there is still much confusion about the definition of gambling, including me. Especially about the difference between Betting and Gambling, despite the fact that I think Betting and Gambling it is the same thing. So here I want to know "What is the most correct definition for gambling?"

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

If you ask me betting is a form of gambling. Gambling imo is simply risking currency for the chance to get more. Betting would then fall under that definition.

Gambling is something you risk for a desired results(maybe money or something valuable). While betting is an act of gambling which is usually use for any games like race, sports or any unpredictable events. Betting is just the act of gambling. So betting is under gambling. But these both are the same.

The definition is very confusing sometimes since some people consider poker a form of gambling. Poker has a great deal of skill in order to win but there's also a lot of luck involved. So the quesiton here would be: where do we draw the line between gambling and skill? how much % of the activity is gambling and for much is skill? is there any skill to be found in dice and slot machines? i dont think so.

Gambling = wining depends upon your pure luck
Betting = wining depends on luck and skill of others (like players of sports, if you are betting on sport matches).

Don't be confuse about it, betting is simply gambling. And this answer was right: If you ask me betting is a form of gambling.
Betting is a form of gambling and you should not be confuse with it as this goin' to be the nature of gambling. Betting on a certain game and risking your money for some matches then you are gambling your money. And for my definition with gambling, it is something you are risking your money with unknown results. |

definition? risking your money with unknown results.
that's a perfect definition in my opinion. about the difference in gambling and betting, well, to me it's the same... there's no difference if you have a strategy or something like, still the same. if you are professional at some sport, still the same sport, right? the difference is you. |

"What is the most correct definition for gambling?"
There will not be anything like that, because every people will be having different opinion on gambling. If I say something about the entertainments what we may get from gambling that will not be appropriate to another gambler who is gambling for making fortunes. So, there will not be any possibility for finding a most correct definition for gambling. |

That is the point, when we are not having the right answer for why we are having gambling, then I too believe it is not possible to define gambling more precisely. |

Gambling means when you play a bet in which you are expecting a result for which you have something (I mean money) on stake and you are basically getting some odds (chances) of winning for the same, each having different odds.

Gambling--- That illusion that tells you by betting some money on a specific game or event will make you a lot of money without having to work hard for that.
Well...... unfortunately as said in the sentence above it's just an illusion. Gambling is an illusion we all have some time.

Gambling is form of entertainment where it is associated with some tricks and have a chance of winning by simply 'betting' into a particular game.
And betting is an act of gambling so don't get yourself very confuse from defining gambling and betting as the same activity.
Almost all of the definition here given by our mates are certainly correct.

Betting is a part of gambling because gambling term is used for all kinds of games played using money and you got a chance of winning and losing money. But betting term is mostly used for specifically with some odds like in sports betting. |

Gambling is a game where players bet to select one option among several options where only one option is right and be a winner .. The person who loses the bet will give the pot to the winner. Regulation and the number of bets is determined before the game starts. So if we talk where betting position, which is in gambling. Because each of us like to gamble would have bet before.

Gamble when you playing or involving money in your game placing bet's or betting in games and chance of winning money it is already a gambling. Betting = Gambling taking risky action in the hope of a desired result That's the real definition for gambling to me and i don't know to others if we have the same thoughts. |

I see here is just the same answer, The answer that say that gambling and betting is the same things, but in a different word.
So we all can say Gambling and betting is the same things. Maybe there is a little difference between them,
but a whole definition is a same definition,

It is not clear because like i aid before, some people think there is skill in gambling, some other people think there is no skill in gambling and it's raw luck.
Poker = gambling or a game of skill?
Dice = gambling or a game of skill?
etc
It's very hard because some people consider gambling to be true for certain games and others don't.

I think poker is a game that uses skill, because it is very clear in poker we really think to win. While Dice is a game that really uses luck. Because there is nothing great, all the same. |
