Topic: Can gambling be considered a "high risk investment"? - page 28. (Read 11390 times)
An investment is an asset or item that is purchased with the hope that it will generate income or will appreciate in the future. Gambling is not an investment. Gambling is an activity which you will risk your money to win a prize. They are both risky but you should not treat gambling like that coz in the end you will be the loser.
No i dont consider them the same and even i am more in favour of gambling than that of high risk investements because there is risk in both but gambling would safe your time and give you result within some time but it would take longer in investement so atleast time is saved and second thing in gambling you are the only one reponsible for win or loss but in investement you gonna dependent on any third party.
yes playing gambling has a greater degree of risk with other investments. for a gambler, this game could generate wealth quickly. but when we are wrong to take a decision then we will lose all the money in just a moment.

the different is in high risk investment, your investment need some time to become scam and usually more than a week or even months. but in gambling, your investment need only a second if you don't have a good luck. so i think both is high risk but gambling is really high risk and its dangerous game to play.
i don't considers gambling as investment because in gambling the results are depend on our luck and if i lost my money i had understand that i'm aren't lucky on that day but for investment lucky not necessary here because i think most people here know that mostly investment sites will ending as scam sites
It will be better at a "high risk game" where you just play. It is supposed to be like that, a game in which they make it more exciting by putting bets in it. But it had became much more that when people are trying so much to win the game.
Agree with you. In my opinion, gambling may be considered as high risk if you're betting such amount of money, but I also can't consider it as an investment. In gambling, most of the time players are just having fun and trying out their luck. Yes you can earn profit if you win but it's just that, nothing more. For me, investment is different, you are buying some thing, maybe stocks/shares or anything the same that you think that may be profitable in the future. It's not like invest now and in the same day you can double or lose your capital. 
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.
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

gambling should not even be "considered" imo
Well you are right with it but the thing is that we can't control all the people and there are people that are just becoming happy if they are gambling.
But the reality is that gambling is really a high risk investment, it is just like you are playing and you don't know if you are going to win or lose.
This is the most risky thing to do for investment.
Yup Gambling is nothing but Risk. Yes, some people intensively invest some money in gambling just because of their relaxation. And some people spend money to test their luck. And many people put their money in risk to double their investment. I don't know how many are succeed and how many are sucked. But according to me, i am not succeeding.

My definition of investment is something you purchase with the hope of it gaining in value, and playing casino games definitely doesn't fit that. The "HYIPs" you see on this forum are just ponzi schemes, and those aren't investments either. You're not buying anything, you're just placing a bet. Most of the investments, like cloud mining, are complete BS but they are truly investments. Gambling's not, unless you contribute to the bankroll.
i think Gambling be considered as high risk investment, first of all OP didn't stated what kind of gambling he want to point out. Buying Stocks can be Considered as Gambling
and they wearing a mask called investing. and in that case gambling can be considered as OP stated in the Title of the thread. Im just jump on this conclusion when i read some article
regarding stock market as investment and they discuss that this is a gambling for investor.

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.
