Re: If football is Legal in most countries why is Gambling Prohibited

That just sets the boundary and difference of it.

It's entirely different and we're just used to the type of gambling with sports and we always see bookmakers and that's probably why when it comes to sports, the first thing that comes to our minds is all about gambling.

Because for a long time, it's always associated with it but not just because there's a sport, it's always connected to it, it's not like that.

This is the more reason we try to differentiate between gambling and sports games and try to find a partway between the two, it's either gambling is detached from sport or there should be no featuring of physical sports games on bookmakers. I take my country for instance gambling is prohibited by law but again football betting is allowed and is even advertised on national television stations.

Every government that regulates gambling can allow betting on some events, they don't want casinos in their country but they can allow football or boxing or even horse racing betting, it's up to the government what kind of gambling they would like to regulate but about your thread football is a sport it was not created for people to gamble, gambling operators just use football for people to gamble.
