When is Gambling Like Investing

[carlisle1]

Investing is basically a way to gain your money, there's no risk, just a small % profit or big % profit(usually big profit turn into scam in the end), its totally different from gambling which you used your money to afford to lose.

Studying human nature and probabilities with poker is have pretty true, but not is always true, people have their other side, actually its not accurate if you comparing used poker/similiar game, because human is completely complicated.

almost there but some of your statement is not true, investment has also a risk as you are not very sure if you will be gaining profit or not and/or it will be a big profit or just a small . you are right though but even investments with small profits are turning into scam as well, investment and gambling has the similarity to each other when it comes to risk has a lot of difference in concept I guess .

Gambling isn't really like investing, maybe vice versa. Investing your EV is usually positive while gambling it's not.

Gambling is a risky business to invest it is not a like its a business who are starting a business we can prefer to call it investment too..
But it is not the same investment like minor that you invest in altcoin just hold it for a long time and sell it in the right time.
Its too risky because if some hacks your business or someone win a large amount you will lose..
Gambling risky for almost all investment.. because many people are gamble..

[SparkedDev]

Normally investing is more favorable then gambling.
In real world markets investments have many factors to help earn you a gain.
Gambling 99% of the time people are losing in the long run except a few of the lucky ones.

I think you understood wrong about gambling because here risk and reward are not same but the risk is higher than reward. Your losing percentage is much greater than winning due to house edge and end results depend mostly on only luck. So don't gamble to make a profit but just gamble for fun and enjoy those games.

I guess it's important to know when to stop when the stock/coin raises.  Pigs get fat but hogs get slaughtered.   In gambling, you don't have that choice.  You just lose.

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?

What you are telling is very true about in poker games as it is played according to the opposite players against strategy. And gambling like investing is that you can say of sports betting where you can analyse about the teams and their strategy and matches of both teams their previous performance. So like their their are lot of way you can prepare your report and come to conclusion of their next result of match.

Gambling is like investing is when you invest in gambling site where you are not playing but your money is their in the site and if a gambler wins high then that loss will be shared by the investors and if their is profit same it will be shared by investors. so this is also called a way of gambling in Investing

Correct, gambling shouldn't be called as an investment instead it is just a paid entertainment for gamblers. These are just an exciting games but need to pay a fee to play these games, and you have a chance to win big if you're lucky. But that winning happens very rarely because most gamblers will play for longer time and end up losing back all money to gambling houses.

TO sum it all up

Investing

Trading Stocks
Buying ICOs
Putting your BTC on loans
etc


Gambling

Poker
Dice
Roulette
etc

There are huge differences between the two. The first one is less risk and lower reward. The second one is the opposite.

i think it is best if you don't consider gambling as an investment, not even if you make money from it.
that way you can experience the fun part of gambling a lot more than the stress and the bad feeling of small loss when you are trying so hard to earn money from it.

but with that said you can start trying sports betting so that you have a better chance at having a better win

So are you extremely foreign? Or just dull? I kind of understand what you are saying but then you drop the "Gambling risky for almost all investment.. because many people are gamble.." wtf does that mean. Are you saying that Gambling is risky because a lot of people gamble? I'm pretty sure a lot of people invest as well, that doesn't make the investment more risky. Gambling by nature is more risky than investing, but why do you say because many people are gamble. It doesn't make sense to me even if you are ESL.

I don't agree that in investment one will get less profit because in the long run one will more much more profit than gambling profits. In the longer run most of the people will lose their money in gambling, but in investments, one will get much better profits.

It's nothing like investing mate. It never will...
Although you can invest in gambling site.

Gambling is majorly based on your luck. But yes if you are highly intelligent in calculation then you have a chance in making a hell lot of money.

I think it will be the same as an investment, you also could have lost money on an investment and you can also benefit. the difference may be that investment will take a little your skills in selecting a company or a place to invest, while gambling using a pure on luck, some time ago I asked is it to invest in gambling, including gambling sites or not?
because of the profit will depend on the luck of the player right?

Investing in a gambling website is different than gambling because in that case the house edge is on your side, not against you.

[chineseprancing]

Investing in gambling to play is not profitable unlike to invest in gambling site which will give you profit it is like buying stocks in one.company.
