Q: Is it acceptable to engage in sports betting?
Sports betting involves wagering money on predictions of sports outcomes, such as a player's performance or a team's victory. If the prediction is correct, the better's money can potentially be doubled or tripled. In essence, sports betting revolves around forecasting sports results and staking money on those predictions.
A: This is a form of gambling. Hence, since it enters under the definition of gambling, it is haraam for one to get involved in this.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
