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.
Yes every activity where you involve your money for making it double without any effort can be called as gambling, so If you are putting money on games to make it double is also gambling, but a little bit easy than other formats for gambling as you can use your mind in sports gambling.

Not a gambling? Really? however the condition, you know everything or not, gambling is gambling. You are a league follower, knows the stats is the best way to win in sports betting. Because if you don't know everything, you will get it so hard to win.

Betting on sports is gambling but you can put effort into it and increase your odds. Games like roulette and dice require no skill or knowledge and you are completely at the mercy of the game. But in some games like poker, your skill and knowledge can increase your odds. Same for betting on sports. If you do research on the players, teams, and matchups, you can gain an advantage. It's still gambling, but not necessarily as high risk as roulette.

Thats right without knowledge about the game and just relying with out luck inside sports bets would be a hard work for you. Sports gambling is one of the most played  especially online, gamblers think they have some edge because they can fined some information before placing a bet.

Yeah, luck is not that necessary when it comes to sports-betting. If you are a sports enthusiast you can predict who will win on that game. Rather than playing on some dice, blackjack, or roulettes where luck is needed when you play.

But I am of the view that whenever you bet money in any place in any game or any thing then it is gambling. We call an action as gambling when two or more persons put some money on a thing happening or game and one of them win them all and the remaining lose according to the rule. So in that definition betting on sports is also gambling.

yes i am agree with you, that sports gambling is a little easy than other gambling games as in sports gambling you can use your mind and experience, and not 100% depending on luck, therefore it is a little easy as compare to other gambling games.

each person has a different opinion but, I also felt that it was true. Well, bet the same as gambling. we have the same stake something on a game or a match, and I think it also has the same gift. I also feel that betting requires luck to win, just like gambling. so, it can be said that the same bet with gambling.

Yes gambling, betting and trading also requires luck to have preferable results.

As long as we are not controlling our money and we are taking the risk with our money then there will not be any escape from the dominance of luck factor. The terms gambling and betting can be used interchangeably still they are having significant differences from each other even both of them requires luck.

Thinking of we do not have the control of our money will really make you rely on luck, we have to put in mind that we are in charge of our money, hence we have to decide on what kind of investment we have to try, may it be a low or high risk. Trading for me is a high risk but we can control our money by doing a lot of research to improve our skills, so in the end our decision is only the main source of the outcome.

There are some different between them though. That is because you can not regconize them so you consider gambling is the same as sport betting. In my opinion, sport betting aske players to have more knowledge about sports and requires them to have experience in checking a site, as well as a match before it starts.

Just by saying "betting", that is already gambling. If it's a game of luck and involves losing/winning money, there's no way it can't be called gambling.

It would be more fun when there's a big event that's why sports betting is very entertaining. I do bets in NBA Playoffs because I have to support my favorite teams through my bet, at least when they succeed I can also get a share for their effort with the amount of profit that I will be harvesting.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

Im going to say yes betting on sports are acutually gambling, When you say gambling is all about risking money even 10 year's old may know this what is gambling already because in our generation lot's of people are playing gambling and they getting too addicted into it. It more be fun when you guy's are going to just to bet.

But in my experience there are lots of possibilities to win big even in other types of gambling. I mean to say I am able to win big in almost all types of gambling not just with sports betting. I am unable to differentiate sports betting from some other gambling types because I do see the risk levels and profit levels are same across these two.

yes of course its the same and i agree with that because there is money inside the games and we know that. but for the chances to get winning is more big for betting on sport than gambling.
But in my experience there are lots of possibilities to win big even in other types of gambling. I mean to say I am able to win big in almost all types of gambling not just with sports betting. I am unable to differentiate sports betting from some other gambling types because I do see the risk levels and profit levels are same across these two.


Actually it depends upon the odds you choose on gambling but sportsbetting has same risk to other types of gambling, Best example for these scenario is when you set 50% winning percentage on dice site and choosing 2.0 odds on sportsbetting. If you analyze carefully you have both a chance to win on both game for 50/50 ratio, Because their have same win chance, They just differ on the methodology of winning process

I do agree bet on sports is same as gambling and the chance quite good to win it due to we already analyze the game and players, in the other hand another type of gambling like dice need more cautious and strategy to win even you set the odds and 50:50% chance, the results seems unpredictable and we can't say for sure it's provably fair as it's what the sites told you.
