I was today years old when I found out that if betting and gambling isn't exactly the same thing. If you Google the word betting most of the  results will be in regards to sports betting. Also Google the word gambling and you will see most results refer to casino games. In my own opinion whether we bet on the outcome of a sports event or we bet on games of luck and skill in the casino, they are both the same thing. Which is why I wonder why there is this distinction between the two? Why can't we say casino betting just as we say sports betting or sports gambling just as we refer to the casino when we talk about gambling? I know it sounds weird saying casino betting or sports gambling but what do you think about this?
I think you have to keep the distinction under the carpet because it's not really necessary. Whether we are casino player or sport bets gambler, they are the same and it good we try the two to see which one can really work for us. Gambling is not just about luck like the way it's use to be in casino bets where we do expect consistent luck to keep winning bets when others might be skeptical on what strategy we are making use of. Every gambler knows  what works for them and it a good reason we test different games to know whichever one we are more lucky on and can earn us good amount of money. Betting is a form of gambling whether we are casino gamblers or sport bets gamblers.

To be honest, betting is all in the scope of gambling, every time betting is mentioned, it is called action and when mentioning something bigger for this action, it is called gambling effort, just analyze the act of betting as a dispute over an issue and taking something from ourselves in return from someone else to prove that we are right in the argument. But of course, this action is relatively light while gambling is a collection of all bets involving money, players do not need to prove the arguments they put forward, players need to survive and get their own money back.
I agree, it doesn't matter. Whatever it is called, what they do is just gamble and expect something good in return. I think I have been in the industry for a long time which is why I don't care what they call it. You put money into a sport or a slot game then you are betting or gambling. Some would explain it differently but not for gamblers who think they are just playing around trying to make money out of risking their own.
Gambling has been in the lifestyle of the world for a long time and I don't think the definition of the two words means a lot for them as long as they can enjoy the thrill of the moment.

Well in the end the point is gambling and betting have the same meaning and the only difference here is the scenario when someone wants to run a session where when someone wants to get involved in a casino game then they just play by putting the amount of money they want to bet against the casino advantage while when they are someone who prefers to dedicate themselves to the type of sports betting then maybe there are some things that need to be done at the beginning such as looking at the statistical data of the two teams that will compete to find a conclusion about which team is more likely to win and make a decision.

But in the end the point is the same, namely we put money to lead to two possibilities, namely between winning or losing regardless of what type of gambling you play.

There is no different between betting and gambling but is just that they could have a different form of playing but they are the same, actually gambling is not only betting on sports or by Casino but other things that allow someone to stake their money on a certain outcome is also a gambling because I could remember during the time we are small I normally see people who pin a bottle on the ground and place something at the top of it and setting a certain range at which they would position and troll from there, that anybody who hit the bottle making those items on the top to fall wins the money, so they will start betting and even those watching always joined them in betting so actually that is also regarded as a gambling and not just only sports.
Anything, be it a game or sports betting or something else where no one knows the result, and the organizer takes money or rake and enriches himself at the expense of the players, can be considered gambling in my opinion.

And if we take sports betting specifically, there is also a gap due to which, over a huge distance and with many bets by players, the bookmaker will be in profit. I think this has been repeated many times - if it were not profitable for the organizer, then no one would do it.

Yes what you are saying is true but not all the gambling can benefit the organizer because their are some kind of local bet that doesn't require any sort of organizing do to the fact that those doing it are the ones that decided to come up an ideal on how they would do the betting, for example the kind of bet I explain earlier that involves hitting the items on the top of the bottle and the only people that would benefit will be the person that would win and nothing like organizers on such games, though the only way you would see an organizer on such game is only if the both gamblers doesn't trust themselves, so they would bring a middle person as an organizer to make sure there is a transparency.

In my opinion, it's the same as gambling, there's no difference, it's just a matter of the name that's different, there's no need to bother your mind about it, because we're going to bet to gamble, if we don't bet we're just enjoying the show, this is just my personal opinion

Yes, there is no significant difference between the idea of ​​gambling and betting, both are still activities that involve money, chances and risks of losing and a gambler will still be faced with two possibilities between successfully multiplying his money in the sense of winning or losing all the money he bet. But maybe on the other hand, what we hear more often in general is the idea of ​​"gambling" considering that online casinos are now really popular in most countries which makes the idea of ​​betting not heard too often, especially in my country and maybe I would say that online casino gambling is much more in demand by many people than sports betting considering the easy accessibility and how to play in it.

The main difference I’ve noticed is how people use these terms. “Betting” is usually tied to sports because you’re putting money on the outcome based on skill, stats, and analysis, even though luck’s still a factor. In casinos, people say “gambling” because you’re playing games directly—like slots or blackjack—where the house has an edge and luck plays a bigger role.
At the end of the day, you’re putting up a wager in both cases, whether it's on a team or at a casino. If you’re into slots, games, or the more traditional casino side of things, places like https://themulligans.org make it easy to get that casino vibe wherever you are.

Gambling is for a broader discussion but betting is when you're limiting your options. Most people don't say they're gambling when playing sport games instead they say they're betting, betting is used more for sporting games and gambling is use for in-house games in casinos or for a general discussion but it doesn't mean they're different. They're the same thing but people like to differentiate between them. You get the same outcome when you're gambling or betting, you can make money or lose more and also have fun when gambling or betting depending on what you want to call it. Right now what's more important is the outcome we get and not the names we're calling it. Rather I win when betting on sport games or playing a casino games without knowing if there's a difference between betting or gambling than when I know the difference but still, neither is favouring me when I play them.

It is true that the purpose of both of these things is to seek profit, betting and gambling are not much different because there is a strong thing in common between these two things, namely the same profit that can be obtained from the end of the game, although the possibility of defeat will dominate and this is also the same thing. Also with what he did which is not much different as you said by putting money on sports or slot games, then you bet or gamble. However, the difference lies in the interests of each individual, with them having different interests, some say they are more comfortable with sports betting and some say they are more comfortable in this casino depending on each perception. But what is clear is that we should be able to do it well without excessive behavior because it can make us lose control and lose large amounts of money.

Actually betting is a form of gambling where you bet money on certain outcomes and here the need for knowledge can be realized. Gambling, on the other hand, involves various games of chance or skill played for money or valuable bets. In gambling you have the chance to bet, the morale to take risks, and anyone has a chance to win. Betting on horses, casino games, sports or almost any event is considered a form of gambling. 

There is no different between betting and gambling but is just that they could have a different form of playing but they are the same, actually gambling is not only betting on sports or by Casino but other things that allow someone to stake their money on a certain outcome is also a gambling because I could remember during the time we are small I normally see people who pin a bottle on the ground and place something at the top of it and setting a certain range at which they would position and troll from there, that anybody who hit the bottle making those items on the top to fall wins the money, so they will start betting and even those watching always joined them in betting so actually that is also regarded as a gambling and not just only sports.

I believe that betting is a "noble" way for the state to profit from betting enthusiasts. Hiding behind the wrapper of sports, the state gets money, despite the fact that no funds are allocated from this income to combat addiction. In betting, problematic bettors bet on matches on the ping arena, because they want the bet to win faster. And this is an indicator that they are not so different from problem gamblers.
And who is forcing you to gamble? Just walk past and that's it. No gambling addiction will appear, which is often destructive for a person. This happened to me and I had to go through many circles of hell. How hard it was for me when I borrowed money to try to win back what had already been lost. Now I have changed my approach to this process and I do not have any problems with people because of debts.

And who told you that someone is forcing me to play, or that I have problems with it? I am speaking in fact for the majority, these are statistics and conclusions from numerous specialized articles. This is how this situation is presented now.
Betting is practically the same as a casino, only with a touch of sports. But if you count the articles about problems with betting, you will see that their heroes are both gamblers and betting enthusiasts.

I think the difference in definition is only a matter of correctness. In the actual sense, both entail putting something at stake. Whether we call it betting or gambling, both have to do with placing bets aside (especially money) expected to be won. For me, that makes them same of same. Perhaps for the sake of "Register" and specifics when it comes to word usage for certain fields as strictly advised in language rule (English grammar, of course), that's why it's so. Otherwise, both mean the same thing.

Yes, it is true that there is no significant difference if we talk about the meaning of the two words between gambling and betting because both have the same concept and scenario, namely involving money, opportunities and risks of losing money, or both are still activities that risk something that is considered valuable (such as money). As far as I know, gambling is more directed at a game between the casino and the players who put money on two possibilities between winning or losing and betting is an activity carried out by both parties where one of the parties has a choice that they think is more convincing to win.

Personally, I am more attracted to sports betting than other gambling games, except for poker, I guess. I don't really like slots and casinos because the luck factor is raised to the highest level there. In sports betting, you can enjoy those sports championships and the game that I would watch anyway, but with a bet on your favorite team, it is even more interesting to watch. In general, everything depends on the player and if one plays slots and does not want to hear anything about betting, others do the opposite. Lately, it seems to me that betting is becoming more popular than other types of gambling because many people think that a lot depends on it and they can turn their expertise into money, but they are often wrong.

Gambling and betting means the same thing, in both you'll put something at stake, mostly money as you said, then hope for the outcome to favor you. They're similar in meaning but have different pronunciations. We choose to refer to gambling in sports as bets, which is a suitable for it and we just call it gambling when we're mostly faced with a machine. The difference is that in sports we're staking our money on human beings to win each other while in casino games we're mostly betting against the house. I don't think that you'll be wrong if you say sports gambling and casino bets, but it'll sound odd because we're not used to pronouncing them that way.

Yes, only the name is different but needs luck to win. Usually, when people say I want to betting, they want to playing gambling by place a bet in the sports. And if those people say I want to playing gambling, our minds will thinks the casino games and not about sports betting.

That will be easily to understand for many people because that gambling and betting is different for them. Gambling and betting needs to have luck to win so they can not deny that and depends on luck if they want to win.

Potato, potahto. It's essentially the same. The activity is the same whether you call it betting or gambling. You can bring the word "wagering" into the game as well. You wager your money on sports or casino games. It's ok to say "I play casino games", but no one says "I play sports betting." The semantics and word choices aren't important. You bet on the outcome of an event. Hence, you are gambling.
