Well yes it can be considered an investment and because its high risk that's why its also a very risky one.

Basically any types of stock or forex trades can be considered high risk investments also if you don't know what you are doing,.

no it is not , gambling and investment are pretty much different ,
you can not compare it and consider gambling as high risk investment ,
in gambling you will not receive your capital back if you lost but investment you can still expect to get your capital back ,
for me gambling and investment are different at ll.

Op clarify things that although gamblings is not investment, but as i see that gambling is very at high risk option for us to do since we can lost big money from it if we insist to gamble eventhough we are about to lose everythinh we've got and also maybe you should go if you want or anybody wants to invest on casino eventhough it is risky but this thing would provably can generate us money since house most get the wins at all.

Yep your right but the only difference is we can take care of our money or something you can go and take your money not like investment there are a specific time to get that. Really a High risk because you play too much then you invest or send more bitcoin of it such like that

Gambing could be considered an investment only for gambling site holder. Gambler are loser 99 time over 100 Cool

I don't think its 99% are losers but maybe more like 90-95%. There are some people with risk management that do produce a profit but most people are losers and the casinos profit off them.

anything related to gambling always has a high risk.

but if comparing a gambler with investors. investors may be safer, because the owner of the house always wins, and you should also be able to benefit from it. whereas a gambler has a risk of losing an instant.

It is considered that these are same, or similar. Because they are very risky, like a ponzi/hyip scam can be profitable if we are early players, gambling has the same attribution: risky and could be profitable.

Isn't this basically the same as gambling?

No as we all know the obvious output when we choose to invest on those high risk investment programs preferrable the HYIP. It's a sure loss.

In the usual gambling at least you can rely on your luck depends on the gambling type you choose to make some winnings and not just to become a wrecked one.

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

By my own definition of investment, it means put resources somewhere in other to get returns with risk attached so I will say gambling is also an investment which has a very high risk attached to earn it to lose... So its an investment... But with high level of risk...

No it should never be considered as a high risk investment, simply because the long term expected value is always negative in gambling. If you play long enough, with perfect strategy, you will always end up paying the house edge.

A high risk investment is something different. It has a chance for big returns if for instance the product catches on in the market, or a new tech is adopted by mainstream. The chance for this happening is low, but the rewards can be big. There are however no set odds for the occurence of "winning" or "losing", which makes it different from gambling, where these odds are set in stone.

Gambling doesn't fall in category of investment it pure like pump or dump thing where luck works also. You are always on risks of loosing money just few wrong results let you without money. It is actually taking risk of loosing even without winning anything so near it is not investment at all.

Gambling can't be investment even it has high risks to lose our amount there but it can't be fit into investment category, if we go with investment in any gambling casino than it's totally different than to play on gambling sites, we can consider hyip sites as very risky investment because it's similar to gamble.

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.

in my opinion you can't call those investment as investment either. i have a feeling that you are talking about doublers and hyips which are not investment but a gamble themselves. and should be avoided unless you like taking risks and losing money.

Those doubles or high yield investments are scammers. They just want to cheat people and runway with money. Don't waste your money investing on those scam programs.

It is upto you that what type of gambling site your are investing, if you are investing in casino and dice game site, then it is high risk investment as it is like you are playing and loosing, only different in investing is that their is loss chances of 25% rather then playing and loosing chances are 80%. What ever investment you make their will be risk without risk their is no investment. High risk High Return.

I dont agree that gambling is considered as a high risk investment. For high risk investment, the rewards will be extreme. However, the high risk can be greatly reduce by doing proper research and analysis. So you can invest in such a way that the profit will outweigh the risk even though the risk is high. However, for gambling, no matter how much preparation you have done, the disadvantage are on your side and you are expected to lose in the long run. This is no longer an investment but a losing game.

Gambling is not same as any kind of investments. Gambling is for entertainment and it is not for making profits but investments are made for earning profits. Both are completely different but many gamblers use gambling for earning quick money and end up losing money. So as per me gambling is never considered as a investment option.

Well gambling is the most high risk investment and you don't have to consider that as it is the one. Because most of the time in gambling you are going to lose but if you know how to control your temper and rage then you are going to get profit. Beside for being a high risk investment together if you are lucky you can also earn high.

But I think just by knowing how to control our temper and rage we can't always win in gambling because the most important factor in gambling to win is luck . Without luck, no strategy or methods or tricks will work in the longer run. Those may give some profits in the short term but if you continue gambling then surely will lose money back to the gambling house.

Right, gambling is not an investment because its build for entertainment which also risk your money there. Therefore you must not expect to get profits with it but if youre lucky then you might get decent amounts but it does not really designed for aiming profits it better to go with some investments.
