if you can't control yourself, you'd better stay away from gambling
That is really up to you man, you are in control of what you do so you need to have the discipline and focus on your goal.
So your question is on how to invest without gambling, it's very simple, just be a long term investor so you don't need to monitor all the time and that would take you away from the temptation of gambling.
What coin I can suggest?? I suggest go with the best coin in the market, it's bitcoin, even if you don't pay attention to this coin, I believe this will rise in value as it's the king of the market now, everything depends on the future of bitcoin.
Hold it in a secure wallet, and there you go.

Your problem is self-controlling, you should controlling yourself, not be greedy and separate your crypto. I usually separating my crypto 20% for gambling and 80% for investing. If I lost all my crypto in gambling, at least I still have 80% to hold. Only gamble what you can afford to lose.
I've been around the crypto scene since pre 2013 pump. Been around blackcoin pumps, pinkcoin pumps (all the color coin pumps), all the country-coin pumps (remember those?), every shitcoin known to man.
I even knew about ethereum (commented on page 4 or 5 on their announcement thread) and was a huge believer in the project. .....but instead of sending btc to their ICO site on a summer day in 2014, I sent it to nitrogen sports with the intention of making more btc to send to their ICO.
Throughout the years, I've done similar things with various alts: Monero, dark-coin (DASH), Cardano, you name it. I had them with hopes of holding onto them to watch their value grow...but couldn't...and gambled it away with 3AM challenger tennis, random soccer matches, or baseball over/unders (though, when I go on a binge, I actually start off pretty damn well, but get tilted the moment I lose a few times).
I'm a big believer in the crypto space but it's difficult for me to hold coins without gambling. The thing is, I have no issue controlling myself when I don't hold crypto. I could go to a casino or wherever and not have any urge to bet with fiat. Idk what it is about cryptocurrency. I just get so into certain coins that I want to make more so that I can get a bigger stack to hodl...but then by trying to get more the quick way, I lose it all.
Anyone feel similar?
How do you combat the urge to gamble with your cryptocurrency?
