do you consider what you gamble an expense or investment?

[bhadz]

That's right, betting to think of profiting sounds more of an expense and not an investment. Although both feats potential losing and winning means that it can also be either. But if someone is there thinking of it as an expense, they won't be too affected by the negative outcome. And so, they just let what can happen through it. If they lose, they lose and that's not the kind of investment that they have because if they're into it as an investment, they'd be poignant about that.

I would say, for your best interest, it is better to consider it as an expense so you won't expect anything out of it. Because this is gambling, thus, there is no assurance that you will win from your bets. If you will treat it as investment, you are expecting that the money will grow. However, it is not. In most cases, you will be on the losing side.

That's a good point. Thinking of it as an expense so that there won't be any expectations left and if the results are opposed to what you're thinking, much better. That's how gambling goes if we're thinking more of it as an investment and not an expense. So, you're giving yourself a favor by treating it as an expense because it's good as letting go and there will be no heart feelings if ever the terms didn't meet what you're expected to see. And with that, as an expense, you're just going to have fun with it then.

In gambling it's the casino who is lucky most of the time not the gambler and gambler who understand this fact very early won't lose much of his wealth in gambling. Just spend the money in gambling which you can easily forget and you are all good. Those who have doubts about that can look around and see if they can find good number of gamblers who are able to win against Casinos? The success in gambling is not about how much money you win but about how successful you are in managing your money that goes into gambling. The more money you place on betting, more you will lose.   

Sure, the casinos take a bigger advantage since they collect more money from gamblers. Since it is about the luck, gamblers won't really have a big chance to win the games. But some gamblers don't really care about the wins, they are more focused on the entertainment side. As long as they can get a fun or entertainment, they have no problem to spend money. However, those people who are more focused on the entertainment, they won't spend too much money in gambling. Anyway, I'm not really sure about the meaning of the success in gambling. For me, we only achieve the fun matter and gambling is a part of an expense.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I'm wise enough to realize that it's an expense and not an investment. Though the wisdom didn't came easy or cheap. I have played and lost a lot of money on gambling and even though you might win some days or even months but in long run your aggregate would be negative. If you have too much expectations from gambling you'd hurt yourself more. Taking gambling as investment is a mindset that could break you. If you like gambling and want to enjoy for a long run, its better to take it as an expense and maintain your finances better and not to lose more than what you could afford.

You are not wrong, so many other people have also lost a lot of money in gambling thinking that they could make a fortune out of it but they didn't and they later had to realize that the winning they can get from gambling is based on luck and we know that the real investment is just something that is much more based on certain expectations.

[Tmoonz]

The money used for gambling shouldn't be classified as expenses or investment until at the end of our game .so it is at the end of each games,that we can say for sure if it is an expense or if it is an investment.if it happens to be successful we can say it is an investment since it has yielded profits however if it is not successful them we can classified it as an expenses.so we can only make considerations at the end of each games.

I don't agree with you on this, what we gamble can be considered as expenses but not to be seen as an investment because the chances of it to be called an investment is very low and if anyone should see as an investment such person will only end up being addicted to gambling, gambling doesn't have that potential to be seen as investment because the risk attachment is very high, generally it will be best we consider what we gamble to be called an expenses rather than investment because gambling for a very long time with the hope of it as an investment can be very unrealistic.

Taking gambling as an investment will no doubt make you to become a gambling addict. This is because it will make you you to always run after your loses. No matter how careful you are taking gambling as investment will make you get anxious of your loses and will be eager to play to win, leading to unnecessary decisions.

I can divide this into two sections:

1. as a player - this is defenitely done as an expense. Players who think this to be an investment are in deep trouble.

2. as the casino - if you are part of the casino, its investors and its affiliate then you are putting in money on the casino bankroll and eventually the return will come. This is a long term investment and might be a job for some. In this case it is an investment.

So what should players do if they want to earn from the casino? Do not go for the first option but go for the second option and have patience.

[Cryptmuster]

Let me ask you something, I’d like to know how you treat the money you use for gambling. Do you consider it an expense or an investment? These two should be approached very differently. Just like in business, expenses don’t generate income, while investments are meant to grow. What do you think? Please explain your answer as well.

Neither, it's just money that I can afford to spend on myself, which I don't mind losing, but at the same time I'm aiming to win and increase my deposit. I treat it as a game in which losing won't mean anything bad for me, but at the same time I want to increase my deposit, so it's a game that I take more seriously. I spend my time on gambling, so I'd like it to bring results, but I never play for big money for me, so I don't attach too much importance to it.

We cannot wait until we win or lose before we can classify whether money used to gamble should be investment or expenses. It's not a realistic strategy and it can lead to addiction because you're supposed to use amounts that you can afford to loose for gambling while in investments you can afford to use huge amounts of money. As a responsible gambler you're not supposed to use huge amounts of money to gamble because winnings are by luck. Gambling funds are better to be classified in expenses because it is not a business that you're sure your investment capital will yield you profits.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think that playing in a casino will never be an investment, from any angle I try to look at it it doesn't sound like an investment to me, it will always be an expense, a liability or a risk that is taken to see if we can multiply our money, since it causes emotions, impulses and all those things, well it is something, but not an investment, the only way I see it as an investment is if the owner gives me the opportunity to buy shares in the casino and then it is an investment.

Even though we all know that gambling cannot be an investment. It will really always belong into expenses. That's why when gambling, our mindset should always be as a gambler, we are ready to lose every time we play gambling. Now if there are others who look at this investment, it's probably just in their understanding.

Let's just understand them, because they may think that when they win a big amount, they may think that if they don't invest to gamble, they will not experience winning if they don't
bet or deposit funds at the casino, that may be their reason.

Yes, that is also one key cause that contribute to some people's addiction and I believe that there are a lot of gamblers that sees gambling as an investment, as a means by which they can earn money as soon as possible and that why some of them are going to take loan from a third party that they may gamble to double the money and repay their loan but they end up being disappointed and losing the money they borrow.

I invest in gambling with the hope of profit, but when my luck is bad, I face losses instead of profits. Then I consider gambling as an investment for me. If I participate in gambling to keep myself in a good mood when I am not feeling well, then I consider gambling as an expense. Because then my main purpose is just to have fun and in that case I don't consider gambling as part of the profit.

For me, gambling is just a way to lose money, i have said many times.
Ultimately, if you play online you are alone and there is no real fun.
Going to the casino, yes but you can't go there all the time and it's better to go with friends if you want to pass the time.
not to mention that there aren't many casinos in Italy

I don't agree with you that there's no fun playing online, mate. For you, it might not be fun but for so many gambler there's really too much fun for them gambling online than the physical land base casino where they have to be faced with some situations that they don't like. The only reason I go to land base casino is to have fun with my friends but if not because of my friends, I rarely go there because I can just bet on my phone right at home and still enjoy the fun. Lastly, gambling is not a means to make money, if you are not willing to lose some money, don't gamble.

We are putting our money into something that has an unpredictable outcome, it's best to treat it as an expense. Gambling Is a losing game and even though you end up winning you will still lose. This mentality can save you from a lot of disappointment, it might be a harsh logic but that's the reality. Winning a bet doesn't mean you have won totally, if you decide to stake again would you win?.A gambler can decide to stake a hundred dollars on a bet and win 300 dollars, if he does the same thing for the next four days and have three losing streaks that's not an investment

The money that is used for gambling should not be considered as an investment but expenses. Because when you gamble with your money you will not have 100% assurance that you will get the money back. When you gamble is either you win or you lose. In a situation where you gamble and you lose, then it will be considered as expenses. As a gambler if you take some amount of money for gambling you will also doubt the return of the money, because gamblers always play by luck. But as an investor if you take some amount from your money to invest in something, you will have full assurance that the money will definitely return to you no matter how little it is. Gamblers gamble just to have fun while investors invest their money to make profits.

it should not be considered as an investment even when you profit several times from gambling. because investment is to grow long term wealth through assets that have fundamental value, do you consider gambling as an asset where you can expect your wealth to grow in the long term? i don't think so. that's why it is included in expenses because you are just relying on luck in your gambling and hoping that you can win on every game, with no guarantee of growth or returns.

Gambling is fun and this is the main reason on why it do exist on the first place. This is location or place on where you do find yourself on spending up your time to have the leisure.
It is really just that things becomes that messy at the time that people would really be that starting on trying out to change up their approach and actions on which this will really be that leading into that having that more extend on trying out to play gambling just for them to make money on which this is really that a very wrong thing to have. On the moment that you do gamble then always make it sure that you are just that spending on the amount on which you can afford to lose and never ever make yourself that being optimistic about being a winner or even becoming rich with it.

it should not be considered as an investment even when you profit several times from gambling. because investment is to grow long term wealth through assets that have fundamental value, do you consider gambling as an asset where you can expect your wealth to grow in the long term? i don't think so. that's why it is included in expenses because you are just relying on luck in your gambling and hoping that you can win on every game, with no guarantee of growth or returns.

The only time that it will really be that become investment is on the moment that you would really be the house, but if you are really just that the player or gambler
then consider yourself on busting up everything that you do have. So it will really be that up to you on how you would be having that kind of approach and act accordingly.

How can someone have such thought in gambling, why we have already know that gambling is about expenses, despite any winnings that may comes out along the line it can never be classified as investment at all. Because though losses is always higher than the winnings. so however, I think it's not essential for someone to have such reasoning when approaching gambling because gambling is just a game of luck.

Following up gaming as an investment is wrong. Players are required to be enjoying the fun and not think of being entitled or gaining profits in future. Gamers shouldn't reason in a such maneer, it could lead to losing and aswell uncalculated predictions because they assume it's an investment.
