Yes sport betting is gambling, because it has odds and it can increase or decrease your money, but sport betting is a more to skill gambling, not like the one that only rely on luck, the winning chances for sport betting is bigger when you got the skill

Of course it's gambling.  There is a little skill involved in making your choice but it's still a game of chance.  That  sounds a whole lot like gambling to me.

Of course it is. As long as the word "betting" of money is involve it is called gambling on whatever you do. I know there are people that would say that it's not but the truth is, it really is.
thats true, sports are definitely gambling and nothing else, in my opinion it is hard to win it
That is true that sports betting is also gambling as there we bet for our money to win or lose but it is not true that it is hard to win as if we look at other gambling ways then there we have to rely only on luck while in sports betting we also have to rely on our knowledge.
Yeah of course betting on sport games is also gambling because your are betting you money on the team that you think is going to win.
You do not know the outcome of the game so you take a gamble, that is gambling.
I agree your are betting your money on a team without knowing if they are going to win so you are making a bet.
Putting money on sports games is as much betting as playing roulette or slots at a casino.

Betting on sport is a gamble if you are betting without edge by randomly guessing. Sports betting and poker are the only form of gambling that can be turned into investing because its a skilled base game and if the skill is used you can make a living from sports betting. There are plenty of good articles here http://bettingresource.com/articles.html about how to turn sports betting into a success full long term investment. I discovered them around 2007 and that was the turning point of my life. I slowly built my capital and now I have financial freedom of not having to work. I have more time to do things i love like traveling and spend time with loved ones. Its all about self control and discipline. I recommend everyone to read those articles. If you are going to follow the picks from there, make sure you have betting accounts with books that can cater to long term winners. Most books will kick you out or limit you after 2 to 3 months of using their picks.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

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.

But from that bet, you're either losing money or winning money, so still, it is called gambling. No matter whether you play that game or not but when you bet on the individual match where you got a chance of losing or making money than it is gambling.
yes you are playing with fate gambling is a matter of chances so even sports game if theres a bet which is included o money or things that you can win or lose it is still gambling no matter what form it is.
Lately, I am not having a good results in sports betting, most of my selection are not falling the right way. Maybe I should start fading myself and honestly that is not entertaining because you did your research on which team has the advantage and you just know that the other team won.

But, if you are a gambler and want money, we will sacrifice our emotion and do it with our brain.
hope you are not victimized by fixed gambling i know the feeling of losing money on the part that you already done your research but luck didn't permits you to win but as the gamblers said no way to quit but to play more smarter.

yes no doubt about this. that biting on sports is also gambling and i think it is less risky than any other game of gambling, actually in gambling you always find a chance to recover your position in any stage of the game. therefore it is more profitable and less risky than any other type of gambling.

Of course it is gambling as long as you bet your money and has the chances to win or to lose it, then its gambling and to add it up, when a games got odds then that games is consider as gambling and sport betting is easier to make profit

I also will do agree sports betting is just form of gambling because there is no guarantee anybody will make profit there all the time and every time, yesterday I lost my bet on very strong side Barcelona and it lost there and I lost my money on it.
When sports are highly unpredictable how we could expect sport betting would be more profitable all the times. But compared to gambling, sports betting are having some chances to apply our knowledge and experience when we are familiar with a sports person/team.

But, expecting consistent profits from sports betting will disappoint any gambler because sports betting is also a type of gambling.

Yes sure because it's gambling you can win or lose with your money.
I have also done this a couple of times and what I did most of the time was betting much money on a good team that was playing a lesser team.
This way you have a bigger chance of winning because the team you put money on is better.

Yes, on doing sports betting we would surely  bet on the  better  team compared to another  but   we could  not guarantee anytime  on our bets  because there are some scenarios that results would be opposite and thats the  essence on making gambling. It may rely also  to luck. Indeed betting  on sports  is  also gambling.

The word betting comes with any name it is called gambling. So sports betting also gambling. There is no difference in between these two terms. In sports betting, we invest money to players or teams to double our money. So in a sense, we are putting our money in a risk. Then this is nothing but gambling.

Yes ofcourse it is a gambling also because it dealing with money and if you're betting it's called gambling already if you can see you are involving money there try to play gambling you are dealing with mone also the same with betting on sports.

it is true that where ever money is involved and their is some type of winning or loosing then it is called gambling but in sports gambling you can earn by doing small research and analysis but in casino gambling it is totally luck based.

If we put our money in a risk to double our money, then this is called gambling. So the sports betting also gambling. Because here we are placing our bet through our personal money. Means putting our money at risk. So according to me the sports betting and gambling both are same.
Exactly the word betting makes it gambling, and you cannot underestimate sports betting as based on my research the sports industry are more profitable combined the music and movie industry, they are a billion dollar industry that's why you can see games being fixed.

That is the reason nowadays we can't predict results so accurately just based on players and team past performance. In sports betting also need some luck to win all our bets otherwise one may lose money. It is always good to bet small amounts on any match to reduce your loses.

There is no doubt about sports betting being gambling. You can call it by any name gambling will remain gambling. I will say this is clearly gambling but every thing if a simple game of guessing words or about general knowledge if there is some involvement of money like sports betting is pure and 100% gambling.

game fixing really affect the industry but more and more people are involved into it, so even it is a sports betting its really other ways to do gambling risking your money and allowing yourself to trust your luck and earn in the easiest way you know its still gambling mate.
