In my opinion, investment is better of the two sides.
No, we could compare with each other, no problem in it, It is just only discussion about gambling and investment. But it is also good, if we are not doing compare with each other and just start both of it. But i feel people prefer investment than gambling. Because in earning wise, investment have given us more money than gambling. But i think pure gamblers always vote for gambling.
For casual gamblers, I think they always has a backup plan like investing your money. But for the real hardcore addicted gamblers, there are no choice but to put their money on gambling. Money management does not come with addicted gamblers, they are all in or nothing with no tomorrow. So I believed that only casual gamblers can distinguish investment and money management as opposed to addicted gamblers, who only think that gambling is their investment.
