Hello Nairalanders,

The subject matter of stock market trading has been an old age business cum investment practice worldwide, and for those that have a small, medium and large scale knowledge of it will agree with me that it is either profit (GREEN COLOUR) or loss (RED COLOUR), which invariably implies that when stock trader A profits, stock trader B is losing. And we know that several factors determines cum influences stock market's profit and loss such as speculations, media hype, high profile political figure's economic cum business comments.

On the other hand, the subject matter of sports betting has also been an old age business cum investment practice worldwide, and for those who have little or more knowledge about sports (football, tennis, handball, cricket, gulf, basketball, etc) and the corresponding associations and rules that governs each sport, not forgetting the politics and speculations as some of the factors that influences some of the outcomes of matches cum games, will agree with me that it is either profit (GREEN COLOUR) or loss (RED COLOUR) depending on your hundreds of betting option ones chooses.

Now, my questions here is as follows:
(1.) Are the two subject matters gambling activities?
If yes, please state your reasons
