Of course its gambling its something that you do for the money and its betting on something so that is gambling, I think its also risky so its due to these things the same as gambling for sure.
Sports betting is a gambling game that you can enjoy so much when you are a sports enthusiast. Most sports enthusiast think that they can make money out of their passion therefore they bet on a game they think they know how to cap.

No guarantee to win in gambling even if you know the game well because the odd makers know what they are doing.
that's right, house knows what they are risking so we can't really say that we have an edge even we carefully research the game and we knew the team or the player there's still a  risk on it and possible to be burned is also present, the advantage is we are enjoying and we are getting a chance to assess but its still a gamble because of the money involved.

They are also gambling but they are wiser than us, they wanted us to enjoy the game so we will always come back to gamble without knowing that we are slowly losing our money and we just realize later or in the future when problem in money will arise.

Thats  part  of  the plan  on  most   gambling  house   , they  would surely enjoy you  up  because   the feeling of  enjoyment   cant be   payed  by  money, then  that s the  time you are  not aware   on your bankroll which is  gradually decreasing  because  you are  lossing  up too much  money. You would surely feel  it  later or sooner  when  problems do arise  same as  you  mentioned.

i think all kind of bet is called gambling because we don't know what will happen as result , and someone might be win / loss and it is gambling
You are right as betting is just sub-set of gambling. Still, we can classify what is gambling and what is betting according to the nature of what we are doing. Betting will not be riskier similar to gambling as as we are not using the term betting for a luck based games. Testing your luck might be gambling and others maybe classified as betting.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

I think yes, it is gambling game, because on gambling there are something that become betting do not care it is sports, cards, football, dice or other. If there are something that be staked (money or digital currencies) it is include gambling.

I am sure that betting is also gambling, even though you analyze everything with the 2 teams it is even out because of odds, don't you think bookies already know who you will be betting and what team will they put the odds on? Of course, they are already in line with this kind of work, if they didn't they wouldn't last even a season of a league. All of that is because even in sports there is still a random chance that what you analyzed will go to the opposite of the result you are hoping.

Yes it is gambling when you bet on any sports game. There is no difference not even little between betting and gambling. Betting is given to sports events to distinguish them from casinos games. It is like using card in poker, rolling the dice or spinning the wheel in slots all are gambling. It is involvement of money which turns a simple thing into gambling which can be anything.

that's correct no difference at all we still talking about playing our fate into this game placing our money with the team that we are hoping to win its just like choosing which will happen when we place our bet with dice game we can't really say what will be the results because even best teams loses if we are unlucky with our bet.

it is gambling only because it is unpredictable and that is the first rule of gambling. what you can do with gambling on sports is to guess the result and never be 100% sure. now if you have some experience with this type of gambling and if you read up on the history of the teams and players stage at that game then you can only make your guess stronger and that is why we call sports betting an skill based game!

Why not it's not gambling even we can good profit with sports betting and it's less risky than dice, but in overall ratio it's very similar to gamble as like when we see over outcome, some matches looked very easy to predict but the result happening with unexpected way that is no doubt it's purely gambling.

Yes, my vote is positive because there is not even a minor difference between betting on sport and gambling. Sports betting is little more flexible way to gamble but it is gambling after all. Gambling is some form of guessing an dexactaly this thing we do in sports by placing bet on some option to turn to be true.

Yes, the sports betting much better than Dice game. We can not predict the Dice game result like that in sports betting also same sometimes our guessing will not work. We will get unexpected results. When we do not predict the game means, it is called gambling. So I think there is no major difference b/w gamble and sports betting.

There is no 100% sure in any gambling games but we can choose what gambling games is the best and easy to predict like sports betting since its a sport games we can easily analyse who will win or not.. if you don't have knowledge about sports you can rely in sports tips but it is good to be check their plays before you can choose what is a good team to bet..
For dice game it is just a game like coin flip you will not know or predict what will be the next result..

Sports betting is really good, that's base on what I experience but you will be surprise that I am still down big although I appreciated sports betting. What's important to me is that I will be able to enjoy the game watching my favorite team play and adding some spice to feel the thrill more and that's my bet.

Without any doubts, betting on sports is gambling you need luck to win and you are almost doing the same as roulette as you are asking me about it.
You are betting on a player/number/team..

Anything that involves risking money to earn more money is gambling. It means, even counting posts on streets competing with other who is also counting post is gambling. And betting on sports is very obvious that it is gambling.

Yes, all things involving money bet to profit included into gambling. If the sports betting it is clear, including gambling, because we'll bet some money to get money if you win. In contrast, if we are only guessing who wins without betting, it is not included into gambling. So in essence betting that involves money included into gambling, such as sports betting.

Not all involving money to have profit is consider as Gambling, I think you are just exaggerated on this case. There are methods like "investing" that does not consider as gambling.  Gambling is just a game of luck and no guaranteed for profit. In short gambling is just a game that involves money. And that's all. Don't be exaggerated on the term gambling

You are right, that  guys is too exaggerated when  he do  define gambling   and he generalize all  things  because   money  involvement  doesn't  only  focus on gambling  but there are still some  things like  investments  which  you already mentioned. There are  people who  don't think what they are saying though. Betting  on sport does considered as gambling already  because   you  are betting  money  to earn  money on a particular game.

For me, Betting in sports is actually a gambling because there is a money involve and when you actually win the game then you will get profit from it right? and then if you lose from betting, you will actually lose money, so that is gambling.  Smiley
