I'm not a fan of gambling by itself, but instead as a way of studying and learning about other things.  For instance, I'm sure that if elderly people kept playing card games, it would help keep their minds alert.  Studying poker involves studying human nature and probabilities.   There are other aspects like studying risk in gambling, which is like studying risk in investing. 

Does anyone have any examples of how gambling is like investing?


Actually investing is saving of money to make sure in the future to grow the capital. And this will be risky because you can't predict what will happen in the future. Example, when you invest in bitcoin you can't predict if you can get a profit or it will lose. Same as gambling, you can't predict the time for winning and losing.

Differnce between the two, gambling winnings and losing will get in small period of time unlike investing that need to wait a long time. Both them are money involved.

Actually money is involved in both gambling and investment. That's why people seem like gambling is investment. Also few people think that gambling like trading. But in my thinking, trading and investment is safe-sound way of our money but in gambling our money on the highest risk. Only we are using money that's why gambling give us feeling of investment and sometime trading. Otherwise, gambling is only gambling.

yea gambing is only gambling we can't say it an investment program, gambling and investment has their commonly which is risk. we invest in gambling site then the win-lose condition is happening same like investing on investment programs. basically investing is an activity of putting our money on website and at the end of the time only two things will happen, we gain profit or loss.

but to me i think in most of the games we cannot use our skill and experience and we most depend on our luck there. but i think no one can be luck for every time. but in some games like sports betting we can even use our skill and experience our knowledge about gambling is also too much importance. if we have these things then we can make good profit even in gambling.
r

Skill are created within us while experience is accumulated by and give us lessons about our previous experience.  I strongly dis-agree that we cannot use skills and experience in gambling games.  They may not help us to win but at least skills and experience will save us from difficulties during gambling time.

That's an easy question.  It's when you're participating as the house instead of the player Smiley

Wagerr and Edgeless are a couple of tokens off the top of my head that let you invest with the house.  Maybe you won't get the thrill of the win, but you can get some stable  income via Wagerr's POS or Edgeless Lounge.

Gambling can be investment only in the case of nonstop win, but it's just impossible. From other hand investment in gambling sites can become really profitable as I heard.
No one wins non stop, to make it a more realistic definition, gambling can only be an investment if you put your money in casinos who offers investment program. That way you can ensure that they will give you a little percentage of their income based on your investment, this is only for people who are willing to wait, it's less risky for me IMO.
i guess when you gamble with altcoin or bitcoin itself ,
it has been / feel like linvesting , as when you lost the bet and price go up sometimes you still in profit!
and when you won the bet at the same time the price up you have a lot of benefit!

crypto world is full of opportunity.
What are you trying to say? Gambling is feel like investing when you do lost bet? How come?  When we do talk or mentioned about investing then we go directly investing on gambling site bankroll and thats the thing we do consider as an investment and playing on gambling sites wont really be considered as one because you do give your money on the house and making lost it all.

Gambling can never become an investment. Only way is when you invest in a gambling website. So whatever the profit the owner makes, you can get a part of it. But of you meant by doing gambling, gambling and investment are not even close.

Gambling can be an investment, if you know about what are the casino's do with those people that wants to invest into their site. They are allowing people to invest to their bankroll so that it can make the amount of winning higher for the gamblers. If you want to see an example of it, you can just click my signature and visit it.
I think gambling is like investment if you have good knowledge about gambling.

Although risk is always there in both trading and gambling but we can minimize the risk in gambling if we have proper planning and strategy to play gambling, even in some format of gambling your previous experience and gambling skill. Your analysis can also help you in gambling,

The best investment you can have is your own skills, I mean is gambling is just a game you can either win or lose and there always a risk thats why it is called a gamble. Your own skills and experience is the one who will help you to be at a advantage of the game. Invest in learning probability and statistics when you are in gambling. Mathematics ang engineering economy will help you determine the percentage of winning and the percentage of profit. Gambling is a hard game. Even those who use mathematics can be defeated. In gambling nothing is uncertain.

skills and experiences is one of the secrets to be a succesful trader/gambler. if you know a lot on that field you might be lessen the risk of losing but still you can be rekt if you had a bad choice. trading has a lesser risk if you just educate yourself about the things you will invest on. Gambling is just pure luck and strategy so better go choice between the two which path you are going to.
but to me i think in most of the games we cannot use our skill and experience and we most depend on our luck there. but i think no one can be luck for every time. but in some games like sports betting we can even use our skill and experience our knowledge about gambling is also too much importance. if we have these things then we can make good profit even in gambling.

Luck and experience still go hand in hand though they will be used in different aspects of the game. For example, in dice. In dice, you have to be lucky to win money from there. But experience plays a role in terms of when to withdraw. If you are not experienced then you will think you're invincible and you will just keep on betting because you are winning.
I agree with you as I am also at the point of view that if a person will spend some time at gambling then he will know the risk involved in gambling and he will gamble with cautions while a new comer will only know that he will be rich in nights and will spend their money and will chase that money.

Gambling is like investing, except with greater risk & greater rewards.

Investors examine a prospectus, stock options, do comparison shopping searching for undervalued assets to invest in.

Sport gamblers examine athletic stats, win loss records, trends, game history & other variables searching for the right team or athlete to bet on.

Gambling is like investing in the minds of the gamblers when they are depositing their bitcoins to a casino for using it to gamble. But that is a wrong way of thinking comparing gambling to investing. In investments, your fund will be used for helping the casino to operate unlike if you will gamble alone your money, you are the one will decide for it.

I hear mostly people said that gambling like trading, but you are first person who said that gambling like investment.
As you explain that in poker game guide us to read the human nature.
Than i think everyone have different nature than some trader think trading like gambling,
in the same, some gambler think gambling like fun,
and some investors thing, gambling like investment. 
Its mean which we are doing business than we seem gambling like that type of business.

although experience play the key role in our life. not only in gambling but in all walks of life luck play an important role, to me i think there are some gambling games where we do not need for any experience because there we totally depending on our luck for example in dice game we totally depending on our if you are lucky and will make money there then it is up to you either you want to withdraw your winning amount or want too play further with your winning amount.

money wise, I think there's a while lot of difference between the two. but I agree, when you consider it as an investment like to keep yourself sharp anf thinking when you grow old, you're also investing in yourself. that's actually a good thought to ponder. but not financially. gambling is never a good investment.

Gambling can be investing only when you invest in the house . I say it as gambling because it contains risk too ( Casino Bankrupt ) , other than this I don't think gambling can be investing but I have heard that people used to invest in a group of BJ players who mastered card counting , not sure if its true.

Yes this is the only way to make gambling like investing because if you are not going to do it there's no sense to gamble and call it as an investment. It is not investment when you are going to think that you are gambling, they are totally completely different. But if you are going to put some of your bitcoin to a casino bankroll then that's investing.

Yes investing in casino house is the investment in gambling but that is also a high risk if the person do not know about the casino as mostly the casinos come to scam people. The other best way of investment in casino is that if the person start his own casino.

Starting our own casino is the only way to earn sure in gambling, Playing gambling games doesn't assure us if we can earn on risking our money but investing may guarantee us that there's a chance to earn expecting that its not scam.
