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.

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.

I don't think that even those professional players can live with only from gambling earnings. Because it is very hard for one to win continuously in gambling and if one lose money then they may play again and again to recover those losses and end up losing all their earlier earnings.

other than that,gambling is gambling and investment is investment no matter how you explain the terms and try to

Then you are wrong, because most of pro players really depends on gambling and they claim that only poker games that can bring back into good profit. And the money stake is really good on a long run, but not all people can make this happens because it really need a lot of experience before you can become a pro gambler

yes it is true and both have different significance and would not be same even have similar risk but gambling engage luck as a part of them and investment is pure how to putting your money into investment sites or physical investment but from profit side investment is more profitable if doing it right without mistakes and i mean investing only for legit sites or only for trustworthy investment

We cannot really say that investment is more profitable from solely gambling since we still cannot asure to earn some profits on both risk is still their and i can say that its 50-50 chances for us to earn on both aspects,  but although investment got in favor with this one since we only need to put our money on the gambling site to earn rather than playing that we will get some hard time to get the pot and win.

There are some gamblers here that actually making profit in investing to bankrolls and i think there is no problem to try it weather you making profit or not.. many gambling casino online right now are offering investment into bankroll and earn few percentage for every bet win or lose..
I saw some reviews here and actually he made nearly 1 btc in different in 5 different gambling casino he already made a review and some of them are actually not profitable unless it can drain your investment.. So it is still both risky but if you are wise and experiment and try every gambling casino you can experience if what site that fits to you that are actually making profit and paused the other bank rolls that not making profit to you..
Every thing needs to try because sometimes every review here online are not perfect so experience is one of the good thing to decide if where you can invest that can give you profit..
Unlike in gambling or you gamble your money you have more chance to be lose than to win or honestly if gamble for long time you will lose in the end..
This is almost all gamblers are happen in the end.  So for me they are not the same chances it is more profitable if you study every gambling casino..

true yeah you're right you can do gambling and investing simultaneously, namely by investing in bankroll gambling site, because when you invest in the bankroll you should need luck to be able to get a profit, you have to compete luck with the players that they could lose and you can obtain a profit, this investment will be the same as gambling #IMO

Investors no need to compete with gamblers luck in gambling investments because most of the time house is the one going to win money. But if you worry that you may lose money then diversify your money and invest in few good sites then your chances of losing money will reduce in these investments.

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?



gambling is never like investing and it will never be. because as long as you are involving money and taking risks that you can not predict it is not an investment in my opinion.

and what you say about elderly and playing card games as a gamble, it doesn't involve money and it is usually games like bingo and it is only for fun and as an entertainment so i think they can not be called gambling.

Gambling will turn like an investment if you join as bankroll, little risk than just play the games. There are some people already join as bankroll in some sites and the results they get profits and sometimes get loss.
We know that gambling is risky as hell and only a few of people could really make big profits or constantly get winnings compare to their losses, they are expert gamblers which spent years to studying and practices gambling so they know how to win it, I mean in the game that need skills and knowledge not kind of games that only depends on luck.

even in investing the earning part is not surely. you always have a certain level of risk and you have to accept the risks in investments to be successful.

but risk never means gambling and that is why nobody in the world call gambling an investment apart from the gambling addicts out there.

As i can say you can rely on investment, this is gambling investment that you are putting your money on and gambling is some business so of course they dont want to lose some big money right? So if you have big money to invest i will suggest you to put on gambling investment, may be you will lose some but in the end you will always get some profit. May be if you want to play and try some luck you can even do it but sometimes luck not with us and our greed is too huge to bet on everything, this is a risky thing to do unless you can control yourselves

But it still depends on your timing and on how much bankroll you do have to make sure you are profitable though. And we never know that particular site is going to scam us, there is nothing that we can do to prevent this thing from happening, we can only do some research on particular site before we put some money to their investment though

Most of those sites don't scam but many of them just don't have enough investors and they can easily be emptied by a huge large whale. That's why whenever a new gambling site goes alone, we ask it to prove if they have enough funds to pay investors. Because many of these new sites have less than 10 BTC in capital and yet they accept bets up to 10 BTC, and in that case how will they pay their gamblers balances?

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.

Gambling into investment has real difference and i don't considered gambling is like investing, they have deposited address provided you can you can't start without amount into your account. I learn more about gambling this is more interesting than investment most of investment website are scam when they have enough investors or huge amount to scam. In gambling your mind will more fasten it also help your mind to be alert to think fast aswell.

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.

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.

I don't agree entirely that any of the gambling methods are called as investments because those are just a games and in games, there is no guaranty that you will make profits and it totally depends on only luck. Investments will give some profit over the time but in gambling over the time one will surely lose money.

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?


Actually gambling can never became  investment , Still we can consider it as investment . But actually Both are famous for their risk of 100% ( matter of trust and market ).
So I will suggest you never consider gambling as investment And also in my opinion it can't be investment .

 this is a common mistake that i have seen many bitcoin gamblers make, they think if they can make money from anything then they can call that thing an investment.

investment is when you put your money in a business that gives you return based on real world applications. and the risk and rewards of it are always clear enough and can be assessed.

but with gambling or any other way like what some people do with HYIPs you can never many any kind of assessment about the risks and rewards. it is all random and based on luck. even in games that are mostly based on your skills (eg sports betting and poker) you are still relying on luck and you can never predict your loss/profit.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.
