Bitcoin Forum

to all of you guys.. what do you think is better? is it to invest or to gamble in sites? tell me your point of view and why.

For me I never recommend anyone to gamble b ecause gambling is losing money , if it was full profit we would all be rich , righT ? most of people don't know when to stop and end up losing shitload of money .
Bitcoin it self is an investement , price is low right now and could get lower little bit more , so buy then and hold for long term .

I prefer investing than gambling  :)

Depends if you want to make money or lose money... Gambling is a recipe for disaster. Don't do it, just don't.

Other than Gamble or Investment, what about Coin Mixing? Any one do this here? If yes, what is your experience?

for some point you are correct.. but you know in gambling many people also win.. and wise enough to run away after they do.

Coin mixing? How do you make money with that? Is there any relation to mixing your coins like in Bitmixer? I assume you're not saying we should all have a mixing site.

Gambling is generally for entertainment only. You are bound to lose your coins in the long run. However, if you do stop in time, you could end up with a good profit. Due to variance, you are more likely to lose money. I would recommend going for investments. But at the same time, it would be a concern if the site owner manipulate the earnings or a whale come and wipe your profit. However, in the long run with no cheating, profit would be ~1%.

of course I would choose gambling, because during the playing of investment always ends with the scammer  >:(

do you experience already of being scam while your investing in some site? what did you do? and are you also a wise gambler like when you win you stop gamble already?

Investment is safer but requires a lot of background research, you need to know exactly what you're getting into and be able to evaluate the risks properly. Gambling, on the other hand, requires almost no thought and gratification is instantaneous. However you need to remember that the vast majority of people have to lose their money so that a small minority (+ the Casino owners) can take home a decent profit. Based on your own gambling history, you should already have an idea of how lucky you are.
One option that somewhat falls between gambling and investing is to buy and sell new coins as they are released on exchanges. Here you don't need to worry about whether the coin is a scam or not, you're not gonna be holding the coin for long, you're just gambling on short term gain (most new coins experience a peak of sorts sometimes after they make their debut on exchanges).

i'll go for Invest
I admit i gamble from time to time but its a game of chance, once i bet my bitcoins, i don't expect it to come back
Unlike investing, If i invest my bitcoin, i expect a return of at least 20%.

Gamble.  It's more fun.

the best and least stressful way is long-term invest. I tried short-term investments, gamble, mining..but hey, long-term investment with bitcoins on paper walllets is way to go:)

In bitcoinland investing is a gamble. :)

With those two the probability of losing money is way too high, but with gambling at least you have fun.

I'll prefer gambling behalf of investing at mining (because, it takes long to get ROI) and ponzi/HYIP (because, there's no gurantee to get back our money) :P


~Rude Boy :-*

It is best to play the stock market

No difference.

I can't think of a situation where gambling would be better than investing unless you're just wanting to have fun. Gambling is not a valid way to earn money. It's more of an outlet to have a little fun with a possible reward at the end. The ones that use gambling to earn real money are the ones that usually lose the most. However, there are some investments that are so bad you might as well gamble your Bitcoin instead, like ponzi's. Invest into safe options that impose a decent balance between risk and ROI.

If its investing to cloudmining sites like scrypt.cc, cloudminr.io or coinsera you are like gambling as well because you have no idea if the site is legit or not. So want to gamble i'll go to a legit gambling site not invest to a ponzi site. But if there is a legit bitcoin investment site, i'll go for investment.

depends on your investment. high risk investments are like gambling too so... there's little difference :)

yes I've experienced some scam. yes, when I win big at gambling, partly I sell. and playing with an initial capital  :)

Why gamble when you can invest in a gambling website. You can't beat the house so why not be the house?

I do both, when I invest in a gambling site. Lot's of these sites offer the chance for everyone to invest in them. You get a share in the winnings and take a loss, when they lose. It's a very high risk investment, because you never know who you are investing in, but the rewards can be high too, if they do not run.

I like high risk, high yield investments but you have to take calculated risks in betting on more reputable operations with a good track record.  ::)

I don't have much to invest in anything. So right now I'm a reseller and gamble a little. Life too short to not try yo luck !

better you trade your coins than you invest in ponzi or gamble. gamble or invest have risk lose your money

and why do you think trading bears little or no risk compared to gambling and ponzis?

lolz ..good point... hahaha... hmmm... it is really hard to beat the house... i dont know any casino that lose more than earn more... well il take your advice too.. thanks.. :P

ok.. do you already experience a high lost in investment on gambiling sites? or in the long run you just earn and earn? i want to here from your experience. :P

I suggested you to invest than playing gambling but if you good ebough at gambling why not ?  ;D

i'd gamble if i want to have fun,
i'd invest if i want to have fun in the future.

gambling is driven by chance while investment is giving yourself a chance in the future

btw what kind of investment are we talking about? not those ponzi sites right?

A guy who would have invested in apple 500$ back then would be a millionaire today, A guy who had gambled $500 back then how much he could have won? If even he was extremely lucky? 10K Dollars 20K at max.

Investments are the best gambles. The are slow and can give you time to quit early or make tons of profits :)

Depending what investment you choose it is like gambling anyway. I think investing is better when you do due diligence before hand. Gambling on gambling sites is a mugs game and sooner or later if you play more than for fun you will go broken and lose families money on the process. (The house will always win)

You should gamble on sites I'm invested in  ;)

Or you can do both, split funds 50/50 and see which option works better for you. Or invest and gamble only your investment profits (if any).

Whatever you do - diversify your funds, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

if you can afford to lose it, gamble it

i will choose invest...
invest you not lose oyur money, but if the investation is good, you can get more much benefit from here,
invest like as home, garden, etc like same it..
but, if the price have your invest not have price high, netral, you not lose your money and not get money too.. netral.
but, gamble, is illegitimate and you can lose your money too..
its like lucky positions.

gamble?, hell no, only if you have lot of money and you dont care if you loose it or not :)

i like gambling sites but only for fun, not to bet my money, maybe because i have very bad lucky and im scared xD dunno.

invest, yes maybe is better than gamble, but be very carrefully with scams or you will loose your money faster than with gambling lol

Invest and gamble is similar to each other. With the main difference that one is illegal in most country - online gambling. If it is not illegal for you to gamble online and you're good at it, go ahead.

Personally, I prefer to invest than gamble. I am not good at gambling so investing would be a better path for me to earn Bitcoin from Bitcoin. Whatever you choose... always remember to gamble/invest what you can afford to lose.

I will go with invest, The difference between gamble and Invest is that Gambling is just a game with a probability for you to win ( Really slim :p )
While Invest is More safe because the money that you put is clear,it was for that company you invested into.
But still always remember the golden rule : Dont invest/gamble more than you can afford to rule :D

Neither, but if you have to choose, invest. The house edge will be in your favor as opposed to against it. I think that just holding bitcoin is investment enough.

Gambling is always loosing money but it's fun. Invest is difficult but if you are smart you can make good money

Just go for the fun. Life is too short.  ;D

Depends on what you want to achieve.
If you want to have fun and spend some time, then obviously gamble.
If you want to try (yes, try, because there's still a risk like in any investment) to earn some money, then obviously invest.

Neither.

Investing in this space is just as shit as gambling because you're just giving money to anonymous scum and hoping they don't rape you.

Gambling is fucking dumb and I find it astounding that it's often offered here as a legit way of increasing your coins. In how many investment forums do you read - 'hey, I'm looking to increase my returns on my dollars' and the answer is 'gamble it, dude.'

This thread is littered with people who pissed it all away - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1126399.0;topicseen

Gambling i think, because gambling is funny to playing  :D

I like investing and don't recommend gambling unless you accept that you will be losing money.

That's the trick. You need to estimate the risk of getting raped, confront it with possible gains and decide whether it's worth it or not.
There is no such thing as risk-free investment.


You won't see it in investment forums, as gambling is not considered an investment. And gambling is a legit way of increasing your coins (unless illegal in your jurisdiction), just not particularly the smart one.

I like to gamble from time to time but it can quickly turn from fun to a drama.  
I'd invest, although there's a lot of uncertainty in the crypto world right now.

if I were you i'll divide my profit into two..50% in gambling and 50% in investment..if you lose in gambling atleast you didn't lose all your profit and still earning in investment..play for fun while waiting..

i think it is better to invest but of course not into hyip as its usually just a scam and on gambling you will loose everything imo

Well this should be self explanatory, no? Why would you ever gamble for God's sake? If anyghing was possible by gambling, people would find ways in the last 100 years on making money, it's simple as that.

That leaves you with investing, but investing in what is a right question. I sgill haven't found anything worth of investing in the crypto ecosystem. Everything is full of scams and short lived pump and dumps.

So here comes my advice, don't do either. Leave your bitcoins in cold storage and wait for the mass adoption. This just might be your best investment.

Well this should be self explanatory, no?
If you don't believe anyone can make a profit by gambling, then invest in the house maybe? There are still a few decent sites that would offer such option.


And how will ever the mass adoption happen if everyone keeps their BTC in cold storages?

Investing can still be gambling, but obviously one hopes that you are being prudent and doing research, stacking the odds more in favor. Obviously I believe in investing.

If it turns into drama, then you don't afford to lose the money you gamble and you should stop gambling.
And if you don't afford to lose money, then you should also not invest, because an investment means some risk too.

Investment is considered safe but not all investments. BTC investments are not safe at all because you're trusting someone you don't know at all with just a site and a name and they can run away pretty easily with all your investment funds. There aren't any legit investment options with BTC but you can lend here on the forum with proper collateral but again it has it's own risks. For me I prefer gambling, I wouldn't recommend it to anybody but I don't have the patience to invest in something and they just wait for it to gain some profit, it's boring, I'd rather gamble and take my chance.

If you want to invest, then invest in an idea, think of something a business , a website that can bring good returns and invest your money and effort into making it success.

Well neither will mass adoption happen if you piss away your bitcoins on online gambling!!

I meant stick them in a cold storage instead of gambling and investing in shady businesses. Of course, all of the bitcoiners should have obligation to spend bitcoins daily to boost the usage and make number of transactions go up. This should everyone do!

GAMBLE OR INVEST?... sounds like "do I want more or less BTC than I currently have?".

Some say gambling is fun, I tend to disagree. I've posted this before, gambling creates addiction which people often confuse it with fun. People gamble to win, not to have fun. Just think how popular dice gambling is among BTC gamblers, and I absolutely fail to see the "fun" side of dice. It's addictive, it gives you the illusion of magical winning formula, well, everything but fun.

Investing in the right thing at the right time can be indeed rewarding. But some would argue that investing itself is gambling... oh, I'll let you guys debate this further more!

Well, everything has it own risk but if you want to grow your coins i recommend you to invest. But, take a note that internet "investments" nowadays is full of scam, ponzis, and shits you really have to research on the legit investment so that your coins can grow not blown away by someone.

Don't even consider gambling.

Some people try to equate gambling with not very trustworthy investments. But it is not the same.

Investing supposes that the business would do the best for making profit, and trusts the word of the owner (along with some other considerations i.e: is that profit possible, trajectory, etc.) that it is not a scam.

Gambling knows right from the start that the gambling site gets its profit from the gamblers losing money. It is just that some people hope that the losers will be others, and not themselves.

So investing has hope in that everyone wins his part, but gambling has hope that I will profit while others lose.

Not the same by any means.

If you're not a patient person, then you should avoid both things. Investment is a way to earn money which we have to wait for long time. Gambling sometimes could be a shortcut way to get money, but a not patient people wont win there. If you are a patient person, then I think gambling is better. In my opinion, investment is a good way, but we need big capitals to get nice profit.

For investment option , better check very carefully for what are you invest. Sometimes what we invest will be turn into scam.
But if we invest on right side for example :  property,gold,etc I'm sure you can save your future by investing

IT all comes down to risk.  In both situations your risking your money in hopes of a profit.  In gambling your generally playing against the odds, hoping that luck and faith are on your side.  Though this is not true when you introduce counting cards, then the odds can tip slightly back in your favor but I sadly do not have this skill. 
I like investing personally.  Still risking your money but I feel better knowing I'm holding a type of asset (bitcoin, stocks, bond, silver, gold) 
It could all be considered gambling I guess, I just view it as risk management. 
Roulette is fun from time to time though  ;)

If site is a respected one and been a year or so, then it will be safe to invest in it.
Because due to house edge, the house always wins in the long run and the gamblers always loose, but exceptions are always there.

I think better is to invest then to gamble in sites because it is a safer way to increase your money.

Gambling not at all a simple way to gain profit. it is a rare occasion that someone wins and actually profits from his initial input Bitcoin

Yeah thats why we have to become a patient person for that. There were some person who couldnt waited patiently to get nice profit, so they chose a ponzi site to get bigger, and in the end they were scammed. Then, with property, gold, and other example of investment, we need atleast over 5 years to get good profit from that.

its true that when one person is impatient they cannot achieve what they want to achieve... hmmm.. thanks for the advice... il take it for now....

Investing is gambling. By investing you are BETTING that you'll get a great result off your investment, this requires basically faith, hence its gambling. Of course, you should have better odds than pure raw luck of actual gambling.

invest in some legitimate company..
gambling can make you gain a lot of profit but it much higher chance to loss than to win..

The problem is deciding which company is legitimate. Just take a look at some of the Bitcoin mining hardware sellers. More than half of them turned out to be scams or just went bankrupt and most seemed to be legitimate for months or even years.

I think both of them is gamble if you are talking about bitcoin :D

Better to invest if you know the casino owner. Gambling? Yes if you are a good poker player.

i think better to invest ..gambling only makes you lose youre bitcoin :))...investing maybe you have a chance ..gambling you have none

If we talk about gamblers, all of them loose and only a few lucky people win.
But investing in the house is a good decision.
But it is risky because sometimes a house also loose because of some bugs in the games.

A good question maybe where do we invest?
If we plan to invest on those 200% rewards in 24 hours or double your bitcoins sites, then its like gambling as well.

In the games, you can only rely on your luck in investing to make easier to understand how it works.

There aren't many places to invest in the Bitocin ecosystem that don't feel like a huge gamble. Personally im only holding some maidsafe and monero because i cant trust anything else long term ish.

Bitcoin=Gambling

Gambling is fun, but invest is not. And with gambling, you dont need to wait for long time to get the result. In investment, you have to wait atleast 5 years. The both principal are same, but technically are different.

to invest of course because in gambling you win 1 and lose 2 or more :)))

In gambling, you bet 1 and could get 2, even more if you get the right odds for that. The key is play it wisely and patiently ;)

If somebody do not need quick money and have enough money to provide their necessities, they can invest and wait for getting profits.
If somebody need quick money, they choice to play gamble. Maybe they can loose quick, but this is the risk of gamble.

Investing is a game. I think even more than gambling in a casino roulette or poker. It all depends on your experience and the ability to see things that others do not notice

if you want to gamble go to a gambling site and have fun.
if you want to invest and earn, go to an investment site.
both cant be done in same site unless you want to invest in a gambling site go ahead.

Yes he is asking for the opinion to invest or gamble on a gambling site.

He said that- what do you think is better? is it to invest or to gamble in sites? tell me your point of view and why.

So he specified in the start about it.

...You do know investing is gambling right?

yes.. but do i need to specify it for you to understand what i really mean? i think its already common sense.  :-\

I don't think like that. Bitcoin is an investment tool and also you can use it as a kinf of money like dollar.

Most people use Bitcoin for gambling try to win significant portion.
There is a number of owners of big amount of Bitcoins and they preffer to invest.

Well just like others I do both things with Bitcoin.I play on gambling site with Bitcoin because it is faster,cost effective , more privacy provider way to do gamble.I also invest when I see price down.

Since I came to know about the Bitcoin and find out that it is easy and efficient to gamble with Bitcoin I gamble just with it.I mean to say I don't use fiat money anymore on gambling sites.

i think you can invest bitcoin on gambling and you can earn more bitcoin from gamnling.

i think the answer to your question is kind of obvious!
you should always invest your money (bitcoin) and it is the better way. and on the side of it only if you like gambling, you can gamble some amount. but this amount should be as much as you can afford to lose.

Why not both?

Investment is a gamble just with a higher probability of winning, so the payouts smaller

you should not invest if you think like that. gambling is something that you dont have any way of knowing the outcome so it is 100% chance while a wise investment is based on experience and study , and although it has a chance of losing money but it is not based on luck.

i'm not lucky in gambling so i'll go for invest, at least with invest there's a small window of chance that you will lose money.
but choose a good place to invest your money

if you gamble and take all of your winnings every time you win every time

It ll depends on how mny cois you  are risking ? i would say no if you are going to gamble 100 % of your coins but you can always try it with 20 % of your total coins  and invest the profits

Invest on things that has a clear assurance that you will get your investment back and you'll profit from it after, though I doubt there are still investment sites out there that would give you just like this one. Gambling is great if you aren't an impulse gambler who gambles to recoup all his losses. If you win, good. If you lose, stop first, think about it and return to gambling not to recoup all your losses because that would only result to an even more loss.

im pretty sure that investing is the right choice right now, as prices are fairly low and bound to go up. gambling is pure luck and if you have nothing better to do with your btc and don't  mind losing it, ::) gambling might not be too bad.

Nice Question,

Invest : Where are you going to Invest if you are going to invest in cloud mining , then the same old story u will earn very less, and if you trade that is also high risk.

Gambling: This is purely on your luck and only 1% skill will work for you,  in gambling if you listen to your brain and play mostly u will lose, listen to your heart most of the time you will win.

buy in my opinion if you know sports trading do that in that risk is less and profit is also less , but return calculation is high.

invest in gambling site is the best choice :D
maybe you can try it. than the confused thinking Investment or Gambling

Investing: You can lose or win. The odds are not known to you.
Gambling: You can lose or win. You know the odds are against you.

Actually this is valid point. If you can invest your money in gambling services it would be probably the best investment. But you need to be wary that gambling is oversaturated sector.
To succeed you either need a lot of money to create something unusual or exceptional, have great ideas, invent some variations of existing game that capture the heart of people or do something else.
Without all these don't bother to create another Dice site with PrimeDice script.

try splitting you're wallet in to 50-50
50 on gambling
50 on investing
on that way you wont end up losing everything

Yes ,if look at it like this ....you have a guaranteed chance of profiting 1% of the wager which ic known as house edge.
the other side is the big hitters who can luckily win 100's of coins ..that is they are winning your coins ..lmao

Invest definitely.

Gambling is not a reliable way to get money at all. (unless you're the house ofc)

Try it a bit for hope and fun but never rely on it.

To invest your money in gambling that is the worst way possible. You have to be very lucky to double it but in the end you will lose them all. Investing is the best possible way, find some small business buy it, employ people and start making money. You can buy an apartment and rent it :)))

Yes it's really better to invest (in good investisment*) , with gamble all you can win is to loose your money

Of course invest,gambling definitely will lose all your money

never gamble if you want to increase your money. Gamble only if you want to gamble just for fun.

I prefer investing rather than gambling.

I think that investing is better than gambling. With gambling you can lost all money.It is only for fun. With investing you can earn many money, but you need to have idea for it. :)

if any one can wait to earn more then invest and if can' t wait then gamble

gamble

Gamble what you are ready to loose.
Invest rest.

I suggest investing atleased there will be a chance to gain a profit were as gambling there is high ris of losing it all.

At first step after some winnings looks like i will have something back, but at the end when i've finished to loose (not so much indeed) i learned that is better only to gamble just for the taste of it, and if win something back, ok.

For the rest, if i want to really growth my money, i think that better way is to invest in something that can give you a known % back: can lend money to others,can invest in bankroll of solid gambling site, can start trading some altcoins....you have some risk but at least it's not lucky related...

as another user said:

its better to invest your bitcoins in my opinion to make more money

to earn more gambling is best

I think investing is better idea than gambling. But if you want to burn your money, gamble is your choice!

investing is better than gambling

Something you need to know is that when you are gambling, you are trading on hope, something you are not absolutely sure of. When it comes to investment, you are sure that you will be ale to get returns some time to come. Gambling is mostly a hobby which is addictive and may lead to you loosing bigger chunks of money. I prefer that you invest the little you have since it will grow and give the rewards later on.

When I gamble, which isn't often, I look at it like any other form of entertainment. I'll budget out some money for it and once I use that money I am done. If I lose it all that's ok, because I was entertained for a bit. If I win some money, then naturally I am more happy, but I am not looking to make money off of gambling.

Having said all of that. Investing can and is a gamble also. You are putting money up and hoping for a return of money but money can be lost. The main difference being, that with investing you can study and watch trends and make an educated move.  

Of course invest, with gambling there are possibilities that we are going to lose all of our money

its better to invest so you will not loose your money

definitely! But investing is boring! No much ppl have that patience to hold tidy their investment. If you can control yourself, we can spare a bit time for the fun.

I prefer to invest than waste it on gambling wherein 95% percent of people ended up losing money.

Invest. Gambling is very risky. Investment also is. But I like investment. So yeah......

invest more safe....gamble very high risk but also high profit...
for me invest better...

I think people's thinking is different, anyone thought that the investment is a slow way to get a lot of bitcoin and gambling is a quick way to earn a lot of bitcoin

Yes thats right, Gambling is a quick way to earn bitcoins,
But it is also the quickest way to lose all your bitcoins.
Investment in the other hand needs long terms.

Yes, if you want to have fun while attempting to make money, go gambling. However, if you are serious about making profit, invest.

However, investing is a boring process, and you'll have to invest a large amount of money to make a decent profit, because the bankrolls of bitcoin gambling sites nowadays are quite big.

It depends how smart you are , both investing and gambling needs some working brain in order for you to get profit ,even tho you most
likely to lose in gambling however when you use some brains you might multiply or even triple your money don't just get too greedy and be happy how big or small your profit is.

Isn't is the same :D Like investing in Greece, Portuguese or Spanish bounds?? In general it's good to have some investment portfolio and not counting on it on 100%.

absolutely its all the same. finding and investing smartly is the best thing if u really need profits. be it bonds,stocks, if not its a big gamble. returns will be definitely high but make sure you can handle the loss as well  :)

its depends on which one you like the most and easy to get some bits BTC from this two way. Investment more to profitable in a long term,i believe. Can slowly save yours bit BTC. But, if you really want to gamble, make sure u are ready to take the situation where you will be faced with lose time. Coz,its about a luck matter. If you got a great luck,then you win. If not, you gonna lose it all. Thats just my opinion, and for sure i rather gamble than invest coz i love to gamble. ;D

I'm for gambling with two hands. More fast and fun way to gain or lose some money. Investing without having extensive knowledge is pure gambling. But with slow results.

No. its not a same thing, buddy. Invest is something where u take a profit from financial schemes or share. But,gamble is more to win or lose result. if you have luck,then you win. If not, you gonna lose it all.

to invest you can benefit in the long. while gambling will only make you rich in a short time.

Depends on how lucky you are. You may get rich or get richer if luck is always by your side and let's admit it, there are guy's out there who are like born with Luck as their middle name, while there are those who are born with out any luck at all. Yesterday I met this guy who accidentally placed a 0.05BTC and won x3. That's luck!

I mean come on is this a real question !!! invest or gamble  ??? ???
you can't make money by gambling , you can have fun and win for one day , one week , maybe one year but you will never make a living by simply rolling a dice
investing is good , there is no brain involved when you are investing in a gambling site , you have the edge so go for it

Depends on you and it's a subjective question..if you want to make money fast with great profit capabilities and don't mind taking high risks then gambling is for you..if you don't want to be dependent on you luck factor and it's ok for you even if you earn less then do investing..But both are risky because investment in anything also comes with risk so choose wisely.

Investing is subset of gambling, atleast in bitcoins thats what i think.
these investment websites are scams .. its like gambling u need to know the right time to withdraw.

but to reply the topic i would say INVEST

I think this hugely depends on what kind of site you are investing your bitcoin in, and you should only invest in sites with trusted owners. Sites like Justdice and Moneypot (under the original owner before sale) have demonstrated that owners can resist temptation, run the site fairly and return bitcoin back to the investors when requested.

tell me this, do u know these people personally. which site or rather owner to trust which to not... how to decide. One can demonstrate anything over internet. its like magical trick.

i think gambling is same shit as investing. (investing in gambling sites) no one can get profit. only lucky and admin! ))))

Investing and gambling both involve risk and choice. Interestingly, both the gambler and the investor must decide how much they want to risk. For example; when you gamble, you own nothing. When you invest in a stock, you own a share of the company in which you invested. 

No, TBH. But it takes a very long time for someone to build up his reputation, and most scammers don't have the time and patience to do that. That's why it is a lot more risky to invest in a 1-month-old site than in a 1-year-old site. It is certainly not foolproof, but it is not that bad either.

if it had, I might prefer to invest because I know how easy it is to redouble bitcoin we have to invest, but now I might prefer a gamble, because the current is very difficult to get a profitable investment  :(

if i had a chance to choose one of these two i think it would be gambling my money, i would get a chance to win more money than earn a small amount with investments which can still turn to a scam one day what would mean that i would lose my money

investment for sure, even though you cant earn a lot with it at least you are safe from throwing your money away in gambling, in the end you always lose with gambling what means that you will not earn anything and even worse loose everything

you mean you still think bitcoin can turn to a scam one day?

I prefer Gambling ;D . investing is boring especially if your pertaining to some BTC doubler sites.  in gambling the rush of adrenaline keeps pouring when your winning. but a big sigh if you lose. just keep gambling in the level of entertainment beyond that its addictions,

I do both, I actually invest my winnings from gambling. It helps to increase my overall bankroll :)
Sometimes I gamble with my profits from the investments, I then invest those winnings again..

i usually try to avoid gambling in order not to loose my all money that i have in my bank account, so i would prefer investing more than putting it into gambling and wasting all my money to a casino, but i usually neither invest nor gamble my money

Investing your money is lik e110% better.
Since there is a actual and big change you will get more out of your money in profit.

Gambling is a method for entertaining yourself, not so much a method of earning a steady income.

Gambling may turn into a big win and into a big loss as the most of us if we win 10btc we will bet those dreaming to achieve a bigger reward,thats is fact.Invest has a lower risk ,but the income also may be differente as usually an investment need to be done at a safe place and with a good reward option otherwise it will be a waste.

Investing is better for me coz you have the edge over the player however the profit is slow and no thrill on waiting yoir money to grow fruits.

Safe? That what you think, it still have risk too although it said that 100% safe investment. And there is no safe in every investment because no one will give you free money like that. But with gambling you have this risk too may be higher but the payout is better than investment so people tend to do with high balance and low odds to play on gambling this will secure their balance for a little time

I would say to you that you should put to invest what you want to have som return and to gambling what you can lose without caring .

all we where not to be when talking about money, the us has a need for concentration and attention, but talking about investing, especially the necessary quality, talking about gambling and about to work on investment projects, first of all, we will certainly talk about success and luck in one sense or another, so not much difference where you will get your investment path, and here and there we need the same quality, the difference in "price"

Well, for me, I'd rather choose gamble than invest.
Because if you invest in bankroll, the profit is very slow and vice versa when you gamble your money yourself. Although the chances to lose is high when you gamble.

How can this even be a question?
Investing in normal investments are a guaranteed way to profit.

Gambling is a guaranteed way to lose?

When I have spare money i'm putting it at dice bankroll investments. My experience in last 1 1/2 years is... breakeven. Sites are winning but a lot of them goes into scams or bankrupt. Mostly scams. Investing = Gambling in BTC world :)

The only safest investments you can do is to put it in a bank a earn little to nothing annual interest. that is the guaranteed way to tiny profit.
But investing in online investment, or shady ponzi scheme. you will loose 100% except you get in early from the start you will have a chance to make money.

i personally preferring gamble than invest and i know both of them has advantages and disadvantages but for me gamble is more better than invest
and as long as you have good self-control during a gamble and considering gamble as fun and entertainment i think it's fine but for invest i had very bad experience from invest site because i lost my money several times from it and i was decide will never did to invest again

Can be combined, investment gambling?  maybe like invested money in gambling sites
anyone ever did it, What is your opinion ?

While I have invested in a few dice sites myself, it is not true for you to consider the investment as a guaranteed way of getting profit. It is normal and quite common for investors to get a loss in a short period of time. In some rare case, the site could take a big hit and then could take a month or more to recover from it. Lastly, don't forget that investors could take a serious or even total loss in case of a hack or an insider job or an exit scam.

IMO if you have a tons of money, just invest the bankroll, cause you have 1% house edge, it means that you have 1% profit of total wagering btc in the long term. AFAIK, there are some sites allow investing, most people lost money of gambling cause they don't have house edges, but casinos have, so if you have chance to invest, just invest!

person perspective is different, I think gambling is the best way to make much money in a short time (the best at this time)

Whats the guarantee? Even though assuming you made some money in gambling ,how long you will the benefits of keeping it ? Investing is still safe as you always have a track and control of your funds.

i would rather invest, on hyips to be specific, than gamble it. luck is one factor because i feel more lucky investing on hyip schemes than gambling it on a casino site. also profits on investing is predictable for me while on gambling it's not because its pure luck.

dude investing is like gambling because they have both risks. there is no guarantees on investing unlike what you've said. that's why there's a saying "invest only what you can afford to lose". i agree a bit on your opinion on gambling though.

Dude,are you serious ? Gambling is way too better than HYIPS's.Most of the HYIP's are scam.gambling sites are not.The moment you invest in a HYIP you cannot assure it can even stand for the next hour.Gambling is luck based,people have won massive money with it,gamble strategically,place safe and you can't be cheated on any conditions.However HYIP's turns out to be scam eventually giving more chances of loss.

Offcourse this is your choice, but having fun can be achieved by other means too.
I find it hard to believe people prefer losing money then earning it

But getting scammed by hyip is the owner hands not in your luck but in gambling you can atleast be sure you will not loss if you don't take silly moves and aggressive gambling.

i prefer my money to be gambled i dont like all these hyip investment programs taht turn to scams and make you lose your money, in my opinion its better to gamble it as you can win some money

I would defiantly chose gambling though its always depends the amount  because if you have huge amount of bank roll then my answer will be invest as you can always earn decent amount by investing huge amount of money or if you have small amount  of bank roll you should choose to gamble and double up your money because by investing small amount of money you can't earn decent amount and when the amount is little gamble with it double the bankroll and withdraw.quick and easy method.Also when you invest always take a look before investing as there are lots of scam site ran away with people's money.so be alert !

While the question seems to have an easy answer and it's investing, I would remind many of you that investing in Bitcoin could have the same or worse fate than gambling it all away. There are plenty of scams due to the poor regulation of Bitcoin sites and companies. With that being said, well, I won't ever advise gambling in the same level as investing if you have a legit option, just gamble for fun what you can afford and keep the rest safe. If you happen to find a good investment option let me know  ;)

As far I've read about HYIPs, they too invest their investments in Forex and they only return the cahs if they win else they too turn scam. Have read about so many HYIPs and Ponzis on the forum and when they are compared with Gambling, I feel gamblign is to an extent reliable as atleast you yourself lose the cash which is not the case with Ponzis. Also, it depends on which HYIP site you choose.

both are the same has high risk. but I prefer to invest and but I chose to safe investments, like cloud mining but not with ponzi system.

There are not only hyip sites to invest bitcoin and i think hyip sites should not call as a invest option as they will run away with your money for sure IMO.But there are some sites you can invest(There are some dice site you can invest i recommend just-dice)Honestly as i said earlier its depend on bankroll if you have huge bankroll you should invest and if you have small bankroll you should gamble try your luck and have fun.Don't gamble what you can't afford to lose.

Risk is involved in both, whether it is a website (you don't own) or a business or anything. Same goes with gambling. The only difference is that if you invest, you should have some kind of assurity that your money is in safe hands while gambling is just for fun and cannot be considered a way of earning money. here I am not talking about ponzi schemes are most of them are just scam.

like he said.. hyip are not the only ones where u can invest.. and they are ponzi .. all of them..
widen ur vision and u will get lot of things to invest in

Investing is better because they almost in all cases have Positive Expected Value.

Gambling is better if it has higher Positive Expected Value than investing, because of promotions or any other reason. Example : Ryan's pevpot.com

I do both, gamble and invest.

Been invested in bitcoin since the $7-$14 range. Been gambling since forever. Specifically with Bitcoin, been gambling with it since after Poker Black Friday starting with Seals and a few other now defunct poker sites and also playing Dragon's Tale and BitZino. Currently pretty much all my action is on Betcoin.ag playing poker.

The risk/reward for investing in Bitcoin has been more than worth it for me. And using Bitcoin to gamble/play poker has been very good for me as well, both in terms of utility and profitability.

Getting profit by gambling is always based on luck. No guarantees at all.
Even if you gain at one moment you can loose every thing in the next moment. It's always too risky with gambling.
Investments are also risky but select programs can fetch us.

i prefer to have fun with my money and investing cant give it unless its really risky and you get a thrill that you might loose your money with the investment, i choose gambling always as gambling is my hobby

How can you have a positive expected value in gambling? The only thing that comes to my mind is if you are arbitraging bets on sportsbooks or you are the sportsbook.
Investing doesn't always have a positive expected value either.

thats a very hard decision to do i must admit, but i think it would be smarter to invest your coins somewhere than gamble it all away, gambling is a bad thing as you always lose, if i had to choose where to invest i would select just-dice

Smarter to invest your coins somewhere as in invest your coins in ponzi. Is that what you mean? ???

I think it is better to invest. When you invest in the right things you have mathmatically a better chance to get a profit.

I think this would depend on how well you know the owners and casino that you're going to invest in. You can't invest into something without doing a little research for yourself.
If you're just looking for entertainment and have a chance to win something, go for gambling. I think investing into something is better to do for a long term rather than playing a quick gamble.

If u play games where there is skill (poker, sports betting, dfs) u are pretty much investing in yourself.

Invest big ammounts of BTC and gamble small when you feel the luck is on your side.

Investing is more good and profitable depends on the site but i dont recommend any website just hold your bitcoin and wait for the price increase.
Gambling is for fun noy for making  money or living and if you play much you will lose all your money so its better to stay on gambling..
But if you feel lucky you can try it but dont play it everyday you may lose your money..

Investing in itself is gambling in a way. You're bound to lose in the long run, it's just a "safer way" to gamble.

What is the difference between investing and gambling? You are risking funds/coins/fiat to earn a return. Both does have its ups and downs. Personally, I do look gambling as a form of investing, but I'm only gambling via sportsbook, so I can't comment on casino games etc.
What's the pros of gambling (ie sportsbook)?: It's fast! You can earn your money back in seconds - but you have to take quick decisions, which can affect your performance and in the end your earnings.
The pros of investing in assets, such as gold, stocks, bonds, fiat or even Bitcoins and other e-coins is found in minimizing the risk of losing your investment money. If the value of Bitcoins falls today, it could rise up tomorrow, it's a solid long time investment.

Well you are right, even though it is funny.
Investments are like gambling, never risk free, which means you always have a chance to lose your money.
With gambling the risk is just a lot higher.

investing is only for the ones who are too afraid of risks to make some big money and dont want to gamble but in my opinion its a very interesting thing to do and it even gives you a chance to become rich in small amount of time

i recommend gambling. you can big win sort time in gambling.

Both can be profitable but I think obviously investing seems like the better choice. Though, I have invested in a dice site and lost it all before. I personally am more confident that I can gamble and control what I lose or make enough that I would rather rely on that then to just invest and hope for returns. Make sure the site your investing in is a trusted one, if you are to invest.

well yeah you are right but you also can loose a lot of money in a very short period of time and you will get hooked and keep on loosing your money, its better not to do it, but its better not to invest too and hold your money to yourself

I agree that you could have better control of your funds when you are gambling rather than just invest as you know each step you take, but in both cases
it's not at all safe return. imho it would be the best to assemble a team of investors and start your own site, if you have enough combined coins and expertise.
Can you share with us in what site did you invest into, and how much?

Invest, because with gambling you will always lose in the end, so why not try to make some money off of people losing?
Safer in my opinion, but still risky.

Yeah such a silly question.
On and hand there is a guaranteed profit > investing
On the other hand there is a guaranteed loss > gambling

Hmm...

for me it is better to invest it, because if you gamble it there is a chance that you are going to lose all of your money,

but if you risk taker then go for gambling

Both are fairly risky. I personally would invest, as I feel it is safer. (though a whale could come and make you lose your investment)
It's not guaranteed. You can still make a loss with investing in a gambling site. Maybe a whale could get lucky,

I go with investing, because that's more safe.
Gambling i have had bad experience losing money etc. So safety first for me.

Of course invest who can rich with only gamble i dont belive it but investmen is realy and reliable if you can use your mind true.

Now a lot of investment Ponzi and scam bro, in fact both have big risks all depends on you,
be careful when investing, i prefer to gambling

You can big win, but you can lose too.
I recomended to invest your money. Dont use to gambling because you will lose you all money.

I agree but if you play smart  and have a big bankroll i think you can earn much from gambling. for me i prefer gambling than invest.

Invest is all about the long term. If you are in it for the fun and quick cash, you gotta GAMBLE!!

playing smart and having a big bankroll only works on poker games IMO, coz only luck can help a gambler to win vs provably fair games like dice and casinos

It depends really. Having a big bankroll in a game where the House has an edge above 50% won't really matter (Dice) but if you are able to shift the odds to your favor such as having favorable counts in Blackjack, you can beat the house with a large enough bankroll.

You use the bankroll to cushion the big hits and then smash the House when the odds are in your favor during a heavy plus count.

Both has risk but I think it is much better to invest in your money in a very trusted inestment or invest it in a big company so you can hve assurance that you will get the profit and the money that you are expecting to have than gambling because face it, gambling is the easiest wy to double or triple your money but it is also the fastest way to loose them all.

If you are looking for a way to get some profit, gambling gives you a negative EV while investing gives you a positive EV so it is clear which one is the better choice. But if you are just looking for some fun, obviously gambling is answer.

gamble with your lovely web dice  8) but both are same if we have a bad lucky our coins will go to another people.

And that right there should be the end of this thread. People have to realize that gambling and investing aren't gaurenteed ways of making money, and need to put their funds toward risky situations like these accordingly.

It's always nice to pipe dream and feel lucky on dice, which I do so sparingly, but if I had a choice, and for the sake of this thread, I will always put more of my funds in investing... By investing into precious metals and other assets.

But still there is a chance that investment will drop someday and you really need a good bankroll to get more profit but if you gamble may be the chance of losing is higher too but you will get much better payout compare to investment and like you said it is a quick cash so I will choose gamble too but dont be addicted or you will get into trouble

Simple concept: if you gamble, you're going against the house, and there will be a house edge against you, meaning negative EV for you.
If you invest into a house bankroll you are on the house's side, so you have positive EV.
You might lose at first if you invest, but in the end, since you are +EV, your investment will grow.

I think he means the site he invests in can possibly turn into a scam and go offline or run with the bitcoins, which is possible, but is usually unlikely as a gambling site that is making profit has more to gain in the long term by staying than by running with the bitcoins.

No one can guarantee this. Although if you have huge bankroll and using lowest odds you will lose it if you have any luck on it. Gambling is good to earn money if you dont addict to it because the payment is much more greater than investment and it is fast money as I can say
