For me gambling is an addiction, either you win or loose it creates an big impact on your life and if you win at beginning the you will continue to gamble.

I want ask mostly people are saying in Gambling we loss everything, but they are still playing gambling.
WHY?
Then people saying that it is Game and fun so we are playing.
I want ask you, Is it Game so you are playing, otherwise what is Gambling?
1. GAME
2. INVESTMENT
3. BUSINESS  

Gambling is a definitely game, most of the people are playing it because they know it game.
it is also investment for that people who are playing in it and win a big amount.
it is also business for a Owner of the Casino, for him it is a big business.

gambling is a game where everyone wants to win and become rich, but who are running gambling are more profitable in this as they know that player what ever they win in one shot they will lose it all.

[AlBTross]

For professional poker players, gambling might be considered a business. For most of us, it is just a game.

I agree to treat gamble as a form of entertainment only because if you really think of going to a casino to hope to gamble for a win, you will end up disappointed and may even lose more cause you will big more to recover back your losses.

Gambling is just for fun so therefore it is a game to be played involving money. should be an extra money. many lives were wrecked because of that but it depends on the player on how he can handle such things.

But on this forum, people have made it a mode of earning money and with so many users active on gambling websites, it is more than just a game for them. It's sad to see that users are gambling their bitcoins rather than investing them in any project and making bitcoins popular/recognized.

Gambling is a sort of game that you can play and what can let you earn money for doing it you are betting on something that will happen most of the times.

[amine14madrid]

Gambling is the fatest way to lose ur money .

[bestluck]

gambling is Game and business, but:

for those people who are only users and players it is only a game where they should have to go to play for entertainment,

and

for those who are the owners of casinos it is business, as with their casinos they want to earn some amount for their living with some fees on their casino etc.

Go to google.com
Search "gambling." LOL

"Gambling is the wagering of money or something of value (referred to as "the stakes") on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods. Gambling thus requires three elements be present: consideration, chance and prize."

for me gambling involves all the three you have mentioned , cause I invest in gambling sites which make it as an investment and business for me
also I mostly play poker and I'm doing good with poker
so basically gambling can be a game , investment or business or all of them but it depends on the side that you choose to be in
if you are playing -EV games then clearly gambling is a game and waste of money

indeed there is another way to gambling feel like investment, you know there is a big winner in sports betting when leicester won the league? they put small money in the beginning of season as investment and forget it for a season.

it is a game sure if we play in casino , and it is a business if we own a casino. all 3 points above are correct for me.

[The_prodigy]

I think only 2 are correct business and game.. because if there's no game no business.. and game is no money involve we cannot call it as gamble or gambling your money.. if the game is money involve we can say we gamble our money in the game..
So for me only 2 business and game is correct.. we cannot say its investment because there's no choices there to invest or not..

gambling = wasting your money, time and your life.

[Bitcoinbee]

For me it's just a form of entertainment and I think it's a bad idea to think of it as an investment or a business. Unless you know what you're doing with like sports betting or online poker for example.
It's better to think of it as purely a game.

yup gambling is a time killing form of recreation, a past time event to play with since of all the people that goes to casino's are not gamblers at all. They make a few bets for luck and walk away.  Being hooked to gambling is not a past time event or a recreation it has a different definition.  It is going to try on taking more chances to bet for the luck not counting the accumulated bets in total.  And some guys don't care about the loses what they are after is to hit the luck.  Luck is not always about the big price it is about having hit it somehow, win or loose in totality it is the success of hitting luck. For investment yes one way is gambling as long as you know how to invest in this way.  It is one mans decision if he wants it that way and its none of anyone's business.  We cannot tell someone on what he will do with his money unless he is a minor and needs a big hand.

Gambling can be differentiate with two categories only it is game where you actually have fun and feel excited when you done betting and it can give you adrenaline rush wheN your losing and it can be also called business because for casino owners it can be good for them because they can earn big money with this business and they can fullfil there wants and passion for gambling and also they became more richer with this business.

[mariz]

gambling can be a hobby or addiction, it is a game that can make you win money very fast or maybe lose all your money instant, its a risk that only risk taker will do. and also a game wherein you need lots of luck

[AsaroUk]

gambling could be a game, investment and business. but gambling has a very big risk. so it is better to avoid gambling.

Yea gambling is different for many people.
For me it's just a way to kill time, so i got more things where I can kill time. But for some it is an investment method which is quiet dangerous if you ask me.

For me gambling is to sometimes have a fun time when I am with some friends. I do not gamble because I need the money you should never rely on gambling if you need money.

Whether it's game, business, investment or other else. Gambling is a way to lost your money for most people.
Only few who can take advantages from gambling while the others lose.

Not true as everyone can take advantage of gambling. I myself gamble with the money these websites offer as bonus of as giveaways and I still manage to earn a good profit from gambling sites. It's not an investment but a game that can help users if they invest wisely.
