Topic: Gambling and Betting. Why the Distinction? - page 6. (Read 1282 times)

This is quite a funny comparison but also intriguing at the same time because technically I thought they were synonymous with each other. But in modern day gambling is now believed to be wreckless while betting is considered to be more strategic, in essence gamblers that stake on casino games take more risks because these games has no systems to be studied, no patterns or strategy to use, they are strictly luck based. Staking on such games is considered to be gambling while betting on the other hand has to do with taking calculated risks, like sports betting, basketball and so on.

Both casino games and betting are done by bookmakers but casino games are built in control by a simple way that it doesn't need to be change all over all the time unless when the house notice their is too much win from a particular game where they suspend it for that time, reprogram it and then put it back online to mild players after winning many times.

However, sport betting bookmakers change their games almost every day as long as tournament and leagues are available, they change them base on how the interaction and performance of the game is going and the result is independent of what the bookmakers does for the player, it's the even that matters. The only thing they can control is the odd and if it's not favorable to the players, they leave and move to a new platform.

Semantics...
Of course you can make a bet and not be called a gambler in the situation that example above. Have you ever bet with friends at school, or with your siblings? We'd do it all the time, in the most basic things like movies. -I could beat anyone here in armwrestling. -I bet you couldn't! -Fine, let's see who's right, if you win I'll say you're the best armwrestler in school. Was that a bet? Sure. Are people involved actually gambling? It depends how you see it. The way I see it, as long as the bets are harmless and all you can win is respect you're not a gambler.

I don't think that sports bet is equally risky as other gambling games. I also would not distinguish between gambling games and betting based on the risk factor. I think betting is a form of gambling which is more of a calculated type of game and you have data with you to make decisions. Casino games don't let you process any data and you go for pure luck based win while in the betting you have some data to make analysis but in the end it is luck that will make us win both casino and betting games.

GAMBLING is a general term for anything that involves staking your cash in expectancy, for a huge return if it cuts... It has no collusion with the term betting. BETTING simply refers to the process of wagering your already made predictions. Don't miss the point!

I don't think so. If I'm to backup my disapproval, it'll simply be with the next line on this post ... There's a difference between collective names and personal names (pronouns) etc.

For me, these two terminologies are interchangeable and depends on how an individual would use it. Gambling means having an expectancy for return or consequence as an activity while betting is the actual action of doing so, and not on the game involved. Whether you actually participated or not, as long as you've wagered something or any amount for your biased opinion regarding the match outcome then you both did gamble and bet at the same time.Just their subjective opinion and self contructed definition of what gambling and betting are. Casino games are a form of gambling and so does sports betting. Instead of looking at the difference why not focus on the risk involved and how will it be managed by the individual doing either gambling or betting.

And I see that the difference between the two sentences in question is not much. The two are close together considering that they both need money to use as capital and there are only two results, namely winning or losing.
My opinion on this is not unusual and the question is worth discussing.
Some people only think that gambling is about sports betting such as betting on football matches or gambling is just playing cards and the like.

Gambling is easy to distinguish from betting. The whole difference is that in gambling, a person trying to make money on “entertainment” participates directly himself (no matter, against real people or computer algorithms), but in betting, this person doesn't participate in the process itself (the sporting event) and trying to make money, predict the outcome of a sporting (not necessarily) event. Also, it should be noted that when betting, a person tries to predict, predict the outcome of an event, whereas in gambling (for example, in slots), he is only subject to the influence of chance. And in some cases, like card games, it can influence the outcome of events, thanks to the ability to participate in the gameplay (as mentioned above).

Most People consider casino games as gambling due to the fact that it's been controlled by the book makers, it's not just gambling it's risky gambling, the house decides what happens next and you are putting your money in their hands... sports on the other hand is classified as betting to some because the risk is quite lower, to me these two words go together, but most people wouldn't agree to that
However it is , this is just my idea on this is

Lol...it baffled me how gullible some people could be, this is how they are using a little cajoling to confuse them which is not supposed to be so so long as they are adults. Gambling and betting are just the same things but different words because betting is a form of gambling, and vice versa. So if someone is now trying to believe he can reposition the narrative, then it is the person who is merely deceiving himself.

Irrespective of that, all that is good towards gambling/betting is for the person to fully understand the context so that he can play them well, have fun or gamble for the money moderately/reasonably and get satisfied and not be irresponsible towards it. Having a different feeling/description just because of the name is not going to take anyone anywhere, that is just the truth, except for how we handle gambling individually.

Casino betting and sports betting are different but what makes them similar is that they're both different forms of gambling and they both got traditional on online mode of doing them, like there are traditional casinos and traditional sports betting shops likewise there are online casinos and online betting sports betting platform too so individuals should misunderstand both of them.

 I don't understand what you meant by come on road cause in both you can lose money in seconds, whether you bet traditionally or online and let me also put it to you that people play live games in sports betting both online and traditional have you heard of virtual games where some options could make you lose your money immediately the game begins. What I mean is that you could play under 1.5 for a team and watch them score more than  2 goals in few seconds. So the risk in both casino and sports betting is same.

Betting is different from the sports betting because in casino ,we can lose all money in seconds and we can come on road and with sports betting we can't come on road. I appreciate your question and I will explain whole the fact. We can say simply betting to sports  betting or casino betting but that depends on person to person and family to family area to area and nation to nation . But I agree with you ,both are bettings but man environment depends a lot to say any word. Casino betting is more dangerous but most people enjoy this kind of betting and  that became habit of them.

I think that due to the development of online services, we will come to the point that betting will not lag behind gambling in terms of the number of users.

Previously, there was a big difference between them: to go to play gambling, you had to go to the casino, it's a beautiful place and many people have been there, it's nice to be there and it's nice to return there.
But the physical betting organizations were in bad areas. Strange people have been there all the time and I don't want to be there.
But now it's all online.And it became convenient for everyone.

I realizes that in sports betting needs to wait until the match finished so we can see if we win or lose. But we can takes the money out of betting when we see we are in profit before the match is over. While when we playing the casino games, we can see the results will follows to every rounds that we played so we that will be an instant results that comes to us. Maybe the different is the results from each of gambling games that will not  directly shows to us. Gambling games is not for older generation but it is for younger generation because right now, many young people playing gambling but we don't knows what they like to play. What they needs to concerns is just how to manage their money and time in gambling so they will not lose much money when playing gambling.

When we search on search engine, sometimes we gets the same as what we wants. But the other time, it will different the mean from the other things and that's normal. The keywords different can gives the other means so if we knows that the thing is what we search, we should not have a problem with the words different. I prefer to hear sports betting than sports gambling

But many people will thinks that gambling and sports betting is the same but they will knows the different when someone mentions that they place a bet in sports betting. If that person say I wants to play gambling, other people can asks about slots, cards or other gambling games. We don't have to confuses because I think we are familiar with those things and we playing casino games and sports betting at the same time.

Most people knows about gambling that is an activity that use money. But maybe some people are not familiar with the name of sports betting but they knows that is a gambling too. They knows that gambling needs luck to win but some people doesn't knows that in sports betting, they also needs skills to analyze the team to knows what team that have a chance to win.

When people who often playing gambling will knows what is casino games and sports betting and they will agree with both things. We should not confuse with the terms because we already knows about that.

What is certain is that these two sentences refer to the same activity, gambling is phrase that most people often say as form of activity that uses money to test luck and generate wins or profits.
Betting itself is form of placing certain amount of money on game option or sports match with the aim of being able to double the money when that amount of money is placed on the right option.
Logically speaking, everything is the same and there is no difference because this is gambling where there are quite lot of terms that can be quite confusing.

We will not be able to find meaning just by looking at one source because if it is explained in more detail and in greater detail then the only common point that exists is the similarity of words which may be misinterpreted by some people.

In sports bet, you bet on teams(entities) that represents the game, whereas in casino games, you place the money on outcomes or no other entity involved. Hence it’s termed as betting when we refers to sports bet and gambling when casino games are concerned. Moreover the distinction can also be made if we see the risk intake in both the events. In sports betting some skill is required with which we can find out which team has higher chances of winning. On the other hand, in casino games everything depends on the luck, no skill is required here. Hence for this difference also, they are called by different names.

The main difference between betting and gambling is that gambling activity depends entirely on luck while betting activities depend on luck strategy and skill. This means that those who gamble have no way of influencing the outcome in the long run. In fact you can find information online on how much a gambler is predicted to lose in the long run playing various casino games. On the other hand sports betting allows players to apply different strategies as well as use this information to research and put themselves in the best position to predict the outcome of a game. And while an element of luck exists it is not a deciding factor in the long.

I think there're synonyms with different applications in a sentence. Gambling is also understood as betting. The search results  showing for each words is gotten from the keywords different sites use in writing about the both words. The classification are best organized to fit into the sentences such as to increase readability. Sport betting sounds better than sport gambling. Yet, both words means similar things. I don't think they mean different things.

Between they're lots of synonyms that can be used to mean same thing. Whenever a person hears of gambling he'd remember or think of betting almost immediately. So the complications are not much, it's just a misconception for too many people. Wager also is a word that can substitute betting. In an ordinary level of reasoning, I'd add that gambling is a broad term for the niche. While betting is the act of spending money in gambling.

In simple games where luck has its role, it is termed gambling. Sports betting is different because the role of luck is very minimal. If one has the ability to analyze and understand different factors connected to the sport and the particular match, then it is possible to pick the correct odds and win the bets. This isn't possible with casino games, where we risk money in the hope of winning the bet. With casino games, we will get the result instantly, whereas with sports betting, it takes time to know the outcome of the bet, depending on the time taken for the completion of the match.

you are right, essentially they are the same thing. But there is one difference and this is time.Gambling games bring profit or loss faster, and for example, a bet on football takes 90+ minutes to get the result.And in bets you can slightly adjust the event. I think bets on sport is an event for the older generation of players, I often see older people near the bookmaker’s counters and don’t see young people there.
