Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

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.

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.

yes no doubt there is no doubt about this that betting on game is gambling. you know in most of the area as gambling and casino are not legal. there most of the people are doing gambling on sports. it is because they do not need to go to casino. they can do gambling on sports online or using mobile phone.

Sports betting is truly form of gambling even it is tough to predict for some matches result like recently what happened with Roger Federer, he was hot favorite of bookies and on other side his competitor Milos Raonic played amazingly so nice, after this kind of result there is no doubt sports betting is equal to gamble.

Exactly, for me gambling means which only depends on luck while with betting means where you also use your knowledge and sometimes skills. But now a days some easy and well known sports also getting so much unpredictable that you call sports betting also gamble, so yeah.

Whether its a sport event or some other programs, if someone play a betting on particular then sure its a form of gambling. Most people quote it as a sports betting.

In betting you have some ways of favouring the outcome to your side. You have to spend some time in learning about what you are betting in. Gambling is risky and purely depends on luck. Sorry you born strategists, you are sure to lose. Good luck believing you will bankrupt every dice site. Betting needs advice and experience and there is a chance upto 100% of winning while in gambling the house decides the chances of your winning

There is no up to 100% chance match because betting as same as gambling, what is the different between gambling and betting? Both of them sure need some experience to play and need some luck in order to win, without both you wont get any profit or may be you can end up worse. But if you are experience enough betting on sport would be the best way to earn

yes of course there is no doubt about that. you know i personally do gambling mostly on gambling. the reason is that we have very little opportunities of gambling in casino actually gambling and casino are illegal here in our country and one found guilty must be sent to jail. so we do it in casino but illegally and hide. but biting on game have little chance to caught bu the police. so it more convenient that gambling in casino for us.

I think betting and gambling are two different things .Completely.Here's why.

Betting : Is completely based on some logical aspects .Always ! For example consider two friends betting weather it will rain today.Now if one friend is thoroughly watching news,weather man's report,NASA's climate analysis and analyzing all other relevant data regrading to today's weather, he is more likely to win the bet as he has some kind of background study or patterns .Same goes for sports and other stuff.If someone has great knowledge in football,they are most likely to guess if tonight's match between Manu vs Everton will be won by whom.

Gambling:Based on random events.Completely random.If you have 50 years of expertise playing poker but you still get some shitty cards you are likely to lose. Ofcourse they're always some shady strategies like understand the opponents reactions and stuff but still luck is all you need.Gambling works because people want it to be random,had it never been random we would never call it gambling.

Good Explanations

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.

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.

The only different is sport gambling mostly depend on skill if we compare when we play on dice ( depend on house edge )
So you may easier to win through sport gamble but still it have some risk if you're not experienced with sport betting ( better ask someone expert if you want predict EURO match for example )

I think it is technically gambling, but it's not as risky as other gambling because you can do research on sports to increase your odds. In other words, it's not completely left to chance like dice and other games are.

I think there is a house edge in sports betting and so is in dice betting, so both are typically same. The fact is that sports betting due to having skills involved by bettors have a higher house edge.

Betting on sports games is one sub form of gambling like many different games. I don't see any difference because it in also need luck on your money which was taken risk on. Gambling is specified just to casino related games it can be performed simply on everything between people to people or business to people to win more by guessing or predicting anything.

in sports there are repeating patterns and trends that make teams win or lose. you can definitely make money if you follow a system and use a good betting software.

As long as whatever you are doing involves a luck, or probability of something happening, then definitely you are gambling. Sports betting is a pure means of betting because whatever choice that you take will depend on chance with odds attached to it.

Moreover betting and gambling are same words, just used for different type of games. In fact you can also call dice as dice betting and sports gambling, both means same : something which needs luck and very little skills.

betting sport even if you know so much about sports and teams that is always need luck to win maybe not like other games.
so it is a type of gambling because you risk you money to have a chance to win some profit.
but i think it is the easiest game to make profit because there is always matches that have 99% of winning.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

Betting on sport is also a form of gambling. Because there is money involved and you can win or lose. I prefer betting on sports than other gambling because you can study and review every player of a team or every match up and by that you can choose what team to bet that has the highest chance to win.
