Sports Betting Or Gambling ?

[JohnBitCo]

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 ?

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.

Both are these things are gambling the difference is gambling in a casino means that the favor is always in the houses favor. Sportsbetting you are not betting against the house instead you are betting for the predictions you make and the only thing that changes the odds is the amount of people who have backed those odds. I think it is better to bet on sports because at least you are not trying to beat the odds of the house however yes sportsbetting is still hard because of all the variables. I find sports betting more fun too because you can watch the games fold out while you have a bet on them.

Well, first of all, there are a lot of different people in the world, so for sure there are definitely indifferences between everyone. Maybe one person prefer to have it as a reward and the other one wants it as an instantaneous gambling result. They are both taking risks but one may differ in chances like in sports betting, they have the element of studying the actual team and probably increase the odds of them winning. On the other hand, gambling in roulette or other types of games that depend only on luck, most likely would be hard to predict, hence more risk. It's just that the result of the latter is faster.

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.

It's definitely for money, I don't think it's anything else but that. If they lose, okay, it's for "entertainment".

So this means that chances of winning is more in the sports betting because we are not betting against the house ?

And what about the entertainment factor ?  Watching the game is fun in itself but we are compare purely the gambling entertainment and betting entertainment .

If you are betting to earn money then you are doing it wrong statistically you are not going to earn any money. Most people are in the red from bets. They do it because it is fun. You might win the odd betslip but that will soon disappear if you continue to bet. The only ones which are in the green are those that have won very large amounts and have not gone crazy with their betting since they won that large amount.

So this means that chances of winning is more in the sports betting because we are not betting against the house ?

Not really but kind of because there is a fixed chance that you win in casinos but sports betting it depends on your picks. If you are very good at watching football and know all the teams and players know their weaknesses and strengths you probably have a better chance than most people of winning regularly. Casinos you cannot do that especially on things like slots. You could count cards but that is the only example of being able to change the odds in casinos.

Sports Betting Or Gambling ?

This should have read Sports Betting or casino Gambling as both are types of gambling.

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 ?

Yes they are different, and taking more risk....I think those that are casino inclined take more risks because of the different kinds of strategies that are available to them, Sports Betting as few  betting strategies that can be applied to it say for example hedging which isn't allowed on most platforms, others strategies like martingale can't really be applied to moat Sports games.

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.

Let's call a spade a spade, we all gambling for profits and not fun and games...we might hide under the guise of fun but the primary objective is money am certain not everyone will agree with me

Most of the gamblers had already taken it to the next level where they seem not able to breathe well when any of those two are unavailable to them. Yeah! entertainment is not what they want, rather those profits will make them happy if they ever won. But as you can see, when they lose, there seems no happiness in their faces because they realize what they have done. They just lose it and thinking that will somehow find a way to get back what they've lost.

[Russlenat]

Understand that sports betting is part of gambling, and there are typles of gambling, I like to name few of the most popular that I also played.

1. dice
2. crash game
3. roulette.
4. Poker
5. SPORTS BETTING.

I played more on sports betting because I loved sports, and I also believe that this type of betting does not only won by luck, you can grow here as a gambler and in the long run, you'll improve your skills.

In both gambling and betting, the motive is to earn the money. There is no way that anyone is gambling and did not want to win in the end. Similarly why you bet on matches, because we want to win and earn money otherwise we can get enough entertainment by watching the sports of our choice.

I can't say anything about the types of mindset, but in my opinion, betting is much safer than gambling. Even if you have a serious addiction, due to the fact that sports events are not endless, you make certain pauses in the game and you have a chance to calm down and return to an adequate state, but if you gamble, you can continue to endlessness at any time.

Maybe OP meant gambling are games like dice which are based on luck, for me, sports betting is not purely based on luck, you can use your skills here, so I will go for sports betting than any other type of game. However, we have to understand it has the same risk of losing our money, so we still have to make the right strategy and understand the basics of gambling which is the risk and reward.

It is the motive you want to make money but I think every rationale gambler admits that they are betting against the odds and are unlikely to win in the long term. I have been gambling for many years and I have never profited after all this time. I have won bets but those wins turn into losses after a couple of months. I do not know any one personally who is in the green I only know of certain celebrities which made their career out of gambling. Dan Blitz is one of them.

[ethereumhunter]

I think their mindset is how they can win gambling from their favourite gambling games or sports betting but they use different ways to playing gambling. But both still use money involve to make money and risk more money if they think they can win on the games. But unfortunately, not many of them win on gambling or sports betting because they can not analyze better and do not have luck and mostly, they do not have the luck to win.

By "gambling" do you mean the pure luck games like dice, rocket etc? I am asking this because both "betting" and "dice-like games" are gambling.

More have their own risks. In dice games, math/luck is the only thing that determines the outcome.

In sports betting, you can study teams, statistics, players etc... sometimes you can even get some insider information but when you reach that level it stops being "gambling".

I play both, been with sports betting and then from time to time gamble in slots or crash games or dice or baccarat or roulette (physical casino and crypto based).

Personally, I just love sports betting and gambling so I'm not sure about having a different mindsets.

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.

Of course, I doubt that gamblers are playing for just entertainment, at the end of the day, you want to win. There could be some element of fun involved though.

Just a reminder though, to just play the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

There's pressure if you have a mindset that you can make money in gambling, it's hard to have fun while in the back of your mind you are trying to win for money, it's two things apart you either want to have fun or wants to make money, you could go careless and throw caution to the wind if you just want to have fun but if you want to make money you will employ tricks deep analysis even to the point of adding more money to have a huge bankroll, a player who just want to have fun knows his limitation even if there's a big temptation to go on.

[Wexnident]

It's not about the risk or anything imo, it's about the fun and enjoyment one could get from these two types. Yes, technically speaking, gambling is more risky since it relies more on luck, while sports betting relies more on analytic skills and studying/researching. Ofc in my eyes, the former is easy, and a yolo moment, while the latter is tedious but fulfilling. There are always people who enjoy either of the two, or maybe both of them and really, there's no need to separate the two since, at the end of the day, they're both types of gambling.

Honestly, making money over gambling has never crossed my mind once, it was always the thrill of the possibility of winning big or small. Yes, at the end of the day it's still money, but I never use it outside, I always add it to my funds so that I can play more.

Both are a form of gambling and some people do Sport betting professionally as a primary means of income. You do not need a lot of knowledge and skill to play Slots... but you need a lot of knowledge to be able to bet on all the different Sports.

Poker players also turn professional and they do it as a career... to participate in tournaments... but the average "dice" and "Slot" player do this for fun ...in the hope that they might hit the big jackpot.

We have differences which I guess we can see more and more people like sports gambling because they see fairness to it than playing the casino games like lottery and dice. I both play, particularly in lottery and dice, and then move to boxing if there are interesting fights from the athletes I follow. I just follow some of the people who gave advice in here as they are describing gambling as entertainment.

I don't see any difference at all, they involved putting money and expecting a return, there is risk involved in sports betting too, take the case of the recent Pacquiao - Ugas match, many bet on Manny to win the fight but he losses by unanimous decision on analysis Pacquiao is ahead on experience but that did not happen, betting on dice and betting on sports have the same risk.
