Gambling means risking our money to make an instant profit,

Only a fool believe this fairytale. There is no such thing as instant profit unless you bet 100 btc and go for 1.02 chance to get 2 btc. Well it is $2000 approximately and if you do that daily then you wont really have to work anymore however that doesnt happen. Gambling is actually just an extra way of making money, thats it

Even at that higher chance I would not risk my money to win just 2% of it, you know bad luck strikes in an unexpected time and that would be a big regret if you did not win your roll. It's called gambling because we are betting on chances already and no matter how good we are no gambler would win all the time, if you have a job and that is being a professional gambler then I would say you have a chance but it's not possible in dice but only in skilled based games.

I agree with that. I experienced that numerous times that I learned, it's better to play slowly and surely rather than just one shot. At least you're prolonging your bankroll compared to a YOLO bet. But sometimes it's exciting to do because of the thought of winning quickly.

Gambling always have same risk in all way even we play slow or like to do YOLO bet. I prefer to play with risky style but not doing this all the time and putting all my money there. I think it's better choice to play just for fun not to get rich.

Of course, everything has risks, even when just deciding. The risk in gambling is definitely easier to see like when betting on a roulette or something. You would know what to do once you're there. Please be disciplined also in what you are going to do because it's what causes addiction sometimes.

You're right. Its different depending on people's perspective. Some see gambling as a way of life and they can't live without it. Some only as something to pass time. Others for small businesses. How you prrceive gambling would determine how you deal with it and whether you're going to be addicted to it or not

How you prrceive gambling would determine how you deal with it and whether you're going to be addicted to it or not
But for me I perceive gambling as a way of having fun, actually when I was new I see it more like a money making activity but after a lot of failure I realize this is not made to give us profit but instead to make gambling sites profitable. Now, I have really enjoyed gambling because even if I lose I never think hard for it to let go, I just think it is what it is, we need to spend to have fun in gambling.

Many people said the gambling is just a game and another people said it is Investment. How do you think?  Roll Eyes
Gambling was a game of entertainment and it give happiness to the players. But sometimes, gambling is a bad habit to anyone. Because once it becomes their habit it will turn into addiction until the person will become addict unto it.

Gambling is a game that should be treated as any other type of games. It just for entertainment only. But, over time, people started to abuse this game as a way to earn a better livelihood. They wish to earn money in an easy way without having to sweat.

This is a real secret which no one wants to know about. Keeping the above example in view, See if we win we only get 2% more of the amount invested  but on the loss,  we tends to loss almost all the invested money.   Embarrassed

It is not the same as the game that you thought you play on your smartphone everyday. It involves money and it is a gamble nevertheless. Unless you keep playing with a play token then you can consider it as a game however it is pointless to play it as a game when you can get money from it although it might not be that much

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.

this is a shallow definition of gambling.  Gambling have several form.  It can be packaged as entertainment to those who want to have fun playing and they see gambling as fit for it.  As business, people with fund set up a casino to have part of that  bilion dollar industry of gambling.  And investment,  to those who wants to side with the house to take advantage of the house edge.

My definition is: Every risk of anything in a game of chance. Poker, dice games, sport betting, lottery, bingo, etc. You could gamble money, services, even your life (in Russian Roulette). It's not necessary the reward to be equal to the risk. Sometimes the reward is adrenaline.

Well for me gambling is a game for money,
For me it is for fun and entertainment yet others see's it as an investment so I think everyone has a different opinion about it.

the essence of gambling is a game that can bring in money. play, win, get the money. But with the variety of the human mind and different from each other. Gambling was somewhat different definition of each person. Some think gambling is just for entertainment, there are also those who simply play it as a business, as a job. But the core of gambling is playing a game to get the money.

I am like you man. It's the same thinking. The main definition of gambling is definitely a game for money. Always, For me i don't consider gambling like a source of getting money (I mean for profit). because it's too risky and i don't have a lot of luck to always win. So I only do that for fun. Even if i lose or i win, I don't will be angry or being sad.

Gambling is a game that should be treated as any other type of games. It just for entertainment only. But, over time, people started to abuse this game as a way to earn a better livelihood. They wish to earn money in an easy way without having to sweat.

I believe every game involves money, gambling game or not. Who creates games create it to have fun, but to have profit also. The developers sell the game to other and make money. And these days, there are many MMORPG which you can play paying to have advantages in game and later maybe you as a game user can have profit by selling your account or items in game for real cash.

You are right , but i guess not all games are gambling even it is for gambling gane or not and i don't think that every game involves money .Not all games starts with money or created by money and its not gambling at all as you don't put a bet in.
Creating an account games and selling it is not gambling at all it is on business or trading covered.
