Gambling is a stress remover in my mind. It refreshes me and enable me to function in my work the following week at 100%.  I do not care the loses since the money I used is the one I can afford to lose.  And I will spend it anyway if I have to go to some entertainment or go out with friends to unwind.

Many people said the gambling is just a game and another people said it is Investment. How do you think? 

My view on my mind in gambling wether in fiat or bitcoin gambling i treat it as a past time activity only and just to relax  my mind after doing some works online here.I treat it like that because i never ever put big money and risk it on gambling and im just playing with the a small amount which i afford to lose and dont gamble big amount

What I think that Gambling means is that the results for winning and losing is 50% or really close to it so that also means there isn't a straight answer to the winning result.

Well that is a wrong guess, if there are 50 percent results for winning and losing, then there must be a probability that the count of all gamblers that is winning is 50 percent and the gamblers that is losing is also 50 percent which is really not right. There are only 10 - 20 percent that won a gambling activity, some of them use a strategy and some of them merely luck and cheats. Gambling is a risk that people take to gain something, not just money, there are also faith, trust, love, fame and pride.

that's correct, losing percentage in gambling is often higher than winning average it could be the 10% is for winning average, then for cheating is 5% and 85% is losing experienced on the gamblers that's why gambling site got there profit most of the time.

That's true. Several research has described that the amount lost through gambling is high than what people earn through it. As a part one article says that gambling provides more than 90% loss and it has been found based ona survey. But the easy earning possibilities​ make everyone a active participant in gambling.

as long as you do not spend money you should have spent for your everyday needs you can certainly relieve stress with all things fun and surprising in gambling. Because if you were to spend the money should you spend for your everyday needs instead will add to the stress if you lose. But during the rest of the money only, it was fine.

This is a confusing reply ,honestly i don't get the whole point ,btw.
Spending in gambling is everyones choice and you have the right to use your money and when you play losing is given .Perhaps of losing you will not be disappointed of playing because you can afford to lose that amount in return of fun either you loss or win.
If you treat gambling to relieve your stress and to have fun only theres nothing bad at all if it is not too much playing.

Lot of people play gambling for this same reason, and Gambling will give good relief to our mind when we are in work stress or any other reason. But one thing is we don't make again stress to play with our own money. Playing with extra money will relieve your stress, But if you lose your hard work money, it will give more stress to your mind. So before playing gambling must know this point.

It's important that the purpose to relieve our stress will be realize because if not it will only give you additional stress because you are already losing a big amount that you cannot afford to lose. Everyone should be very careful with gambling because it's a risky game although the definition is only for fun, however when you get addicted, you won't be having fun anymore.

i think it depend on people because some people play gambling for fun only like other video games etc,and some people play it for investment but i think we should play it only for entertainment just like other games because in gambling there is a lot of risks to money, sometime people lose everything and sometime they win.

I could guess, everyone know that gambling is a way to give us entertainment. But instead of it, most of the people play gambling, for making money, and they think it is a source of gain money in a short cut. So in this way, you are right, everyone have their own thinking about gambling.

Those people that thinks about gambling as an entertainment are the ones hiding their main goal why they are gambling. I know there are some that have that reason why they gamble. But the definition of gambling that comes to the mind of majority is all about, money, greediness, profit and everything that is about finances.

Well you know what, incorporate gambling with your finances and its like putting a noose over your neck. I don't think all gamblers feelnthe same about what you said. There still are thoae who consider gambling as just a fun way to pass time with a chance of easy money. No pressure about earning. They win if they win, they lose without having any regrets because they know gambling is about playing with your chances without any guarantee of winning

I don't think that will be the case for all, I still believe there are people who gambles purely for fun and I even think that is a smart move since they understand that they will lose but they will not allow to lose more than they cannot afford to lose anymore. I know there are people also who gambles for profit and mostly they belong to the poor class thinking they can make fortune in gambling.

Only rich people say gambling is for entertainment because they don't care about their money, they only care about the feeling of making a bet/entertainment.. For me, gambling is a game that needs fortune and a game that can make you rich easily and poor easily. Once you get into gambling, it will hard to escape.

actually some people didn't care about their money coz they're only used small amount on gambling, let's say there's a person who gambled 5BTC++ and won 1BTC after that, then he loss 50% of his money on gambling site i doubt if he didn't care to his money, he will regret that he did gambled most likely. that's gambling, A game that brings you many regret but you doesn't care and felt it like nothing happen afterwards playing again.

Is depends on people mind because everyone has his own thoughts about gambling, some people will treat gambling as fun.
Some people will treat it as serious money making, but many people don't know they look for higher margins of income with low investments.
At the same time, they need think that there is huge risk involved in it.

You are definitely right on what you have said people do really have different minds which means they do really differ on their views or definition on what is gambling and for me its a simple description which is "anything thats involves money" is definitely a gambling not only on games but also on real life situations on which we would really need to gamble to earn something that we want.

That's a completely inaccurate description

That means buying a loaf of bread is gambling 

Anything that involves placing money on an outcome that can produce earnings to you could be a definition of gambling
But this way trading etc. would be gambling too 
I'm not really sure then 

Well, wiki says

Gambling is the wagering of money or something of value (referred to as "the stakes") on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning money or material goods.

So, that settles it

[White Christmas]

In my personal point of view my own definition of gambling is "rolling, or to roll something" why is that ? Because once you listen to the word gamble or gambling it's kinda like your trying to roll something which now in a presence of a real gambling you will notice that the word to roll the money means take a chance to make it bigger.

[yellow1]

Gambling is a kind of investment and you will invest a money and spend money and many risky thing and time. It is something for fun, they don't fear if they lose their money. Many people gamble they want their money back with double and to win big.

[Jalum]

Gambling is a game of a bunch of risk and unpredictable outcomes that causes a person to win the gambling match or lose a gambling match.
