In my perspective, both are dependent on the luck.
Of the two betting is less risky because you can predict with the help of some criteria such as strength or weakness. But in gambling you must be dependent on luck.so betting is the safer of the two sides.
Seriously? How could you tell that it is gambling if you are not going to bet? I mean, they are just the same thing, the reason why gambling is called gambling is because of the betting, which it involves money so that we could have money in return in case we win. That is why it is very confusing why someone is asking what is better between gambling and betting, because there is none. I hope it make sense.
I agree with you.
Both are exactly the same thing, the only thing the is difference, as I mentioned above is that on sports betting the house can't rig the outcomes.
So what are you most interested at?
Unrigged outcomes or low housedges?
I would pick Unrigged outcomes with high housedges simply because I don't like the fact that someone who owns the casino can decides if I win or lose. I prefer to pay more than having my outcome rigged.
