Gambling = just for fun or an investment method?

[Swordsoffreedom]

At one time gambling was like an investment to me, although it is profitable but sometimes it becomes a cause of human stress.
I am saying from my experience, When you are unable to manage it properly, it can be left astray.

Nowadays I choose gambling as a means of enjoyment, I go to the casino to reduce the fatigue of weekly work and to get a little pleasure in the monotonous life. If luck is on my side, I win. but if I lose, it doesn't have much effect on my daily life.

And here’s my question: What is gambling for you — a fun time with a chance to win or a great investment method?
...

seems like there are many ago topics that almost resemble this...
for me personally, gambling is my entertainment, I only tried investing in a gambling platform once but the results were not much because of my small capital. I mostly only play slots because the animation is very funny and can help me release a little fatigue.

Gambling is a fun time with a chance to win. I wouldn't treat it like a great investment method because we all know the winning chance is too low in gambling, and I'm not too good at gambling games. But I know some people treat it like a great investment method because they are skilled in a card game. Actually, one of them borrowed bitcoin before, and after a few days, he returned it with some interest.

Actually, I see gambling as a fun time with a chance to win and not an investment. Well, when you said that it also requires skills especially when playing card games like blackjack and such, I know that I am not good with that. I gamble whenever I have free time and I do not consider it as a pure investment because I haven't spend more money in playing. It is just for entertainment and nothing else but maybe someday I may try to make some investment in gambling.

It depends on the casino on what they offer to their gamblers since there are casino who offer an investment option so some opted to choose to join with the house and wait for the profit and other choose to play and try their luck to gain as well to have fun.

Also if you mean you gamble on your free time then meaning you are here for fun so best to play with small amount to avoid unnecessary action that can make us regret in the end of the game.

It is quite interesting because usually the comparison is trading vs investing or investing vs staking, many will definitely answer it for fun, even though will never get fun when loses, there is stress, especially if you use the money that should be used for living expenses.
I read about bankroll management and this is quite difficult to apply not only when you win but also vice versa, when lose want to quickly cover losses, and when win, think to get more.
Until now, I only used the money I could afford to to lost, I just thought it was for fun but will hope to win, not considering it as an investment which is definitely difficult to carry out.

Gambling is gambling, investment is investment. Both have their own risk either to earn more money or lose our money. If we compared between gambling and investing, gambling still has higher risk than investing. You can lose all of your money in sec or minutes in gambling (See someone whom recently lose more than 610 btc in few minutes), while in investment, you could lose your money too, but it's not the whole of your money in instant, except the site where you put your investment, run away or closed with your funds.

At first I thought gambling is an easy way to earn because there's no so much effort to do in order to win since most games are base on luck. However after experiencing to lose myself because of addiction thats how I realized my mistakes of letting myself be addicted on gambling.

Now I must say that gambling for me is a way to kill time and to entertain myself. I dont use a certain capital that is meant for important things because I already learned my lesson from the past. It cant be an investment because it is risky and you need luck. But if we are talking about gambling investment (which I dont have experience yet) wherein you will invest in a particular gambling site, I think it is profitable though it takes time.

there are gambling site that offers investment . if you investment on them , thats the time you can call gambling an investment but for a common gambling site without investment feature i dont consider them as an investment

. gambling is for fun because its hard to earn money with them but investment is for money making and its not about luck because you can prepare and insert different strategies with it to make your investing more effective

Yeah that is Staking and i know about Cryptogames.net is having this offer for their investors or Players.
And there are couple of accounts that doing their updates each time about their investments in those gambling sites.

. gambling is for fun because its hard to earn money with them but investment is for money making and its not about luck because you can prepare and insert different strategies with it to make your investing more effective

But we cannot just tell gamblers about that because almost all of them are betting to win and not just to have fun,they would rather win that just being happy in losing lol.

I'm not sure if there is a site/s who offered that thing because their intent is purely for gambling alone.

. gambling is for fun because its hard to earn money with them but investment is for money making and its not about luck because you can prepare and insert different strategies with it to make your investing more effective

Gambling is not a money-making platform but can't deny that some gamblers considering this as their source of income. Maybe they right or maybe they are destined to be a gambler and live that life forever. But for most of us, gambling is just a pleasure. We find ourselves enjoying even do we mostly suffered losses. That was funny...but in reality, we are also sometimes full of regrets and disappointments.

[kryptqnick]

I think that gambling is different from investing because the latter is more predictable. Investing in various cryptos is considered a good idea, but I'm not sure the same holds for gambling, especially if a person is pretty good at one game, but not great at another one. Diversity of slots is one thing, but if a person is a poker player, it's probably better to stick with poker rather than play other games like Blackjack.
What's convenient with investments is that they are not random, they are affected by certain events (like when the pandemic was announced and the market went down), whereas gambling is independent of it, so it's harder to make educated guesses. But I do believe that some games are skill-based (like poker), so one can earn money this way, just like one can earn money by trading cryptos.
For me, however, gambling is just for fun.

[VivGaming]

Most of peoples here going with gambling for fun and investment is totally different thing and I am also thinking in this way because gambling is mostly depend on luck and investment is totally different thing you can do some search and have good knowledge then done investment this is really better and safe way but on gambling you can lost any time even you have banker.

[Becky666]

gambling to me is purely for the profits and how to win my bet to maximize my investment, but again I know gambling in most cases does not have any thing to do with luck rather it has lots to do with high level of expertise.

Not gambling in real sense is purely for profit, becasue we all struggle to win games; the last time i checked. Gambling shouldn't be seen as profit taking zones because is a base luck industry, this has ruined millions of gamblers in this industry, How long have you been maximizing your gambling profits?. Gambling is all about luck and not in most cases as you have claimed: when talk about winnings in gambling then luck is paramount.

[Xxmodded]

I active on gambling just for funny and not have decision for investment way to earn much money, impossible mind if you wanna make gambling site as your investment because there not little chance for you to get much money and profit in gambling. I take fun with gambling site because I like football and some time each one week in month I get betting with soccer team where I think have chance to win, just one week each month and some time two moths only bet one time, just active in gambling forum because I joined with tread have give away for winner prediction of english primer league.

[sujonali1819]

Personally, I take gambling as for fun only where when I feel better or have free time I want to test my luck by doing some fun. It's my personal. But pure gamblers don't take gambling as fun because they always think about profits. So we can say gambling is a method of investment to earn profits by using a sharp brain and experiences.

Hi guys!

How are you? Hopefully, you are all doing good in this complicated time.

Hey Karl, thanks I am doing fine in the current lockdown, hope you are doing good as well.

For me gambling is mostly for fun. It's a great way to clear your mind after a day of work and just relax a bit. And also you can make some money. But to be a real investment in my opinion you need to have some kind of constant returns and this is a bit difficult for me. This might be the case of me not following strict strategies or just get to emotionally invest after losing.

I think for people more experienced in gambling than me, it could be different. If you manage to get a constant return from gambling over time, it should definitely be viewed as investment.

Hi guys!

How are you? Hopefully, you are all doing good in this complicated time.

Today I want to talk to you about gambling vs investing.
Many people think that casino play is purely based on luck. But in addition to an element of luck, there is also a large amount of skill involved.

Investing has many of the same factors surrounding it. Many people feel that doing well in crypto investments is completely down to luck.
While some people who got rich from the Bitcoin boom in 2017 were lucky, there were also a lot of people who had followed the market and
had a good idea that something along those lines was going to happen.

There is a lot that gamblers and investors can learn from each other.
Both gambling and investing require a sharp mind and the ability to subtly evolve your strategy on the fly. But what are the specifics that they can learn?

You can read the full article in our blog: How casino play can sharpen your crypto investment skills (and vice versa!)

both are good in gambling as you can invest on it and also you can gamble on it.

there are many gamblers now that see the gambling industry as investment risking also and not just in betting only.

i also think that it is more practical to do both than just pushing our luck to hit the jackpot when we can become richer in other areas.

[Fundamentals Of]

I am always trying to treat it as both. But honestly it seems it mostly falls on being just for fun rather than an investment method. Even if I am treating gambling a little more seriously especially sports betting, I still end up losing more than winning. I guess that's just what basically gambling is. So I am already more or less settled in the idea that in gambling money is spent more than earned.

[erikoy]

It depend on what type of person are you in gambling, If you are a gambler then definitely gambling consider as  for fun or might be the opposite depending on the way you are betting. However, if you are a business owner or wanted to be part of those who run gambling or betting platform then you are an investor. Anyone has common sense can answer this. I think the best deal in gambling is to invest. This is one of the business that has a good return or profit compared to other investment opportunities.
