It is true. It is better to invest into our own skill, then just to leave up to chance.
Heres an interesting article giving details involving Michael Jordan taking a stake in a computer gaming 'esports' brand. It is definitely a growing sector of competition with all kinds of investment interest including gambling -

AXiomatic, which was part of Walt Disney Co.’s 2017 accelerator program, also has invested in esports coaching platform Gamer Sensei and local tournament organizer Super League Gaming. AXiomatic didn’t disclose the size of Jordan’s investment, nor the other investors in the round.
Though esports remains tiny compared with traditional sports leagues, it’s expected to generate about $906 million this year, according to research firm Newzoo. Team Liquid got an early foothold in the industry nearly two decades ago in South Korea, where the popularity of StarCraft contests turned video gamers into well-paid celebrities. In more recent years, competitions have spread to the U.S. and beyond, packing audiences into venues like Madison Square Garden.
AXiomatic is co-chaired by Ted Leonsis, owner of the National Basketball Association’s Washington Wizards and National Hockey League’s Washington Capitals; Peter Guber, part owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Football Club; Jeff Vinik, owner of the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning; and Bruce Karsh, co-founder of Oaktree Capital and a Warriors minority owner. Earvin “Magic” Johnson, another NBA Hall of Famer and minority owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, also is an investor.

I really hate online games. Online gaming is very possible to battle between players with different levels and chances are the big is not fair to fight with a level higher than your opponent or lower. I really hate it. it's better to play casinos with real justice.
How and why do gambling has justice while online games are not? The game are a lot happier to do than gambling the reason they are called a game. Gambling has their own risks and if you will be thinking about it, you are losing your time on games while in gambling, you are not only losing your time but also your money since, let's be honest, not all of the gamblers really ever won on gambling.

Many but not all gamblers are claiming they gamble for fun and pass time. I was just thinking. If it is the reason why people gamble then why not play online games? There is a lot of good and challenging onlne games wherein you can interact with other people online?
Maybe they're having more fun in gambling instead of normal online game, in gambling you are serious and eager to win because you have stake money, that's the difference between those twoI think interaction online versus face to face is totally different think. We have so many who would like to meet new people, talk to them and have the best of the times and cannot sit idle or cannot stay indoor for too long. This could be a major reason why people prefer to go to casino not just to gamble but also to make new buddies

It is entertaining because it gives you excitement even if you lose in the end.
But if I will be having a chance to choose from Gambling and Online Games with a great prize, I would rather choose Online games since I know that I will be competing in such game because I have a skill to it. Saying that, I can say that I have a higher chance of winning that certain big prize on Online game than on risking my money on Gambling.
Why not drive Toyota instead of Lamborgini?
There is difference in the experience right so people who want ultimate adrenaline will choose the real risk of money other than in online games where they have awareded with some coins for free.
I think that's not a great comparison, knowing that a price of a Lamborghini is way above an average Toyota car. There's nothing to compare because the OP is talking about what you can do when you are just passing the time. You are just looking at the title and not looking at the OP's post. If they want to have adrenaline rushing, it's better to go to outdoor parks, theme parks, bungee jump, etc. lolThere is difference in the experience right so people who want ultimate adrenaline will choose the real risk of money other than in online games where they have awareded with some coins for free.
Yes because both of them clearly have differences as a specific purpose, online games are just to get pleasure with friends like mobile legend, PUBG etc., while gambling aims to make a profit even though it's not easy but those who are familiar with gambling will always try to get it. Although both of them have in common, the game is online, but both of them have very clear differences we can find in it.
I agree, and it also has a time and place because you cannot just gamble anywhere (except if it's online) and it's more fun to play in a casino if you are with your friends. The same thing goes to online games like League of Legends, or ARK Online, depending on what type of games you like. You could always risk money with online gaming too, and you just need to find the right opponents to bet with.People gamble not just for entertainment because of the chance to win big money. It is entertaining because it gives you excitement even if you lose in the end.
Excuse me but i just can't agree with your statement....
You're saying it gives you excitement when you lose?
That's a new gambling style i guess?
. Maybe there are some gamblers who do this kind of action to prevent being depressed I think. Sometimes when I gamble, I'm doing the same thing. Being happy despite of losing all of my money. This prevents me from being stressed and one more, if I have some profit already I already buy some foods so that even I lose all of my money at least my stomachs isn't lost Yes because both of them clearly have differences as a specific purpose, online games are just to get pleasure with friends like mobile legend, PUBG etc., while gambling aims to make a profit even though it's not easy but those who are familiar with gambling will always try to get it.

I heard many times that some people said that they play only for fun and not for making money. Now it is better idea for them to play online games instead of gambling for spending time and for fun and entertainment. When there is money involved, you should be very careful about that. Sensible man will never gamble especially with that money which is for his family.

Yes why not play game instead of gambling.Playing game now also is demand now to earn a big money that's why many young teens now is busy on online games.
Even the very rich are always eager to make money and they are very wise not to throw away a lot of money because of entertainment whiles there are numerous ways of entertaining yourself without losing a lot of money in the process. When people gamble it’s all about the money. It’s their primary concern and maybe entertainment or fun comes later.
Yes, for most people of course hope when playing gambling can make money so that the capital spent can be doubled because of getting a profit, even though there are limits to the money that must be spent playing gambling, of course everyone who gambles will definitely feel happy if they able to win the game, and the opposite, we also have to be able to accept the risk of defeat that will be faced. the point is not to make gambling the main source of income and to play gambling games just to get entertainment by trying luck from it

Practically, for those who have been able to settle their mind that they are just paying to have fun and place a limit for themselves, losing will not be a problem, which is what I am assuming he is trying to say.

The excitement sometimes that you are competing with an unknown person and in some games where reputation is something that can be pretty much one thing enough to keep the thrill going, I would say, for someone who really want to have fun, it is not a bad idea at all.
Now like I said, it all depends on the game you are actually playing, which as long as it involves money and have nothing to do with you using some skills to give you a chance of winning, is pure gambling, and I purposely used the word pure because of what I said.

You can earn money from a game, that might be the mistake being made there. THis is especially true with internet based games that can reach an audience of millions around the world and they are all connected quite closely despite the distance.
To be skilled and most able out of those millions is a massive deal, so big you could earning an entire living and make a career even from being good at a game.
Any game this is possible in theory, so long as its popular and able to gain advertising interest from that audience then its a viable earner imo. Even the old guys could find a game they are good at, presumably less based on reactions but I can think of a few that might be true of, involving more strategy.
The flipside to that would be many consider gambling to be a kind of game and these two sections of internet use do have a cross over to them, a mix of populations I think

I think it's better to play games online than gambling because online games is fun you can relax and learn more fun games you can go to online gambling also. This time people are addicted now to games and even adults are interesred here
People were coming to gambling for making money so they will not be interested in learning the games and also people think that online games were for the kids do you think that old guys will choose that instead of gambling? Jump to:
