In my mind, gambling is completely addictive because even though we lose in gambling we felt comfortable playing again. For me, gambling is one type activity which we can refresh our mind and lose all the tension while playing, though losing I won't bother much about it.
That is addictive, that's true, but OP wants to know if how we look at gambling, is it a game? or an investment? For me it is an investment. I am there to earn and not just to have fun. If its just a game, then no one will be there to play. Everyone is there to win and not just to waste time. If gambling is a game and no money is at stake, for sure, only few will be there to play.

Many people said the gambling is just a game and another people said it is Investment. How do you think? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Yes, I agreed to them that gambling is just for fun and it can never be a form of investment, because when you say investment it is one of your assets, meaning how can gambling become an assets? ?? therefore, gambling is not an asset.

To me gambling is taking risks when you can't see the outcome very well. Like a shot in the dark. Usually a gamble is a high risk activity and a lot is at stake because the gamble is done for huge profits to begin with. Many people said the gambling is just a game and another people said it is Investment. How do you think? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Yes, I agreed to them that gambling is just for fun and it can never be a form of investment, because when you say investment it is one of your assets, meaning how can gambling become an assets? ?? therefore, gambling is not an asset. No assets is something that grow. The risk for gambling is much to high to be considered an asset.

Of all the questions I have seen on this thread, this is the most unique one. Personally for me in the initial stages, it was just a game or a new passing habit. Later on during the course of time this became my passion. Now I love it and I enjoy it like how people enjoy having healthy habits, I have gambling habits. I feel one should be very careful as to what he defines it, as thoughs becomes things. One should not let himself loose out with the defination, as the newbies try to mimick the existing ones and they suffer losses.
It's only a healthy habit when you're not losing. When you start losing a lot, I mean a lot, you'd despise gambling and say bad things about it. I don't even know how one can have gambling as a "passion". Or does someone who says gambling is his passion just use that as an excuse to gamble more. I understand people that have business or art or singing as their passion simply because you do it. You perform it, you practice it. But gambling? You simply put bet and that's all. There's no art in gambling or anything. Or at least that's just because I see gambling so simply. Nothing is healthy in gambling even if you winning in it. With time you get addicted to it. Its like a drug to your mind and once you start loosing in it, you can't stop yourself from depositing more and more money to gamble. When you will realize what happened, it will be too late for that. For addicts that maybe harmful for their money and for their future but for normal people it is not harmful and it will help in their health if they will gamble on gambling places like casino and sites as games as it will bring relax to their mind when they will motivate their minds with these games.

Quite complicated with your understanding , gambling is clearly not an investment. It was game of money , something that can make additional money through a game. When investment is purchasing an item in hope to get an income. Really doesn't makes sense you consider gambling as investment.

I still think gambling is just a game where you bet you fund and the control of your life. Since there is a chance that you will lose your sanity once gambling beats you in controlling yourself making you addicted to it. It is just a game of tag of war where the price is your future.

That's the bad effects of gambling that will make you addicted on it. But they're some gambler that win more money in gambling even they addicted on it.

For me gambling is just for fun, gambling can't be an investment thats because you can lose all you have when gambling and it's hard to earn money when gambling. Investment is more like investing money for the future which you know you can earn money our double/triple your money in many years, if you invested in a legit company. Gambling is just short of game which the percentage of you winning is low. For me gambling companies make sure you lose when playing thats because they also want to earn money so they make you lose and they earn in your money. If you ever win in gambling thats in your luck. They want to attract more people to gamble and tell other people that they won and etc.. So they can attract more customers. So gambling is just a game. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) That's the definition I agree with. It's not just really serious in a while playing but it's all about fun and games because if you don't, you are just going to be emotional when you lose, and that's not a good thing because you might affect people around you. You are going to affect them directly by your emotional state that's not great.

I don't think any addicted gamblers are making money from gambling because the more you play then one got a more chances of losing money in gambling. These games are designed to give you enjoyment but not a money so never gamble to earn money but just gamble for fun and if you're lucky surely you will make some money otherwise just enjoy your free time with small amounts.

Many people said the gambling is just a game and another people said it is Investment. How do you think? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) In gambling world once you enter to this sites, they don't care about their players of what is the meaning of gambling. The important for the gambling operator is many gambler are coming to their place of course many will get to lose their money too. Meaning, gambling is a garbage of throwing a lot of money. Casino know what is the definition of gambling and they care on it, Because don't care for it, what is the sense for them for establishing gambling site, In fact, not all casino are having profit from the loses of the players on their site, because not all players are losing especially on high rollers, I saw many site that been bankrupt due to insufficient bankroll to support the site from high rollers. Gambling maybe a garbage for those people who loses on it but it is a opportunity to have a profit for those who invested on it or won on it.

For me gambling is an short cut to make more money in no time but generally it doesn't happen every time as most of the times we will be loosing but if luck favors then it can give me some best earnings in short time which is not possible with any other source of earning money.

People who rely their future on gambling are delusional. They don't know how to succeed using their strength, they just want to dream about the future and not doing anything to be there. Anyway, back to the topic, I consider gambling as a form of investment and not a game, we invest time, effort and money on it so we could achieve our goal, while in a game, the result/goal is already given.

There's no art in gambling or anything. Or at least that's just because I see gambling so simply. Exactly, in gambling we don't' need to use any art to earn money from it, but only in sports betting, we could use our skills of sports and earn from it if we are lucky. And i agree with you, gambling is not a business, it is a field of games, where we could use our money in a bet and finally we could earn or lose and nothing else. But about the OP, I have a definition of gambling " It is a fastest way to earn money and lose money".

yes that is right gambling is a game of money where we use shortcut for making more and more money. but here you put your money in risk as there are more chance that you can lose your money in gambling.

Definition for gambling in a short is risking hard earned money to earn the same in a short time. This has got the very high risk because we invest or place the respective amount that we expect to win. If this doesn't work as our prediction then loss will be big which might at times ruin entire living standards.

Anything that we really don't work hard for entails great risk and definitely gambling takes this risk to a more fun and exciting level. I think this is what makes gambling addiction easy for people to acquire. The fact that you're placing your money on something that you have no guarantee about it sometimes adding excitement toban already exciting game

Win or lose that's the exact definition of gambling in my mind because in life, there is always a gamble. Gamble or gambling doesn't necessarily need an involvement on money because once you take a risk into somthing that can be consider as gamble. You might achieve it that's winning, you might failed that's losing.

Gambling means risking our money to make an instant profit, But in gambling, this will not work for many gamblers. all gambler invest money, but they won't make a profit all most all ends with a loss. So for me, the actual definition of gambling is depositing your hard work money to casino owners account.
