Can gambling be considered a "high risk investment"?

[mirakal]

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.

yes no doubt about that that there is always involve risk in gambling but it depend on your bet if you put high bet then there is high risk but the winning amount will also be much more as compare to low bet.

I think there are so many other factors also involved to this concern, like it depends on your way of gambling you play, your experience also matter there, your skill and your luck also responsible for that. So, I think not only gambling but trading and investment can also be consider as high risk investment .

i don't think gambling and trading are an investment generally , indeed all of them have a risk. but doesn't mean it's investment. gambling just have the highest risk among all of them due the fact that it's about game of chance like 49:50 or 50:50 while in trading it could be 20:80 or even better. pretty much different i think, not comparable.

Whatever definition we have in our mind, we will agree that we all do that because of money, we want to gamble due to the fact that we want fast and easy money, but it does not happen at all. While in trading, it's more legit to be consider as an investment because you invested your money with whatever asset you want (preferably bitcoin) and in times you can sell it for profit you trade it back to fiat.

Gambling is indeed a high risk activity but it is not an investment. It's high risk because you can double you money or even x1000 it in just one second! The risk is really high and the return is too. But this cannot be an investment. Gambling is gambling. There is no way this can be investing as you are just relying in chance and nothing about investment.

Yup, gambling is the most at risk for profit. Because gambling is not an easy game, because it is in the system has been modified into hard mode. Where in any of our games are required to be able to defeat him and could do a game at its best. Indeed to do an investment then gambling is not a suitable place for it, but if we invest in a gambling House then that something a good thing. But still it is gambling harmful, so we also have to make double security

Exactly! In investment there is some kind of... Work that can be done.
You can study multiple factors to know if the market is in good shape, if the company is reliable, if the economic situation is good, all that in a global and/or local perspective! You can do market research and market studies, you can do surveys, take the temperature of customers, compare with similar products...

All that added to a financial study of risks and profits, everything being compared to determine if an investment is a good one or not. That's a lot of works but that means you have different leverages to act on.

Whereas in gambling... Your only possible action will be to click on a button. Not much more...

Yes i think for those who have thought that gambling is an investment they are wrong and so is of the view that can get fast money from gambling is also wrong, nothing is easy in a gambling luck was clear very decisive.

investment without having any particular assurance that you will able to gain something? i guess it can't be called investment as many of us just rely with our luck, investment includes analysis and knowing that they have tie frame to gain the profits so i see nothing can be consider talking about gambling.

Its not a investment, I agree its something that is with a high risk and you cannot call it a investment because you do not can get something in return like a investment does.
Its winning or losing and its all happening in a couple seconds/minutes.

You have your point but as a person we have different capacity in life and skills. If we can make money with gambling then it's easy for us to call it as investment but if we keep losing, better call it as an entertainment. Investment should be something that can give us good return, not only in short term but only in long term.

True. But one of your point is invalid. No one can really call gambling as their money making activity. No one really generates a stable income from gambling. It's a game of chance. Any gambler has the same chances as the next one. We can't change that fact. So in the end, noboy can really earn from gambling but the casinos.

[Telepo]

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 gambling is a high risk investment. it's too dangerous for your life. when you are losing much money, You can not control you mind so this fact is leading to wrong decisions and you will lose all.

Yeah, unlike in investing or trading, you have the option when to sell your assets or when to buy. You can also study how the market will react. Unlike in gambling it is already set from the start. The odds will remain the same no matter what you do. So you can't really compare both gambling and investing. So I cannot really consider gambling as a high risk investment.

although trading is also risky because you can ever lose your money there, but still trading has a little more advantage of experience and knowledge, where as gambling is totally depending on your luck so i fyou are luck then you can win and if you are not luck then you certainly lose.

Gambling would become a high risk investment if you are thinking into open a casino or gamble house, otherwise no, gambling isnt no where near to be an investement. Gambling its a high risk attemp to earn more bitcoins then you have, investment would be trading some altcoins invest and hold for better days, gambling does change your characther and damage your life very fast.

I agree with you perfectly, gambling is very risky and designed to favor the bookies. I'm addicted  to sports betting and haven't turned out enough profit as I anticipated prior to joining. We make the profit today and lose them tomorrow.

[nikilavi]

I guess you kind of make sense as there is still a high risk involved but in gambling if we lose money it's not the site's fault as gambling is luck so not always someone can win but if someone invest in these so called hyip site and lose money will it will be the person fault as he shouldn't have been greedy for a high return and used his brain

HYIP's are total scam and it is better if you are not going to invest any of those type of investment and it is much better if you are going to invest your bitcoin in gambling by investing to their bankroll casino. Even though the high risk that is op talking about is, your profit will depend on the profit of the whole site, its like a profit sharing investment.

[Vinaa77]

I am very averse to investing because many bitcoin lost in investment. I am more interested in gambling because it can monitor me alone. if I lost I would feel. but in contrast to investment

Would you care to check the reasons why they lost in a specific investment? It's our decision and it's on us, we must be very careful when it comes to investment, we do not see the future and we do not control them. Just think that you are also gambling when you are investing, but make sure you have a great winning percentage so you can expect a great return. Putting your money in gambling sites bankroll is always profitable if you put in a trustworthy.

[dunfida]

Gambling is never an investment since its just a game with money involved unless if you decide you put your money to the house itself then its considered an investment and with that its somehow safe compared on playing gambling itself because you are on the house side which we all know who always wins therefore we could say that we could able generate profits when house is profiting too.
