Gambling and game are closely related. Both are games and in both you can put money on the line.

In gambling your odds are generally not in your favor though. The house "cheats" a the game by charging a fee for hosting. In games, normally everybody plays by the same rules.
i think both have no close relation with each other, i think games are the physical activity through which you grow your health while in gambling games you involve your money for making it double. gambling games have no concern with your health and fitness.

Obviously no one likes the house giving itself an edge but that edge could be seen as a tariff for giving you its services, when you go to a restaurant the restaurant does charge you a premium over the cost of the food for the service they are giving to you.

Well, in the game, maybe you would not lose if you're addicted, and it looks just for fun. but, if you're addicted to gambling, you could lose the money you have. may stop playing games is easier than stopping gambling.

Only difference i can get is game is played with friends and family and their wont be money ya but simple competition will be their. in gambling money is involve due to this both profit and loss is affecting

Exactly , both were games its just the emotion and involvement of money is the difference. In games we just enjoyed it and becomes greedy to win over for ourselves satisfaction only but in gambling we enjoy and feels greedy to win more money. Game becomes gambling when there is involvement of money.

Games is more interesting than gamble and it helps you more proactive and nippy.

Well, in some ways, you may right. However, if you can earn some extra money by playing games, what will you think about that ? Gambling is a type of entertainment which allow you to have some profit while playing some games such as blackjack, roulette, poker and most of us enjoy them very much. In the future, maybe there will be some games helping us to obtain money online, too. I am looking forward to trying those games
you can now play gambling online, as there are so many trusted site where you can put your money and if you are lucky then you can also make good money there. i also consider as as investment from where you can earn money so easily if you have some good experience and knowledge.
Making money is possible but it is not easy at all, many gamblers spend a live sharping their skills to the point they become profitable and there is the fact that even if you achieve your goal you could be banned from the casinos if you play blackjack simply because you are too good at the game they offer.

Meaning of both terms are already explained here and mostly of them are right because gambling do really need to risk money unlike on game which is purely a game and doesn't involve any amounts and if you lose then you lose nothing unlike on gambling when you lose then you lose your money as simple as that.

the different between gambling and game is money involve inside that even for small money. in a game, we are only get loss but in a gambling, we are loss our money so we should be careful when we want to playing gambling.

in every gambling, the house is always want to take profit from the player.

Game is a sports and gambling is a kind of game. You know we always use word play the gambling, its mean gambling is a game, we never say do the gambling. Because it is not a job or business, gambling is pure game, and nothing else. But in gambling we use money that's why we all are greedy with this game of gambling.

I'm not sure if the game is a sport. But I strongly agree if gambling is one type of game. Because gambling is a game. But if only the game, we do not need money to play, and for gambling we need money to play. And I also agree that gambling was not a job or business. Because gambling is just like what you say, gambling is pure game.

Mostly, when we played a game, our main purpose isnt related to money while at gambling, money is a must. We cant call an activity as gambling when there is no money involved.

Yes, you say is true, very true, absolutely true. All of the game, any game, if you put your money to get more called gambling. Very all types of games, even if you're just playing FIFA / PES in your house, with your friends, if you put up the money for it, the person who wins will get the money as well, including gambling. Gambling was common, nothing in this world can be used as gambling. But the game FIFA / PES you will become a regular game if you do not put any stake.

I think sports and game are different.  I tried to search  google and it gives this definition.  

Code:
Sports
Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
A particular form of this activity.
An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
An active pastime; recreation.

Code:
Game
An activity providing entertainment or amusement; a pastime: party games; word games.

A competitive activity or sport in which players contend with each other according to a set of rules: the game of basketball;
 the game of gin rummy.
A single instance of such an activity: We lost the first game.
GAMES: An organized athletic program or contest: track-and-field games; took part in the winter games. [like the Olympics]
A period of competition or challenge: It was too late in the game to change the schedule of the project.

The total number of points required to win a game: One hundred points is game in bridge.
The score accumulated at any given time in a game: The game is now 14 to 12.
The equipment needed for playing certain games: packed the children's games in the car.
A particular style or manner of playing a game: improved my tennis game with practice.

from: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/139670/difference-between-game-and-sport

In short sports is some kind of physical activity that was govern by set of rule while game is another kind of activity that provides entertainment.

So basically this three activity , sports, game, gambling are different from each other but were tied by some factor like amusement, wager and competition.

It's obvious the difference between the two is money in gambling we only can use money but the games we can bet any possible items we have or treat our own friends.
In most other games you don't risk losing anything if you happen to lose the game unlike a gambling game, so the difference between a game and gambling strives in risking something, most of the time money, in order to gain something.

Yes, basically gambling is any gaming that involves money and where we are expected to win. I agree that gaming is much better than gambling since neither it addicts nor it develops a revenge mentality among a gamer.

Because gambling would always make a gambler think of chasing losses or taking revenge from the site where he lost, which is dangerous.

For me gambling is a game. That's pretty much it, but a game in which I can earn something out of it too. I don't play with my own funds so I don't have what to do. What I love the most is that you are in a community, not solo. So you are also entertained by others or helping some people who have lost a lot and cheering them up.

Game is a type of activity that involves playing such as sports or other competitive things that is played according to rules and is affected by strength, skills , knowledge, or luck. On the other hand gambling is one of the context of game where people wagered money for a stake.  The difference between this two is that game is applied to non financial transactions while gambling is the other type that include financial transactions.
