When is Gambling Like Investing

[eternalgloom]

Gambling can be like investing if you know what you're doing when gambling on sporting events or playing online poker.
Also arbitrage in sportsbetting is practically the same as investing, so I think in those cases investing and gambling can be quite similar.

Aside from the fact that you are risking money, there is nothing more that gambling and investing share in common. Everything in gambling is relying on chance or luck. Everything in investing relies on careful analysis of data.

That is true only if you are carefully analysis the data, if you are not then investing and gambling become very similar since you will be relying completely in your luck in order to profit form it.

It is not true. Because gambling is playing games and you can have a fun not risking your money. You need to pay for these games to play. But in investing you can make a good profit in the longer run if you make some decent decision and not all investments are scams.

Actually, gambling is not like an investment, Gambling is total different way, it is game as everyone know that and it is just like other games, but the differences are in gambling we use money and in other games like hockey, matches and volleyball, and etc we use our body but in gambling we use money, So i think that's why you are talking about investment for gambling. But no, i am not agree that both are same ways.

All gambling is a form of investing and all investing is a form of gambling. You are just taking a bet into something going your way in both scenarios. The difference is that in gambling you don't have much control and with investing stocks and so on you have some sort of expectancy in what can happen even tho both require big ass luck.

Yes investing and gambling will never meet. These two are completely different and if we are trying investment within gambling then definitely it will disappoint us.

A better practice must be doing a special thing for your special purpose. Gambling is proven, it is ONLY made for having entertainments. So we must avoid any attempt to use gambling as an investment.

I think what you are saying is just an overview of this two but if you look deeper, this two is different entity, differentiated by risk level and the management on how to minimize or nullify risk.  If you search the web about the difference between these two, it is clearly stated that gambling relies greatly on chance and luck that there is no way you can mitigate the risk involved in there, while investment eventhough there is also risk involved, with proper research, planning and strategy can minimize or nullify the risk involved in it and turn the investment to a successful venture.

Gambling could be like investment if you spend a lot of time learn and studying about it and hypothetically discover a method to win in the long run. To make it work, you couldn't say about the method for anyone and try to play on many casinos, as long as you can. At some point, when you would start making a lot of profit, the casinos would find a way to stop you and that would be the end.

That is a hypothetically situation, search for this kind of thing is link search for the Holy Grail or the Lost Link.

I'm not a fan of gambling by itself, but instead as a way of studying and learning about other things.  For instance, I'm sure that if elderly people kept playing card games, it would help keep their minds alert.  Studying poker involves studying human nature and probabilities.   There are other aspects like studying risk in gambling, which is like studying risk in investing. 

Does anyone have any examples of how gambling is like investing?

I don't understand. At first I thought you were asking if gambling were like doing a financial investment or something like that. Which I believe it is, but at very high risk, and in most cases, not even profitable in the long term.

But after reading your post, I get the feeling you are asking if gambling could be an investment in education? Is that is?

Gambling can be investment if you have money to make your own gambling business, Honestly if you are just a gambler it is hard to make a good profit because of them you can be lose but if you are the owner you can gain a good profit.
The other thing you can invest as partner like the offer of betking for investment and i saw someone already made profit such a small amount but it can be increase more. study the risk is still not a good method that you can know what will be the next result..

Gambling will never be like investing because when you invest you need to do a carefully analysis of whatever you want to invest in, in gambling this is not the case, you can play dice without knowing much about the game and the odds of winning does not change at all.

How about sports betting and poker? You need to have analysis with it too and many are also using gambling as tool for their investment. And as long as an individual is putting out some money and allocates it to gambling then that's consider as investment because you are risking your bitcoins with it. The trend today is investing with bankroll casino's.

Even in those games like poker and sports betting where you can win a profit, you don't run analysis in the same way that you do when you invest or when you trade since at the end does to our different activities one is completely dedicated to make money while the other is supposed to be just for fun.

It is not the same with only one exception. If you habe an investment hat is half half it is like flipping a coin. This is high risk investments though and are very unlikely to happen with large amounts of money.

In all ways, gambling can't be same as investment. Because investment is made to gain a profit over the time but gambling are for having fun activities. Both are completely different. In gambling, they have the option to win big amount to keep games more exciting but not for everyone to make a profit.

In general it's called an entertainment as it is base on the experience of the majority of gamblers, however in some it can be investment because they are reaping benefits in gambling using their talents and skills. The problem is only few can do that as most of us failed after many tries to seek for the money, what is important now is we just enjoy it to continue to appreciate it and will give a positive effect in our life.

Gamble will be like investing if you invest your money even if you know it is a big risk. You risk your money expecting to have a return from gambling. You invest in gambling more than your other responsibilities or for yourself. You put too much money in it treating it like a way to gain profit.

I agree. I am quite disappoint when people say gambling is investing. Investing is making smart choices and doing risk management so that you are likely to profit. However, gambling is having no control over the results so you rely purely on luck.

Yeha it was indeed true. However I think that gambling is a place of investment, but the investment in gambling will only benefit the owners place gambling or Casino. As all gamblers who play in it most are those who get the big loss. And I think that the thing in question is the investment with respect to gambling and not gambling to do investment in it. For if that is done then it is not an investment but a place to dispose of the money

Yes habibi what are you trying to tell    gambling is like flipping a coin and investments are to be done with the help of a financial advisor .You can gamble with your investments if you have lot of illegal money

Especially if you gamble using bitcoin ,you will experience something extraordinary and a lot of benefit.
For example if you gamble with 1 bitcoin worth $250 and managed to gain up to 2 bitcoin.
And then you withdraw it all when the price of bitcoin gained too lets say 1 bitcoin worth $500 now it is mean you have done more than investment, you gain profit here and there.

As long as people are considering gambling as a way for profit making and they are facing many risks for that they are developing some strategies to manage those risks then obviously they will be starting to treat gambling as their investment.

But gambling will teach them a lesson in long run after that they will start gamble for having some fun from it.
