Question:
Salam, I am a boxer and I often correctly can decide on TV which of the fighters win. Is it halal or haram to place a bet on them, as it seems it is a matter of mostly knowledge and skill in choosing rather than luck.
Answer:
To bet in any case where money is offered is not permissible. This comes under the heading of gambling, which is haram.
