gambling is gambling as long as you are involving money in it. the name of the game doesn't matter at all. it can be a simple game of dice or slots where you don't know anything about the result and it is 100% pure luck or it can be betting on sports that you can know some stuff ahead of time and have some guess about the outcome and make the bests that way. but in the end all of it is based on your luck, and that is the only factor that determines winning or losing!

Sports bets is gambling.  Rare events could happen one mention,the Qb Steelers was injured in the game vs Dolphins.
This event it cause the Dolphins won by wide margin against Steelers in his own House.
so do you think that it is gambling if you know a certain result  Undecided i do not know about this mentioned rare event but one thing i know is if you have the capability to know the locker room news then it would really help when it comes to sports betting.

I do not believe in that kind of news, there's only one way to win sports betting in the long run. The method is pretty simple that anyone would hate to follow. "Fade yourself" why? Because you tend to make a wrong decision in gambling and that's how the odd makers set the lines.

so do you think that it is gambling if you know a certain result  Undecided i do not know about this mentioned rare event but one thing i know is if you have the capability to know the locker room news then it would really help when it comes to sports betting.
It would  not  be a gambling anymore  if   you knew already  on what  would be  the results,  unexpected  circumtances  really   happen all the time  and we cant really assure that we  make   100% winning  percentage   because  your team has  a good  standing . If you  could able to knew  this  kind of situations  just like you mentioned  that   about the  injury news on the locker room then  you would  definitely make  good  amounts of  money  on gambling Smiley  Betting  on sports  is  really a gambling afterall because you risk  money on it.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

No Bro Gambling Can Not be Considered as Gambling Because There is a Big Difference Between Gambling and Sports Betting, In Sports Betting Your Knowledge and Experience Works But In Gambling is Based On Luck.....
What? You serious there? gambling can not be considered as gambling? What? haha i think you just mess on that thing sports betting and gambling is same when you are in sports betting and you are dealling/involving money on that then it's already considered as gambling right? its really based on luck.

And Betting on sport is one of the most popular gambling, easy rule, easy win and also easy lost. you have to believe to your luck on that.

Investing and trading can also be called gambling if it's just "betting money on something to get more". In my opinion the randomness of outcome is that makes it count as gambling, even in sports the variance is pretty big, and if someone was winning before it doesn't mean they will be doing it all the time.

i find sports gambling to be easier than casino gambling as you can use a bit of your sporting knowledge and you get to dictate your house edge

In fact the odds are 33% because you can win, loose, draw with your bets, sure the risks into sport betting are lowered then any other way of gambling, and the odds usually are good, 1,09-1.6 this into normal games with ceptical results the odds just hit the sky. The worse thing at some places is that they allow you to make live bets like : what will happen on the next stop, fault, goal, yellow card, this live options make the most loose money without feeling it.

all things which is related with bet activity is called gambling
of course bet with money, risk money to win or lose money is called with gambling activity

Even sports betting is also form of gambling because there is risks to lose money there, but it is something better than normal luck based games where play against the house and we have very low chance there to beat the house but in sports betting we have choices to pick good option for betting.

Any form of Sports Betting is gambling. Even though you based on your bets too which side favors you to win, there is still a chance you will lose. For example even if you favored a team which has a "-#" on to it because it  is strong, the weaker team might still surprise you with a win even without the odds on it. Just like in any gambling which you thought the odds are in your favor, there is still a chance of you still losing.
Odds means the probability of a team winning over the other team or player. While the odds are believed to favour the favourite obviously, but sometimes yes the underdog surprises too. I think the best form of gambling is sports betting because we don't have to verify rolls and all and do not have to depend on our luck.

Yes 100% yes if you are going to bet with your money then it's already considered as gambling keep that on your mind once you are playing or betting in your money it's really gambling but it's not bad at all theres an effect in your life? yes there are you will be addicted.
Well, I though think that sports betting is not gambling because see its not betting on luck but actually betting with our experience and we can make some real profit too in even long term if we know a lot of about the sports. And if you call risk as gambling then probably in every step of our life we gamble.

I think we have a problem here, sports betting is gambling because we are putting money to make money. It's a simple explanation everyone should understand. I do gamble in sports and I believe I am a gambler in sports because that is my favorite gambling game. I may say sports is my passion and with that it will relate to sports gambling also.

Yeah right, we need to place a bet to make money. Any games that require betting it was included into gambling. So sports betting included into gambling. That falls into gambling so it was not luck but a bet that causes the game into the gambling.

Sport bets are gambling, and i dont understand why people thing it isnt, arent you risking your money against a result? As i know gambling its a prediction result of something, soo sport bets does belong to those, the difference its the risk is lower then dices or slots machines.

Sport betting can be an art... it requires a lot of research, fine tunning, understanding of the game, the players, all the statistics... of course, when it's all said and done, you are going to need a lot of luck, at the end of the day, but almost everything needs luck. It's all about reducing the luck factor as much as possible.

Yes sports betting require skills along with luck but sometimes it come as opposite when we see a weaker team come to win and a better team do not able to do any performance in games and one of the bigger problem in sports betting is sport fixing which make a lot of people lose their money.

I think you don't need to find a lots of research if you are sports lover you can also be watching in sports tv that you can follow if what team are strong and trending that you can bet for them and make a good profit. yeah it is always need luck in order to win.
