I think that high risk investment founds are basically the same as gambling. Just in gambling there is more fun and it's look like a game. As in high risk investment as in gambling the human came prepared with the idea "all or nothing" and the final is similar - all or nothing.

It is a game, you will play for your money in whatever gambling game of your choice. But many are misleading by this term about gambling, because many thinks that gambling is an investment which is basically not. And they are just thinking that gambling is a type of high risk investment, because of its system that it is a game basing on the luck of players.

what about to bet on one season long in sportsbetting?
as you put your money for at least 1 year and expecting to get profit in the end of the season,
i mean like to bet GSW to win NBA or Manchester united to win the league,
it all sounds like an investment isn't it?

"high risk investment" no, high risk investment means, you can considering and managing your way to earn profit not based on luck. Yes you have possibility to lose in high risk but that's because your management itself, like trading for example.

Quote from: uneng on December 15, 2016, 02:52:19 PM

No, it's not an investment. I consider investment something you have certain chances to make profit.
It doesn't happen in gambling. It's not warranted you will make profit with the money you use to gamble, the odds are in casino favour. Investment is very different from gambling and there is not anything in common. One gives profit, another gives loss.

That's exactly true. Even if you investing in bankroll, it's just same as you gambling, the % profit counting from people win/lose, if people lose you earn profit and vice versa.

Its hard to say but I disagree, I think that it can be considered as a high risks investment these days because its something that is done by a lot of people on this way.

Let me get this straight gambling is not a investment. Gambling is for fun and you shouldn't consider it as a investment. There are many better places to invest your money.

But from the definition of investment it means putting resources in a place which could be money and expecting a yield and the same can be said of gambling because anyone engaging in it including myself is expecting a multiplication of amount wagered so it could be said to be investment but with high risk of losing your money fast...

To be honest I like both of your opinions. This discussion could go on forever. I think that the only solution in this situation is to admit that in each investment is a little gambling, and in gambling is a little investment.

I would have favored butcherboss in this one. Even though olubams have some point but the deciding factor here is the risk involved. Is the result pre-dominated by chance or luck or can be controlled or overcome by successful planning and strategy. Here is where this two (investment , gambling) part way. They both involve, money, effort, time and risk but as I said the deciding factor is how this risk is mitigated or controlled.

For me, gambling can be considered a high risk investment because you will never know when it would stop from running or operations. Investing in gambling sites is a long term one, it needs a big capital if you want a big profit too of course.

Gambling is always considered as a high risk investment you are taking the risk that you will lose and you will accept the reality, Gambling don't needs a big capital to start and win a big profit it always needs a good strategies always remembered that.

It is a truly high risk investment only if you are a gambler and you are always depending your income with gambling but if you are an gambler investors and you have invested into a lot of bankroll casino's then probably you are doing good. No matter high risk type of investment gambling is, it doesn't matter because you can secure yourself with a lot of ways to earn.

Exactly it doesn't depend if it is risky or highly at risk . Gambling is definitely a risk, we rush our money in order to win. There is only two outcomes that make it really risky that is to win or lose in the highest possible bet we could ever do.

When it comes to investing, to gain a lot, you always have to invest a lot. That makes main difference with gambling. In gambling or the lottery, you can always hit the jackpot and win a lot with little bet. That is what attracts people.

I don't know if you've noticed, but there is one more interesting difference:
When we talk about investment we use word "earn", but when we think about gambling we use word "win" Wink

That means with investing it's profitable but when in gambling only if you win, but most of the time we loses because we do not have the edge. The two is really different and we cannot have it with one meaning, we invest to earn and do gambling to win but if not it's fine as long as we have fun.

Since it's a high risk investment, we should consider the amount of money we put to be our possible loses due to low chances.

Yeah, at first gambling and investments have different concepts and it makes us to be something to pick which of the more make us a profit. According to we gambling may be far more dangerous than investment and vice versa, because I see all of them have the expertise and also different ideas so that everyone has a different response. So now we can use it properly and think objectively in order to get a good profit

Probably yes, it is so high risk investment because it is depend on your luck. So wear green if you are gambling to win the game. He he. Make plan also is an advantage to avoid error when betting. And also you need target profit to avoid temptation in your playing otherwise you will lose if you lose control.

No for me because investing in gambling site will guarantee you a big profit, you are betting with the house so you are guaranteed to win all the time, that is how it works so we should focus on this kind of investment.

I know that gambling will guarranteed you a big profit if you win my question is can assure your winning profit on that? I don't do investment wether it's legit or not i will choose gambling what ever happens even theres no guaranteed that i can win.

The purpose of gambling is to have fun. I am not considreing it an investment. Investment actually can make you a profit and thats definitely not gambling.

they are people who play gambling for profits and some of them just wanna have fun. i agree with you gambling is not an investment. Investment comes with a risk so its gambling also.

Everyone thinks the same, gambling is high risk investment, we finally agreed on something. When investment has less then 10 % chances to bring profit its big risk. In this headline there shouldn't be "can gambling be..", there is no question about this.
