Can gambling be considered a "high risk investment"?

[Zadicar]

Gambling games  isnt  a  investment  but  only a entertainment  place to spend your leisure times.   It would be called an  investment  when  you are  putting up  money on the  gambling  house itself but  if you are  just a  player   only then  its  not investment, you are  just paying  money  to  get the entertainment you seek.

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 don't think gambling can be considered as high risk investment.It can be a game to check your luck and in this game you can be winner or loser.An investment you have chance to losing but not so fast like within minutes and in investment you have at least something left.

I am not agree with you, i think you are first person who said that gambling is not a high risk investment. May be it is not investment but gambling is too much risky game, no any game is here where you take risk in this level.
But i agree with you on this point that gambling is luck game, when you play it and win a lot of money than its mean you are lucky person, but believe me i never see any person who is lucky in gambling.

The people that are thinking that gambling can be turned into an "investment" should wake up. Gambling was made to 'bet' for games so that it would be more fun. It's not made to be a money making investment. Gambling can be considered a high risk investment, yes, because you need capital and you risk those money whilst hoping that you're going to have profit in the future.

Maybe what they mean is that they will invest in the pot of a certain gambling site, I think that action is a form of investment as you take part of the ownership of a certain gambling sites and with that you can make decent profit because the house always win.

You are right, But now this is also a risk because I am following one thread there he invested 5 BTC already 2 months over but he made only 0.8 BTC profit. So my question is to making this profit we have to put 5 BTC in a risk this is right or not. And he split his money into 5 sites only 2 sites are making profit rest of 3 sites are in loss. If the site in loses how can we get profit right?

You can see it like that because with gambling you are putting money on a game where you do not know the outcome of and the fact that you have a bigger chance of losing is a high risk that you take.
The only thing is that you are not really investing in it but the casino is just taking your money.

i am sorry but i guess op here talking about a high yield investment and he think that this kind investment are same like gambling and indeed a high yield investment are part of ponzi scheme which considered as a scam service they only pay the first investor and run in the end so basically in this case your investment are more than just gambling , you juust giving away money to a strange people through this ponzi scheme , never trust on something like this.

In addition to what others have said, for anything to be considered to be an high risk investment then I guess that some elements of returns is possible although the risk is high, but you still get some forms of returns but that cannot be said of gambling as the returns on the money youre intending to put is not for whatever reason sure whether it will come back or not. You are assuming to have lost your money when gambling and thats not a factor of something to be an investment whether low or high...

Anything on this internet are involved of money or bitcoin are high risk if you are sending payments or just depositing payments or either investments i guess you are talking about the ROI if your investment will return in your bitcoin wallet yes it will return the half you are needs to invite some downline to make more money. Some people are assuming that they can really make money but they really loosing money. It's not about low or high its all about winnings.

Actually you use a word of Investment, so that's why many people are argue with you, that's why you using the word Investment for Gambling. But i have no problem everything where you invest money you can call that it is investment. But i am agree with it gambling is a high risk business now a days, and it is because of bitcoin has a great part. 

[Hoor]

yes of course trading can be consider as high risk investment, i think it can really, although all investments are risky but gambling is a little more that any other investment.

Yeah, gambling is definitely high risky game, but is it investment or not? I don't know. But a huge people always play gambling for make profit, even i think you and me also play gambling for making money, and in this time, we never think that gambling give us fun or enjoyment.

Rather than a investment, gambling is just a risk factor which has the potential to give a good earning with little fun as well go bankrupt in a short term. So we the users need to decide whether to get involved or not, if one's plan is to get a stable earning that can be got from an investment.

Talking about investment, it is something that would give us earning and consistent profit as much as possible and I believe gambling alone is not a good way to make profit, as the process is very risky that you need to put your money and just rely on your luck to win.

[geniusboy91]

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

Yes, gambling is in no way an investment. It is all about spending way of our wealth. Some people are able to make profits from gambling but personally I do not find it is the right way to make profit unless sometimes I am finding myself so lucky.

Gambling may bring profits and may turn as a very good investment only if we are extremely lucky on that particular day. Yes, gambling will not be an investment all the days consistently.

exactly. I'm not really sure why other people see gambling as an investment because the risk is just too high to even consider placing a huge amount in it. it's a different story if you're putting up casinos and gambling sites but that's different from actually doing gambling

[arseaboy]

Gambling is very risky and it's not good for investment. Gambling is just for fun for people who want to try their luck getting a win for their bet.. and most of the time you will lose a lot than getting back what they'd lose on their bet.

I have a different opinion. People are investing in Ponzi shemes and HYIPs, and they call that "invetsment". For me it is much more risky then bet on red or black in rulette where you have a bit less the 50% chance to win. If Ponzi can be called "investment", why we can not call gambling as "high risk investment"?

Yes and I can also call gambling as a investment while I can prove the opposite, see when you deposit somewhere and hope of making profit its investment, right ?
Now suppose you are taking risk when gambling and obviously you are expected to loose then hows it a investment ? since investment are expected to gain and not loose.

Who calls ponzi a investment ? Well that guy is certainly an idiot because depositing into PONZI is even more dangerous than gambling, not just you have to hope that the site makes some profit ( whatever methods or so called tricks they use ) but you also have to hope that yu invested at the right time and the admin wont scam yet.
