Could be. Actually it is. You use a lot of capital for it and there is this really big risk whenever you use it to play. Still it is not a good way to invest. Should be just for game and fun.

Gambling is not an investment, and if anyone thinks like that, then it is wrong because gambling is made to have fun and entertainment and we need to pay to get those entertainments. To keep things, more excitement they give an option that we can win money if your lucky but that doesn't mean that whoever gamble will win for sure. So if you want to make a profit then invest some other places where you can get profits but if you need fun then play gambling.

Yes, gambling is very risky, I consider it is high risk investment, like stock or futrue trading in real investment market.

Gambling on online casinos is not an investment because chance to get back of our money is very low, I am not agreed with you I don't take it as investment even our money involve in betting, but stock trading is totally different than normal gambling terms.

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

Investing means you put your money at risk and expect to get it back with a profit, in gambling you can mathematically expect to lose part of your total wagered amount. In investments you make blind bets, you don't know the chances of each outcome so it's not the same as gambling.

i agree , gambling is really different to any kind of investment.
not high risk investment nor low risk investment , gambling is just gambling stake your money to get additional money.
in gambling you have a risk to lost all money you stake , but investment you will still receive even a little if then the investment not profit

I think there was a misunderstanding here, when you are investing you are just simply putting your money in the pot money of a certain site and let the system work for you, we know that gamblers loses in the long run so that is your advantage already and you can make profit of course.

which is right placing your investment into a safe place risk are still there but chances of winnings is much bigger.

It is already given that investing in gambling sites are profitable due to the house advantage, some might look it as the same investment as they are thinking investing is like when you are gambling itself, but hell no, this is a better investment that putting your money in a HYIP and ponzi schemes.

True, investing to casinos or house itself would be always a best choice for me rather than investing on those hyip or ponzi sites same as you said,. Investing to casinos might have some risk but its not equal when you are playing against to the hosue because chance of lossing your money would be high.

I think yes, because on gambling we put our bitcoin/ money as beting. And we can not make cut lost on gambling, that why i never play gambling with big amount of bitcoin as beting. Because i must be ready for lost it.

I didn't understand why you're saying gambling is an investment. If you lose money in betting it is different from losing money in investments. Investments are made for money to grow but gambling is not meant for growing but to spend money.

Of course gambling will become an investment, if you make gambling website and take the fees from there. But gambling will become place for spend your money if you don't have control your self when play gambling.

yes in fact all kind of investment are risky, but gambling is a little more, but i have seen so many people who still can make good profit from gambling, therefore gambling is more risky for those who have no experience in gambling but not for those who have good experience of gambling.

Yeah all investment are risky but you can choose the best to decrease your risk..
In gambling i saw some reviews before in gambling section someone posted are proof that he made a good profit in 3 sites.
Money pot is the worst they are experience of decrease capital in his wallet.

Well, it could be people think so, because gambling is risky. however, in this case, you own that trigger gains and losses. if you play with reckless and lose control, it is certain that you will be defeated unless you have great luck, but if you can control yourself, it also does not guarantee winnings. but if you win, maybe you can get a lot of money, because that you can think of this as a high risk investment

I don't know why did you even co-relate gambling to investing. In Investing there is a plan laid out in which you know what are the risk from the gain, In investment you have the upperhand in which you know how to handle the risk well, if it is in gambling there is no turning back once you place your bets if you lose you really lose your money won't return to you.

So make our gambling worth it, don't waste time on those obvious gambling games that we already know what will be the outputs in a long run.

Good examples are putting investment in trading and if people really wants to do gambling, gambled only on those skill based games.

I think only poker are based skills games but this game still not making me a good profit even i am good in poker maybe here in online is no way to make a good profit but if i play in live poker i am making and lucky make a good profit.
So i think better to go in sports betting since its easy to predict than the other games.

yes gambling synonymous with high risk. but I think when we put the money on the casino sites, not the owner of the house always wins? so we will always be profitable? but I have never tried this, because I was still confused by this statement. but what I see from the thread someone about investing in gambling sites. it has different results in each site. maybe we should invest in large and famous sites, so it can be profitable. but the fact that the site is already a large and famous it did not accept the investment, such as primedice, direcbet or other sites. so it is difficult to prove and could only invest in regular casino sites, which would result unstable.

Gambling is not investment. When you play on -ev events, youare gambling. Only sports betting and poker can be turned into investment if you are good. I do well with sports.

At the first you will attract to play gambling because of its benefits that we could get in that sites but if you deposited your first gambling money you don't think the risk your facing off gambling will considered as high risk investment because you could just easily lose money there and you can't even get that back that fast.
