There are event you can predict on that even though it's not 💯 guaranteed that you're going to win,  a level of certainty makes you think that you're surely going to win.

The downside of that feeling is that you might become over confident to use a big amount in the game since you're to a large extent certain that you're going to win.

Can we still say we are gambling if the event is something we are at least 90% sure that we are going to win?



Yes, even if you are 90% sure, it is still gambling. imo gambling is something where the outcome is uncertain and the value of your stake is always at risk. Also, if there is an element of chance that can affect the outcome, such as any-chance or dominant factor test, these are also considered gambling. Do you know about Snap card game?? it is 100% dependent on your skill, it also passes the any-chance test and considered as gambling.. Actually, we need to see how much skill or chance dominates a game, not our confidence level. so become cognizant of certainty does not blot out the wager.
