Everyone see's investment differently but say hui said gambling has way to many variables to be considered and investment.
Unless you're a high stakes player or a pro it should be seen nothing more then entertainment.

I dont consider gambling as a form of investment. I see investment as an intellectual action where you made sound decisions based on your findings so that you can minimize your risk and as the same time maximize your returns. However, in gambling you just leaving all to luck.

For me, I consider gambling as a form of investment because you are investing your time and money for it. On how the way you are wagering your money and allocating budget for it, is already considered as investment. And yes, this is a high risk type of investment because your profit is relying to your luck.

Yes gambling is the number one high risk investment because in a minute you can lost all your money. Once you gamble and you have no luck expect that your money lose. But once you have luck expect for your winnings maybe don't gamble if you dont like to lost your money.

yes it's. gambling could be considered as a high risk investment because you're not sure if you're gonna win and can make your investment into profitable way if you invest it on gambling. even its a high risk investment you could actually called it also as a huge source of income because if you can win on gambling you could double up your money on bankroll thats why its all the same but still it depends how the players see what gambling is.

I know it isn't an investment, but in the last few years some "high risk" investment funds have appeared, and in them you can either lose it all or earn a lot of money.

Isn't this basically the same as gambling? Wouldn't it be faster to just deposit the amount in a casino? At least you'd be able to spend your earnings much sooner Cheesy

   It is investment in my mind, and there is investments where you sit and watch your money grow, on other side there is investments where you need to work for everyday.
   Here is important what kind of skill someone have, its possible to make huge money on gambling, but I think skilled trader will do that better and with less risk.
I don't think it is investment with high risk but it is also like gambling whose possibility to give win is about 50-50% .
But in direct investment we needed to wait for long time for return of investment .

I don't think you grab the concept of "high risk"  anyway, would leave you in that belief, i hope you won't learn the meaning of it the hard way.

Yes there is this investment that only needs your money to venture in their investment and earn money from that, and there is also some investment that needs a direct participation in which you are the one managing it y ourself.
Skilled trade can always minimize the risk involved in trading due to their knowledge, experience and skill of predicting the next trend of stocks.

i dont even think that gambling is a high risk investment because you could actually earned more money on gambling but still it depends on the game that you're playing so the high risk investment is all about the type of game and not actually all gambling games. my favorite game was satoshimines, poker and sportsbetting . ilike them because my money is growing while playing it. and i dont see high risk investment on it.  Smiley

Actually it is considered as high risk if you consider it as form of  "investment" because of the uncertainty involved in it.  Whatever kind of gambling we are doing, it is still a game of "chance".

Code:
chance
CHans/Submit
noun
the occurrence and development of events in the absence of any obvious design.

So anything will happen even if you come all prepared to gamble, you have no assurance that you will win.

ofcourse playing gambling games has a high risky investment but still worth it if you can play it without losing because you can totally become a millionaire if you invest all your money and got the jackpot. but for me im not actually putting all my money on gambling but still im saving it because im gonna use my bitcoin for more important things than playing gambling.

With bitcoin gambling and investment were almost the same. Gambling when done based upon strategy user gets better winning chance. At times of losing situation too the loss can be minimized, but with investment needs a long study about the market as well the legitimacy of the investment website.
op talking about how investment work to get profit in certain time , when youcan get profit almost instant with gambling. and he just compared both which it's not same at all in my opinion. gambling are just a game of chance while investment are a game of future saving.

I agree that gambling and investment are two different area as you stated, gambling is a game of chance where you wagered and hoping you will win a stake, while investment is funding a venture for future earning.   From this we can say gambling if planned right can be an investment.  Investment that has a high risk due to the fact that how hard you planned your strategy, you still fall under the word "chance" to win a profit.  Though spending your money, time effort to test different platform(games type) of which one suits your strategy best is actually an investment to create an advantage over other player and win the game.

Gambling be considered and illness and lack of braincells. Why does anyone want to lose their money in teh hope of earning more while playing against the house will always win in the end. Crazy crazy
I don't think gambler want to lose their money cause maybe they thinking with gambling they can earn money and we can't blame their choice, cause every decision have a risk gambling or investment, what we can do is just learn about gambling if we choice gambling and investment when we choice investment and calculated the capital risk and profit we can get from what we choice. But for me gambling is different with investment even both of them have a risk

We can't blame those people if they chose to gamble and take risk their money and hopes for some earnings. Don't you just worry about them and don't mind their own business if they think that gambling is a good way to invest their bitcoins. But there is a way to make gambling as a true investment by investing to the bankroll casino's.
that is a fact, i also think that we cannot blame all the gambler for their losing money, i think there are so many with any people who are playing gambling with planing and they are making good money in gambling. only those people who do not  have some good strategy in gambling and having not limit for their gambling can lose money in gambling.

Gambling is not a investment  is pure luck.You can win only on short term.
CFD or forex investments can be considered  high risk investments.

We can't blame them if they want to play and we have no claims on whatever they bet lose or win .They must know how risky to invest in gambling taking a chances to win by some skills and luck .Gambling house does not care about you your lose and what you play what matters most are the money they earn from you and other gamblers.
You the point it is their self how they are mange their money. if they want to gamble and lsoe their money i think they are just enjoying it but for others it can be worst of their decision that can help them to learn and realize that they are just losing their money in gambling..
For the first time they will play and lose but they will realize it in the future .

Yes, because since we are putting our money at risk in gambling and investing that's why they are kind of similar in some ways, but gambling have higher risk than investing because we all know that gambling can make our bitcoin disappear in time if we are not controlling ourselves in gambling. Putting large amount of bet, there and there without even thinking would just make you a loser in the end. All your bitcoin that you saved, all gone.
Yeah in gambling any kind of games we can say it is high risk but if you are just investors and you are the owner we can say it can be also high risk there is no assurance that you can make a big profit in gambling business but many things you need to do. security and large amount of business if many people are gamble in your site it can give you a fast money.. but if you are just spend what the earnings of your business if someone hits a large profit you will be drain..  so it is high risk investment.. but there is alternative that you can be a partner of the owner like in betking that you can invest your bitcoin you can give you slow earnings and slow loses many people are already taking this advantage and invest a large amount there..
