the difference between game and gamble?

[iv4n]

Many times asked question, what is the difference between gambling and just playing games. Simply when you play games and you put bets its gambling.
Curios people will search what kind of games there is, and how to turn games into gambling, I'm one of them I like to know things, and to see how its working, to try to be smarter and win, for me gambling is good brain activity.

It's simple, "MONEY" or anything that has value being risk, that's what makes a game a gamble, without money game will always be game and nothing more, it is the one that should entertain people and not gambling... It's both addictive but games won't cost you too much money and won't frustrate you... Games could even sharpen your mind and gambling just make you believe that you did thinking a lot...  

[equator]

Game is the game where money is not involved , its purely for fun and nothing else,

Gambling is the game where money is involved and risk of profit and loss is their. some of them are taking gambling as game but at certain level when they lose high they start to take it serious.

This is the main difference between game and gambling

Yes the difference of game and gamble is just money and something you bet on it. For example if you are playing Soccer with your friends, you make an agreement, The winner will get a money or something like that it is gamble. And if you are playing soccer with your friends and at the end of the game you are not get anything no matter you win or lose it is game.

If you play a games for money than its gambling.In gambling i think it's all about luck.Going to risk money just try if you're luck or not.It's gambling.

I think same game if you play just for fun and no money involve then it's just a game.

Well for me game is a general term that has several types. Gambling is a kind of game where you put in wagers. So i don't think you can really differentiate as they dont belong to the same category.

No you are mistaken then, gambling means the incentive of prize or wining is there while gaming is like playing games like we play car racing lol .. to simply more gambling is based on games by adding some competition and fair challenges. While house doing the hard work keeps a little bit of profit from your winnings.

[Mr.grin]

gambling is when you bet on something, such as a football game or any other thing. gambling games are games in which you risked something, but winning or losing depends on the way you play. So you like to control their own finances if during the game. Well, maybe like it

The gambling is an activity and Game is an event. But both comes on the same platform. We do gambling activities on games. Means the cricket is a game and we do betting on this event. So here betting is called a gamble.

[emberbekas]

Game is an activity that mainly depends on skill to win it. And the main reason why we play a game is mainly to gain some fun. While gamble is an activity to get some profit because in this kind of activity, we risking money or other valuable stuffs.

[YTBitcoin]

The games are only for entertainment for all ages of people like children can also play games and it is mostly for kids and children but gambling is not a place for children only adults can gamble as it involve high risk and money.

[kodes88]

I think Gamble is a game, but there is other thing that makes gamble is a bit different with game. That other thing is you bet something on gamble to get another profit on it. Like bet money to get money. And game is just an ordinary thing, you can play it safe with whoever you want without any risk.
Gamble has more risk than a game.

The difference between game and gamble It's really simple:

Games for fun
Gambles for profit

Games+Gambles= Fun and profit 

Haha very innovative explanation actually game means where we are not involved financially while gamble means we are more financially involved than emotionally. Its like kids play games and elder people like us gamble. But hey don't mistake me, gamble is worst than gaming.

[ethereumhunter]

i really love to play game, offline and online, but i don't think i am like to play gamble as much as people do because in gambling, i should use my money to win the games and i am too afraid if i've got loss.

[novemberwoah]

The difference between game and gamble It's really simple:

Games for fun
Gambles for profit

Games+Gambles= Fun and profit

Yes very interesting explanation from him You're right, the point is not necessarily enter into the game of gambling because not all games require a bet, but all games that require betting is already included into gambling. So indeed gambling including into the game, the only difference is their bets in the game.

yes but there is also a big problem about this definition which is actually one of the biggest problems many of gamblers have. and that problem is about the "Profit" part of it which is highly unlikely in the long run. in other words it is not possible to make profit from gambling in the long run. you may get lucky and make some in short term but after a while if you look back at your total you can see that you have lost more than you could make.

[rickadone]

the difference is only wordplay
and also you can say that gambling is a sub-category of games. which means you are playing a game when you are gambling but not gambling if you are playing a game.

generally a gamble is when you are risking money and making a bet on something that depends on luck and nothing else. that's why poker is also a gamble despite being a game of skills.

Yes, even gaming can become gambling when money and challenges are introduced within itself. Spending money to buy tricks/perks/add-on in a game is not called gambling though, any game where you compete to win more than you risk is called gambling. But, I Believe both gaming and gambling will give you addiction if you overstay with it.

Yes, gambling is too worst than gaming. I agree that games are made for our entertainment and fun. But Gambles is not made for profit. Yes actually the equation is like this

Games + Gambles = Fun and Loss ( this is for players )

Games + Gambles = Investment and profit ( this is for house owners )

Is this correct?

This is really correct,  good equation in here bro . Making gamble   just for  fun  would surely take  up  more loss  compared to  the  house  itself. They would surely make  profits from its players. Lossers are  more  on  count compared to winners. Game and Gamble  is somehow  the same  because they are both games  but   when  we say gambling  already  it  means  it has a money  involve in here.

Gamble is you have to bet something in order to play where you can earn something also. Generally money is always involve in gambling. A game is just pure entertainment, the only thing you get from a game is satisfaction by playing that game.

[--DarkSecrets--]

This two words have similarities but too different meanings as i will describe it on my own words and opinion.
The word Game is an entertainment kind of activity to play or to watch and To Gamble the word itself is to have play on it and put a bet .When this acts combined together it will be called now as gambling.

It all is very true and also gambling always give harm to those who do bet. So if it's always done every day or all the time then it will only give a bad impact for the future and also if it can not control myself when doing gambling, there is a possibility that all the funds that owned will be used and that can be very dangerous for the continuation of their life in the next day. Did gambling wisely then it would be better
