I think most of the time, investing will be profitable in the long-term. What kind of returns can you expect with gambling?
The return yo can get is just the entertainment, we cannot win in gambling in the long run, we have to admit that. Investing is the only way that could give us profit in the long run, this can be possible if we invest on project that we know very well. As we stay longer in gambling, we can find a method that would work and will give us profit, however, for sure it would not last as gambling sites always want to be profitable over us.
Not everyone think that way, gamblers think of the profit and the entertainment in general. We feel it's a good day in gambling when we win but when we lose, it's hard to accept but later we can still accept it as we have no choice, we cannot change the outcome.
Investment needs a good capital, most of us has no decent capital and that resort to a more risky investment, sometimes we also consider gambling as an investment, hoping we can get profit in a short period of time.
