If I say something about the entertainments what we may get from gambling that will not be appropriate to another gambler who is gambling for making fortunes.
That is the point, when we are not having the right answer for why we are having gambling, then I too believe it is not possible to define gambling more precisely. 
"What is the most correct definition for gambling?"
There will not be anything like that, because every people will be having different opinion on gambling. If I say something about the entertainments what we may get from gambling that will not be appropriate to another gambler who is gambling for making fortunes. So, there will not be any possibility for finding a most correct definition for gambling.
definition?
that's a perfect definition in my opinion.
about the difference in gambling and betting, well, to me it's the same...
there's no difference if you have a strategy or something like, still the same. if you are professional at some sport, still the same sport, right? the difference is you.
risking your money with unknown results.
that's a perfect definition in my opinion.

there is still much confusion about the definition of gambling, including me. Especially about the difference between Betting and Gambling, despite the fact that I think Betting and Gambling it is the same thing. So here I want to know "What is the most correct definition for gambling?"
Don't be confuse about it, betting is simply gambling. And this answer was right:
If you ask me betting is a form of gambling.
Betting is a form of gambling and you should not be confuse with it as this goin' to be the nature of gambling. Betting on a certain game and risking your money for some matches then you are gambling your money. And for my definition with gambling, it is something you are risking your money with unknown results.
Gambling = wining depends upon your pure luck
Betting = wining depends on luck and skill of others (like players of sports, if you are betting on sport matches).
Betting = wining depends on luck and skill of others (like players of sports, if you are betting on sport matches).
The definition is very confusing sometimes since some people consider poker a form of gambling. Poker has a great deal of skill in order to win but there's also a lot of luck involved. So the quesiton here would be: where do we draw the line between gambling and skill? how much % of the activity is gambling and for much is skill? is there any skill to be found in dice and slot machines? i dont think so.
Gambling is something you risk for a desired results(maybe money or something valuable). While betting is an act of gambling which is usually use for any games like race, sports or any unpredictable events. Betting is just the act of gambling. So betting is under gambling. But these both are the same.
If you ask me betting is a form of gambling. Gambling imo is simply risking currency for the chance to get more. Betting would then fall under that definition.
