[toicamp]

as a newbie here the only thing that occurs its to keep the btc just for you and do not invest into clouds or high risk even gambling the rsik to doulbe its 51% lose all soo better stick to btc rise

i will sugget if you want to take on the safer road, trading has lesser risk.  You can study several way of trading and how to be succesful of it.  You can do research on several stuff and buy what you feel will skyrocket on the next week.  You can even have a mentor or even a  guide  person on trading.  they might require some fee but that is much safer than you trading alone without any knowledge on how to do it.

What kind of investing are we talking about in here? If investing on gambling sites, then it's not smart investing at all. I'd rather put my money on the bet and be as flexible as I can be with that money rather than put it there and wait until. it's gone or it has somehow profited. IMO, there are not much good ventures around to invest your bitcoin and keeping them as-is is still the safest way of keeping it, let alone profiting from it.

OP, did you gamble it all away or what?  I would think if you only gave yourself two choices,  you'd probably end up gambling.

I would do neither.   This thread is a couple of months old,  and if you just held on you would have made a nice return.   All the investment schemes here are either poorly run or are straight up scams.  I don't go anywhere near those.

both of them are risky. i think gambling more risky than investment, but you have full control. invest not always put your money to the other hand, make a good website is invest too.

It is better to invest that amount of mones thab gamble and loose that big amount of money.Gambling is so risky and all casinos are not privably fair only poker is provably fair and skill games.

If you love gambling and do not want to gamble then there are a number of gambling sites like LetItRide which have their own coin, invest in there and we know that the price and value of LIR is going much better so there is no chance for that coin to make you lose, but you will get bigger profit as like we are getting.

Why it is not a smart way? What I know that house is always win in the end so if you investing on gambling site it is sure profitable then. At least you can sugfer for a while it is really profitable. By keeping your btc it will only stay there forever. You need at least gamble it once for a while, some profit will do because the price keep on being unstable so some profit will affect your investment

I suggest you to invest in trading as compare to Gambling trading is more safe . you can try out lending Bitcoins in btcjam or in this forum but don't invest more than you can't afford to lose....

Trading is not safe and trading still risky to invest but its low risk than gambling..you can make more profit in trading with low risk.. but depends in your skills.. you should research first and choose legit altcoin to make a profit For buying low and sell high..

Yeah, because in trading you can analyze and predict the outcome of it so you can minimize the chance of losing unlike in gambling you can't predict the outcome of it, and when you win some amounts the house edge will prevent you to win and may losing streaks will happen.

when comparing gambling with trades, sure trading is safer, although both have a high risk.
on gambling you can lose in a heartbeat, but in trade if you lose it still has a chance to become profitable. and yeah risk on trade can be minimized with the strategy and knowledge.

absolutely right, even both have risk on losing your money. Trading  have risk also in losing your money but not compared to gambling. Others said that you can minimize your lose in trading if you play smart and knowledgeable and thats very true  and thats the thing that you cant compare on playing gambling.

Gambling is very addictive and not the same as investment, which makes one impatient.
Gambling and profit are two different terms. One should not gamble hoping to tenfold his starting balance safely.
Investment is a sure way to get you profit unless you are scammed and gambling is a risk to get few extra cents or lose yours unless the site is rigged.
Both are sure to put you at risk. Life is but a gamble

Yes, it is true. In gambling, one can lose money instantly or can make a lot of money quite fast. But making money from gambling is very less compared to losing money in gambling. But when you invest money on good casinos, you will not lose all money at one shot unless if casino closes suddenly. I prefer investing is safer but remember to diversify your money on few good casinos to reduce your loses.

Yeah,

Trading is far more better when it is compared to gambling.
As what you guys had said, it is more safer than gambling in the way that you will not tend to lose your money at a 50% luck which gambling is based from.

In investment, the profit is not that fast to earn compared to gambling but you reduced the risk of losing your money.
By the way to be sure to don't lose the money in investing, choose a good and a legit casinos to invest with.

Gambling is very risky then trading and in gambling winning chance is very less so you loose you earnings most of the time. So  investment is better it then gambling because in trading risk rate is very low and you can make profit from trading.

True investment is better than gambling. If studied, we shall be able to benefit from trade. Different from gambling only on luck so for very little benefit. Perhaps I would prefer a trade because we could benefit better than gambling.

Investing always is best and can not be compared with gambling. You only need some decent amount to invest in some well reputed and solid site for example Moneypot or some similar sites. Gambling always has extra risks. I was doing in old version of moneypot but now I am playing gambling in small amounts and not in mood of investment nowhere.

You are telling that Investing is best comparing to gambling and in the last sentence you are telling that now you are playing gambling and not in mood of investment. what does it mean by your reply, you stated both option as good.

In my opinion both are having same risk, if you are going to invest in gambling site, then if any user wins jackpot then its loss to the site and that will suffer your investment also. So it is better that how much you are going to invest and which site you are going to invest. You can try with Altcoin trading which is also good, if you have knowledge.

[BitcoinPC]

You ask gambling is better or investment? As you say you have only 1 BTC. So in my opinion, you should try gambling, because you have not enough amount, so play the gambling, may be you will get a big amount. And also you can invest in casino, Bitcoin.ag is a best casino. you can play gambling or invest in it.

How come you and a few others keep saying betcoin can invest? i didnt know about this previously and when i log in, i cant find a place for me to invest. Is it possible you guide me through?

And investing is more safe than gambling. So i would recommend to invest and not gamble.

Yes. Altcoin trading can be profitable and it is still very new so there is a lot of "loose money" investing in altcoins. Especially now with everyone riding the Ethereum bandwagon, many developers are also creating their own smart contract platforms. It is also easier to make money from it compared to gambling in casino games where the house an edge. But sports betting is also good.
