For me the simple definition of gambling is loosing money in long run as it will never give you positive results and will only take away your money from you so it would be great to gamble only for fun or for getting entertained as I don't see any point in depending on it for earning money or for earning a living.

well I don't think a lot of people are looking at gambling for a living though. there are still a lot of people who take gambling less seriously and don't invest too much of everything in it. we can't also take away the fact that gambling can make you earn as quick as it can make you lose money as that is where the risk is involved. its not all negative effects for gambling

Gambling is something we do risk in able to earn something which is commonly happening on gambling games which we do use of our money to earn money as simple as that. For sure we do have different explanations about what is gambling but I'm sure it does have the same thoughts in the end.Its risky and we should know it before we do try to engage to it.

never think that gambling are a place to earn money and get a steady income , it's the biggest mistake for me. gambling are indeed would always worth to the risk , but you should know the limit , otherwise you would gamble like a mad just like an addict. stake the amount you can afford to lose only and describe gambling as a way to get an exclusive entertainment that you can't find it anywhere else.

Many people said the gambling is just a game and another people said it is Investment. How do you think? Roll Eyes

Wagering of money or something of value on the event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning money or material goods. Gambling are requires three elements such as consideration, chance and prize.

Very exact definition, so it does not mean that playing in casinos are only considered gambling because it was not specified in the definition, even trading itself is also a form of gambling because we want risk our money to get a better price which is the profit we will make.

If we want to make money we need to take risks. But the risk in gambling is much higher. However it is strange that people consider gambling to be a mode of earning and not mode of entertainment and hanging out. If you want to earn money, get a job or start your business. Learn some new things and gain some new skills. Use them to earn and not roll dice to win bets.

that's like and most businessman will agree with this statement which is we really needed to to take a risk in order for us to win or grant success, both gambling and trading have this but big difference in terms of risking your money, in gambling you need a big luck in order to gain profits while in investment you need knowledge even you need luck as well but more on research and study to seek for the best investment that can be profitable in returned.

Well, it says in Dictionary.com

Quote

noun 1. the activity or practice of playing at a game of chance for money or other stakes.
2. the act or practice of risking the loss of something important by taking a chance or acting recklessly:

I'm sure that trading is also part or can be considered gambling. That's the best way to describe and help people to understand what gambling really means. There would always be a risk in our lives that we like to be successful in.

Its very simple like you say - but its difficult to explain to the addicted gamblers who only think of their wins and cant stop even after they win a big because their greed wants more - and that greed s never satisfied. It is possible to control your greed and not gamble like crazy. Then it remains a mode of entertainment by paying the casino owners - in that way.

Almost everyone wont stop when they are on winning streak. If you managed to turn $100 into $200 then probably you wont stop right there until you lose few of your profit. Some people are smart enough to stop when they suffer small lose while some will keep on going until they could keep on winning again

It is true that you can't stop when you enjoying winning and if you lost profit you will not accept it until you play continuously if you go into bustabit you will see lot of people there who actually making profit they playing smart enough to defeat the script on it they don't tolerate the short term period of playing they will play until they get what they want. If i were there once good profit is enough and then withdraw or save it for future purposes.

Most people are not smart and that is the reason why casinos are a flourishing business in countries where gambling is legal. The fact that one can turn their money from dust into millions makes then play all day and night and the net profit is there for the owners and not the players. They keep chasing losses and the casino profits. That is how the casinos milk their players.

For me, gambling is a game that can be able to relax and amuse myself. It is an activity of betting money. I can say that gambling is very much fun especially when I know the limit and I'm really enjoying it. Gambling is depending of people on how she or he defines it. Because other people for them,gambling is a form of investment.

I do not think gambling is a relaxing game, it does not bring joy or any relaxation, it only brings tension and anger every time we lose, i can not be happy when I lose money and I can not enjoy it as you say. With me, gambling is just a game of fate, I can not predict what will happen, sometimes I will win and sometimes I will lose, all depends on fate. Actually I do not think of any reason to say gambling is investment, in gambling all is just luck, we do not have any specific strategies or plans for it, so we can not say it is investment

Correct, I agreed on that gambling is really just a game of relax not a kind of business investment.
It is usually, losses of money.

Contrary to what many people think, gambling does not only occur in games. People are gambling every day, and to answer your question, my definition of gambling is all that we do without being sure of the consequences of it.

An investment to other people have many means i.e investing to play gambling is one of the common thinking of a normal people who wants to earn money from gambling .The other one is investing through real gambling which makes money withoit doing anything and it depends and need patient . Gambling is not as it is because of what it gives to the people who gamble .

Gambling is a game that we don't have any assurance that we will win but we still want to play because of the excitement that brings the game to us and it is also the game that bet is made for. We bet and we gamble, we play and we wait for the chances of winning. Grin

That looks little complicated, in my view gambling is the easy earning source which attracts the people easily, though it has got the highest risk factors of losing everything in a very short time period. In my view fun and excitement is a major concern for the one who is already having good backing. For common man the earning it provides on winning is the best and gambling could have never been popular if there is no earning access but only fun and excitement.
