Yeah gambling is meant to be entertainment not a job.
Yes, I agree, if we regard gambling as a job, certainly makes us stress if we lose, but if we make entertainment of course whatever happens will make us happy.

No, Gambling is not like an Investment, Gambling is a game, but in gambling games, we use money, but we are not doing investment on it.
When we start to do bet, than it mean we are use our money in game, and in the end of result if we win in it than good but if we lose, So its mean we have lose our amount on gambling, IT doesn't mean that we have lost our amount in investment.
Gambling is always a game, a type of entertainment which you should not get addicted to it. Investment on gambling only cause troubles and bad results. Too much gambling can make you poorer. Find an another real life project is more useful and profitable than throwing your money through the window

i think gambling is different than invest, although have the same meaning "a form of assets with an expectation of profit in future"

That meaning is too broad and does not truly reflect any of the two. Gambling and investing are extremely different. Yes both have a factor about chance and luck, but they really have so much difference. In gambling you can't change your choice. Once the game starts you already have a fixed number you need to hit. Unlike in trading, if you buy an asset it is up to you when to sell that asset. In gambling the chances of winning will remain the same regardless of being an experienced gambler or not. In trading, the more experienced you are the more likely you will profit from trading.

gambling is just similar to investment but in gambling we can control our earnings and we use money both gambling,investment but on investment we cant control our earnings and its takes time to build up unlike on gambling.
It's pretty similar base on you knowledge and skills, there are people who are making money in gambling and we can call them lucky enough to have that kind of skills and with their skills they can make a living in gambling, however if you compared investment and gambling, the automatic conclusion is gambling is for fun and and investment is for the purpose to generate income.

And people who are making gambling as an investment are only few in this world. Because if those people are relying always their source of living with their luck that's kinda risky. And for both, investment and gambling you need to invest not just money but also your time. In gambling, the more you will invest the more chance of losing but in investment that's a different thing.

I agree, there is a higher chance of losing in gambling. Unlike in investing on a business even if you invest some huge money there you can still minimize the risk of losing by basing on different factors. But in gambling you need to rely on your luck in order to gain profit. Also to always have profit in gambling you must have many strategies to use because one strategy does not always works.

As everyone says gambling is somewhat like investing just like in a business you invest like you gamble in a betting game when a business earns profit and if economic demand of your product is progressive and if not then thats the time you are losing your investments. The same with gambling if you are betting in a sports game and your investments is your bitcoin in your wallet and yet chances were there in a positive situation and you won that would be consider profit but if you fail then you lose the invested btc.

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?


Gambling is like buying a penny stock that is going to die but hoping for that 1 spark that could make it shoot up in price.  You buy it without knowing what it actually is.
Gambling is Gambling.  Investing is Investing.
On the other hand, if you just buy a random stocks and you hope it will rise then it's a kind of gambling, ain't it?

That is true, gambling is just a games and we can't compare that with any kind of investments. But some people think that they are risking money in gambling so it is same as investing. They should know that you need to pay money to gamble and that money is not a investment. But if your lucky then only sometimes you can earn some big money.
Primarily it depends on how you manage your gambling journey, if that is for investment to you therefore it is just and fair that you have to device a specific game plan and ensure that you will follow it diligently, this could be a very hard journey but the success is very sweet if you can do this.

On the other hand, those people who are gambling for money but primarily relies on luck, it's not investing at all.

Gambling will be effective as a investment when you have cent percent assurance that you win the event. Whether you bet on the lower odd or highest, the winning decides it to be a form of investment or just gambling

No one can tell you 100% accurately that any team or a person going win unless the match is fixed. Even though it is fixed but still you will have a fear that result may change. Gambling is just a playing games for fun but investing is to earn money over the time. You need to wait for investments to grow and it will not happen instantly.

Just because we are putting money or wagering it with gambling that is what I'm already considering as a form of investment, because are the one that will decide whether you will invest it to some profitable things or just simply gamble it and hopes to win bigger amount if you are lucky enough when you gamble.

Wagering is enjoying the games, not an investment. If you want to win big money in short time and enter to gambling means, it is not an investment but taking significant risks to play those games. Winning chances are almost nill in gambling. So as per me it is not a investment. Those are just fun games but need to pay for it.
We are suppose to do that way but the reward like we can win without limit attracts us to make it a serious investment, and of course when we are talking of investment there should be a careful strategic planning that is when we choose our game and use our skills. This type of investment is very hard since most of us who tried failed in the end and others even have a miserable life because of gambling.
But I think that is pure greed, since to earn any significant amount of money we must be willing to work hard for it, the allure of gambling is not very strong if you understand the fact there is not an easy way to make a lot of money.

Well as someone mentioned earlier it really depends on the definition of investment. If you take an investment just as a way how to surly make some profit, then no - gambling is not an investment, but otherwise it may be taken so.

As long as we are putting our money into risk, that is making me think that it is an investment. But because of your definition about investment and difference of it with gambling, I'm enlightened. But the only investment we can make with gambling is depositing or investing into their bankroll casino's.

Putting money in gambling is not like a risk instead of buying a movie ticket to enjoy your free time. So what you spend money on gambling never be called an as investment. It is just a fun activity. But if your gambling to earn money then it is a mistake, and you may lose a lot of money in gambling. Before it is too late, stop gambling for making money.
gambling is just like investment, because you put money in gambling to double or to win some extra from it just like what we do in investment. i think more than 99% people play gambling for making money, therefore it is an investment.
I disagree with that. Many players gamble for fun. That's the main point of gambling.

Gambling is like Investing every time we get lost, it is like being scammed in those HYIP sites. In gambling, the investment that we put is our money or bitcoin, we put it on the risk hoping that it would be back to us with profit by winning, but most of the time, we lost in gambling, making our bitcoin vanished in an instant. Gambling is a very risky game, though investing is also risky but not as big like in gambling.

Gambling is never an investment. It is like a games were can
gives entertainment to anyone who wants to play in a gambling
sites. Thus, gambling you can earn profit but in a risks way.

Have you heard, in every rule there is an exemption?  This time it is gambling being investment.  We all know investment does not come only in money, it is either time, or effort.  If you want to make gambling you way of earnings then you need to invest your time and money to learn curves of every casino, or strategy of a game you want to master such as poker or blackjack.  Learning different  strategy in textbook is far more different in learning it firsthand.  so the person needs to spend money, time and effort in order to accomplish what he wanted.  And this is called investment.  Investing your effort to master a game so you can have an advantage over other players in terms of experience and strategy.
In this way, gambling is definetly an investement.

It is an investment of time to become better at gambling
It is not a financial investment as for example stocks

Only when you invest in making a casino, or invest in their bankroll

Or make your own casino

If you do matched betting, then it can be considered as an investment

Otherwise it's gambling, having fun, luck  Cheesy

Only when you invest in casinos do gambling like investing. Because when you do that, you will definitely earn passive income day by day or week by week. However, if you gambling, I do not think it is considered as a way of investment because you can lose all of your money in a second if you are too greedy or in high temper.

It does if we invested in gambling or casino then it will be much more compared to gambling. Because investing is already have a guaranteed profit will have no loss if the site is trustworthy and has a good enough guarantee. But it all is something that has risks, so we also have to be prepared for all risks that will be given. But still we have to do it if not then we will not get things good things.Investing in the right way and do not ever think that investment is an easy profit

Both are risky but to compare gambling the investing on casino sites is a slightly better choice. Here we can expect some profit if we invest on reputed sites. But investing needs lot of time to double your capital. And it requires significant capital. If you don't have enough capital, then the investment is not the right choice to make a profit. Yes, it is not that much easy to make a profit in Investment.
IF you do tend to invest on casino sites its really an ideal to put huge amounts of bitcoin so that you could able to feel the profits and you are right doubling your capital on a casino house would really takes time but still its a good choice rather than nothing at all. Choosing the most famous and reputable gambling site is advisable because we could able to assure ourselves that we are putting our money on a good site.
