Since betting on sports has something to do with the talent, I don't consider it at gambling.

Whenever or what game you are involving money we can really called it "GAMBLING" because we are betting money and if we are going to bet then its already considered as gambling betting on sports betting on cards dice etc when you are involving money that's gambling.

Yes betting on sport is a gamble.. because when you bet it means that your predicting to an uncertain outcome. Just like gambling your trying to predict the outcome of which game you're playing.

The word betting makes it gambling, and actually FYI, sports betting is the largest form of gambling and they are a billion dollar industry. Gamblers prefer sports as they have the time to analyze the event using their capping skills and that is good because they can exercise their skills in capping games. Personally, I love sports betting since it is more entertaining that the other gambling game.
I agree with you the sports betting is the largest betting activities in the gambling world. This will give high revenue to the casino owners. According to my knowledge those who are using Bitcoin, out of 10 people min 7 people will do sports betting. Now you only tell me sports betting is gambling or not?

Exactly. It's one of those gambling games that you can easily earn big money from but is also very prone to rigging due to the amount of money it generates

The answer is in your question itself. It is gambling. Or betting. Same difference.
Anyways, it's gambling because you're taking a chance, taking a risk with your money or possession in an event that you hope you will win.

Sports betting is gambling and I take it this way like many other people. Since there is nothing sure about the outcome of your bet ending at profit or with some loss. This is gambling's universal explanation where you have even a loosing chance of 0.01% it will be gambling. Whereas in sports betting chances of loosing are much more higher but lesser than other kinds of gambling.

I don't think that betting on sport can be considered as gambling. It is, as poker, all a matter of skill, that can, however, being altered by a luck factor.

If you are really careful with betting and have source to get some inside news than it's not a gambling, but I personally would like to say this sports betting is very similar to any other casino game and it is gambling in definition of risk factor.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.


Absolutely yes, Aslong as you are betting, not only money or any crypto or any currency it is still gambling. You can call it gambling if you are risking something in return and losing something when you loss the bet.

That is true gambling has simple definition if we are going to put our money on risk than it is pure form of gambling, we have a lot of examples about this when we lost our money on very strong teams, than nobody can deny this fact sports betting is also form of gambling.

yeah it definitely is gambling. though it's one of those gambling games that gives you a better chance of winning since it doesn't rely mostly on luck.

Huh? you are betting so it means that is gambling. Your putting your btc/money into risk in order to grow. Dont you think that it still not a gambling? taking risk?

yeah, anything that has risks in my opinion is dangerous and anything that can no be predicted is considered a dangereous gambling.
so even in sports betting if you are sure of your bets that you make that doesn't change it at all. it would still be a dangaerous gambling and you are not safe from it.

Yeah it is the same because you do not know who is going to win the match so you do not not the outcome so you take a gambling.
That means that you are gambling and rely on luck about who is going to win the match.
I agree completely because when you are putting money or something else on the game then you are making a bet.
Only when you are playing for fun with nothing on the line then I would consider it just a game.

By definition on dictionary, the word "gamble" means "to play a game in which you can win or lose money or possessions". http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gamble So of course, sports betting is a form of gambling.


One can argue from that definition that you're not playing a game, you're betting on a game.
Yeah I would say that betting on sport games is gambling because you do not know the outcome of the game and you are putting money on the game.
but if a good team plays a bad team you now who has the advantage and who will most likely win the game.
