For me, no. You can win on betting (sports betting for example) if you have knowledge about it unlike in gambling, it is pure luck for me + house edge always rule.
Sure it is, there odds to win at sport betting are 33%, soo you have more chances to win then other casino game or dice. But you are putting your coins into something you believe will bring you profit, but for that you have to risk, to expose your coins into the bet.
For me yes. Because I know that the betting is gambling,
betting in any case is a gamble.
So betting in sports is gambling too.

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 sports betting is not that good. Although you can win easily if you pick the right team. The odds sometimes only gives half of your bet which is not fair because if you loose all of your bet is taken.
If you're try to win something from your money it is mean a gambling
whether you're bet on sports or slot,dice and you bet money in a games.

Yes indeed, it is considered gambling because you are wagering to win something. Although these differs slightly from each other. They are all classified gambling.
If you buy any company shares for long term perspective then you may not lose all your money in one shot and you will get a chance to withdraw some of your money in trading but in gambling either win or lose at an instant. So gambling and trading are not same. But all investments comes with some kind of risks, and if we don't take risks, then we can't grow our money.

But if you are placing a wager on the odds that your pick will win you something then I would consider that as gambling. So is placing it on sports is not different. 
Maybe you are right... you also wager but it is the completely different way to bet,you bet player's skills,not some mysterious number or something so i still wouldnt compare it to gambling.

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...

You are so right about this, gambling and betting its all the safe, I really think that its the same and that it also will never chance.
Its just that you are doing exactly the same as normal gambling if you are asking me.

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...

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.
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.
I guess if you wager on any game or sport, it remains a gamble, unless you're only predict, but if you were to bet on sporting events using the money, and if you win prizes that much, I suppose it is a gamble
Yep. That is just about it. Anything that you bet on to have a chance to earn more is gambling almost immediately. Once you put up something for it. That is gambling already.
Betting = gambling, in my opinion, like drwtsn32 stated in his comment above. No matter if you betting on sport, life, death or anything else around us. This life we have is one big game, and anyone have different odds and bankroll.
I know people that live from betting on sports, but its not easy at all. Very stressful job in my opinion, they risk big money and their profit depends from match result. And they don`t go in casinos ever, they follow sport every day, all day. And they calculate in their heads what to do next, and what is good game to bet on. I like to gamble on sports but with low amounts, if I have luck good, if not then nothing. I`m not disappointed when I lose on that, like now when I lost bet on Federer. I thought he will win Raonic and he lost after good turn over.

Of course betting on sport is gambling. Any time you place money on an outcome that you don't fully control yourself is gambling.
Yes, It is pretty much gambling. You bet an amount of money and wait for the results with a chance to win. Yes, the chance increases on how much you know the sport, clubs and players. But you are not going to know precissely the result.
You bet in poker, right? It's betting just not on sport. So if poker is gambling, sports betting is just another form of gambling.
