Yeah if you make a bet it does not matter on what you bet at that moment you are gambling. Betting on sports games is the best way to bet in my opinion.
You can let the odds be in your favor which is not possible at most gambling games.

You need to do research on sports to have a better chance of winning. If you randomly pick a bet, you are just gambling. You would have a higher chance of winning if you analyse the sports game in details.

me too i don't see any difference between the two i think it is just the same betting in sport is part of a gambling risking your money is the main point here so anything that there's a laxury of losing or winning can consider as gambling hoping for luck to win or gain,.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

Of course it is! duhhh??? That's why from the first play, you BET! It means you gamble, because it will either lose or win. haha

actually betting on sports is betting on sports and gambling means more something like casino games where your winnings are based only on luck and nothing else

may i don't understand English as well as i thought or maybe you are just playing with words here.

but i don't see any difference between "betting" and "gambling" those two words have the same meaning and are used on the same thing. whether it is betting on a sports game or it is betting on a casino game they are both gambling and have risks.

Sports betting in my opinion is gambling. Gambling is risking an amount of money on the outcome of an event. That event can be a roll of the dice, a combination on a slot machine, a random selection of numbers in a lottery, the weather, a hand of blackjack, a hand of poker, the winner of a race and yes, the outcome of a sporting match and anything that occurs within it.

Basically, anything in which risking money or capital is a gamble. This would also include investing/trading is also gambling in my opinion.

yeah, the best comment i have ever read here, This is the best explanation out there, I hope you all get it now.
Cool

i think yes there is no doubt about this. i think every game in which winning and losing involve then it is called gambling. so there are a lot of people who are doing gambling on sports. i personally do gambling on sports it is rather easy than any other gambling games.

Yes in my eyes betting on sport is gambling, and its in my eyes also officially connected to it due to the fact that you need luck and you are betting on something and on what does not matter in my eyes.
Its all about luck with gambling and if you are betting its gambling and this is no matter what...

For me also, when you bet or gamble is same because without luck you cannot win any type of game or bet.
Sites are not stupid to offer odds on a event and hence you need the luck to win it.

Yup in both method we need luck, I agree. But in sports betting our skill also set work. And our prediction will be right many times. Only sometimes if we get any unexpected result, we lose our chance, or else this is money making method. I made some decent amount in sports betting.

I dont think that skill is really needed on sport betting because what you really do on sport betting is just to place a bet and predict the future so if you are not good on prediction you can try to gather so many information out there just to increase you prediction rate so that you will sure have higher winning chance on your bet. And i admit it that sport betting is sure profitable thing but still you need luck too in every gambling games including sport betting

Yeah i agree with you. Sports betiing is not about skill, but it's about find many informations and strategy about that match and need some luck too.

For me, Betting in sports is actually a gambling because there is a money involve and when you actually win the game then you will get profit from it right? and then if you lose from betting, you will actually lose money, so that is gambling.

of course sports betting is gambling you have to guess which one will win and you can not rely on your skills but on luck.
for example, the match france vs portugal Tongue

Well you would say that it is gambling because it requires luck, but investing requires luck too and it's called "investing" and not gambling, and both in investing and sport betting there is a skill that is nothing but studying the performance of the teams, in the case of investing, studying the performance of assets. So investing and betting on sports is the same thing, but one is not considered gambling and other is considered a gamble...

Well, I do not know which type of investment that is which required luck because investment itself means there is very low chances of loosing ( only in rare case company you invest with die ) , anyways gambling is not same as betting, because gambling needs sports knowledge and not just luck.

What kind of investment you do where there are very low chances of loosing? The chances of losing are 50/50.. do you mean that the chances of losing all of your money? (stock going to 0). Well then of course it's harder to go to 0 than with betting.

I'm surprised at how many people think its like gambling when obviously ita not. Its like 50/50 you can reduce your odds of losing by having knowledge. With gambling there is nothing you can do.

gambling is a game of risk when you put down money on something (doesn't matter what it is, it can be outcome of a rolled dice or it can be winner of a cock fight) and it has a chance of going either way then it is gambling.
it doesn't matter how much is that chance of winning is (50/50 or 99.9/0.1) in all cases it is still gambling as long as there is even a small chance of losing in it.

I would say so as there are risks involved. A team could also be involved in match fixing.
I don't personally know really.

Anything where is money been placed in shape of getting more back or loosing that is gambling. Sports betting is not safe and has equal risks as gambling in other things. Most recent example can be seen in yesterday's euro soccer match where many people lost money on France inclusive me. If this was not gambling then what is should be considered. I make no difference between both.

You have it all wrong. To play properly you should not avoid risk but to manage it. By doing that you should know what you're doing and have the right amount of bankroll to go through all the variance of sports betting. If you got it all right you're winning line will trend up gradually.

gamble
Simple Definition of gamble
: to play a game in which you can win or lose money or possessions : to bet money or other valuable things
: to risk losing (an amount of money) in a game or bet
: to risk losing (something valuable or important) in order to do or achieve something

it is from a dictionary, so we can check the meaning of sports betting, it fits the first explanation, and so does second and third, because you can lose money, it is gambling.
