Sports Betting Or Gambling ?

[skarais]

Do we have a difference between sports betting and gambling?
I consider these two variables to be both gambling and do not see either of them as anything else outside the context of gambling. Both types of gambling can make you happy and can also make you money but can also make you lose. I don't really like sports betting, but I really like other gambling like dice and slots. We have our own preferences for games depending on what games they like.

There are people who play gambling only while there are others who prefer betting only.
Do you think both of these type of people have different mindset and one of them is willing to take more risk than than others ?

It depends upon personal preference, i used to gamble a lot when dice was around and during that time there is nothing much to do with the cryptocurrency we hold and may be so is the reason i spent a lot of time gambling and when sports book started to launch i started hooking onto them because earlier i was betting with fiat currency and the cryptocurrency market was dope even though the odds were not that great during that period.

Also do think that gambling is for the entertainment and earning money too but people do betting only to earn money and there is no element of fun involved in it.

I cannot talk about others, but i only do it for the entertainment and the thrill, betting only in matches i watch and you will be more involved in the sport rather than blind betting and it is fun.

Sports betting for me is for addition of entertainment. Sometimes you don't feel the excitement anymore when watching a game, so adding a bet will change that.
I don't know about how others feel about it but that's for me.
Cards, dice, poker or other types of games I enjoyed before when I was just a starter, but as it goes on doing it every day or night, it becomes different.
Being succumb in greed is what makes the game is about money. That's the time it's difficult to enjoy it particularly if you are on the losing side.

First of all I do think that when people try their luck in sports gambling, they know much better regarding what they are doing and they already have an idea of the outcome. It's really competitive and at the same time people are more well informed about their decisions. When you do consider normal betting I do think that you have to realize that, it's more fun and entertainment but on a different level. These people are just into having fun for the moment since the games are mostly unpredictable. Dice, crash etc, these games comes with a lot of fun and with a lower chance of winning.
I do think that at the end of the day, it depends on your mood and it also depends on what might interest you. Gambling/ sports betting is something that is very different but serves the same purpose. ( People have fun, don't they)

People who like sportsbooks don't necessarily like gambling in other games. but people who like gambling can bet on any game. what more if it's a sportsbook about football or basketball or other mainstream sports that have big fans. I think its reasonable. there are people who get more hype watching their favorite team's while betting.

Isn't the fun part of the entertainment, for example, you gamble just for fun, of course indirectly you feel entertained. Well, about everyone who places gambling as a means of making money or multiplying it with the hope of getting more, it doesn't mean looking for entertainment, but there is something that does become a strong impetus. Because he used to gamble automatically he mastered what he was looking for to make money.

Is it not that money matters on everything irrespective betting and gambling. I mean, those who bet wont try on gambling? or those who gamble, does not try to bet? I am sure they would try to for both as long as they are sure on whom they are betting and how they are gambling. However, one might stick with one after a several attempts on either betting or on gambling.

People are free to choose whatever they like the most, if they prefer sport betting as they like the idea of adding even more fun to the sport they prefer then they can do so, and if they prefer to concentrate in games that are exclusive to the casinos then they can do the same, personally I like both and I just pick the one I feel like at the moment, and about making money with gambling we know it is possible but only a minority can do it so do not concentrate too much on that topic.

Yes, we all have different tastes, and if people like betting and are content with it, there's nothing we can do about it because it's their personal pleasure. Sports betting is also a form of gambling, so I'm not sure what the big distinction is. Both are forms of amusement that come with risks, as winnings in sports betting aren't assured because anything may happen in sports. And, moreover, you're rooting for your favorite team, which is why you're betting on them, so it indicates you're still having fun with it.

The only question that really needs to be asked is whether the house (the casino/sportsbook) has a long term edge over the gambler. They almost always do, every sportsbook will be backed large and up to date statistical analysis across every sport they allow you to bet on. Over the short term a person might be able to out-think them on a few odds and make a profit, but if you play for long enough then you're basically competing against artificial intelligence with much more information than you could possibly process. Virtual casino games are even worse because there are fixed odds across all games which you mathematically cannot defy. Both types of gambling companies have been making record profits from bored people during Covid, that should tell you everything you need to know.

Betting and gambling pretty much fall under the same boat which is gambling of course. To see people preferring one over the other is fairly normal and is to be expected from our pattern-loving brains. Plus, it all depends on what sports is it they are betting on. Some games are pretty much coin-flip while others may be well-predicted through research and information gathering, but in essence these two are one and the same.

I completely agree with this claim but then again the house will always do its best to win even when you're winning. A house that is not winning will not be able to Garner customers anyway. This is why gambling should only be taken as a recreational activity and never as a primary source of income, because you can never win against the house.

Does betting is just the same with gambling? It is just the same and they do only differ out in terms on how its been done or on the things get involved because if we do try to look upon then

they are been differently been executed and of course it is different in terms of games been played but in overall or general essence it is really just the same. Luck based and Strategic based..

Its up to someone on which one he would really be engaging on because each of us does have its own preference on the game that we do tend to play.
