I guess you kind of make sense as there is still a high risk involved but in gambling if we lose money it's not the site's fault as gambling is luck so not always someone can win but if someone invest in these so called hyip site and lose money will it will be the person fault as he shouldn't have been greedy for a high return and used his brain
Gambling would become a high risk investment if you are thinking into open a casino or gamble house, otherwise no, gambling isnt no where near to be an investement. Gambling its a high risk attemp to earn more bitcoins then you have, investment would be trading some altcoins invest and hold for better days, gambling does change your characther and damage your life very fast.
I agree with you perfectly, gambling is very risky and designed to favor the bookies. I'm addicted to sports betting and haven't turned out enough profit as I anticipated prior to joining. We make the profit today and lose them tomorrow.

Gambling is indeed a high risk activity but it is not an investment. It's high risk because you can double you money or even x1000 it in just one second! The risk is really high and the return is too. But this cannot be an investment. Gambling is gambling. There is no way this can be investing as you are just relying in chance and nothing about investment.
although trading is also risky because you can ever lose your money there, but still trading has a little more advantage of experience and knowledge, where as gambling is totally depending on your luck so i fyou are luck then you can win and if you are not luck then you certainly lose.

Its not a investment, I agree its something that is with a high risk and you cannot call it a investment because you do not can get something in return like a investment does.
Its winning or losing and its all happening in a couple seconds/minutes.
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

Exactly! In investment there is some kind of... Work that can be done.
You can study multiple factors to know if the market is in good shape, if the company is reliable, if the economic situation is good, all that in a global and/or local perspective! You can do market research and market studies, you can do surveys, take the temperature of customers, compare with similar products...
All that added to a financial study of risks and profits, everything being compared to determine if an investment is a good one or not. That's a lot of works but that means you have different leverages to act on.
Whereas in gambling... Your only possible action will be to click on a button. Not much more...
This is true, I think that its a high risks investment but can be considered as that for sure.

Yup, gambling is the most at risk for profit. Because gambling is not an easy game, because it is in the system has been modified into hard mode. Where in any of our games are required to be able to defeat him and could do a game at its best. Indeed to do an investment then gambling is not a suitable place for it, but if we invest in a gambling House then that something a good thing. But still it is gambling harmful, so we also have to make double security

Poker & Betting ? Yes. Involves statistics & analysis. In fact a lot of people make their living on poker and sports betting.

Ok here is the difference between an investment and gambling:
An investment is an action you'll take with your money that will statistically give you your money back plus some profit. A high risk investment is just an investment where you have a statistical possibility to lose all or parts of your money, but the average outcome is still positive.
Example: Investing in a casino is always profitable so you have a very small risk to lose all or parts of your money (let's say 1%) and the rest is a winning situation where you win for example 5% of your money in profit. It means on average you have 99*1.05-1=102.95% of your initial investment.
A high risk investment will give you on average a positive outcome but the risk will be more important. That means that if you do this investment enough time you'll win money.
Gambling is THE EXACT OPPOSITE!
In fact gambling is as far as possible of the definition of an investment. Because in gambling the house edge makes it statistically unprofitable! It's an investment in which you're supposed to lose money!
