Sport betting versus gambling are they the same?

[MarryL9]

Its seems so confusing in sport and gambling are they the same thing,

because I see that the two have almost the same functions,so I think and want to know if sport betting differs from gambling

I understand your point but I am trying to explain betting and gambling to mean the same thing and could be used interchangeably but sport betting is a subset of a gamble. We cannot argue this.

You are absolutely correct with your session because sport bet is the same with gambling and if you are playing the sport bet , you are gambling and that is the truth because so many people are trying to differentiate it.

No doubt, your point is valid. The two terms are definitely similar and can be used to imply the same thing. Sports betting is just one facet of gambling, which has become a lucrative business in recent times.

I understand some point and the point is that some people believe that when they engage themselves in sport betting , they're never gambling and that is why the thread poster is trying to look for a difference between sport betting and gambling which never existed.

In my perspective I believe most of them are the same thing. You are putting down a little amount of your money risking it on an event which you don't have control over at. This means that you are going to depend on luck to win.

Oh, OK, now I understand your stance much better. In that respect, then sports betting and gambling are alike and anyone who implies that sports betting is extremely different from gambling is just being delusional.

If you are playing sport bet you are also a gambler and you are seriously into gambling . This is what the sport bet players do not want to hear because they never believed that they are gambling, which is just a normal English word.

I think that any punter who refuses to acknowledge that they are engaging in gambling activities is not being fair to themselves. It is quite surprising to still see people who like to reject this status as if that is not what they are doing.
