Gambling and Betting. Why the Distinction?

[AYOBA]

In my own view and the little research betting and the gambling is almost talking in the way, because once you have bet it means you’ve gambled but I wonder why a lot people’s are differentiate them that the betting is the platform of the gambling, but why I said the there all the same thing is that we’ve always refers a gambling a casino and is through casino where getting the spots, because sporting is a word of placing a wager which refers to gambling.

That is your view about the subject, but actually, the distinction between the two is created because one is usually used for gambling as in playing gambling games, and the second one is used for betting as in sports betting. So when someone says that they gamble, they might generally be referring to any of them, but usually, it means that they play games where they bet money, and when someone says they make bets, it means that they are into sports betting and they bet on sports events.

It won't be wrong if you say that both are gambling because they are both different types of gambling, but just for easier understanding, people use these two words to differentiate between the two and for those who have gambling knowledge would easily understand the reference, those with less knowledge might find it hard to understand what someone is talking about.

I was today years old when I found out that if betting and gambling isn't exactly the same thing. If you Google the word betting most of the  results will be in regards to sports betting. Also Google the word gambling and you will see most results refer to casino games. In my own opinion whether we bet on the outcome of a sports event or we bet on games of luck and skill in the casino, they are both the same thing. Which is why I wonder why there is this distinction between the two? Why can't we say casino betting just as we say sports betting or sports gambling just as we refer to the casino when we talk about gambling? I know it sounds weird saying casino betting or sports gambling but what do you think about this?

I don't see much difference between the Gamblinng and the betting. And the difference is only the you mentioned that is the we call gambling when we play on the casino slots games and we call betting when we bet on the sports games. Moreover what I want to say that is betting is the sub-word of Gambling so betting is also gambling so there is no difference is the purpose of these two.

And if we imagine differently then we also do bet while we play the slot games in casino the think is in sports we bet for one team will win from the two team and here we bet against the computer of the Casino slots games.

In fact, in this case the context is the same, namely gambling but the difference may be from the media because sometimes a lot of people think that gambling is only centred on slots, togel or some other games such as poker or card games but they sometimes rule out betting in sports even though it is the same thing where when what is done is betting then it is definitely gambling. It's just that if the bet is only done once in one game but in games like slots or dice it may be done several times in one session.

But all of them have the same view that it is still gambling and I don't think we can rule out anything else because at the end of the day the situation is the same where we are risking our money in any case (which leads to luck in the game) then it is still gambling.

I think gambling is their generic name giving to the process of committing money to something with the expectation that it will generate profits even though this is not guaranteed because of the risk involved. Betting is just the process of gambling, putting money on your prediction. They both are one and the same thing and up to the individual to choose what word is suitable for him. Sometimes both words are used interchangeably because they mean one and the same thing.

I think the distinction between gambling and betting is pretty interesting. Gambling feels like more of a game of chance. You put your money down and hope for the best, whether it's slots, roulette, or lottery tickets.

For me, they are separated by the speed of receiving the outcome. In betting, as a rule, you need to wait for the whole match to understand whether you have won or not. And in a casino, if you play dice or a slot machine, you need literally a few seconds. I the result will be clear. Of course, there are exceptions, such as ping pong, where the outcomes appear quickly, but in general everything is as I described above.

The main difference I’ve noticed is how people use these terms. “Betting” is usually tied to sports because you’re putting money on the outcome based on skill, stats, and analysis, even though luck’s still a factor.

True, luck plays a big role in both betting and gambling. But in gambling there are types of games where the player's entire fate is in the hands of fortune, these are dice and slots. At the same time, in poker, a lot is in the hands of the player, and this is similar to the rules by which the player tries to win money. Analysis, experience and analytics are the common features of poker and betting.

Yeah both betting and gambling also tied with luck though with betting the advantage is if you fully understand the game and you the people behind the sports while with gambling, even you don't know the game as long as you understand how put your bet and how the game works then if luck permits you winning is possible. It's more on how you analyze the sport before selecting or placing your pick as you trusting your research about the team or the player that you are betting with.

Well I see it as the same but when you look at them they mostly looking the same, and of course it seems to be the same since both of them are expectations to win/lose something at the end of the play. So naturally we don't need to paint it very much separate from each others as the ending results is winning or losing.

[Betwrong]

~I know it sounds weird saying casino betting or sports gambling but what do you think about this?

It's all the same thing in my opinion. When you gamble, you put your money at risk in hopes of winning something bigger. And when bet your money, you expect winning your bet, right? As for the odds, they can be over 1,000x in both cases, so, there's no way of distinguishing "gambling" from "betting". I used to think that winning with 100x+ multiplier is much harder in sports betting than in slots or dice, but I was wrong.

To be frank, I was thinking the same thing, dude, is it possible to gamble without betting? then can it be called gambling when you don't bet even though you are inside the casino platform?
It seems weird, right? Why is it necessary to differentiate between gambling and betting?

It seems that in the human body they are both part of one body that they cannot be separated or else they are equally affected by each other,
same with betting and gambling, right?

[Su-asa]

Well to me i still don't see any much difference in them since both are all luck based game and when it dispute the gambling theorem them we can have them being classified separately. In sport betting after having all games selected, there odds are being multiplied by the total amount staked to give a potential winning and these depends on luck for someone to win.

There's a huge difference between them, when it comes to sports betting it doesn't involve a lot of luck because they are just based on skills. A lot of people that are into sports betting make random selections or copy bets from other people instead of understanding the dynamics behind the market. Some people pick options in sports betting without even understanding what it means. In order for you to have significant wins in sports betting you must be good with strategical analysis. Casino gambling on the other hand has no skill involved, it's based on luck.

Yes, I can assume that what you said is true, and maybe I will also say another difference between the two activities, which in betting besides you have to wait for the time to wait for the results, you also need to wait for the game schedule to start, or what I mean is you can't bet all the time that runs, in the sense that the time for you to bet depends on an event such as when a match in a league starts, and of course it is different from online casinos which you have explained simply in the sense that a gambler can bet anytime and anywhere without being limited by time and the results also come out immediately at that time.

This thread was created since April 10, 2024, 10:57:19 PM and I have not seen it. This is he first time of seeing the thread. And let me go straight to the discussion at hand. There is no need for dictionary or google meaning to know the difference but from their usage, we know the differences. And there is no too much different between the two. Gambling is the general name for anything concerning money exchange to maximize profits from prediction. And betting is also an activity of prediction therefore it is gambling.
Betting is basically for anything concerning sports games like, football which is the father sport, Tennis, Boxing and others while slot, Spin games are for casino games.

True, which means that betting fans wait for the game from the beginning, sometimes even several days and weeks, the casino is ready to pay for the game at any time for gamblers. Also in gambling there are games where everything is given into the hands of fortune, and in sports there are so many pure chances, everything is determined by human factors and the skills of athletes. There you can see very complex constant results. For example: 50 to 50. There is always someone objectively stronger.

You do not have to be good with strategical analysis because there are sites that we can use for our prediction and at times they can be correct although there are more times when they're wrong. There are sites that gives us head to head for two teams playing and also recommend for us which team is going to win and from this information, we can make our decision also considering the current form of the two teams. Sport betting is not that hard to do and this is what is making this type of betting more popular than casino games. Sport betting attract people without any gambling background and they win without knowing anything although having some knowledge about the sports and teams that you will be betting on is an advantage for you as it will help you to make better decisions and win.

with gambling with sports betting, it may also be seen from several other things, with slot gambling which is actually pure with luck playing a big role, it is real, but even so there are people who believe in the strategies that other people spread when they manage to get big wins like streamers who clearly always get big wins and provide strategies for people who watch them to try their luck even though it's just a trick to attract more people.

with sports betting itself, maybe this is a little different because our skills and good knowledge can increase the chances of winning even though it ultimately leads to luck that will determine the end but sometimes not all are like that, there are sports bets that can indeed be predicted correctly just by looking at the quality of each team that will compete.
And maybe more people enjoy doing slot gambling because it is easy to do.

I also think that betting fans are quite a united community, a community that constantly communicates and discusses something. What is our topics in Gambling worth, where guys constantly chat about matches that have been played and will soon be played. It feels like there are no such lively and stormy discussions among gamblers on casino or card games.

Gambling is the same as betting in as much as we are betting with money. This is why we keep seeing many gamblers always active to make more money for themselves. Gambling is all about money and how we can make more by playing games or making a pledge with our funds that the team we have chosen is going to come out as winner. There is more to gambling and we ought to always prepared before we make any advances to use our funds in betting. There are so many games or live matches we can bet on without going to far from our comfort zones to make financial decisions that can yield more money for us.

I don't know why some of you guys are not getting a simple thing. Everyone knows that when you make a bet, whether it's in a gambling game, a sports event, an election, or anything in general, you are basically gambling because the term gambling is what we use when we stake something valuable to win something with it, but there is a distinct difference between gambling and betting when they are used in general when we are either speaking or writing, and the difference is that gambling is used to refer to playing gambling games such as roulette, dice, slots, etc. And when someone says betting, they are generally referring to sports betting, and making bets on specific events.

It's such a simple thing to understand, there isn't any need for any analogy or anything, it's as simple as that. I don't say that you can't called sports betting gambling because it is gambling of a sort, but when I say I do betting, it means I'm referring to sports betting in general and if I want to say I play games with money, I would say I gamble.

It comes down to terminology and how both words are used but essentially
the two words mean the same thing.

I place bets on teams to gamble an amount of money  in the hopes they win and I
get a reward. Nobody says "I put a gamble on a team" Just words used
in different circumstances.

I wonder if there is a more negative outlook to "Gambling" rather than "Betting"?
