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.
but you need to realize the fact, that some time greediness can also cause lost to you, you need to remain moderate, specially in gambling where the chances of loosing money is always greater than making money.

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.

That is wrong. In gambling also mostly we can't control your earnings because once you bet you don't know whether you will win or lose until results are shown up. It purely depends on luck but in investment, if you invest in good business then at least you can predict some profit over the time. All good investments take time to give you profits.

yup and if you are playing gambling then you only risk your money, but if you make investment with the house and you can get profit with them then its called investing in gambling. for playing gambling, i think we should control ourself and our greed so we don't have to loss a big of money.

but i think your prediction cannot be proved as correct for every time. i think even investment also need your good luck just like gambling. investment adn trading have only one advantage and that is the knowledge and previous experience.

Gambling is like investing when you invest in yourself i.e you start taking several courses on texas holdem poker. You play against different kind of opponents every time for let's say 5 years every single day in games like zynga texas in facebook. You can challenge yourself there and after you can come in every poker room to show off your skills with real money and real tournaments in the major casinos FIAT or Bitcoin. This is gambling like investing in my view.

If gambling like investment than it doesn't mean that gambling is really investment. But i really respect you opinion, but in reality, every kind of business similar with investment. But every business name is different, only similarity wise we can't call that everything is same from like investment. But really i am not understand why people think that gambling like investment, even in gambling we win or lose our amount to play the games, but in investment no games, only use money in a right way.

It is in any case luck be required, but luck in investment is different with gambling. Although in investment need luck, but we still can manage if we have a good skill. So says @roadbits I think it's true, I agree with him. Gambling like investment maybe I do not know because this is game, while investment to get profit so they are different. Maybe when investing in a gambling site/casino it was can be called gambling like an investment.

Right in gambling we use the money to play games, it's not an investment it's just we spend some coins for our entertainment. But casino site investment is different here we will spend money to make business. In gambling, we will not expect 100% income because it is luck base game. But in investing, we will invest money to make a profit not to have fun with our huge money. So even I don't know why people call gambling like an investment.

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?



It can never be happen that gambling is similar into investing. Trading was a serious matter that need to grow it buy using some analysis and strategy while doing trade in the exchange platform. Compare to gambling the most often happen the player losses their money in the end of the game.

It only gets closer to investment when you have the discipline to quit when need be and have a set down bankroll for every bet which you can afford to loose. It's unfortunate most gamblers don't think like investors and all they do is bet all they have without even proper technical analysis of the game and the end up victimized by the house.

From the way you it is, only in some few games that gambling can be likened to investing and they are basically only games with skills such as card games and even in real life like draft or chess. In those games, because of expertise that have been developed then one can say its investing any money you put into it since you are sure to a large extent your money is coming back but same is not to be said of dice games or high and low without any form of cheating, its purely based on chance and it will always be gambling no matter how experienced the player is.

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.



Yeah, this seems odd. Because I feel that every gambler has a great advantage would never write a book, because of the advantages they get is from the results quite tired and certainly the rare book written just a crap and all the people who can't benefit will certainly think so. Please note that gambling is not a profit, but gave a whopping. Only they can understand to profit.Show yourself and never do anything bad thing if it wants to get big profits..!!

If you play professional poker, then it is definetely like investing with an expected positive value. Smiley

Well if you're that good in a certain gambling game then you're right. Being a professional poker player defi itely woyld be worth your time, effort and money much like when you're making an investment that you've studied about for a long time. You study where you're going to make your investments, do hard research to have a chance of landing a good roi, same as when you play, you make time to gather experience and learn techniques to betterbyour chances of winning

According to me it's not possible that anyone can become perfect by just doing Gambling because Gambling is just a Game Of Luck and a User can't win for long term because all the Casinos of the World work on a probability basis so I Don't Suggest anyone to do Gambling in order to make some money.......

Just for money making purpose one should not take part into gambling. If you have good time to spend, similar to forex then you can earn small amounts periodically as if that you get from investments. For this reason I believe gambling too can be considered as a investing source depending on the users need and the eagerness to spend time.

Research in gambling? Dude that is gambling you dont get to research something out of it.
You just play it and try to enjoy it without losing.
It is very different with investing, you just put your money there and gamble it.
Try investing in a gambling site with .01 satoshis then try another where you would gamble it. Then compare how different it is and you will see.

Well for me every time that I send some money to some gambling site I think of it as an investment,
So if I win I will just consider it as my profit to my investment and if I lose I will just think of it that my investment got scammed.

Gambling is not like investing in any way and i also don't think gambling should be considered as thing to keep your minds alert, it rather create panic, fear as well as lots of disappointment if you are playing with real money. And if you are playing without any real cash than it can be considered as a way to pass your free time. Wink

I agreed on this things, gambling can never be a kind of investment to me.  Because in any type of gambling you can start at small balance in your bankroll. And when you say investment it is not small amount only especially in this industry of course, And its true most of the time gambling can destroy your personality once you become addicted into gambling.
