what is definition gambling in your mind?

[abayan]

Gambling is designed for the casino to win, otherwise which businessman will own a business casino where his risk to lose will be higher than to win? The part of gambling is to understand and accept that word winning is only in your mind. In reality you will struggle to win over the house, think about it.

We also have to think about the probabilities in every business that involves many people, in this case the house has some percentage consideration for profit sharing to 30% of its users within 24 hours, if you tell me to think, I will think that I'm included in side of 30% winner. This is much better than ponzi who will eat you 100%

Although I wouldn't encourage anyone to gamble for profit, I agree that if compared with investing in a ponzi gambling is a better choice. Yes, you will lose most likely with gambling, but knowing that beforehand makes you to not deposit more than you can afford to lose. Investing in ponzi people expect good profits and thinking that the risk is minimal they invest a lot and thus lose a lot.

The thing with a ponzi is that you can actually make money if you are in the first group of investors.

With gambling it doesn't matter if you join early or late, in the long run you will lose out anyway.

But with ponzi you will definitely lose in the long run and actually you never know whether it is an early stage or not. Hoping to have a profit from being in a ponzi is as stupid as expecting real profits from gambling. Only people tend to invest much more in a ponzi.

In gambling if you don't learn and know how to control your emotions especially greediness you will fall out of nothing but to lose all you have .The ponzi is a kind of investment which you have a high risk same as gambling but the difference is you will not play for risk unlike gambling you may control it sometimes.

For me gambling is like an investment but its is addicted when you are not control of yourself. But its always use as fun and past time when you are bored. In gambling if you lucky enough if your won you become rich and double your profit and easy to earn. Being a gambling is with knowledge and skill in gamble you want too. Its more risky but its gives enjoyable.

I dont think that gambling is something which can be related to investments, as investment is something which always yields profit or atleast have surety of profit, but gambling is like a Game where you can Win or Loss and there is no grantee of only winning.
For me Gambling is a Game and game is won by skill and luck. You need to play with active mind to be able to get good income from gambling.

It depends on who is gambling, sports bettors who are good in sports betting are treating their
gambling activity as investment because they are making money from it.

You mean sports betting is same like investment. I don't think so because sports betting is a part of gambling, and i am not consider that gambling like an investment. Even we earn and use money in gambling, but gambling total different from investment. But in sports betting, many people win in it, may be that reason they think it is an investment. But in reality it is not.

yes right sports betting isn't an investment its a gamble maybe they have some capability to analyze correctly but there's still a risk
even small odd loses when luck is not with your side unlike investment if its legit you can make a huge profits just barely needed
of time to research and study.

i agree with you it is on what they have been playing and what they are they thinking they are doing. but for me , gambling is a mind playing game that consisting of many problems to be solved that needed our luck and skills.

Gambling is risky activity that will lead you into winner or losser depend on luck. For some people they take investment on gambling site because they trusting on the site that they will keep growing

it is an investment for me that has a high risk in everything. we should be vigilant and be practical in all our gambled games. we can earn a lot from here and we can be rich here if we wanted and if we are determined enough.

Gambling is a game of luck with a negative average return and where personal strategy doesn't affect your return. For example a game of roulette is gambling. For most people sports betting is gambling, but for a professional sports betting is a source of income because he uses personal strategy to guarantee himself a positive average return.

[bouren]

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

Gambling is an investment !! 
Ok we do consider investment to be risky but not wagering at least in my dictionary. Investment has an attribute of speculation where person earn through risk of money value of commodity but in case of gambling, no commodity is there and risk is related to happening of an event!
So gambling is just for fun game, nothing else.

I think there is no difference because if our analysis is right in one match then you will get a profit but if you made a mistakes you will suffer losses is same if we choose the wrong investment? we will got losses too.

Hehe no no it is not investment for me gambling is 99.99% lose for me because gambing is a really unfair sport which cheat us.

Yes, as i understand, gambling is a game of mind and everyone use his own strategy to win in gambling. Than its mean everyone have own definition on his mind about gambling.
But in my mind, i think gambling is a full of risky way, and if we are lucky than no doubt we win, but if we have no luck than how can we win in gambling?

From my perspective, gambling is a game which bring joyful and the entertainment to you, and sometimes, if you are lucky enough, you may earn good amount of money with it. When I feel sad, I usually gamble with my friends and it do make me relax and feel more comfortable

Though it is a fun and entertainment but people play gambling to make profit, every single person who play gambling wants to double it's investment...so I think it is an investment.

Gambling is never be an investment unless you are putting up money on the house bankroll itself. Thinking of that you do make winnings on playing gambling but you can also lose up easily which isnt possible on comparing to some investment because if we are talking about investment which means we do profit for long term with lesser risk unlike on gambling the involved risk on it is very high which cant really be considered as an investment.

The fact that gambling really entertaining and make you happy when you won it and get some profit.
I guess it is enough to describe what actually gambling it is , and how it make you feel entertained.
Profit and make money will always be number one reason why people keep coming back to play.

I think people who keep coming back because they already experience to win since people are greedy and they want to win a lot..
But most of the people i think are keep coming back because they have experience of happiness or addiction in gambling this is just a child who addicted in computer games or addicted in drugs that they are keep coming back because they area always get and satisfied happiness. that turn into addiction..
If you are thinking some as making also profit expect that you can be lose a lot. .

I do agree that some of the definition of gambling is this.  And this is somehow the positive side of gambling.  Another definition of gambling is addicting, triggers  person's greed.  make person obsessed in chaisn loses, breaks family when uncheck due to gambling addiction and a lot more.

Gambling for me is spending money for entertainment purposes but usually with negative connotation, its bad. It is something like a game of chance,without certainty to win, just only a pure luck.

Spending is not the right word, Wasting money will hit the right slot there. Even if you said that it is for entertainment purposes, which is also great, you can't ignore the fact that you are wasting your money. You can put that money on something important and might help other people.

I will disagree with your mate, I call it spending just like watching movies or going to a concert where you need to spend to have fun, maybe for you it is a waste of time and money but for people like me who enjoys gambling although we lose we call it as an entertainment.
