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 the fantasy sports you mean are CS or the like, I've never played them. I've only ever bet on sports which is football because that's what attracts me. But just a minute, what norms are you referring to?
Sports betting and fantasy sports have their respective fans and we know the two games are different. And I think people would be fine if they found out that there are people who play fantasy sports because it's their choice.
