Gambling is good for fun but you cannot expect to make regular profits from it as you will win only if you are lucky and luck will not always be on your side every time so I will prefer to invest my money from where I can generate regular profits and investing in good altcoins seems to be the best option for me.

gambling is really not investing unless we invest to the casino and not going to play to that casino. Gambling should only look at as an avenue to relieve stress and get entertained and having a fun time and not for profit..

It is not and it will never be. In gambling site investment, it is EV+ that is why you are going to get profit in the long term but in gambling it will always be EV- so dont even think of trying to get profit in the long term. You could get some profit though if you are lucky however luck is not really something that you could get all the time
Yeah it is sure that gambling could never be profitable in long terms. If you really want to earn huge amounts through some reliable method then the only way is to prefer investments instead of gambling so that you might not get negative results in the end.

In other words, only those people who have little or no fear of losing money must go for gambling while others should prefer investment sites.
The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

At the end of the day, it will be upon each individual's preference as to whether that person is going to be heading to - gambling or investing. But these are good advice and reminders about potential lost if you go for gambling due to the house edge advantage.

Everything has risk in this world. Even sitting the whole day in your room has its own risk. If you want to have something with no risk that means you wont have any reward at all from that risk. Choose which one that suits you the most if you think that you want to have bigger reward then simply choose one with higher risk

That's just plain stupid to do something which has the highest risk.And it necessarily doesn't mean the reward would be bigger,bigger the risk.Investing $100 in bitcoins in the early phase wasn't a big risk ,however after 3 years the rewards are much much better considering the risk.

i think the both have some risks , gambling is perfect if you think you have skills or investissement may be better if you have some knowledge in trading
Your answer sums up all the answers in the given thread.Senseless.

It's not "some risks" but the reality they surely have the risks if you choose to gamble, you are at risk. And if you chose to invest, you are still at risk. Any of them contains risk and it will be up to the gambler or investor on where he is happy. If he's happy to gamble, take your time and it's your money be sure that you know what you do.

Nowsaday Investments in alternative coins are risky and Gambling is even worst. Maybe better off just keep it and wait for 1btc price go up.
Yeah saving is a good option but if we only choose to gamble or to invest, I would choose to invest, gambling is more risky than investing. That is only my opinion. Gambling is only for a short term and there is a possibility that I can lose all I have.

Gambling is not for short term instead only for fun and entertainment. Because in the short term also there is no guaranty that you will make money from gambling games so don't ever go to gambling if you want to earn money either in short or long term. If you want to make money, then choose the correct investments based on your needs because of some investments not good for short term point of view.

Since whatever to choose is risky to take whether it is to gamble or to invest. Gambling is for short term investment because if you win on the play, you already have gain a profit and also easy to lose an amount if you are not that lucky on betting. I prefer investing than gambling since it both taking a risk, I will take the risk to invest because it as a possibility that my money can grow even it is long time to wait.

In certain time, maybe better to gamble because faster gains are earned but proportionate to risk for losing. While on investment, profits are small and takes longtime, as well as risks. But, basically risks and opportunities are same. Depends on our ability to manage money.
For me its not sane the risks and opportunutues is too differently far from each other. To gamble is to loss most of the time than earning instant money and with investment it will depend on what kind of investment you use to have.
I agree that is true that it has different risk, gambling is really more risky and there is no assurance at all that we can make intant money here. Unlike investing, we can gain profit and eventually it will grow for a long term.

This two things cannot be compared !!
In fact investing is the secret of the wealth of the majority of people an it is 100% profitable in some field like food.
Whearas the pourcentage of wealthy people from gambling is very small.

In some point they can't be compared.. but for some investors or people who wants to make a profit both needs to be compared. I agree the percentage of profiting through gambling is very small since there's no assurance for you to win in every game. Investing is also risky when it comes to make money it's  a trial and error process until you get the best result to make money from it.

Gambling is high risk with quite high returns, Investment, varies on your investment portfolio. Even investment might also have little or no assurance but that's very rare though and depends on our self on where you are putting your money. Gambling is more luck than skills, and Investment requires more skill than luck factor. But as a stable and assured wealth generator we cannot compare them, in no means.

Gambling is not a game with high risk and high return because it totally depends on your wagered amount. if you wager a small amount then dont expect high amount in return. To get big amount you need to risk huge as well however most people dont think like that. They want to risk small amount and expect high return

I consider that whether its gambling or investment the level of risk is always high. Although gambling stands for a higher risk depending on a higher percentage of uncontrollable luck.
Considering the bitcoin currency fluctuation, maybe be best to keep it as an investment by itself.

Gambling is not an investment but these are games to get entertainment. Don't compare gambling with investments. Investments are for making a profit in the future but gambling you need to spend money for current enjoyment and no way you can make money from gambling games. Many people are confused that gambling is an investment but that is not correct.

Gambling is a very risky place to put your money in. Not unless you are putting your money as an investment to add to the casino bankroll and you are earning a portion of percentage with the casino earnings.

That is true but having a skills will not gonna make that thing as a risky way of making money, instead is the easiest way to make money.
We should know where we can use our interest and if we love gambling but it does not give us good result then definitely it would not match and gambling is not for you, look for things that you love to play and that would give your good return, so maybe trading would be nice if gambling is not for you.

I dont think that having a little skill will help us to win. Im not really a fan of playing for profit because I play for fun so if we actually waste our time by learning some skill in gambling then it is not fun anymore. We will lose anyway so why stress ourselves to do that kind of thing?

Yep, gambling away money isn't an investment. but if one invests in bankroll of a gambling site that's an investment, investing in a gambling site's bankroll can be really profitable over long-term.

An investment should be viewed as an expense that has a hope of return and especially in the long run because gambling could just give you more headaches and sometimes, you would often lose and regret it. It's not going to be the best outcomes but it would be best if managed.

There's no regular profit in gambling unless you are the owner of a casino and it's your investment.

But for us who are regular gamblers, we can't expect a daily basis of income in gambling.

Better stay at your limits and go with investing.

I agree since the result of the game is random, players cannot assume that he can get a regular earnings from gambling.  Even Casino owner sometimes loses to the players (when a player hit jackpot).  So i guess we should put in mind that playing in a Casino does not warrant us an earning but can warrant us possible winnings.  If earning is what you are looking for better find a good regular job and think of gambling as an extra curricular activity.

There's no assurance that you can get regular earnings, just like what I stated above.

And yes, the owners too can lose because of those lucky gamblers and it can even touch their untouched fund or backed up fund.

Your solution to find a regular job is right but having some other investments too is good.
