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.
If we are facing losses in sports betting then what will be the difference from other gambling and sports betting.

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.

But in my experience there are lots of possibilities to win big even in other types of gambling. I mean to say I am able to win big in almost all types of gambling not just with sports betting. I am unable to differentiate sports betting from some other gambling types because I do see the risk levels and profit levels are same across these two.

The possibility isn't big in any game.. It's a small chance no matter what game you're playing. What you need to understand is that you have to manage your money correctly and not play with more than what you can afford to lose. It's the most critical thing you have to do, which if mistaken or forgotten about, it can lead to changing your life the bad way.

These are actually two different types of gambling and because of this we are seeing that much difference in the profit and lose. You may have noticed easy and hard method in every field so in the same way betting is an easy way of gambling while other games are something hard ways of gambling that is why it is hard to win on these games.

I don't think he said that at all. He said he could get profit from sports betting, and thus he does not consider it the same as gambling. One of the reasons he said, that would make that happen, is that he only bets on what he is very good at, so that's why he gets profit from it. He never said that was also prossible in gambling, actually, on his example, even playing dice (that is only one game), he said he can't profit from it.

Actually it depends upon the odds you choose on gambling but sportsbetting has same risk to other types of gambling, Best example for these scenario is when you set 50% winning percentage on dice site and choosing 2.0 odds on sportsbetting. If you analyze carefully you have both a chance to win on both game for 50/50 ratio, Because their have same win chance, They just differ on the methodology of winning process

I do agree bet on sports is same as gambling and the chance quite good to win it due to we already analyze the game and players, in the other hand another type of gambling like dice need more cautious and strategy to win even you set the odds and 50:50% chance, the results seems unpredictable and we can't say for sure it's provably fair as it's what the sites told you.

Sports betting is indeed a gambling since there is a money involve on such games.I agree with you it much better that those games does fully rely on luck like dice games and slot games. Being cautious and strategy wont work on dice games because results are fully random unlike on sports betting which we could able to increase the winning chance by analyzing a particular team.

I usually bet on sport sites when there is a big event. as well as the team that will play for the championship of the football. but apart from that I also bet that I prefer team sports

It would be more fun when there's a big event that's why sports betting is very entertaining. I do bets in NBA Playoffs because I have to support my favorite teams through my bet, at least when they succeed I can also get a share for their effort with the amount of profit that I will be harvesting.

Just by saying "betting", that is already gambling. If it's a game of luck and involves losing/winning money, there's no way it can't be called gambling.

Yes , betting on sport is considered as gambling as there is a word and action there to Bet it means as putting something to win or lose in a game .So many gamblers are betting on sport and we know that game is based on critical thinking and good decision to where to bet in a team who play in that day an hours before.

There are some different between them though. That is because you can not regconize them so you consider gambling is the same as sport betting. In my opinion, sport betting aske players to have more knowledge about sports and requires them to have experience in checking a site, as well as a match before it starts.

each person has a different opinion but, I also felt that it was true. Well, bet the same as gambling. we have the same stake something on a game or a match, and I think it also has the same gift. I also feel that betting requires luck to win, just like gambling. so, it can be said that the same bet with gambling.

Yes gambling, betting and trading also requires luck to have preferable results.

As long as we are not controlling our money and we are taking the risk with our money then there will not be any escape from the dominance of luck factor. The terms gambling and betting can be used interchangeably still they are having significant differences from each other even both of them requires luck.

Thinking of we do not have the control of our money will really make you rely on luck, we have to put in mind that we are in charge of our money, hence we have to decide on what kind of investment we have to try, may it be a low or high risk. Trading for me is a high risk but we can control our money by doing a lot of research to improve our skills, so in the end our decision is only the main source of the outcome.
