and that is betting.
I have also done it a couple of times and I really like it because you can pick the team who you think is going to win.

The word betting comes with any name it is called gambling. So sports betting also gambling. There is no difference in between these two terms. In sports betting, we invest money to players or teams to double our money. So in a sense, we are putting our money in a risk. Then this is nothing but gambling.

When sports are highly unpredictable how we could expect sport betting would be more profitable all the times. But compared to gambling, sports betting are having some chances to apply our knowledge and experience when we are familiar with a sports person/team.

But, expecting consistent profits from sports betting will disappoint any gambler because sports betting is also a type of gambling.

Please write your mind.

By definition on dictionary, the word "gamble" means "to play a game in which you can win or lose money or possessions". http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gamble So of course, sports betting is a form of gambling.


One can argue from that definition that you're not playing a game, you're betting on a game.

yes no doubt about this. that biting on sports is also gambling and i think it is less risky than any other game of gambling, actually in gambling you always find a chance to recover your position in any stage of the game. therefore it is more profitable and less risky than any other type of gambling.
