We all know betting is better then gambling because you have a certain degree of control. I wonder who of you have gone from gambling to only betting now much did your profits increase and what difference does it make ?
I think between gambling and betting not much difference,both have big risk,always. But betting seems like more safe because we can wait and see,not directly in second know the result,its why i more like betting.

betting and gambling is the same OP

I think OP has made a mistake in his title, gambling and betting are the same thing, so it would be odd for OP to ask that. I think he means to say Gambling vs Sports Betting, as Sports Betting doesn't have a house edge.

In that case, yes, I used to place bets at dice and not win often, but now I bet on sports and I win much more frequently. I bet small amounts for fun, but I can still look at my winning history and it's better than the history I had at dice. So yes, sports betting is better if done right.

Yes that is exactly what I mean and exactly the sort of answer I was looking for. Thank you for your feedback. Gambling is like shooting at a target with a blind fold on.

They both have their own definition and purpose. For gamblers you cant complete the process of gambling without betting or else you will just be a mare spectator if you are just waiting for a result with out the actual betting.

You can sit on a table with poker players but that doesn't mean you are gambling.

You cannot say Gambling vs Betting because Betting is a form of gambling. You can bet in DICE, in Sportsbet. But i prefer to bet in Sportsbet because there are many tipster in the gambling section. You just need to review all their tips and pick the one that has been pick by many tipster.

Alright fine. Bit what about these tipsters ? Some really know what they doing. I mean you can't tell me flipping a coin is the same as picking a winning team. One team is always more likely to win. So what about that ? I mean you dont gambling threads where you follow peoples choices.

Betting is considered as gambling. Your risking your money and that is gambling. The best question for that is sports betting vs casino games.

I did not understand about this question because I think  gambling and betting the same thing equally in gambling
betting one type of gambling, gambling consists of several types of games one is betting commonly used in sports gambling

If you ask me about betting and some types of gambling I'm more profit from betting but not from winning  bet only profit from the various promotions and contests  Grin

I think OP has a point. The two mean the same thing in the gambling world but they have different implications. Betting may have 2 meanings. 1. Place money where you think it is lucky. [/b]2.[/b] Put your money on where your analysis is. Gambling can be a general term and it's the same as taking risks. Mostly "betting" is used on two entities playing against each other. As to gambling is most used on dice or any related games.

Gambling - Play games of chance for money, take risky action in the hope of a desired result.

Bet - The action of gambling money on the outcome of a race, game, or other unpredictable event.

Definitions from google search. I wish to show you that betting is just part of gambling, important one. You can put a bet on everything and anything. I understand you wish to compare betting on sport events and casino games, but you choose wrong headline. Its simple and its a fact that before roulette spin you put a bet, in poker before pot everyone need to put a bet, if you play dices you need to put a bet for every throw, so if you wish to gamble on sport you need to put a bet on the game..when ever you put a bet on something, you are gambling and take a risky action in the hope of desired result.

this is my 1st week without gambling after that i annonce it in this topic: https://bitcointalk.or/index.php?topic=1527952.msg15374031#msg15374031
maybe some members found that gambling and betting are the same but for me it's completely different, the gambling site use a scrypt and others ways to make high thier profit and many players lose.
in betting the win and loss depend on the team wher you palce your bet if the team or prsone win you win with, if loss you loss with, there is no scrypt manipulation no favorite players no doubt.

You may argue that with 'betting' you can achieve certain amount of probability and control of your bets. After all  what could go wrong if you bet something and odds are @1.08 or something low?
But I lost couple 'sure bets' and lived though many upsets where underdogs won with much more renowned opponents. I can tell you this: Gambling is gambling no matter what.

If you determine gambling is plaing dice, slot, etc
and betting is like sport gamble

I would to say that betting is the safest way, in gambling is just pure of luck, even the site is provably fair still your luck can make you loss
in betting you need to do research about team you decided pick, and the percentage to loss actually small if you find the right thing about it

Unless you can get better odds than what whatever site offers you versus what the reality is, even betting is rigged against you.
In other words, it's not very different than a slot machine.

You are doing same thing when betting which is also a branch of gambling.I don't see any difference in these.It is extended or another form of gambling.Both where you put at stake money to multiply it with some ratio to get more from that.I will say gambling and betting is same.

Roll some dice, flip a card, pull a slot handle: Gambling.

Research statistics to decide which team will win a game/match: Betting.

With betting, you can at least make an informed decision that requires a bit of knowledge and skill plus a little luck. When you gamble, its usually 100% luck that decides your outcome.

It will end up with the same results mostly ., as for both you can make your calculations with the luck factor and rules involved.
Try both and pick a side where the most luck is in your pocket  Cheesy
