Gambling is when you play roulette and anything can happen.

But I am of the view that whenever you bet money in any place in any game or any thing then it is gambling. We call an action as gambling when two or more persons put some money on a thing happening or game and one of them win them all and the remaining lose according to the rule. So in that definition betting on sports is also gambling.

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.

Gambling is when you play roulette and anything can happen.

Betting sports is gambling, by definition, gambling is play chance for money, and even the word itself Bet (betting on sport) Gambling is not limited in Casino only, nor playing luck/chance game. The same way they tag poker and blackjack as gambling games, so is sports betting because of the word "wager for a stake".

Strongly agreed with you as you said above gambling is not limited only to casino games there, sports betting is clear form of gambling as it also have great risks with it because there is nothing guaranteed with this kind of gambling too, as well as poker and blackjack is also part of gambling where we stake some amount on chance of winning so that I will do agree with you.

Yes every activity where you involve your money for making it double without any effort can be called as gambling, so If you are putting money on games to make it double is also gambling, but a little bit easy than other formats for gambling as you can use your mind in sports gambling.

yes i am agree with you, that sports gambling is a little easy than other gambling games as in sports gambling you can use your mind and experience, and not 100% depending on luck, therefore it is a little easy as compare to other gambling games.

Not a gambling? Really? however the condition, you know everything or not, gambling is gambling. You are a league follower, knows the stats is the best way to win in sports betting. Because if you don't know everything, you will get it so hard to win.

Thats right without knowledge about the game and just relying with out luck inside sports bets would be a hard work for you. Sports gambling is one of the most played especially online, gamblers think they have some edge because they can fined some information before placing a bet.

Yeah, luck is not that necessary when it comes to sports-betting. If you are a sports enthusiast you can predict who will win on that game. Rather than playing on some dice, blackjack, or roulettes where luck is needed when you play.

Betting on sports is gambling but you can put effort into it and increase your odds. Games like roulette and dice require no skill or knowledge and you are completely at the mercy of the game. But in some games like poker, your skill and knowledge can increase your odds. Same for betting on sports. If you do research on the players, teams, and matchups, you can gain an advantage. It's still gambling, but not necessarily as high risk as roulette.

You put something at stake in hopes of getting bigger income in return, so yes, I think sports betting is a form of gambling. The difference is, you yourself knows and holds the odds; you analyze the stats, read the records, bet based on your decision and you're good to go, just let the teams do their thing.

Well, I also feel like it. bet is the same as gambling, just different types of game. in betting, you also want to win that could make bitcoin or money you have increased, so it is just like gambling. but the bet, we can analyze the possibilities that will happen, like a score that would arise, the player, or any other matter

Well in Bitcoin gambling you yourself control the "odd" if that's what they saying is true as you control your risk like 49.5% for a chance to double your bet. Of course even in Sports gambling we don't know who will really win there are many events that can happen while players play the game. Events like a player having an injury mid game, a player fouling our from the game, or even a coach having a technical foul can greatly affect the real outcome of the game in which analysis can be hard.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

Well very interesting topic

as i can tell you whats in my mind about betting on sports = gambling, it really is gambling as you can see gambling is when you put your money by betting it like gambling games you bet the money that you have and that calls for gambling my friend and specially if you are addicted to it then you are a gambler but its fine as long its not every day gambling and so if money is involve on the things you bet on well its gambling whether if it is gambling on sports or online betting's like dota 2 or csgo tournament well other people say its different but its the same if money is involve really its gambling as for me that is Thank you and Good day ^_^

betting on sport is the same as gambling because there is money for winner and beside that betting on sport is can be predicted than gambling games but it needs more info to predict.

Sports betting is a type of gambling and as long as you are putting your money at risk, that's gambling. And this type of gambling is not just basing with pure luck, you need to have knowledge for the teams that will have the match. That is an advantage for the bettors and many people are preferring to choose this game.

one can be bet on any ting, betting on sports is really gambling, no doubt about this, and to me sports betting is one of the best gambling game as in sports gambling you have a little advantage to use your mind and your skill as it is not 100% depending on luck.

That's not correct because whether you know it or not, betting on sports is also not easier because even underdogs can win sometimes against teams for whom odds are in their favor. So, it's not relevant what you are saying that only roulette and casino is gambling as many have knowledge about these things too, but they still lose and even in sports, the same problem is there.

I prefer sports gambling because we can know ahead dahuli team we are going to bet. to see the review team can we know whether the team will win or not, although it does not guarantee we will win

i totally agree with you. that's what i love when it comes on sports betting i know whos the stroger one and whos the weakest one. and still bet on the stronger team and i put a very small amount on the other team thats what i call yolo bet . Cheesy

right now i would call dota2 tournament as a sports bet and im still betting on nba games when theres a game

In my opinion betting on sport is still gambling because there is always a risk of a player underperforming, injuring himself, or even a team underperforming as a whole. Maybe the other team just has a lucky day.

You don't know the odds when betting on sport. The sportsbooks determine it. So it is a gamble.
