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.

Sport betting can be an art... it requires a lot of research, fine tunning, understanding of the game, the players, all the statistics... of course, when it's all said and done, you are going to need a lot of luck, at the end of the day, but almost everything needs luck. It's all about reducing the luck factor as much as possible.
Yes sports betting require skills along with luck but sometimes it come as opposite when we see a weaker team come to win and a better team do not able to do any performance in games and one of the bigger problem in sports betting is sport fixing which make a lot of people lose their money.
In sports betting it is easy to predict if you have a knowledge about sports and if you are always watching and follow a game you predict with your own and tips outside can help you to choose base in your watched and analyse.. that can brings you good decision and good result..
What do you mean about sports fixing i really dont know or heard about sports fixing that you can lose your money.?

sports fixing is when a team or a player intentionally loses and most of the time this happens when syndicates are involved especially for professional leagues. there's a lot of money involved so it's a fact that it is happening.
I agree that because of match fixing we lose our money. Yup, it happens many times in all format of games. Specially in cricket game we see more fixing games. It will happen only in premier league games not international games. Many cricketers spoiled their sports life because of this match fixing. If this fixing happens we will get unexpected results. So our guessing will not work we lose money.

No it's not what you think. Sports enthusiast that doing sports betting on their favorite games doesn't mean they can easily pick a winning team. They are analyzing it and it's not that easy. Moneyline for a dominating team is quite has high chance of getting the winnings but the odds are low so in here a gambler must do a wise bet that will play around the given odds.

Sports fixing is a rigged game wherein a player or a team will force to lose a game. This is prohibited and sanctions might be given so it was carefully performed by players involved. Why doing this? Money and sometimes they have no choice or else something will happen.

Sport bets are gambling, and i dont understand why people thing it isnt, arent you risking your money against a result? As i know gambling its a prediction result of something, soo sport bets does belong to those, the difference its the risk is lower then dices or slots machines.

Betting on sport = gambling?
Please write your mind.

Yes 100% yes if you are going to bet with your money then it's already considered as gambling keep that on your mind once you are playing or betting in your money it's really gambling but it's not bad at all theres an effect in your life? yes there are you will be addicted.
Well, I though think that sports betting is not gambling because see its not betting on luck but actually betting with our experience and we can make some real profit too in even long term if we know a lot of about the sports. And if you call risk as gambling then probably in every step of our life we gamble.
I think we have a problem here, sports betting is gambling because we are putting money to make money. It's a simple explanation everyone should understand. I do gamble in sports and I believe I am a gambler in sports because that is my favorite gambling game. I may say sports is my passion and with that it will relate to sports gambling also.


Yeah right, we need to place a bet to make money. Any games that require betting it was included into gambling. So sports betting included into gambling. That falls into gambling so it was not luck but a bet that causes the game into the gambling.

Any form of Sports Betting is gambling. Even though you based on your bets too which side favors you to win, there is still a chance you will lose. For example even if you favored a team which has a "-#" on to it because it  is strong, the weaker team might still surprise you with a win even without the odds on it. Just like in any gambling which you thought the odds are in your favor, there is still a chance of you still losing.
Odds means the probability of a team winning over the other team or player. While the odds are believed to favour the favourite obviously, but sometimes yes the underdog surprises too. I think the best form of gambling is sports betting because we don't have to verify rolls and all and do not have to depend on our luck.

thats correct if betting on sport is gambling
all things which is related with bet activity is called gambling
of course bet with money, risk money to win or lose money is called with gambling activity

Even sports betting is also form of gambling because there is risks to lose money there, but it is something better than normal luck based games where play against the house and we have very low chance there to beat the house but in sports betting we have choices to pick good option for betting.

I think yes it is still gambling although we can make prediction on sports gambling because win or lost, it depend on my lucky and accuracy of our prediction is just for 50:50 and on gambling i can not make cut lost.

In fact the odds are 33% because you can win, loose, draw with your bets, sure the risks into sport betting are lowered then any other way of gambling, and the odds usually are good, 1,09-1.6 this into normal games with ceptical results the odds just hit the sky. The worse thing at some places is that they allow you to make live bets like : what will happen on the next stop, fault, goal, yellow card, this live options make the most loose money without feeling it.

i find sports gambling to be easier than casino gambling as you can use a bit of your sporting knowledge and you get to dictate your house edge
