Yes it is gambling when you bet on any sports game. There is no difference not even little between betting and gambling. Betting is given to sports events to distinguish them from casinos games. It is like using card in poker, rolling the dice or spinning the wheel in slots all are gambling. It is involvement of money which turns a simple thing into gambling which can be anything.
that's correct no difference at all we still talking about playing our fate into this game placing our money with the team that we are hoping to win its just like choosing which will happen when we place our bet with dice game we can't really say what will be the results because even best teams loses if we are unlucky with our bet.

i think all kind of bet is called gambling because we don't know what will happen as result , and someone might be win / loss and it is gambling
You are right as betting is just sub-set of gambling. Still, we can classify what is gambling and what is betting according to the nature of what we are doing. Betting will not be riskier similar to gambling as as we are not using the term betting for a luck based games. Testing your luck might be gambling and others maybe classified as betting.
I am sure that betting is also gambling, even though you analyze everything with the 2 teams it is even out because of odds, don't you think bookies already know who you will be betting and what team will they put the odds on? Of course, they are already in line with this kind of work, if they didn't they wouldn't last even a season of a league. All of that is because even in sports there is still a random chance that what you analyzed will go to the opposite of the result you are hoping.

Of course its gambling its something that you do for the money and its betting on something so that is gambling, I think its also risky so its due to these things the same as gambling for sure.
Sports betting is a gambling game that you can enjoy so much when you are a sports enthusiast. Most sports enthusiast think that they can make money out of their passion therefore they bet on a game they think they know how to cap.

No guarantee to win in gambling even if you know the game well because the odd makers know what they are doing.
that's right, house knows what they are risking so we can't really say that we have an edge even we carefully research the game and we knew the team or the player there's still a  risk on it and possible to be burned is also present, the advantage is we are enjoying and we are getting a chance to assess but its still a gamble because of the money involved.
They are also gambling but they are wiser than us, they wanted us to enjoy the game so we will always come back to gamble without knowing that we are slowly losing our money and we just realize later or in the future when problem in money will arise.

Thats  part  of  the plan  on  most   gambling  house   , they  would surely enjoy you  up  because   the feeling of  enjoyment   cant be   payed  by  money, then  that s the  time you are  not aware   on your bankroll which is  gradually decreasing  because  you are  lossing  up too much  money. You would surely feel  it  later or sooner  when  problems do arise  same as  you  mentioned.

of course it's a yes. always note that when it come to money to gain double money its a gamble especially when it comes on betting in a sport like nba, mma, horse racing, boxing its always a gambling. If you want to gamble in the option i said better to try some research into it for you to have an idea. ifyou have knowledge about it so you have the most advantage than others but all gamblers are experienced people when it comes to gambling so good luck if you're betting on a sport Smiley

Anyway, in any case, when you place a bet on it is gambling. Placing a bet on the sport also includes gambling.
 For example you place a bet to choose who will be the champion in the Premier league, if you win, you will win a huge profit. It is gambling. So I think, Betting on sports is gambling.

When you play in gambling, I suggest you wish on your luck.
Betting on sport is as easy as you think as long you are sporty
person hard way is not needed. Betting on sport and you gamble
it, next is you wish on you luck. Because winning is depends on
your luck.
It's easy as you see it but in reality it's hard to win. Most of the time we think we have a sure win bet but it's just a trap and we realize that after the. That will most likely happen if we gamble and see only the one side of the coin.

yes i agree and many people has to get trap with this and they are only get loss. but we can minimize our loss with reading some info about the match so our chance is getting big than before, this is just another way if we want to make a bet for next match and just hoping that our prediction is work so we can win the games.

yes it is a gambling but with a good amount of chance to win/succeed because you can see how a team is progressing or going down because of some analyst point and visiting their website to see their statistics before betting.
I don't think Sports Betting has better chance of winning. E.G. Lakers deafeating the Warriors shows that even if you are said to be the super team in the nba you can still lose to a weaker team. If you only based it on stats and player strenght then you are doomed to be losing as there are other factors like is the game home or away, how many players won't be playing.  Games are still unpredictable that is why I quit sports betting.

Odd is the other factor that make sports betting are so difficult. Mostly, when we had a good analysis about sports games, odd will be against us. For me, sports betting is purely gambling and no doubt about it!
