Topic: Sports Betting Or Gambling ? - page 2. (Read 337 times)
it's the same for anyone who engages in gambling in card games or sports betting has the same outlook of risk, it only differs from how much they are willing to risk. sports betting however could be much entertaining even when you lose because you get to watch and enjoy the game with more excitement than without having a bet. you don't feel the same when you play cards online but if doing it right where you can hold the cards and engage with players, the excitement is there.
Sports betting is part of gambling. Majority of the users who prefer to be part of gambling begin with sports betting. Because, it gives them increased chance of winning compared to the casino and other games. Casinos has got the high multiplier, but the chance of losing is quite high. This means the winning out of sports betting is quite high than casinos.
i believe the OP is referring to classic games when he mentioned gambling here. anyway, it really depends on the player himself. some are comfortable with sportsbetting especially if they are living and breathing the particular sport. so betting would come easy for them and they will feel that they have higher chance of winning as compared to luck-based games. and besides, your chance of winning in most luck-based games are really low. but some people are enjoying those classic games like dice, crash, etc because you don't have to think of anything, just play and enjoy unless you want to use strategies like martingale, but we know, this strategy doesn't work all the time.
There are people who play gambling only while there are others who prefer betting only.
Do you think both of these type of people have different mindset and one of them is willing to take more risk than than others ?
Also do think that gambling is for the entertainment and earning money too but people do betting only to earn money and there is no element of fun involved in it.

I would be one who falls heavily in this category. I have a lot of friends who fall in this category as well. Personally I love casino game gambling as well as betting sports. I've always been in love with playing cards, starting off playing "War" as a little kid lol. The older I got I started getting more in to games such as Texas Hold'Em. I also started enjoying other games as I was old enough to go to Casinos, like roulette for example. I don't think I ever really bet on sports until I was in college or just out of.
This all being said, my mindset is no different than most other players I don't think. I play for both fun and to try and take money, but for both types of gambling I am always willing to risk only what I am willing to lose.

Understand that sports betting is part of gambling, and there are typles of gambling, I like to name few of the most popular that I also played.
1. dice
2. crash game
3. roulette.
4. Poker
5. SPORTS BETTING.
I played more on sports betting because I loved sports, and I also believe that this type of betting does not only won by luck, you can grow here as a gambler and in the long run, you'll improve your skills.
For sure we all have different preferences and we can choose from the available gambling options like you love to gamble on sports book casino while many don't support it and you need to have a look for them as well.On my part i like to bet on poker as I have some experience in playing it and enjoy it to play with other members on the table and strategies are involved in that.So it all differs according to our priorities and we gamble for it. 1. dice
2. crash game
3. roulette.
4. Poker
5. SPORTS BETTING.

Well while both are considered 'gambling' perse, it actually depends on my mood and preference on that day.
Gambling in online/physical casinos has a great deal of variety. Not only do you experience different types of platforms, but you also engage into the game by playing it. Sports betting, on the other hand, involves purely a 50/50 bet. If you are someone who casually gambles for the sake of profit, then sports-betting is the way to go. But if you are the type of person who enjoys the games and the thrill, then playing on gambling platforms may be the thing for you.

I don't see any difference at all, they involved putting money and expecting a return, there is risk involved in sports betting too, take the case of the recent Pacquiao - Ugas match, many bet on Manny to win the fight but he losses by unanimous decision on analysis Pacquiao is ahead on experience but that did not happen, betting on dice and betting on sports have the same risk.
If both are risking, it means that it is still within the scope of gambling. For me sports betting is an offshoot of this type of gambling. While the concept of gambling is a general view and in it there are sub subs which are divided into several parts and one of them is sports betting.
Both we do, and it's advantageous if we master it. It's not that I often win against casino houses, it's just that satisfaction is of course for me gambling is the main choice. As for sports betting, we need to predict according to luck. Because gambling is a hobby that cannot be abandoned, it automatically becomes its own entertainment even though it has to bring losses. Because in essence we control the game and don't let the game control our emotions.

Your question remembers me in one of the sources I've read with the title Gambling vs. Bet.The two sources that I quote below, are very appropriate for your topic.
Gambling:
Quote
Gambling, in general, is defined as betting on any event with an uncertain outcome. This involves placing or placing a 'bet' on an event, in the hopes of making more money and winning, if in case a preferred event occurs or becomes a reality. Although, gambling has an inherent sense of pleasure in waiting for the outcome to come true, it also has risks.
Here, it all depends on luck or chance when placing a bet. Gambling has nothing to do with human skill.

Bet:

Betting is defined as predicting the outcome of a future event and placing a 'bet' on that outcome. it is a simple attempt to win money by carefully predicting the outcome of an event at stake.
Here, one's skills can help based on an event, he can research and predict the outcome of the events at stake.

From the two answers above it is quite clear what you say is not wrong, it is clear that gambling has fun and betting does not have it only based on predicting events if you are right in predicting it, otherwise one must be prepared to lose and vice versa.
Of course the mindset is also not the same in gambling and betting.
Both are a form of gambling and some people do Sport betting professionally as a primary means of income. You do not need a lot of knowledge and skill to play Slots... but you need a lot of knowledge to be able to bet on all the different Sports.
Poker players also turn professional and they do it as a career... to participate in tournaments... but the average "dice" and "Slot" player do this for fun ...in the hope that they might hit the big jackpot.

I think that those who make money on betting do this not because they are well versed in some sports, but thanks to arbitration and other mathematical tricks that guarantee profit. Because if you do not resort to such methods of making a profit, then no matter how good your analysis is at a distance you will lose to the worst bookmaker simply because of the math that works against you.
It's just the same just the pattern of different skills because it's clear that sports bets are made a lot because they really use skills to do it and this will be a definite income if they understand it, maybe it will be income.
In contrast to this casino game, it only relies on luck on the click button and I do this only for entertainment with more funds, the rest for sports betting I always pocket from capital funds because this is a sure bet because the sports I know will generate from these bets .
But I think everyone will definitely be different in his mindset.

I think it is better to bet on sports because at least you are not trying to beat the odds of the house however yes sportsbetting is still hard because of all the variables. I find sports betting more fun too because you can watch the games fold out while you have a bet on them.
So this means that chances of winning is more in the sports betting because we are not betting against the house ?
And what about the entertainment factor ? Watching the game is fun in itself but we are compare purely the gambling entertainment and betting entertainment .
You're still trying to beat the odds the sports book has offered.
Example, you beat on the game between the Lakers and Nets in favour of the Lakers +2.5 spread, your bet must win in order to beat the bookies' odds.
While the entertainment factor will always be there.
You know why? Because you're actually betting on the sport you've loved to watch. Most especially when you're betting on your favourite team and player.
When you bet on sports, you're actually enjoying the game while earning money or the other way around.
The entertainment is always there.
There are people who play gambling only while there are others who prefer betting only.

We have differences which I guess we can see more and more people like sports gambling because they see fairness to it than playing the casino games like lottery and dice. I both play, particularly in lottery and dice, and then move to boxing if there are interesting fights from the athletes I follow. I just follow some of the people who gave advice in here as they are describing gambling as entertainment.

It's not about the risk or anything imo, it's about the fun and enjoyment one could get from these two types. Yes, technically speaking, gambling is more risky since it relies more on luck, while sports betting relies more on analytic skills and studying/researching. Ofc in my eyes, the former is easy, and a yolo moment, while the latter is tedious but fulfilling. There are always people who enjoy either of the two, or maybe both of them and really, there's no need to separate the two since, at the end of the day, they're both types of gambling.
Honestly, making money over gambling has never crossed my mind once, it was always the thrill of the possibility of winning big or small. Yes, at the end of the day it's still money, but I never use it outside, I always add it to my funds so that I can play more.

There's pressure if you have a mindset that you can make money in gambling, it's hard to have fun while in the back of your mind you are trying to win for money, it's two things apart you either want to have fun or wants to make money, you could go careless and throw caution to the wind if you just want to have fun but if you want to make money you will employ tricks deep analysis even to the point of adding more money to have a huge bankroll, a player who just want to have fun knows his limitation even if there's a big temptation to go on.

I play both, been with sports betting and then from time to time gamble in slots or crash games or dice or baccarat or roulette (physical casino and crypto based).
Personally, I just love sports betting and gambling so I'm not sure about having a different mindsets.
Also do think that gambling is for the entertainment and earning money too but people do betting only to earn money and there is no element of fun involved in it.
Of course, I doubt that gamblers are playing for just entertainment, at the end of the day, you want to win. There could be some element of fun involved though.
Just a reminder though, to just play the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

By "gambling" do you mean the pure luck games like dice, rocket etc? I am asking this because both "betting" and "dice-like games" are gambling.
More have their own risks. In dice games, math/luck is the only thing that determines the outcome.
In sports betting, you can study teams, statistics, players etc... sometimes you can even get some insider information but when you reach that level it stops being "gambling".

I think their mindset is how they can win gambling from their favourite gambling games or sports betting but they use different ways to playing gambling. But both still use money involve to make money and risk more money if they think they can win on the games. But unfortunately, not many of them win on gambling or sports betting because they can not analyze better and do not have luck and mostly, they do not have the luck to win.
