They are same, betting is almost gambling, betting means do research and taking the risk. Gambling means randomness like baccarat and blackjack, and sports are also random results.
Agree, and sports betting once you've bet money in the game, that will be always be called gambling because there is already money involve in the game.

yes it's definitely gambling because i was considers if any chance to lose or win it's must be gambling although do not play some particular game and only for betting
yes no doubt about this but to me gambling on sports is little easy as here you can use your skill and experience with luck and so you can really make money easily that any other format of gambling.

Who people can say that sports betting is not gambling? sports betting is totally gambling since we are hear that terms of bet it should be called gambling.. if its money involve its should be gambling.. no can say that is not a gamble because you can see those sports betting in some sites here. that involves in bitcoin..

Gambling has very simple definition where money has risks it's pure gambling, sports betting is also form of gambling but some people have very good percentage of return, that could be big reason why people think like this sports betting is not gambling.

from the words itself betting its another form of gambling what's good here is you have some advantage if you really knew
the game well because in sports betting its easy to gamble just choose the best team.

Other all gambling games  sportsbetting   is somehow  a good  game though with  higher  chance of winning  on  selecting the best team. Back on the topic  Betting on sport is actually a gambling game because you are risking your  money to win  money and  thats considered already as  gambling.

Betting on sport = gambling is definitely correct because once you bet in sportbook like in directbet.eu is consider as a branch of gambling and in short its gambling.

Yes, for me its also a gambling also. there is money involved and it cause addiction also like any betting game.But if you bet on regular season with a family to watch together,its a good bonding moments but doing it everyday just to think for winnings not a good sign.

Agree betting games is really belongs to gambling as long as money is involve it will called gambling. I do agree betting games like sports is really addicted like me when NBA playoffs comes i do bet frequently and now  the playoff season starts i start also betting but i keep loosing now .

I think all games that require betting that includes gambling. Bet on sports that include gambling because we had to guess who wins the bet. Bet included into gambling, because each of us wants to gamble should definitely have bet beforehand.

If it can cause you to lose anything based on a wager then yes its gambling.
But you can do something with sport betting that is impossible with traditional casino games.
You can use arbitrage - this way you won't lose single penny on any of your bets.
It is not exactly easy and it require a knowledge how to do it, but it is a sure way of gaining profits.
But for the average person they will see loses.
So like is said still a gamble, since there is any number of unforeseen factors.

Betting on sports is obviously gambling because you are risking money and anything where luck is needed I think is gambling.

Investing and trading also involve risking your money for a profit yet no one calls it gambling. Sports betting has something in common with the former as you can try to predict outcomes by reasoning.
So, is sports betting a sort of gambling? Yes, because its outcomes are much more random than in trading or investing, so it's very hard to have reliable profit from it, which makes it gambling by definition.

first and foremost there is google you can look here Tongue if you are wagging money on an uncertain outcome it is termed as gambling and so does sports betting Wink

I agree that anything that is uncertain of the result and involved betting money is gambling.  Sports Betting is no difference.  Since we are uncertain who the winner will be even if we have statistics and data that show someone is underdog doesn't mean that the guy will lose.  There are lots of proven fact about underdog winning the competition and the one who has advantage eat the dust.

In general , yes it is .Anything involved, jewelry ,car ,etc or place on a bet it is still considered and called as gambling esp. money on betting theres no difference there .

Indeed gambling has very large definition where we put our money risk that is gambling of course, sports betting also have risks and that is why there is no difference between sports betting and playing on dice, sports betting is less risky because it is all based on our experience and knowledge.

I totally agree with you that sports betting is less risky as you can get full details about the match and the teams who are going to play with their previous records , so with this help you can prepare a report of the upcoming match result, if you take less risky bet then surely you will be in profit but in other gambling dice and casino games what ever strategy you do you will be in loss at the end.

No, sports betting has the same risks as gambling in a casino where the odds might change and go against your favor.
It is not inevitable that if you go for less risky bet, the same person or team will win the match.
I watch Soccer and I am fan of that sport, and one thing is for sure in any sport that anything can happen and even a 100th ranked team could defeat champions if that's not their day.
