Can gambling be considered a "high risk investment"?

[TheFinalGroup]

I disagree. Because gambling can be an investment, if you use the right tipsters do not need to know about all sports and for a small amount of money you can expand your initial bank. For small amounts of investment I think it is better gambling  than traditional investments

[EdenHazard]

Gambling is an investment, there are some people that profit from gambling especially if it is something like sports betting as skill can be applied to help increase the chance of placing a winning bet. Something like a dice however is purely based on luck, even strategies like martingale require luck.

gambling are not an investment , it is a super high risk investment if you insist to connect between gamble and this "high risk investment" , when you invest in something there always a risk but the risk there are not as big as in gambling.

the reason why gambling can considered as high risk investment are the risk and the return are equals or even greater . the usual investment are around 1 to 10% return only.

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

I also think the same as you stated in the first sentence, that gambling is not a place for investment, but a place for entertainment. With that we can say that someone will get a bigger amount within a bet but it is not sure that all the time every investment will give us the profit, we should have to spend at there not to invest.

Without investment, we can not make money in any business. But investing in gambling is bit risk, we have to choose a good place to spend then only we can able to make a profit . And gambling is the not right place to invest your money, and it is just a game to enjoy your free time. People miss understanding this, and they are losing money in gambling that's it.

maybe if you have money and you want to build casino or something like that, i think that is called "high risk investment". take a look on las vegas, rich people make their own casino and they make money from there. so they should get much profit from gambling investment. but if we don't own casino, then i suggest we don't invest on gambling. maybe we can lend our money to people which play gambling so we can get profit from that

Thats really true, every people understand how the gambling had affected users at instances. Only very few users have succeeded with big wins. As a gambler he needs a good number of bitcoin to place bet as well a mind to accept losses. In my opinion it also can be considered a high risk investment as it has got the possibility to give big win depending upon our prediction.

[Japinat]

Definitely, it is a high risk investment because we are talking about serious money here, we have no limitation of the possibility of winning and losing therefore people will tend to gamble for more money which makes him expose to bigger risk.

[Lanzador]

It definitely can be considered an investment - an investment only refers to something that may be profitable in the future, which for some people, gambling is.

gambling is not an investment at all because it is based on a pure luck, i think it is better not to do it if you dont like risking your money

That's supposedly a given that there would only be a few people who will become successful in gambling.
Why? Because on the faces of gambling, there will always be more people losing than winning, because the amounts are only being transferred. Bitcoin isn't a high risk investment because you're not really investing in it, unless you bought a share of the casino, then that's investment. But if you're gambling as in just playing the game, it's not really investment.

Gambling is definitely a high-risk investment because the only risk in gambling is, you might lose what you have never expected if you get addicted to gambling. Addiction here means you are trying to recover on your losses and lose even more.

[Sponsoredby15]

Probably yes, it is so high risk investment because it is depend on your luck. So wear green if you are gambling to win the game. He he. Make plan also is an advantage to avoid error when betting. And also you need target profit to avoid temptation in your playing otherwise you will lose if you lose control.

No for me because investing in gambling site will guarantee you a big profit, you are betting with the house so you are guaranteed to win all the time, that is how it works so we should focus on this kind of investment.

[(o)(o)ilikeboobs(o)(o)]

Yes it is, especially if you are doing martingale in dice game

I know these arguments are often made when criticizing the stock market, but I think this is an oversimplification. The central question is if the success on investing money in investment funds or, alternatively in gambling depends on chance alone. In general, most people believe that the success of investing in the stock market is not random, but depends on one's ability to correctly interpret information about the companies to make accurate predictions. I tend to agree with this view.

At the same time, not all gambling is alike. There are bets, whose outcome depends on chance alone (all dice games for example). But there are also bets, where real world information can be a predictor of the outcome (for example in sports betting).

So I think, whether you are investing in the stock market or gambling, you should always stay well informed about the underlying "game mechanics".

ya.ya.yo!

Dice or baccarrat is high risk investment. But Sports betting can be profitable, especially tennis, I like tennis betting and have profited a lot from tennis.

If you are a player and your playing a game that doesn't require skill or a game that requires a skill that you don't have you will end up being a loser on the long run, on the other hand gambling can give you money if you're a player with skill or if you bankroll the house.

[skylighters]

it is definitely not an investment, in my opinion gambling cannot be an investment because you will always lose with it

[pereira4]

It would be considered an high risk investment depending on the philosophy you have about investing and gambling. If you consider high risk investing a gamble, then gambling is as a result, a high risk investment.

If you think investing is never a gamble, then gambling cannot be considered an investment of any form.
