Topic: Can gambling be considered a "high risk investment"? - page 9. (Read 11350 times)
Gambling can be considered like that. Investment means that something you have bought or purchased that would hopefully generate profit or income right? You can control your risk by not gambling too much and be limiting your money you put into it. If you can't handle that, you should just consider saving your bitcoins somewhere else because in gambling you would lose it.
Correct . getting here and a lot of people know that bitcoin is an opportunity for a few people to earn bitcoin by making an investment site. but investment is far different from gambling. some investments are not a scam, but the average was not found in the online
Of course, with the gambling money you could have lost everything. I think you should think before getting into gambling. Just like with investments, you money also could be lost. The best way it is wise before gambling and ready if lose.
Even in investments you can lost everything, it is just going to depend on how you are going to take the risk whether it is with gambling or investment. It is kinda more risky in gambling as we know it is totally a game of luck unlike with investment, we are going to have a chance of getting profit for being a skilled person in any type of investment.
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. Gambling is a risky game that may actually change your life forever. I have seen a lot of people who are actually addicted to gambling and lose all their money. Gambling is made to entertain ourselves. Investment is for serious matter and gambling is not.
Purpose of gambling is to have fun? That is the shit reason I have heard many time here in this section. There are other ways to make a person happy without risking their money.
Gambling is made to "make money on a short way". The purpose of it is to acquired money even for a small amount. Because of that reason it's forming up an "entertainment" that's making the people happy. Like you said you already seen a lot of people lose all of their money by gambling and then you are stating that gambling is made to entertain ourselves and to have fun? Where is the entertainment part after people lose money?
No....I agree with Dmitry. The point is to have fun. That's why they call them "games"...many people don't care all that much if they win or lose, because they're playing with money that they're OK with losing
the point of it all is that people get off by taking risks, and whoever says we are gambling for fun, if they are telling the truth their fun and entertainment comes from the risks they are taking while risking their money. and if you remove the money part for example if there is a dice without option to deposit or withdraw nobody will play it.

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.
Agree with this. If gambling was an investment, it would be a BAD investment as you have a negative edge ( the house always wins ). You can get lucky in the short term but it should be treated as a form of entertainment and not an investment as you will usually lose in the long run.

An investment is where you assess the level of risk you willing to take and the rewards must be greater than the risk taken. So for example, when you want to open a business as a form of your investment, do you just anyhow open a business that you see down the road or you reduce the risk by doing some research and focusing on things that you can do the best in.
Similarly, gambling is definitely a high risk, but is the reward more than the risk? With the existing of house edge, the reward will always be lesser than the risk, so if you want to x2, the risk is always more than 50% so that the casino will profit from it.

With bitcoin gambling and investment were almost the same. Gambling when done based upon strategy user gets better winning chance. At times of losing situation too the loss can be minimized, but with investment needs a long study about the market as well the legitimacy of the investment website.
I agree but it also depends on the nature of investment you do, for example i invest in bitcoins and then once price hikes up I sell them and get profit, if you compare this with gambling I will quite frankly support price trading but if you are a investor in alt coins without much knowledge then gambling and investing has not much difference. Better would always be investment since it gives experience while gambling would just make you more and more addicted.
Let's be more matured and capitalize our knowledge and by being matured means investing in gambling sites bankroll is better.

gambling is investment impossible 
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 what happening in gambling you can lose your all money within minutes. In investment you have at least something left and you can come back.so gambling and investment both are two different thing.

I see investment as an intellectual action where you made sound decisions based on your findings so that you can minimize your risk and as the same time maximize your returns. However, in gambling you just leaving all to luck.
Yeah in most cases we can never consider gambling as form of investment but for these professional gamblers, gambling can be their investment. Learning all the data and strategy of gambling means they are investing time to have an advantage over other player. Investing money to pay for the game to know the how it work also a part of investmentl. so I think gambling in some special cases can be an investment too but it is labeled as high risk investment because of the chance factor that is always present in gambling.
