No it is not gambling it is betting because betting is on sports and gambling is on casino things and that 2 things dont have nothing connected only 2 things are connected and that is luck and you can win or lose.
But you can notice that there is one thing happens in both of them and that is betting our money to get others money. In sports betting we bet our money on sports while in casino games we bet our money on these games which are played in casinos.

yes these both are gambling as in both of these we depend on luck and in both of these we win money from other and also a chance of lose is always available at there. the only difference is that sports betting is easy gambling while playing games is hard type of gambling.

Exactly, both are same. Sports betting is a part of gambling, and gambling is here, than we can play sports betting, Otherwise if no concept of gambling, than nothing is here in sports betting, and other games where we do bet.
I am not agree on it, that sports betting is a different way and gambling is also a different way, both are same and both have same ways, no different with each other.   
Actually some people consider luck based games as gambling and brain or skill based games as investment, I never quite got it why because betting means betting and even if luck plays a 1% role in deciding the result then its gambling.
While I do not like to play sports betting much but actually its best form of gambling to date till now.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

What you think? Putting money in sports is already considered as gambling you can't play or bet without money you can't able to afford to bet if you don't have money on your hand or any balance from your wallet accounts. Betting on sports is a gambling how you can win money if you don't play with your money.

Betting on sports too will be considered as gambling. Anything in which you risk your earnings for a better profit depending upon the odds selected in accordance to luck and strategies can be considered as gambling.

Lol gambling does not need casino to be made.  Once there is a wagering, a stake, and chance of winning is presence, then it is gambling.  You can search in the internet what is gambling and you can see that what you have stated somehow does not make sense .  Another thing is gambling is a game of chance, not a game of luck.

Yeah I agree with you mate. It is a game of chance for which you need a lil luck so that you dont end up losing a 98% chance winner.

Gambling is defined as putting money and having the desired result, which is winning. And for that concept alone, you can say that sports betting is equal to gambling. Once you wager or thinks about the odds of winning, that's already gambling. Anything that risks money is already gambling.
