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

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 it an investment when you are risking your money and hoping that it can grow ? similar to gambling , you are risking what you have in order to make it grow and you are putting your money waiting for it to double . gambling is also an investment that has a very high risk because in seconds or a minute you can lose all that you have .

Whether your how small or big your deposit is, you can't escape in losing on gambling.

with a bankroll which is rather big the only thing you can do is to manage your losses in a better way but the losses will always be a part of the game, it is a part of the deal.

the only difference would be about how you handle them if you have enough bankroll you can cover the losses and win some of it back but if you run out of bankroll you are screwed.

Yup there are both risky because investing is your just risking your money too there and you don't have full enough control on your investment for me its better to gambling than to invest money because for me you have control on your money if you played with your money right and you will win up to 3x

i think no , because gambling can't be considered as investment because in investment there is holding and using of btc for long term investment of time also . but here in gambling we lost all of our btc with single bet .

I agree with you, for me gambling is not like investment. because when you invest, you know the details of the investment and its probable return. gambling on the other hand is risking your money without guarantee of money return.

i think no , because investment is long term investment and subjected to markrt risk but here gambling is subjected to bad risk at its highest peak so i think gambling can't be considered as investment plan with high risk .

that is in fact true,even investing in long term stocks and bonds can be a high risk investment ,you can never predict what the future holds,where does gambling stands in terms of investment,you cannot even call it as a mode of investment, gambling house has the highest edge,so you will loose eventually

i think they have the same risk as what you had said,

But it cannot be considered gambling
since gambling also serve as a source of entertainment, fun, thrill and more.

and are not just only focus on the money that you will earn with a high risk beside it.

Yes it is high risking but I don't think that gamble is an investment. You can say that it is investment when you purchase something from a company. It has the chance to grow and there is a possibility that you may lost.

You are right, investment is when you purchase somethinng on that site so that you cann earn more from it.
Gambling is a risky as long as you send money to it and play with it , though you can say you can earn a lot but if you cannt control your emotions then it will kill all your money.

In this situation, gambling can only be considered as an investment if we are making money on it, either we are just a player or a bankroll investor as long as we are earning that is called investing, however it is to risky if you are playing rather than investing.

imo yes, by looking even casino with house edge, it is within 0.x % - 1% or somewhere around here.

Which means user still stand a chance to win, game is fair, no one can decide how lucks go

i think all kind of investment in the sense that in every investment there is alsways a chance of loosing money for example if you are going to invest your money in alt cons so you are taking risk because there is a always a chance that the alt in which you invested your money can devalue. and you can lose your money, therefore if you want to make money you must take risk and without taking risk you cannot make money.

Bitcoin is GOD

Quote from: Rubberduckie on September 08, 2016, 07:44:33 PM

Unless you feel like you have the edge over the house or you are
the house (bookie) it should just be considered entertainment. If you
go into gambling realizing its just for fun win or lose then you lose much
less. It's the people expecting to get rich because they won a couple times
at the local indian casino that go poor quickly.

Correct, gambling should be taken as any other hobby as a way to entertain yourself and can only be an investment if you are invested in the casino bankroll, you are the casino, or you are playing a game of skill in which you can turn the odds in your favor.

Yes I think it can be considered as that due to the fact you are putting money in it and its based on luck that is a risk, you are investing on yourself and you need luck to win so yes.
I think that that gambling can be considered as a investment because you can by the way also win money with it.

but the nature of the risk is more important that the amount of the risk when you want to decide if it is an investment or not. and since the nature of gambling risk is unpredictability and not knowing the future at all, it means it is not an investment unless you are playing some other types of games which you can predict.

It is right that gambling is not made for high risk investment but now it become for us high risk way. And so far as investment so it is for us how we use the gambling as investment or like a game. But believe me sometime it feel gambling is an other way of earning or investment for us.

Gambling is not a high risk investment but if you are playing against the gambling sites you are in high risk, it is apparent that gambling sites do win most of the time so with that fact alone you can assure your investment is safe and you will be receiving a good profit in the long run.
