Can gambling be considered a "high risk investment"?

[Ziskinberg]

Playing gambling is not really an investment but only for entertainment and leisure times and we all know that investments are things that do gives us profits on long term basis and thats not possible on playing gambling itself unless if you have putted your money on the gambling house itself then it would be the time to call it as an investments.

Well, actually, sometime, we can consider gambling as a high risk investment. There are a lot of gambling masters who can get a decent amount from casino everyday and it does not surprise me at all. They know how to beat the house, how to mange their money and especially they have strategy which can make gambling become profitable

It is all our assumption but in reality not many people are winning money from gambling houses. If that is true we should have seen some of the gambling houses closed or making losses but we only see most of the time gamblers losing money. I don't consider gambling as an investment but it is pure entertainment paid games.

Hence, our way toward profit is when we chooses to side with the gambling house putting our investment rather than playing against them. It is not a secret to every gambler that house has the advantage so they win all the time, but we keep believing what is wrong because we don't accept the reality of our chances.

I do agree with it, therefore it is the right time now to save money that we can use for investment purposes, we cannot make a decent profit when we will not invest a decent amount as well. This is idea is only good for investors who can invest the amount required and those who can be satisfied with a small but consistent earning.

It is very serious, and in fact while investing in gambling sites, it will increase your bitcoins while the value is currently growing also.

Investing on gambling site is somehow a good idea and investors would surely put up money into the house specially on reputable gambling sites which do generate good profits on monthly basis.For me its also a high risk investment since all investment do have really risk on lossing money but its much better rather than on playing on the gambling site itself.

Investing and gambling is a matter of decision making so this things will always rely on you. How much to lose or to gain is depending on your bets , same with when or where will the betting be. High or low risk it doesn't matter. The risk is always there.

Gambling always come with a risk to loose , and the risk is getting higher at the current bitcoin price with a daily big increase so it is better to hold till the price of bitcoin steady at all level.

i think it do not need to stop gambling i think if you have fixed a limit for your gambling  as i have fixed a limit comparing the value with bitcoin and then play it with according to my limit.

Even you are playing within your samll limit, I guess in long run your small limits may start hurting you in financial way if you are failing to make use of your money for profit making from gambling. I strongly believe profit making from gambling is not at all possible that is the reason I am absolutely not ready to consider gambling as a high risk investment.

I think increase/decrease of price doesn't matters, folks don't stop gambling if the price rises/fells down. bitcoin price won't be steady, it'll keep on fluctuating. atm the risk is high so is the reward.

It is the other matter that the price increase or decrease the bets depends on the amount of money a person afford. If a person afford lesser amount then he bet lesser and if he can afford higher then he bet higher so he will take in consideration the price of bitcoin and will play according to his budget.

yes it is right o say that it depend on the amount you can afford, if you can afford a big amount then you should bet with high amount and defiantly if you have less amount and you cannot afford a big bet then try to go with a little low bit so that the bet should not exceed your range.

Actually I'm not gambling with respect to price levels of bitcoin. Because, a fixed amount of bitcoin is being used by me for gambling regardless of whatever prices bitcoin will be having. I just target some amount of satoshi, I will be earning and I set my bet amounts based on that. So, in this calculation there is no room for considering prices of bitcoins.

investment and gambling are two different thing i guess , can't really to be compared. just because gambling has a risk doesn't mean it's same as investment too. an investment are about purchasing something that offering profit where gambling stake something on the uncertain outcome. it's not high risk investment at all in my opinion.

Yes, the risk doesn't have something to do with the price increase or fluctuations of bitcoin. As long as we are going to invest your time and bitcoin with gambling by simply playing it. Then your are putting yourself into a total risk and there is no guarantee that you will be able to get some profit especially if you are chasing your losses.

Gambling with lower advantage is a complete risk, only gambling sites are making money because they have a bigger advantage than us, they can make money in the long run while we lose in the long run as well. It works that way, and there's nothing we can do to change our destiny in gambling.

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 think if we gamble, it's not a high-risk investments, but investments in death and if we do invest in gambling, yes indeed if gambling which we invest to grow and be able to reap huge profits, but if the gamble does not develop, is not the same as us to waste our money,

Btc itself is actually a high risk investment. It does not like any real world investments where you can estimate the price by analysis PE ratios etc. And with such high fluctuation, the risk of investing in btc is actually very high. Still btc has shown to all of us that it is always survived with all the different cases, and proved that it will be even stronger.

It is true gambling is always take risk that is 50/50 percent of winning and loosing you can't stop playing gambling you can't either fix your self to not being addicted on gambling once your start loosing you will start chasing what you've lost alreayd in gambling the higer of your temper to play the higer chance that you will gonna lose.

The percentage that you are talking about, are not 50/50 but the odds that you get actually decide the percentage of winning or losing your bet.
So, the risk is decided based on that, but still chances of losing are always higher because house always tries to win and that's why, gambling is "high risk", but not investment.

You would probably get better results if you walked into a casino, threw  your money on the floor, then turned around and walked out!  At least you'd be benefiting by saving on the transaction fees.  Probably wouldn't affect your expected ROI as badly either.

EDIT: I'm kidding...don't really try that....they're both bad ideas!

Not all we think is right, but we can get what we want in the gambling if indeed we could control the game. How to control the game..?? , with we can control ourselves and make a remarkable trick. Because with it then I'm sure what we want in the gambling will surely have huge advantages. High risk in gambling is indeed we always get, but it could all be in minimalisir from work smart and we thoroughly, and also self control

I don't that it is even a ratio of 50:50 for the percentage of your winning. Because in my opinion since, it is very high risk the chance of winning is only 20/80. As we know, there are gambling sites who have always the percentage which makes them the favor is always with them. And if you are going to chase your losses, you are the one that will be chased by them.
