For me of course it's a gambling one since you gamble on your money by betting on an event that could either lead you to win or losses so it's rather a self explanatory one on this case regardless of what some sites might say about it.
yes that is a fact and there is no doubt about this that betting on sports is also gambling, and that is also a fact that every activity in which there is a chance to winning and loosing money without any effort is gambling, therefore sports betting is also a type of betting.

For me, both are same things, Because the way is same and give us result it is also same, I mean we use money and it is depend on our luck, many time we lose and some time we win, But the different is people more than play sports betting instead of other gambling, because many people like it than other gambling. 
They are not both for me because they are one, what the OP is trying to tell is that sports betting is gambling? Big question for him but actually a simple answer if you do not complicate things. Any game that involves money as bet is always gambling therefore sports betting is gambling.

Yeah that's correct actually sports betting is just one type  of gambling. It's like poker, or dice or lucky 9. Difference is just that sports betting doesn't rely mainly on luck unlike most gambling games but as you've said, anything that has wagers can be considered as gambling

True. Sports betting really doesn't need a luck not like other gambling games. All you have to do is to check stats the desired team that you're going to bet to. Winning percentage is higher for sports betting.

So, what the different between me and your answer, You should have to carefully to reply, because i am also saying same thing, IF you read this thread carefully than you know question is that, Someone ask us Betting on sport = gambling?
And i reply Yeah, both are same thing for me, because sports betting is a part of gambling, no separate with each other.

Ofcourse its a yes, all betting games is called gambling from the word itself betting or putting a bet to win in a game .
Many games also called as gambling because of betting any amount on it ,but it is not bad at all as long as you can control yourself on amount that you spend on gambling.

Of course betting on sport = gambling because it's not like you research things and then bet on a team who will win most likely and you have your bet back doubled. It's not like that, because it's not only you who can do the research. So if the chances of a team to win are high you should risk say 1 BTC in order to get 0.1 profit in case of winning. Same thing with the dice gambling for example when you bet with 90% win chance.

Yes betting in sport is the same as gambling because we spend money to make a profit if you win, and it's very dependent on luck. All the games are not necessarily enter into gambling but all games that require betting that includes gambling.

Yes it is or else what it will be called. You do not know where the game will go, if already their is being fixing done among the players, captain etc then it will turn out otherwise and maximum people who bets will lose as even the best side lose to low rank team in fixing or take the game to near end and loses in the end.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

No Bro Gambling Can Not be Considered as Gambling Because There is a Big Difference Between Gambling and Sports Betting, In Sports Betting Your Knowledge and Experience Works But In Gambling is Based On Luck.....

I think you miss understanding what gambling and sports betting are. The gambling has two types of games one is luck base games called slot games. Another one is skill games called sports betting and other knowledge base games.The sports betting is the part of the gambling. So if you do sports betting, then it is called gambling.

that is not completely right because even in sports betting or even in any other kind of betting that is based on skills and experience like poker for example, there is still a big factor called luck which is still effective enough to consider the game as a "gambling" game.

if you have ever made any bets on sports or any of these skill based games you know that there are times when you are sure that you will win but when the time comes, you lose! despite all the skills and experience!

Betting on something is always called gambling. Not just on betting in a sport. Like in real life we always bet on to something even if we don't know what will be the outcome. That is already called gambling or for a better term risk taking.
Sports betting is one of the most popular form of gambling so definitely the answer is yes, we are betting in sports because that is more fun and we believe we have more chances to win because the data are present ant it is transparent game, we can see them playing so that gives more confidence.

Yes, definitely. The definition of gambling means "play games of chance for money" or "take risky action in the hope of a desired result". Betting on sports just because you have some knowledge on it doesn't mean it's not a risky action. Anything where you are risking money without a guaranteed profit is considered gambling.

Since betting on sports has something to do with the talent, I don't consider it at gambling.
I agree on this if we want to do sports betting means we should have more knowledge on sports. And yes this is something to do with talent. But only with the talent we can not make money in gambling. We need investment to make a profit in gambling. So if we invest money means we are putting our money at risk. If we put our money at risk, then it is called gambling.

Sportsbetting , dice , plinko , bingo , raffle , lottery they are all a form of gambling . They are just different ways of games but as long as there is a money involve to win or to lose it is still a gambling. As long as there is a risk that you can lose or you can win money.
Yeah as long as there are money related to bet it is going to be considered as gambling. And all you have said are types of gambling games. Even if you are going to do trading that is going to be considered as gambling too because you are going to risk your money but good thing that it is lesser risk rather than gambling, because it has the highest risk.

Definitly when betting with money = gambling already it's like any other gambling activities like betting on casinos see there are no difference there's the word betting and if you are playing or placing your money to any team then its gambling.
