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.

Wasting is the right word because that's what we do in gambling. It's too hard to make a profit but it's too easy to spend our money on it. There is no effective strategy that can make us win in a row. Luck will not lead us to that. Luck will not come in a row.

If you actually think so then feel free to quit first. There is no one that will tell you to keep on gamble. In fact I do suggest people to stop as well if they are only either playing for fun or even gamble stupidly in an EV- games . People need to learn more before they actually started to think of making profit from gambling

Many people said the gambling is just a game and another people said it is Investment. How do you think?  Roll Eyes
Well, gambling isn't just a game but it can be also be source of income though it shouldn't be since the probability of winning it lesser thus you might lose and there is no assurance of stable profit. Gambling would not be investment if you used to play in bank rollyet it can be if you are in tue house edge's side.

Gambling if you think that it can be a source of income than more or less you are bound to lose in long run. Because gambling if played just for fun will be good else it would make you an addictive which will result in loss over a long run since you will always want to win the amount and end up in a loss. Then you will play to recover loss which will make you a slow addictive.

What kind of profit income you talking about gambling? You even assured your winning into it probably you're just balancing it losing and winning the more eager we play from gambling that trigger us to bet all money we have. Gambling can be investment when you really want fair income from your bankroll maybe it will give you upto 5% of earnings every month.

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.

I don't get it, sorry. How can you control anything investing in ponzi? Nothing depends on you after you invested your money except maybe one thing, you can try to take your money back as soon as possible, but with most pozies as long as you've invested you've lost a big part already.

yes you are right that if a person gamble only for entertainment purposes then it is very good purpose of gambling, i also see some people who gamble only for relaxation and they made it like a hobby or their favorite activity for refreshment, bot sometimes people make it as their jobs and make it as the source of income for them and they also play it for greed of money and lose alot of money.

Why you need to spend money for entertainment when you can get that without spending money... There are gambling sites that open and friendly users where you can talk strategies and get some good ideas then play. game is always by chance and by luck when you are unpatient people then you know you place is.

Gambling is a involve risking like money or valuable objects in order to win. And some others say it is an investment and easy to earn. Gambling is more risky of time and money. Or else it is a fast time and make fun when they stress and problem so they went to gamble. Gambling is to bet money or things and you can risk that you can chance to win.

My definition of gambling is pure entertainment and luck. But for me it is also a dead investment, because most gamblers (in general) I'm sure had more losses than profited when gambling.

There will be no surprise of calling gambling as "dead investment" because gambling is never intended for investment purposes. If you are having this kind of mindset in your beginning days itself, you may gain possible solutions to escape from gambling dangers. People who are not realizing this fact, might get struck with gambling as they are treating gambling as their investment opportunities.

Those people that are saying that it is an investment they are trying to treat it that way because they only understand when you are starting to deposit any amount on a website or a company that's already investment. And they are wrong about it because they are playing for their money and the company or gambling site doesn't have liability with their loss.

I feel like that as well because there is no knowing whether or not the result will be a good one or not. What I like about Gambling online with Bitcoins is that there is just that possibility of making a bunch of money just by pressing a few objects on the computer screen.
If I wanted to make more Bitcoin’s with Gambling then I would research a bunch first then I would consider Gambling pretty much the same as Investing.

Wasting is the right word because that's what we do in gambling. It's too hard to make a profit but it's too easy to spend our money on it. There is no effective strategy that can make us win in a row. Luck will not lead us to that. Luck will not come in a row.

I agree but I will still stick to the definition of staking our money for possible winning or greater reward.

I think luck can come in a row but there is always a streak breaker.  Same goes with losing streak.

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
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. .
Unfortunately no , people always talking about the good things at first place.
No wonder most of them ended up with the negative so bad.
As they keep chasing the winning target but forgot about the risk taken. Gambling sometimes destructive .

That is the act of addicts which bring them to the place of destruction but intelligent people do not go that much in gambling that they destroy their wealth and their future they often keep care of their bets and they do not exceed in their gambling from their limits they kept for themselves.

Winning 2-3 times in a row is possible, but what I mean is not a quick win streak. Successive victories that really can give you many advantages. And to me that's impossible. Long winning streak, because luck will not come along that long.

Winning and losing streak are normal in gambling but the question is how long can you last?

You need to have more wins than loses in order to be an overall winner which is very hard to do especially if you are doing it in a luck based games,
let us understand that this is all about our chances, if we are lucky that is the time we win and if not we must minimize our loses.

For me gambling is about betting money on a game that can be a source of entertainment and greediness of a gamblers . Entertainment to other because some people want  enjoying new challenges and try their luck until they become greedy  and hunger for money especially when they win a big money..They become blind on losing because they only want and focused is on winning. If they lose they want to bet more and risk more money expecting that they will win the next round until they lose completely.

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.
no do not think that it is just like watching movie. because you can just watch a move and cannot watch two or three at a time, by watching movies you can spend a limited amount of money, but in gambling we mostly lost money because there is no such limit from the game side by you have to decide by yourself that either you are going to stop the game or want continue it for some time.
