If you are a league follower, know the stats, who is in form etc, this not a gambling!
Gambling is when you play roulette and anything can happen.

According to you which is not predictable, that is gambling right. Means the Roulette, Dice, etc. games are unpredictable we can not guess the result. So these games come under gambling. Then what about sports betting? Here also we will put money in risk and now we are getting unexpected results frequently. I think both are same but for you what change you found I don't know.

You are right, when ever we gamble our money then it means we are into gambling. With sports betting also we are risking our money on others (player's) skill. Fortunately we are using our knowledge that is the only difference in sports betting, still for a better result be depend on our luck. So, sports betting must be one of gambling type.

Knowledge is important but it will not guarantee you a win, though you know all the players and you have studied them very well it will not bring you a win. In gambling especially in sports, there are a lot of things to consider and we might be right to see what team will win but can they cover the spread or the line that was set?

In gambling, we can not say which is important which is not, according to me the only thing luck is important. If we use all our strategies, plans, methods everything finally our luck will decide that we are in profit or loss. So for me the sports betting and slot games both are same.

Quite true. Luck should be needed when we gamble. Sports betting and slot games are both gambling but not much the same, because for me you have bigger chance to win in sports betting if you're familiar with the game / sports and know to read and decide whose going to win the match.. whereas slot games it's only pure luck and the chance of winning is very minimal or slim.

well better chance of winning or not, bottom line is you're still gambling when you do sports betting. even if we say that having knowledge and information or doing research would up your chances, you still are gambling. gambling has several types and it just so happens that this type has a lot better odds than other forms of gambling.
