Can gambling be considered a "high risk investment"?

[roadbits]

Gambing could be considered an investment only for gambling site holder. Gambler are loser  99 time over 100 

I don't think its 99% are losers but maybe more like 90-95%. There are some people with risk management that do produce a profit but most people are losers and the casinos profit off them.

I agree with you, because there are gamblers using management of money and risk when play gambling (include me). Although it is not warrant we can not lost our money, but it is just for control our money on gambling.

Well, gambling is not only Sport bet or Dice, but Lottery and scratch & win too, and there you couldn't apply any kind of money management or strategy.

I think except sports betting and poker games, We not see any other games are skilled base game. All games in gambling are risk.  But suppose if we have luck means we will make some profit. But making a profit in gambling is not easy. So putting money in gambling is high-risk investment.

I know it isn't an investment, but in the last few years some "high risk" investment funds have appeared, and in them you can either lose it all or earn a lot of money.

Isn't this basically the same as gambling? Wouldn't it be faster to just deposit the amount in a casino? At least you'd be able to spend your earnings much sooner

if you are talking about those high reward investments that you can find so many of them these days then i agree with you, it is a lot better to just make a bet on a legitimate casino because you know that the casino (like even a dice game) is no going to scam you because of their provably fair system and it has the same risks as those high investments.

it shouldn't even be a consideration because gambling definitely is a high risk investment and you're more likely to lose money here. investing on something that banks on chance and luck is not a very good way to place your money on. there are a several other ways to invest your money in that would have you grow your investment and i don't gambling is one of them

Yeah, that's very true. That gambling is a very high risk for investment, for in gambling we can't control the funds properly and it will always change depending on the game. Investment in gambling will only leave the heart disease, because every time the heart beats rapidly we must

[Arrakeen]

This is such an obvious answer, it shouldn't even need questioning. You can lose it all gambling, of course it's high risk!

Only if you're a goddamn billionaire playing a few hundred on penny slots for fun, would it be considered low risk

No Bro Gambling Can't Be Called as a High Risk Investment Because Gambling Always Depends Upon Your Luck  and On The Game You Are Gambling In Like Sports Betting Where Low Risk is Involved Because Our Wins Depends Upon the Sports Event And We Can't get Scammed By Any Website.....

well i wouldnt call it high risk investment, because usually you wont get anything in gambling, its really rare that you can earn in gambling, so i wont called gambling as investment, in investment you already know how much profit you are going to gain and how long is the investment, but in gambling there are no fixed period and no fix income, so i think both of them are different

Gambling is high risk but not an investment. You will get nothing back if you lose.
It is unwise to commit a large portion of your capital into gambling. In investment, the risk is not as high as gambling most of the time.

Indeed basically gambling is a very high risk and will make us become a bad person when we wrong step in gambling. Investment is indeed profitable, but we must also remain vigilant with respect to any investment either. because this is a world where anything can be replaced quickly and not visible

I think the OP just want make sure to his self  about high risk on gambling and want hear opinions from another users, so he ask about it and i think he doesn't billionaire who has much money.

[secone]

investments in gambling is risky, but the risk is higher if a player of gambling. because if you look on the maxim that the owner of the house always wins, should those who invest in it can benefit from gamblers always lose

[futurebit640]

Yes, gambling is considered as a High-risk investment. Instead of investing in gambling if you invest in any other business you can make some profit and also your future will be bright. If you invest in gambling it is 50 - 50 chance either you can make money, or you will lose all. If you are greedy means investing in gambling is entirely loss.

[socks435]

If you are just invest not to gamble i think its not high risk but you can be still lose if the gambling site are losing a lot in their site..
If you are looking for much more profit with low risk better to study trading,,

Yeah same here i considered it as high risk because its still a gamble because there is no guarantee and its not sure that you can make a profit in investing in any gambling there is still possibility that you may still lose as houseedge.
Trading is the best start studying it with small amount and gradually increasing if you know how trading works.

It depends on what type of gambling they want to try.

In sports betting you can never lose it all as you will accompanied your luck here rather than relying only on it. If a person really lose all in sports betting then they are unluckiest person in the world.

I think gambling is not an investment its like addiction and chance of lossing is very high and as it is addictive even you won at start but at last you will end of lossing all you have in start + whatever you have won in between.

In the sense of going "all in" it reflects gambling. Though someone must be very well informed when making a high risk investment. Gambling no one knows. You can't predict gambling but you can with investments. If an investment is bad you won't invest but in gambling you don't know.

[neochiny]

It's so 'high-risk' that it shouldn't even be called investment. It just gives investment a bad name if you're gonna call gambling, an investment. It's high-risk alright, but it isn't an investment because you're using your money to play a game, risking it to win more. An investment is when you place your money in a house, leave it there, then wait for your future possible income. Income may vary, but it is there. And unless a huge incident happens(whale wins big [in this case, it can still recover] ,site running) you can be sure of profits.

[Lexiatel]

Since investing is kind of like gambling, then yes, I would consider gambling a high-risk 'investment'. People need to remember that you can easily lose any investment you put into any company.

I would much rather 'invest' in my own business than someone else's though. Plant a hybrid fruit tree in your yard, wait 3 years for it to fruit, and wallah, you have free fruit, saving you money on jellies, pies, and even wine if you're that ambitious. I have gotten about 10lbs off one this year, and I didn't even take care of it well in the past two years (I thought it was pretty much dead and useless).

yeah investment aren't addictive as gambling , too much things that couldn't compared between gambling and investment so i wouldn't call or considering gambling as a high risk investment, gambling are just gambling .
