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

Rather than a investment, gambling is just a risk factor which has the potential to give a good earning with little fun as well go bankrupt in a short term. So we the users need to decide whether to get involved or not, if one's plan is to get a stable earning that can be got from an investment.
Talking about investment, it is something that would give us earning and consistent profit as much as possible and I believe gambling alone is not a good way to make profit, as the process is very risky that you need to put your money and just rely on your luck to win. Gambling may bring profits and may turn as a very good investment only if we are extremely lucky on that particular day. Yes, gambling will not be an investment all the days consistently.
maybe if you have money and you want to build casino or something like that, i think that is called "high risk investment". take a look on las vegas, rich people make their own casino and they make money from there. so they should get much profit from gambling investment. but if we don't own casino, then i suggest we don't invest on gambling. maybe we can lend our money to people which play gambling so we can get profit from that

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
I don't think gambling can be considered as high risk investment.It can be a game to check your luck and in this game you can be winner or loser.An investment you have chance to losing but not so fast like within minutes and in investment you have at least something left.Isn't this basically the same as gambling?

I am not agree with you, i think you are first person who said that gambling is not a high risk investment. May be it is not investment but gambling is too much risky game, no any game is here where you take risk in this level.
But i agree with you on this point that gambling is luck game, when you play it and win a lot of money than its mean you are lucky person, but believe me i never see any person who is lucky in gambling.
Yeah, gambling is definitely high risky game, but is it investment or not? I don't know. But a huge people always play gambling for make profit, even i think you and me also play gambling for making money, and in this time, we never think that gambling give us fun or enjoyment.
yes of course trading can be consider as high risk investment, i think it can really, although all investments are risky but gambling is a little more that any other investment.
Actually you use a word of Investment, so that's why many people are argue with you, that's why you using the word Investment for Gambling. But i have no problem everything where you invest money you can call that it is investment. But i am agree with it gambling is a high risk business now a days, and it is because of bitcoin has a great part.
In addition to what others have said, for anything to be considered to be an high risk investment then I guess that some elements of returns is possible although the risk is high, but you still get some forms of returns but that cannot be said of gambling as the returns on the money youre intending to put is not for whatever reason sure whether it will come back or not. You are assuming to have lost your money when gambling and thats not a factor of something to be an investment whether low or high...
Anything on this internet are involved of money or bitcoin are high risk if you are sending payments or just depositing payments or either investments i guess you are talking about the ROI if your investment will return in your bitcoin wallet yes it will return the half you are needs to invite some downline to make more money. Some people are assuming that they can really make money but they really loosing money. It's not about low or high its all about winnings. 
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.
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.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.

You can see it like that because with gambling you are putting money on a game where you do not know the outcome of and the fact that you have a bigger chance of losing is a high risk that you take. 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
The only thing is that you are not really investing in it but the casino is just taking your money.

You cannot treat Gambling as a HYIP or investments, its a form of entertainment and a bad way to loose money.
Well the risk is just making them the same but the way on how you are going to make profit with gambling is really different from HYIP. Unlike in gambling you are going to play for it but in HYIP what you need to do is nothing or you are going to invite people to be your referral that are going to invest, so they are totally different.
I will add more .gambling have also a referral bonus but the difference is the way you will earn on gambling is a little bit hard to win and it is fun to play while HYIP is mostly scam sites that will run out your money isn't safe at all to make an invest .

First "high risk" investment funds are nothing more than ponzi scams, you can't call them investment, you can't even call them gambling. In gambling there is fun factor, and everyone can win or lose, no matter first or last player. In this "high risk" scams only people who deposit first got out their money. And that is one big if.

Gambling can't be viewed as investment because players always have negative mathematical expectation, and the whole point of investment is to get profit, so expected value should be as high as possible.
The only adventage gambling has is its speed - you can win or lose thousands in a seconds, there are cases when desperate people went to casino as a last resort to get money.
And when people treated a thing as an investment, they are expecting a sure returns which gambling can't give.
But you know, people has different views when playing gambling. Others really putting some nice bankroll and will do anything to make profits. It's an investment now in just different form for them.
