Why Horse Betting is not an Gambling in India as per Income Tax Act?


Horse betting is not an gambling while winning in casino is an gambling as per Income Tax Act. Why is it so? Is it difference of approach? Though both forms part of the gambling. Winning in casino are purely matter of chance, while betting on the horses can involve calculation and experience. People look the horse’s past race record, jockey’s past race record, diet of horses etc. which is provided in booklet at race course. As such people don’t do such calculations at the casino.
