Well, from the way that I see, gambling is when we depend on luck more than anything else. That is, in gambling there may be strategy, but luck will be the deciding factor in the final results of the events.
Though I too believe that luck is part of gambling, I am still thinking that gambling is risking money and a game, nothing else, easy money? no, it's not, easy losing? of course it is. In short, I haven't seen it as an entertainment since I am not entertained when I am losing, money is important, so if we lose it in just a while, then it's considered as waste. You can have fun by turning on your karaoke and buy few bottles of beer. Indeed mate, gambling is risky.. depending on what game you will play the chance of winning is lesser. Luck is not for everyone and it's not always there for you unless you have a special power to manipulate the outcome of the game in gambling.. but in reality, for people like me.. I consider gambling is for fun because I always control myself when to stop especially if I'm losing a little money. |

A lot of people have gambling problems but there is nothing wrong with having them because they are mostly for a short period and its just that you need to have to get your mind back.
There are a lot of compulsive gamblers out there that really need help. They can't just stop gambling, they will come back time after time. I think if you gambled you would experience the feeling and the thrill of winning and losing as well. The best way is to go to gamblersanonymous, talk to a professional counsellor and you can maximise your chance of quitting that way imo. These are the common problems among gamblers they chasing their loses till there's nothing left for them. And for some it's really not easy for them to stop because of the loses they had.. we can help them to stop but it's really up to them if they're willingly to stop or let go of gambling. |

i see gambling to be some form of business and investment at the same time with faster returns and has a very high risk aswel
A sort of. But it is not a good business or investment, returns are not predictable, the end result is what is fast about gambling, but not when it comes to profit if you are considering it as a investment or a business. As for me, I still consider it as a game with bet, win or lose, all you can do is to accept it and play over and over again if you really like the game. The gambling is not a business, but we can consider investment is a type of business. These two methods are too risky. In gambling making profit bit tough, but if you have knowledge in investment and you have enough money. You can invest in some reputed sites, and there is a possibility are there to make some profit. For some maybe they consider gambling as a business.. I've known few people who do that in real casinos but in digital world I don't know if there is. Gambling for me is for entertainment which really spends my time and money to play. |

If and only if you consistently win your bets.
If you are after the money, and you really need money, well, gambling isn't for you and it can't help you to find money, or could even give you extra burden. Though my thoughts about gambling are mostly negative, I still see some positive in it. If you have a problem, and you can't go out to atleast change your mood, well you could play, but gambling is just an option, you could try games too. I agree with you mate.. gambling is not a solution to your financial needs because of the risks. Gambling is for fun and entertainment which sometimes you can make a profit out of it. If you're into fun and kill some of your time you can try gambling that might help you with your life. Just control and manage your money wisely. |

It's true, bitcoin itself is investment but to make profit, you'll have to wait for long period for the price to go up.
Waiting is part of investing as well, either you just sit and wait till the price goes up or you can just go and invest your bitcoin in some trusted site however the same as waiting for the price to go up there is actually some risk involved , well anyway everything has some risk involved and there is no such thing as risk free Yeah, some people can consider investments as gambling. In their point of view, investment is like gambling because investors are trying to earn money (like gamblers), but in investing they are waiting for their assets to raise and if does or does not that is where the gambling is. Also, if it is indeed rising then the gambling there is when to push the withdraw button. So basically, some think that investing is indeed gambling because it is also not risk free. It really depends on the person's perspective on how they want to earn money. Some people are good in gambling and some are in business. Some can earn good money in gambling and they consider it as an investment. If I had that luck and talent then why not chose gambling. |

Gambling is like falling into a deep quicksand, the more you are trying to get out, the more you are sucked and might stuck there until all your strength are gone. Winnings might be use again in betting unless you have self-control.
Yes that's why a lot of people ruined their lives in gambling. Thinking they will get their loses but in the long run it's not. Controlling yourself and not become greedy will prevent you to continue to gamble. I will you spend my winnings wisely might use it for investment if I get a huge amount of money. |

Investing is always better but I don't see a problem with using a little for gambling. However, gambling always comes with a much higher risk.
Indeed mate.. for as long as you can make a profit out of it then there's no problem.. both investing in business and in gambling are risky so better manage your money well otherwise you'll lose everyhting. |

To gamble good way you need practice and to find out your own strategy and style. I would recommend to wastch some lessons from professional gamblers on YouTube I think that may help in the most beginning.
Practice is a good way to build a strategy when you gamble.. but it will not guaranteed you a consistent win. Just play smart like the other pro gamblers and make sure not to lose all your money. |

Hello Bitcoin lovers!
Where I can bet on BTC price? I don't mean "What will be BTC price by the end of 2016,2017 etc?" bets. I would like to bet on quick changes of BTC price (dollars).
Thank you!
I think the price will go Down sharply at the end of the year . About $500/btc will go at end of this year . Do you ready to bet on your prediction that bitcoin will fall to 500$ to the end of the year? I think you will loose. Bitcoin will continue to grow as to the final of the year as in the beginning of 2017. I am even ready to bet that the price for bitcoin will reach the point of 800$ by the end of the year. Its a sure lose if he bet on that price point because bitcoin wont go down on that price its too far to consider to dip unless if there is a hacking incident again and i hope it wont happen anytime soon. As mentioned on OP hes seeking for binary option trading regarding on bitcoins price and most members are already mentioning it and theres no need to repeat. Indeed, this is too far from the current bitcoin price now so that's why it's not possible to drop this low. I'm pretty sure that bitcoin may have the same price as of now or may go up when 2017 comes and I'll bet for that. |

It's never an investment. Why do a lot of people consider it as an investment. Gambling is so high risk that you should not even consider this as a way to earn money. Investments has higher chances of profiting without a fixed chance like gambling. In gambling the more you play the likely-er you will lose, statistics has proven this time and time again.
I agree with you mate.. it will never be good for investment. And some people do gamble to make a few buckets for profit.. but some also do play for fun and entertainment. The risks is always there when you gamble because your money might lose in a blink of an eye.. it's a 50/50 chance when you do gamble.. so that's why it's not good for investment. |

There are some newbies in gambling are getting lucky when they gamble but not all of them and not always. That's why some called it beginner's luck.. All gamblers have different fate when they gamble regardless if they are newbie or pro. So I don't think that this is really true.

In a long run it will always depends on how you play and what you are playing.It is so hard to maintain your bankroll even you win already because you will keep on playing and that's risking all of your money but at the same time, Yes it can be profitable too if you know how to play well and if luck hits you good.
I agree, it really depends on how you manage your money in gambling.. controlling yourself is really important and it also depends on a game you play and I think that sports betting is profitable because the chances of winning is high even if the amount of win is not too high but in the long term it's a good profit for you just as long as you know how to read stats and really familiar with the sports. |

My reason on gambling always for profit, because i gamble using my own money and when i win, i get profit and of course it's become fun too. Gambling and losing your money it's not fun.
It's really good for you mate if you always win, but when you start losing your money in gambling that's the start of becoming an addiction for you since you will surely chase your loses and continue to gamble. Just learn how to stop and control your emotions when gambling. Remember it's better just to have fun than losing all of your money. |

To stay away from gambling, think always the worst outcome of it. Think that you will just lose in the end or after you play. In that way you will get tired even before you will play so you will not gamble and find other ways to entertain yourself. I once got addicted from gambling but not anymore. I think of that always and so far it is effective for me.
good for you mate since you make your mind change about how to deal with your problem getting addicted is really a pain in your ass its hard to stay away because every time you think for a way to stay away lust inside you will keep on chasing to play more i guess we do have different approach in order to move away just an addition better to always make your wallet empty as possible to avoid you to keep playing. Think of some other activity such as sports or mingle with your family that way it would help you to stay away from gambling. Also, aside from keeping your wallet empty, buy some stuff that would be very useful for you and your family in that way you don't have available money to use for gambling.  |

You can't win in gambling without losing because gambling is all about taking risk and losing. If you want to win without losing I think investing is the best thing for you.
i don't think that investing is the best thing for the OP because investing have a high risk too and its equal with gambling but of course gambling is higher than investing. but we can not win gambling without no lose, its impossible like many members said and better the OP careful when he playing gambling in that sites. Investing is the thing as risking and gambling, just like what the businessmen believes. They are gambling their money in terms of business when they are investing into something. There's no way to win in gambling without losing, if you wanted to have a perfect record of wins without putting stain on it, just don't gamble at all. Indeed mate, even before businessmen did gamble their money in investing into something they think they can make a profit from it. They made experiments, trial and error in which they risks and lose some money. Same with gambling, risks of losing money is there and you can't win all the time. |

Gambling is a game of odds so there is no safe way. It also depends on luck.
There is no safe way to guarantee a win but there is a method (safe way) to minimize the lost. I agree that gambling is a game of chance but the decision on how he approach is still on the player. Player may have no control over the result but he has control on his bet  . If any player know how to control on his emotion than he can play with better approach towards particular game, so that I also agreed with you so hard and it's impossible to make profit just for our desire, gambling will remain risky always. but in the end, there is no safe methods to gamble, although he can control his emotion, the chance for winning the games is only depend on the luck and if the luck is not work, then he can loss all of his money and its already happen in every where. but control our emotion is really helpful when suddenly we are in hard situation when we playing gambling. I agree mate, and even if you know how to control your temper and emotions in gambling the risks of losing your money is always there because like you mentioned above there's no safe methods in gambling. |

putting money in lottery is gambling too and i am trying to search with google and i found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery its said that lottery is one of the oldest gambling games and in that site, we can see the history of lottery. its a good information that i can found and before i make search, i think i don't get what i want but it proves that i am wrong  That's a good find mate.. I agree that lottery is a type of gambling which there's a money or valuable at stake and the chances of winning is very low than any other gambling games. But once you hit the jackpot you'll be an instant millionaire so that's why many people chose to bet in lottery because of its jackpot price. |
