It's because gambling has different types from card games like poker to slots but there's money on the line. If you look at gambling that way others don't because they take the risk of winning big or losing everything. Investment and Gambling share the same thing called risk so others use this term instead of gambling.

Yes and most of us are gambling on casino's where they offer us games like roullete, slots and others hence most of the people have started to call gambling as gaming or playing games. But I think the dice betting is different and gamblers betting there can't be said they are playing games, since they are simply gambling not gaming.

Because it is a game of luck. You are playing with your own luck, and with your own money. However, it's a game you can't really play smartly... More of a random game, where you have a 50/50 chance of win.

For me, gambling is like a game but it's need your money to play that game. If you can predict that game, you will get money but if you can't predict the game, you will lose your money.

Gambling is not investment because there is no guarantee of return, gambling is full of risks and that the reason people call it a game, there are so many ups and down happen during this journey, people enjoy their and feel excitement and that is why they call it game, investment has totally different even it also has some risk and it is very similar to gamble.

gambling is a game that plays with chances. it definitely is not an investments because the odds of you losing money is better than you gaining. it should be a source of entertainment that's why it's considered a game. just make sure that you don't get addicted to playing Cheesy

Yeah, indeed gambling is not one media investment. gambling is a game that relies on luck. If you think gambling is the investment then that something was wrong. But if you say that lend money to home casino/gambling then it includes categories of investments

Games can't be treated with only sole meaning because games are applied in general.

If you don't want the idea of gambling being called a game then it's up to you and just stick with your own meaning of money investment thing.

i think it still called a game because we play games with money involve and if we are win, then we safe the money, but if we are lose, then we lose our money. its not investment, in investment, we deposit our money and just wait with no acting with that money, we make other activities while our money grow with our investment.

We call it Game because we just play it and have fun. We call it gambling because we also have some fun but we should invest money to it . I guess they call it game because they dont care about moneyy its just a game a entertainment to them and we as a gambler i call it gambling because of risk! Also having some fun while playing and earning Cheesy

Its a game from the word itself gambling game but theres a money involved when you intend to play. Its really for entertainment but theres a possibility that you would win some but most of the time is you usually lose out on your money. In short you pay them just to entertain their players and not as a money machine.

Lol another one of those threads.

Allright, let's do a quick google!

Gambling definition:
1. play games of chance for money; bet.
2. take risky action in the hope of a desired result.

Investment definition:
1. the action or process of investing money for profit or material result

Game definition:
1. a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck.
2. a type of activity or business, especially when regarded as a game.

You can see from this that all 3 words can apply to each other. This means that when you're gambling you're always investing and in most cases you're also playing games (poker, dice, roulette, slots, sports, etc).

Answered, so gambling is a game but also an investment. It's called a game because we playing it just like we playing a game and it's entertaining. Just don't get too greedy and broke.

They call it a game because while you are putting your money at stake in it you also get a fun from it,

And try to think about what a gambling looks like, it is a game, poker is a game, race is a game, sports is a game, right,
Sor how come that it will become investment at all.

Yeah you are investing money in it but still it is a game.

They call gambling a game because you nee to place money on some game that can be from casino or sports game. Whenever you gamble on anything you need to do something i.e you say red card will appear on road yes or no. It is also a form of game this is why gambling is considered a game.

All gambling have very interesting games and people have different choices, where we put our money on risk that is pure form of gambling and all people will do agree with this, this is really confusing when we spend money just to lose it doesn't make any sense.

people call it a game because it is a game and spending money on it doesn't change it. the same way you go to an amusement park and spend money on the games. but the difference here in gambling is that you have a chance of winning some of that money back and even make a profit.
also it can not be an investment because it is risky and you can't manage it in a way that you always win.

I will want to disagree that its spending money on nothing because its spending money for a return which involves risks that the outcome may or may not be favourable. So its not totally for nothing...

Gamble needs to be played in able to win the prize. While investments is like you lend money to a company and the company will make it grow. Theres a difference between this two but they're both risky. Gambling is made for entertainment purpose and investment is the purchased goods and hoping this will gain some profit in the future.

it is all marketing. It sounds better to say play this game bla bla

Gambling has a negative reputation behind it. Plus if your wife walks in and
says what are you doing? playing a game or gambling a bunch of money,
which sounds better?

Yeah gambling really made the lives of the gamblers have negative impact as most of the result of it made our lives miserable and wrecked. That is why when we are going to say the word gamble or gambling it comes to the mind of the people that you are playing only a game with money involved to the game.
