When is Gambling Like Investing

[SparkedDev]

Yeah gambling is meant to be entertainment not a job.

[Oralmat]

No, Gambling is not like an Investment, Gambling is a game, but in gambling games, we use money, but we are not doing investment on it.
When we start to do bet, than it mean we are use our money in game, and in the end of result if we win in it than good but if we lose, So its mean we have lose our amount on gambling, IT doesn't mean that we have lost our amount in investment.

Gambling will be effective as a investment when you have cent percent assurance that you win the event. Whether you bet on the lower odd or highest, the winning decides it to be a form of investment or just gambling

No one can tell you 100% accurately that any team or a person going win unless the match is fixed. Even though it is fixed but still you will have a fear that result may change. Gambling is just a playing games for fun but investing is to earn money over the time. You need to wait for investments to grow and it will not happen instantly.

Just because we are putting money or wagering it with gambling that is what I'm already considering as a form of investment, because are the one that will decide whether you will invest it to some profitable things or just simply gamble it and hopes to win bigger amount if you are lucky enough when you gamble.

Wagering is enjoying the games, not an investment. If you want to win big money in short time and enter to gambling means, it is not an investment but taking significant risks to play those games. Winning chances are almost nill in gambling. So as per me it is not a investment. Those are just fun games but need to pay for it.

We are suppose to do that way but the reward like we can win without limit attracts us to make it a serious investment, and of course when we are talking of investment there should be a careful strategic planning that is when we choose our game and use our skills. This type of investment is very hard since most of us who tried failed in the end and others even have a miserable life because of gambling.

But I think that is pure greed, since to earn any significant amount of money we must be willing to work hard for it, the allure of gambling is not very strong if you understand the fact there is not an easy way to make a lot of 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?

Gambling is like buying a penny stock that is going to die but hoping for that 1 spark that could make it shoot up in price.  You buy it without knowing what it actually is.
Gambling is Gambling.  Investing is Investing.

That is true, gambling is just a games and we can't compare that with any kind of investments. But some people think that they are risking money in gambling so it is same as investing. They should know that you need to pay money to gamble and that money is not a investment. But if your lucky then only sometimes you can earn some big money.

Primarily it depends on how you manage your gambling journey, if that is for investment to you therefore it is just and fair that you have to device a specific game plan and ensure that you will follow it diligently, this could be a very hard journey but the success is very sweet if you can do this.

On the other hand, those people who are gambling for money but primarily relies on luck, it's not investing at all.

On the other hand, if you just buy a random stocks and you hope it will rise then it's a kind of gambling, ain't it?

gambling is just similar to investment but in gambling we can control our earnings and we use money both gambling,investment but on investment we cant control our earnings and its takes time to build up unlike on gambling.

[Ziskinberg]

gambling is just similar to investment but in gambling we can control our earnings and we use money both gambling,investment but on investment we cant control our earnings and its takes time to build up unlike on gambling.

It's pretty similar base on you knowledge and skills, there are people who are making money in gambling and we can call them lucky enough to have that kind of skills and with their skills they can make a living in gambling, however if you compared investment and gambling, the automatic conclusion is gambling is for fun and and investment is for the purpose to generate income.

And people who are making gambling as an investment are only few in this world. Because if those people are relying always their source of living with their luck that's kinda risky. And for both, investment and gambling you need to invest not just money but also your time. In gambling, the more you will invest the more chance of losing but in investment that's a different thing.

As everyone says gambling is somewhat like investing just like in a business you invest like you gamble in a betting game when a business earns profit and if economic demand of your product is progressive and if not then thats the time you are losing your investments. The same with gambling if you are betting in a sports game and your investments is your bitcoin in your wallet and yet chances were there in a positive situation and you won that would be consider profit but if you fail then you lose the invested btc.

I agree, there is a higher chance of losing in gambling. Unlike in investing on a business even if you invest some huge money there you can still minimize the risk of losing by basing on different factors. But in gambling you need to rely on your luck in order to gain profit. Also to always have profit in gambling you must have many strategies to use because one strategy does not always works.

i think gambling is different than invest, although have the same meaning "a form of assets with an expectation of profit in future"

That meaning is too broad and does not truly reflect any of the two. Gambling and investing are extremely different. Yes both have a factor about chance and luck, but they really have so much difference. In gambling you can't change your choice. Once the game starts you already have a fixed number you need to hit. Unlike in trading, if you buy an asset it is up to you when to sell that asset. In gambling the chances of winning will remain the same regardless of being an experienced gambler or not. In trading, the more experienced you are the more likely you will profit from trading.

No, Gambling is not like an Investment, Gambling is a game, but in gambling games, we use money, but we are not doing investment on it.
When we start to do bet, than it mean we are use our money in game, and in the end of result if we win in it than good but if we lose, So its mean we have lose our amount on gambling, IT doesn't mean that we have lost our amount in investment.

Gambling is always a game, a type of entertainment which you should not get addicted to it. Investment on gambling only cause troubles and bad results. Too much gambling can make you poorer. Find an another real life project is more useful and profitable than throwing your money through the window

Yeah gambling is meant to be entertainment not a job.

Yes, I agree, if we regard gambling as a job, certainly makes us stress if we lose, but if we make entertainment of course whatever happens will make us happy.

i think gambling is not a job, its only some thing that we do in our times and its like a hobby for few people. we should know that gambling is not the same as investing, its different thing and although both gambling and investing need money but the main purpose is different. gambling eat our money, meanwhile investing is share the profit from our investing.

[paramind22]

I do some buy and sell in rare books and I recently found a signed copy of a certain "famous" modern gambler.  I couldn't sell it for about six months to a year, even at $5.95.....finally sold at that price.  It had a long personally written note in it.  Goes to show a lot of the hype about modern superstar gamblers is just about the money they made, a very temporary fleeting fame.

I agree with you, gambling is not a job but I also disagree with you and i think gambling can be hobby. There are so many ways to gamble without money with chance to win money, for example poker freerolls, faucets, giveaways etc. Gambling is math game it means sometimes you will lose and sometimes you will win even if you play for free.
