Both are skill based yet former is considered sheer gambling while later is not. Fantasy sports has become norm, while on the other hand if people come to know that you bet on sports you'll be met with eyebrow raise.

^ that's my opinion. What's yours? Do you consider both of them same or different?

If fantasy sports is likely to be manipulated than sports betting, then why would you persist betting on it. What I would do is take a betting to which makes more sense to me and stick with it. I don't need to get involve to every kind of gambling. I just need to stick in which I can make money.
Also if you take betting to business, it won't be gambling anymore because rule probabilities in making money will take in place.

I'm confused, how do people think sports betting is pure gambling and fantasy sports betting is not? they are basically the same thing and the only difference is that the match on fantasy sports happen virtually and while the match on sports betting is not. anyway, I do view both of them as gambling.

Because every one of us sees things through different lenses. For me, when money is involved and you can absolutely earn money. Regardless if it is gambling or other means, if you put the right system into play, any person could turn it into a profitable money making business and income.
