When is Gambling Like Investing

[romero121]

Gambling can never be considered as a investment, because with investment you have assured pay back after certain time period but with gambling nothing is assured. So in my view gambling can be considered a earning source and not as a pure investment.

Your wrong, gambling can't be considered as a earning source because it is meant for just a fun and entertainment purpose. You should go to gambling when you need some enjoyment and if you want to grow your money then should find some good investment options, not gambling.

Not all investments come with fixed profit assurances like investing in share market, bitcoins, casino house bankrolls etc., All these investments come with some risks, and in the longer term, we have better chances of making profits from these investments. If you want a fixed profit, then only one can give FD and interest rates will be very small.

for regular users who have not dedicated their lives to gambling it can never be an earning source. and most people are like this, it is only for entertainment purposes. the only way you can make profit from gambling is to get lucky and that doesn't happen every day or if you are a professional gambler like those big Poker players who do it for living.

Well if you mean it is like investing in your health then yes I have an example. A friend of mine was suffering panic attacks and when he started playing poker online they all gone almost comletely. Yes, he loses some money playing poker online, but it's nothing compared to what he paid doctors before or to how much he was spending on medications.

There is nothing like that, gambling always end up badly if you keep on continuing it and how can you compare gambling to some medication? Of course health is really important in your life but there is nothing if you compare it to this kind of thing. And how is that possible to cure disease just by gambling poker, if this is for real so there wont be any sick people around the world. Really doesnt make any sense

Honestly i think something like what Betwrong stated happens.  This is called distraction/diversion of attention..  So instead of focusing the persons mind in panic or something that triggers him to have a panic attack, he jus occupy his minds with something else to do. 
Same treatment had been implemented to gambling addicts by simply spending their time and attention to focus on other things and to avoid gambling.

But why he must gambling so he can calm down? Does not make sense though, there is tons of activity that you can focus on. And if you are doing gambling, you have far more worse thing if later you addicted to gambling. But meanwhile if you make some investment may be you will have chance to get some profot for this treatment so it is much better than you distract it by gambling

You can never be sure that you will get back what you have invested...
In this case, gambling is much more transparent. You instantly see if you won or lost.

Well I will not agree with you. I invested in a gambling casino site and I got it back plus the interest. I don't think gambling can make your money back since you can lose if you are not lucky. Rather than passively wait for your profit in investing in a legit bitcoin casino gambling site. Well if you are looking for legit casino site. You can message me and I will tell what bitcoin casino site I am investing.

I think you misunderstood about this thing though, gambling is sure like investing though but with higher risk to get back what you desire. It is not always that you can get your money because of the risk but if you can outcome that risk you will get more better payout mean while if you only investing with some small amount I dont think that you can get some penny from investment

Yeah he misunderstands that investment will give assured pay back after investing. No, it is not the right way he thinks.

All types of investments are risky and it depends on the investor on how he will take the risk and willing to accept the fact that he will lose.

The same thing in gambling, it is risky. You have the chance to win and lose, gambling is just like investing your money the way you want it and to risk it higher.

Gambling will give you instant pleasure with your money, but investing takes the time to show the results. Investing is a better option if you're looking for good returns from your money, but the only thing is you should find a good trusted sites and products to invest your money.

Investing for me is when you were able to minimize the risk and maximize your chances, still there's a risk, right? So, the activity of gambling alone is too risky for me since you are playing against the house advantage, the only way you can turn things to be in your favor is when you own a gambling site or invest in existing gambling sites.

So there's something similar between investing and gambling right? - there's risk in both,of course usually in gambling the risk is at a lot higher level but in the same time there's nothing to guarantee you that the investment you've made won't end with a loss either, so there's not a simple answer...I guess.

It looks you made things to complicated in your post and now looks difficult to understand. Gambling is not a investment because it is fun activity like going movies or pub etc., so there you need to spend money get the entertainment or fun. But investment is for growing your money and these investments will have some risks but we must take those risks to grow our money.

That's somewhat true. However for many professional gamblers who do it for a living, they probably don't consider gambling fun but boring since they do it on a daily basis. And the same is true for investing. Some people trade stocks and find it boring while others do it and find it fun.

Completely agreed  with you adaseb!
If you're good at something there's no reason you shouldn't take advantage of that or even make a living of it!
I'm not saying gambling and investing are identical things...but how will it sounds to a professional gambler the statement "gambling is just for fun"?

It's only when you invest in a gambling site you might consider gambling as investment. No way should you think gambling can be an earning source. People who think like that end up losing everything. And by the way even investing in a gambling site might be risky so your profit after certain time period is not guaranteed anyway.

Even if you invest money on any gambling bankroll it is not a gambling but you're still investing and it is just a different way of investment. Gambling games are just to have fun and not for earning money instead we need to spend money to play these games. So investing and gambling both are completely different not same.

There had been some argument that investing is gambling itself, but it was cleared that this two things are different.  In form of investment there are some categories that can be labeled as investment.  You can either invest your money or your time and effort.   With gambling, it become an investment if you spend your time learning the curve of the game and making use of the experience to apply it to the future event.  This kind of thing can be apply to skill / strategy based gambling games.

But still, those skill based games called gambling, not an investment. The reason the result still depends on luck. Investing is in any business is different from playing games. If you want to earn money then gambling is not the right place for sure.
