Professional betting is not a  myth was my answer


Yes its always gambling but there are 1% that have the right information and move lines and win consistently. BUT for the
other 99% of us its gambling.

Any kind of betting = gambling
But not all gambling activities involve betting.

Of course they are the same. You are risking money therefore it is gambling. imo gambling is not  just in risking your money. Also if you are going to work abroad its like your betting your fate if you will success(win) or not(lose) its consider as gambling. If you are risking one thing its consider as gambling imo.

Yes,betting on sports events is equal to gambling.Gambling doesn't mean to play in casinos both online or offline.Gambling can be done on anything.I have seen and done gambling among friends on many odd things/tasks or guessing something.Everything which has money or some benefit/loss involved is gambling.Sports is fun but once there is money it transforms into gambling.

It is not just sports betting anywhere you put your money at stake to win more is called gambling.Sports betting works same way you choose team or individual depends on nature of game which you think will win.If that wins you win and your return is much more than initial money.Sports betting is form of gambling and there is nothing unclear in it.

It is, bettong on sports is a gambling. Sports betting/sportsbook is a type of gambling too, gambling is not always about dice and casino. If betting on sports not gambling, what else then ?
Gambling literally refers to a risky action in a hope of desired result ( which is earning higher money). So there is no doubt to say betting is a part of gambling as it is too risky as rolling dice and others.

Yes I pretty sure betting on sports it is sort of gambling but it is much better than other format where we have to use our skills and experience to pick the right team for betting, all the time result not happened as we think so that it is clearly gambling.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.


Yes of-course.

as long as you put a money or a bitcoin at stake in exchange of higher win or losing is considered to be gambling,

From the main definition of gambling, it is where you put money at stake to win more or in bad situation to lose. so still sports betting is considered to be a gambling.
yes indeed whatever there's are staking it is consider gambling placing your money at risk without knowing what will happen in return consider gambling as long as there's risk is involved it will result to gambling.

Yes actually because you are also staking your money on sportsbetting maybe they are different in some Aspects but we can never deny that it is also a sort of gambling where you can also win or lose depending on the teams of the different sports that you are staking your bet .

I'm pretty sure that the word "betting" presupposes you gambling.  You can't make a bet without also gambling at the same time.  They go hand in hand.  So yes, no matter what you are betting on, whether it is sports or cards, you are gambling.

No because you get a certain level of control you wouldnt normally get with gambling. With betting you can prepare and compare teams and players and make informed decisions . Random things do happen and sometime the underdog wins. But Living is a risk is it not ? Going to work u could crash and die ? So I don't think its any more risky then an investment or running a startup company.

of course it is gambling. that much is obvious.
anything that you are betting on based on your guess, and you are not 100% sure of the result is a kind of gambling.
this is exactly why some peopel even consider trading as gambling, because you sometimes never know the result of your trades which makes then similar to bets.

Sports betting is one of the best option to place bet because some time we can make a lot of money with very low risk factor, some teams playing wonderful so if we have good knowledge than it is easy to predict what is going to happen into this match, even it is similar to gamble but has good safety than.

Yeah sports betting allow us to make some profits and its less risky in compare to casino games where everything is dependent on pure luck, I love to play live sports betting.

Yes of course sports betting is gambling. People are down hundreds of thousands betting on sports. Saying that, to me it is much more worthwhile to have a few small bets a month on your favorite team or horse than play against the house.

My personal reason is I know a little about sports and I have some experience which gives me the slight edge I need to be slightly profitable with good bankroll. As with any gambling its about not getting carried away and be happy with small wins risking small amounts.

Betting on sports games is the best way to gamble and the easiest gambling way to make money. You can get the odds in your favor by betting on the better team, you will earn less money but the chance is bigger of winning.

Betting on a sport site for me is gambling, You are risking your money to earn your odds on the opposing team.

Yeah, anything that includes voluntary risk taking for a potential reward is gambling. And sports betting is no different to dice, except that there are rankings that can tell you the odds better.

It's definitely gambling though. For example directbet offers sports betting.
