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

This is dark place were people put their money and I consider this place (the gambling/betting/dice and other similar things) I consider them as a dirty place and something that makes you addicted to lose the money.
If a person will make this place as a place for making money and for to invest his capital to double it then it is really a bad place for him as it will make him lose all of his money and he will destroy the life of his family and will put in risk the life of their family.

People may understand this but better late than never but I just want to give my opinion that people who run these websites are the bosses and the other will be mostly the losers, so it's better those money that goes there to be invested somewhere else or just save for the future.

nah. gambling is gambling. it's a lot more honest that most of the crap pretending to be an investment. the moment you start to gamble you know where you stand. there's a strong chance it'll all go and you get the result in seconds.

when it comes to these 'investments' it's a layer of lies lying on a bed of false hopes and delusions. and there are so many more variable to go wrong too. if I had a certain amount of bitcoin I absolutely had to get rid of i'd feel more comfortable gambling than investing.

very honestly yes i think we can consider gambling a high risk investment, as there is more chance of loosing money in gambling and there are also a very little chance of returning your money so we can conclude that gambling is the most high risky investment.

Yes I think it can be considered as a high risks investment these days because its something that is risky due to the fact you need luck and its also that you really have to invest money with high risks if you are playing.

The people that are thinking that gambling can be turned into an "investment" should wake up. Gambling was made to 'bet' for games so that it would be more fun. It's not made to be a money making investment. Gambling can be considered a high risk investment, yes, because you need capital and you risk those money whilst hoping that you're going to have profit in the future.
Yeah and actually not that people have understood and taken gambling in a wrong way rather people have misunderstood investment and its real core meaning, investment means investing money in something where the profits are guaranteed and the risk is negligible and there is no luck basically required.

Playing in gambling and investing in gambling it's very different. If we gamble in my opinion that's not including investments, since gains in getting the investment it can be obtained in a row. Very different from gambling that the gains depends on luck and it is uncertain.
it's really a different gambling into gambling investment other says that if you can't really defeat gambling the joined them since you are loosing too much money why don't you try to invest. If you think that you can really grow money there gambling with gambling investment are included i think? if there an game there an investment.

You mean investing in a gambling sites bankroll here?

Well the profit here is really a sure one but it will really take a long journey before we can see a decent profit since only a less percentage are given to those bankroll investors.

Yes right, gambling is actually the opposite of investment.
Invest is something where the profits are slow while we deposit huge money, but in gambling we deposit huge money and hope for big profits. Yes though if you invest in gambling sites' bankroll then yeah its a investment and a good one.

It's not opposite. Investment is a gamble too since there are chances of losing. Not all investment can make a person success. If that is, then all of us here go into investment since no chances of losing.

What's matter most is, in investment people can play with the risk so the chances of losing may be minimized at any cost.

Gambling games  isnt  a  investment  but  only a entertainment  place to spend your leisure times.   It would be called an  investment  when  you are  putting up  money on the  gambling  house itself but  if you are  just a  player   only then  its  not investment, you are  just paying  money  to  get the entertainment you seek.

exactly. I'm not really sure why other people see gambling as an investment because the risk is just too high to even consider placing a huge amount in it. it's a different story if you're putting up casinos and gambling sites but that's different from actually doing gambling

I have a different opinion. People are investing in Ponzi shemes and HYIPs, and they call that "invetsment". For me it is much more risky then bet on red or black in rulette where you have a bit less the 50% chance to win. If Ponzi can be called "investment", why we can not call gambling as "high risk investment"?
Who calls ponzi a investment ? Well that guy is certainly an idiot because depositing into PONZI is even more dangerous than gambling, not just you have to hope that the site makes some profit ( whatever methods or so called tricks they use ) but you also have to hope that yu invested at the right time and the admin wont scam yet.

Usually in Ponzi invest people that don't know that his "investment" is going to Ponzi sheme.. Or they don't even know that something like Ponzi exist.. And of course players that are looking for newly formed HYIPs and Ponzis - I met here many who claim that they are earning on this "investments" pretty well. So if Ponzi can be taken as investment, why we can not call gambling as "high risk investment"?

Hackers please hack me .... if you can :)
Gambling can make you rich overnight or destroy you overnight. You are right to call it"high risk investment". It's extremely high risk actually. It can give you big emotions for the good, it can leave you homeless and destroyed so I think it's more appropriate to say gambling it's a danger to our life if played wrong. Always bet what you cannot afford to lose and do not listen to your brain , as it will say to you come on this time we will win but you will not.

can you say me why people bet their money and why they bet all of their wealth in gambling? that is only because they want to earn money they want to catch other person money which is in opponent to him and that is why he often do bet the game.

Maybe what they mean is that they will invest in the pot of a certain gambling site, I think that action is a form of investment as you take part of the ownership of a certain gambling sites and with that you can make decent profit because the house always win.
Yes and I can also call gambling as a investment while I can prove the opposite, see when you deposit somewhere and hope of making profit its investment, right ?
Now suppose you are taking risk when gambling and obviously you are expected to loose then hows it a investment ? since investment are expected to gain and not loose.

Gambling is very risky and it's not good for investment. Gambling is just for fun for people who want to try their luck getting a win for their bet.. and most of the time you will lose a lot than getting back what they'd lose on their bet.
