In gambling money or any type of currency is involved. While in a game, it is just only an entertainment for someone. Gambling can also be a game if you don't expect a return of it. You don't matter if you will lose your money after you play. While a game can also be a gamble if someone makes it involved of money, gambling is not just only casinos, or those gambling sites these days. Anything involved with money can considered as gambling.

Gambling is actually when you risk an amount of money in trying to make profit out of it. It should be considered as an entertainment, but it looks like everybody is gambling just for profits.
The problem is that a lot of people see the possibilities of earning  money without doing too much effort, after all how hard is to roll a dice or place a bet on a number in the roulette, so they are seduced by the possibility of great profits, profits that for the 99% of the people never come.
yes ever one want to make a lot of money in a short period of time. and gambling is really looking one of the shortest way of making money, but it is a  fact that gambling is also one of the most risky way of making money.

   Two many accurate comments on this topic, gambling is when we risk money or some other valuable thing we have in our possession in some game, in my opinion its same do we play a game, or we watch and place bets.
   This topic is a lot of repeating of the same thing, and people who doesn`t agree with this crucial argument just don`t know nothing about gambling, and placing bets. Games are games, they can be funny and for kids, don`t mix gambling games and ordinary games.

Different between Game and Gambling?
It has clear mean that Gambling is a kind of game, we always use a word of game for gambling, No one can say that gambling is a hobby, investment and job and etc. Only one word we are using and that is Game, because gambling is a game like other many games, That's why people get lose with it but still they like it and play it, because gambling has a lot of attraction in it.

Gambling is actually when you risk an amount of money in trying to make profit out of it. It should be considered as an entertainment, but it looks like everybody is gambling just for profits.

There only some very few people who are gambling for entertainment because most of them are gambling for the possible income they may get.

And a game is becoming more exciting when it is becoming associated with gambling and being putted by some of bets.

It is not being called a game anymore but gambling alone.

The difference is exist and obvious by my opinion. I am just surprised to hear that there is no difference from some people.
In gambling you make a bet, mostly it's money and you play with the interest to win more money that you beted, In ordinary game you play just for fun, cause you like such games, you don't expect any big prise besides to get the higher level or new weapon or something like that.

the point of view from every people is different and its fine to be discuss as long as we can receive other people opinion.

game and gamble is related and connected for two people or more and with money involve, there is a big different between game and gamble. first we want to play a game, but with money involve, its become a gambling games and we risk some amount of money.

it really is not difference in the opinions.
i feel like most comments on this topic are saying the same thing and i am not talking about spamming the same, but they disagree with each other while saying the same thing.
you can call it game or gamble or blah blah but what is defining each of these are the same.

a gamble is something that has risk and money in it, and it is that simple to define it. now you can call it game but it is still the same meaning.

Gamble is you have to bet something in order to play where you can earn something also. Generally money is always involve in gambling. A game is just pure entertainment, the only thing you get from a game is satisfaction by playing that game.

It all is very true and also gambling always give harm to those who do bet. So if it's always done every day or all the time then it will only give a bad impact for the future and also if it can not control myself when doing gambling, there is a possibility that all the funds that owned will be used and that can be very dangerous for the continuation of their life in the next day. Did gambling wisely then it would be better

This two words have similarities but too different meanings as i will describe it on my own words and opinion.
The word Game is an entertainment kind of activity to play or to watch and To Gamble the word itself is to have play on it and put a bet .When this acts combined together it will be called now as gambling.

The difference between game and gamble It's really simple:

Games for fun
Gambles for profit

Games+Gambles= Fun and profit  Grin
Haha very innovative explanation actually game means where we are not involved financially while gamble means we are more financially involved than emotionally. Its like kids play games and elder people like us Tongue gamble. But hey don't mistake me, gamble is worst than gaming.
Yes, gambling is too worst than gaming. I agree that games are made for our entertainment and fun. But Gambles is not made for profit. Yes actually the equation is like this

Games + Gambles = Fun and Loss ( this is for players )

Games + Gambles = Investment and profit ( this is for house owners )

Is this correct?

This is really correct,  good equation in here bro Smiley . Making gamble   just for  fun  would surely take  up  more loss  compared to  the  house  itself. They would surely make  profits from its players. Lossers are  more  on  count compared to winners. Game and Gamble  is somehow  the same  because they are both games  but   when  we say gambling  already  it  means  it has a money  involve in here.

the difference is only wordplay Smiley
and also you can say that gambling is a sub-category of games. which means you are playing a game when you are gambling but not gambling if you are playing a game.

generally a gamble is when you are risking money and making a bet on something that depends on luck and nothing else. that's why poker is also a gamble despite being a game of skills.
Yes, even gaming can become gambling when money and challenges are introduced within itself. Spending money to buy tricks/perks/add-on in a game is not called gambling though, any game where you compete to win more than you risk is called gambling. But, I Believe both gaming and gambling will give you addiction if you overstay with it.

yes but there is also a big problem about this definition which is actually one of the biggest problems many of gamblers have. and that problem is about the "Profit" part of it which is highly unlikely in the long run. in other words it is not possible to make profit from gambling in the long run. you may get lucky and make some in short term but after a while if you look back at your total you can see that you have lost more than you could make.

Yes very interesting explanation from him Cheesy You're right, the point is not necessarily enter into the game of gambling because not all games require a bet, but all games that require betting is already included into gambling. So indeed gambling including into the game, the only difference is their bets in the game.

i really love to play game, offline and online, but i don't think i am like to play gamble as much as people do because in gambling, i should use my money to win the games and i am too afraid if i've got loss.
