Ofcourse betting on sport is gambling but you have better odds and there are indeed professional gamblers.

Well definitely there is a better odds because you are not playing against the house but to other players.  The outcome of the game can easily predicted as long as you have knowledge on both team.  Unless the game is rigged or there is an upset win, people that has experience in this kind of field will surely have a correct prediction.

And I think we aren't playing only against the gamblers, but depending also theoretically of the skills of the teams or sport's players and not depending of our luck to win as in other gambling games. But surely it's a modality of gambling.

Sometimes it's hard to win, even knowing a lot about the game and its teams, because some teams have equal strenght and power, so it's almost unpredictable to know who will win or if they will have a game tie. That is the proof it's really a gambling game, no guarantees here anyway.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.


Oke, Here is my answer. For me, Betting is gambling, I repeat Betting is gambling. Gambling and betting are two same things. So for me Betting on sport is also gambling. Simple for me.

I read that all clear sir.  I agree betting and gambling is of the same "specie" lol.  As long as there is money involve , a wager / bet, and a price (winning price)  it is not considered but actually a true gambling games.  It's that this sports betting  is greatly affected by skills and talent of the player in able to win.

I don't understand on how people is distinguishing betting from gambling or betting on sports different from gambling itself.

Because they are identifying that betting is another activity which is just related to gambling but they don't know that betting is simply gambling.

That they are risking their money or wagering it for the hope to get some profit in return.
Maybe they don't understand what they are doing and that's bad when you are in gambling as certainly you will lose and because you do not understand about gambling you might only view the positive side and forget to think of the risk.

Sports betting is gambling by definition, and that is a type of gambling that is very popular for men and women. We do not need to operate for ourselves but it can be done by simply betting the outcome of the sports we are seeing.

According to me Sports Betting is a Part of Gambling Where we are Betting Our Money on Different Sporting Events to expect to double or triple money and also the the risk involves in betting as same in gambling.
So I think that Betting is Not fully Gambling but a major part of Gambling.
It's obviously gambling because there's a value of money involved already. If there's no money involve then we can call it as a game only but time is different now, we like to make it more fun by putting our bets to satisfy our self by getting the reward of our hard work in analyzing games. In fact, it's one of the favorites in gambling, sports betting is very interesting hence making it popular for the punters.
Yes a sport betting without money maybe considered as NOT gambling. When a game with money and also goes up and down like uncertain head or tail game then why not we call it gambling. Sport betting has all the characteristics of gambling and all the risks also.

There is people that make a good living by gambling in sort bets. It's not the same as full on gambling, you can really study hard teams and their statistics and try to decide what to do. In the roulette or slots or dice, you cannot research anything contextual beyond pure raw statistics of the amount of times you play.
Honestly in my own i can't live in gambling because there is no assurance that actually you can make a good earnings in gambling.. maybe for others but i think they are no always win and make a good profit in gambling it is too risky that you can gamble there with large amount that can gives you large win profit if you lose you can be lose a large .. Everything in gambling is more on luck that skills or experience..

I also confused to know who are these people who are rely on sports betting for their living. Sports betting is also part of gambling where we put our money on risk how can we get assurance of guaranteed profit. Sports Betting is combination of experience and luck but we have chance to make profit.

Some can make a living with gambling but majority of as can't as we do not have the skills they have. Since most of us are losers our loses goes to the gambling sites which make them richer. In other words, we are not choosing the right battle as we are fighting a losing battle, thus accepting the reality helps as instead of rooting for money, enjoying in gambling would be a more positive approach.

sports betting and other gambling are completely different and I'm not ready to accept both are same. Sports betting will be profitable only if you are having knowledge there otherwise you will also make losses in sports betting.
If we are facing losses in sports betting then what will be the difference from other gambling and sports betting.
Losses in both sports betting and other gambling will not define as these two types are same. There are a lot of other different characteristics will tell us that sports betting and gambling are complete different.

Sports betting is based on a player's skill and other gambling are based on probability and permutation. In my opinion like these there are a lot of differences existing.
Agree. There are many differences between gambling and sports betting. You do not need to be a master to recognize the differences. In sports betting, if you have enough skills in analyzing and checking the matches, you will definitely have 80% of winning in those games. While in gambling, you will only gain up to 50% if you have both skills and experience

yes of course its the same and i agree with that because there is money inside the games and we know that. but for the chances to get winning is more big for betting on sport than gambling.

Yes, there is a money inside the game, You onlu can gambling if you have a money, also you only can betting if you have a money, Gambling is not gambling without money, also betting is not betting without money. Gambling is a game when you place a bet of money on it. Gambling without money is just an ordinary game.

Gamblers do differentiate sports betting and other gambling only based on the risk levels and possibility of using knowledge and experience. As long as you are able to gamble profitably across sports betting and other gambling then there will not be any differences between them. But this will not be the case for most of the gamblers here.
You are right. I am not profitable with dicing but with sports betting. So these two types of gambling are not same for me. Moreover sports betting is similar to trading and sports betting is not a gambling type in my personal opinion.

But I do bet on only one sport and I am an expert there, that may be the reason I'm able to make profits from sports betting. But I go for dicing and slots and making losses with them all the times.
You mean to say if we gamble only one type then we will be getting chances to be profitable like you are betting on only one sport and making profits ?

I do not think so because usually dice gambling is based on luck and even you are always playing dicing there will not be any surety that you will get profits in long run.

But that will be the case with the sports betting, in long run you will get chances to make more profits from sports betting.
Yes sports betting and other gambling are completely different and I'm not ready to accept both are same. Sports betting will be profitable only if you are having knowledge there otherwise you will also make losses in sports betting.

Because sports betting is fun so we are hooked to it, honestly under my perception, I would not mind losing in gambling as long as I enjoy the game and that is sports betting. Besides, the main purpose of gambling is just for entertainment so we should have that no matter what is the outcome.
