Gambling is when you play roulette and anything can happen.

According to you which is not predictable, that is gambling right. Means the Roulette, Dice, etc. games are unpredictable we can not guess the result. So these games come under gambling. Then what about sports betting? Here also we will put money in risk and now we are getting unexpected results frequently. I think both are same but for you what change you found I don't know.

You are right, when ever we gamble our money then it means we are into gambling. With sports betting also we are risking our money on others (player's) skill. Fortunately we are using our knowledge that is the only difference in sports betting, still for a better result be depend on our luck. So, sports betting must be one of gambling type.

Knowledge is important but it will not guarantee you a win, though you know all the players and you have studied them very well it will not bring you a win. In gambling especially in sports, there are a lot of things to consider and we might be right to see what team will win but can they cover the spread or the line that was set?

In gambling, we can not say which is important which is not, according to me the only thing luck is important. If we use all our strategies, plans, methods everything finally our luck will decide that we are in profit or loss. So for me the sports betting and slot games both are same.

Quite true. Luck should be needed when we gamble. Sports betting and slot games are both gambling but not much the same, because for me you have bigger chance to win in sports betting if you're familiar with the game / sports and know to read and decide whose going to win the match.. whereas slot games it's only pure luck and the chance of winning is very minimal or slim.

well better chance of winning or not, bottom line is you're still gambling when you do sports betting. even if we say that having knowledge and information or doing research would up your chances, you still are gambling. gambling has several types and it just so happens that this type has a lot better odds than other forms of gambling.

Although I don't get the word that I highlighted, but I get your statement. It does not mean that we will win because we have all the relevant information in sports handicapping. Some of the data we get might not work out during the game as there's a lot of factors to be considered.

If you know public bets, you will get what I mean. Public love to be on favorite but failed to analyze the line, they grab directly.

We should really think about the factors affecting the result of the game. Even though the team is somehow leading in most people or gamblers out there but still no guarantee to make 100% sure win. Informations and statistics are just supplementals but not a huge factor on making a sure win bet. Regarding on OP= Betting on sport is indeed a gambling because you are risking money to earn money.

betting on sport is the same as gambling because there is money for winner and beside that betting on sport is can be predicted than gambling games but it needs more info to predict.

In my opinion betting on sport is still gambling because there is always a risk of a player underperforming, injuring himself, or even a team underperforming as a whole. Maybe the other team just has a lucky day.

You don't know the odds when betting on sport. The sportsbooks determine it. So it is a gamble.

i totally agree with you. that's what i love when it comes on sports betting i know whos the stroger one and whos the weakest one. and still bet on the stronger team and i put a very small amount on the other team thats what i call yolo bet . right now i would call dota2 tournament as a sports bet and im still betting on nba games when theres a game

[boyptc]

betting on sport is the same as gambling because there is money for winner and beside that betting on sport is can be predicted than gambling games but it needs more info to predict.

Sports betting is a type of gambling and as long as you are putting your money at risk, that's gambling. And this type of gambling is not just basing with pure luck, you need to have knowledge for the teams that will have the match. That is an advantage for the bettors and many people are preferring to choose this game.

That's not correct because whether you know it or not, betting on sports is also not easier because even underdogs can win sometimes against teams for whom odds are in their favor. So, it's not relevant what you are saying that only roulette and casino is gambling as many have knowledge about these things too, but they still lose and even in sports, the same problem is there.

one can be bet on any ting, betting on sports is really gambling, no doubt about this, and to me sports betting is one of the best gambling game as in sports gambling you have a little advantage to use your mind and your skill as it is not 100% depending on luck.

You put something at stake in hopes of getting bigger income in return, so yes, I think sports betting is a form of gambling. The difference is, you yourself knows and holds the odds; you analyze the stats, read the records, bet based on your decision and you're good to go, just let the teams do their thing.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

Well very interesting topic as i can tell you whats in my mind about betting on sports = gambling, it really is gambling as you can see gambling is when you put your money by betting it like gambling games you bet the money that you have and that calls for gambling my friend and specially if you are addicted to it then you are a gambler but its fine as long its not every day gambling and so if money is involve on the things you bet on well its gambling whether if it is gambling on sports or online betting's like dota 2 or csgo tournament well other people say its different but its the same if money is involve really its gambling as for me that is Thank you and Good day ^_^

Well in Bitcoin gambling you yourself control the "odd" if that's what they saying is true as you control your risk like 49.5% for a chance to double your bet. Of course even in Sports gambling we don't know who will really win there are many events that can happen while players play the game. Events like a player having an injury mid game, a player fouling our from the game, or even a coach having a technical foul can greatly affect the real outcome of the game in which analysis can be hard.

Well, I also feel like it. bet is the same as gambling, just different types of game. in betting, you also want to win that could make bitcoin or money you have increased, so it is just like gambling. but the bet, we can analyze the possibilities that will happen, like a score that would arise, the player, or any other matter

Gambling is when you play roulette and anything can happen.

Betting sports is gambling, by definition,  gambling is play chance for money, and even the word itself Bet (betting on sport)  Gambling is not limited in Casino only, nor playing luck/chance game.  The same way they tag poker and blackjack as gambling games, so is sports betting because of the word "wager for a stake".

Strongly agreed with you as you said above gambling is not limited only to casino games there, sports betting is clear form of gambling as it also have great risks with it because there is nothing guaranteed with this kind of gambling too, as well as poker and blackjack is also part of gambling where we stake some amount on chance of winning so that I will do agree with you.
