Gambling is an investment.

[nimogsm]

Gambling as an investment is not mostly admitted by gamblers, because they would have been on it for some time now and found out to be of no difference to what they see if they had not invested, gambling platforms also suffer regulation challenge and they may not be able to allow all these to be offered any longer to gamblers because of government regulations, which are not applicable to allow us have access to even if the casinos want to offer them.

Gambling definitely cannot be considered an investment, because in the long run, casinos and bookmakers will beat the player and take their money that's how this business works. Gambling can be considered a profitable business if you are the owner of such a business and provide gaming services, then yes, you can make good money on it, even though the competition is very high and there are quite a lot of gambling sites today.

I personally value investment because in the long term, it offers the opportunity for asset growth, whereas in gambling, we can never guarantee that involvement will result in the opportunity to achieve maximum profits based on the capital we use.
If we were to speak like a business, perhaps it's not the gambling enthusiasts but rather the owners who provide the gaming services or the founders of the sites themselves, as you mentioned.
Investing and gambling are very different and their characteristics are not the same. Therefore, we need to be more careful and exercise greater self-control when engaging in them, so that you don't get caught in a state of excessive addiction.

 well said, never consider something related to luck as an investment
you would make a really huge mistake and you would only lose money
Consider it for what it is, that is, just a game, nothing special other than a game to spend time with alone or with friends.

The thread is mainly about people investing in gambling firms and making a profit from the investment. He talks about gambling firms offering shares on the stock market. I wouldn't mind buying shares of casinos like Stake because they have proved to be a well manged gambling firm.

Gambling cannot be an investment for gamblers. Bettors take higher risks than the house, so they lose more than they win. Those who see gambling as an investment might run into financial problems.

As a gambler, if you begin to consider what's luck based as an investment there's a higher chances that you will lose a lot and still not recover a dine from it. One thing most gamblers don't understand is the fact that no matter how good you think your predictions may be, you can not win the house without luck or the house just allows you to win, which the both of us know that the house can not easily allow that unless they have made a lot of money and they are doing giveaway and even the giveaway there's no guarantee that you will be among the lucky ones.

Anything that depends on luck can never be an investment, what is the basic basis of investment? We will invest where there is a possibility, even where there is a greater chance of profit than loss, we will invest there. But how is the case with gambling, here the chance of loss is greater than profit, so it can never be an investment. We must at least understand the basics, if we expect something from it that is impossible to achieve in reality, then it can only cause us losses, so we need to make the right and realistic changes in thinking, otherwise we will fail in all respects.

Gambling is an investment. To those running a betting company as you can see they make more money than the people patronizing them. If they don't make more money than the people patronizing them they could ve shutdown. For those playing gamble is not really investment for them. Because the chances of sustaining your capital money is not there. Gambling is a game of greed where the gambler always think to win Big.
In gambling nobody wants to start small for so long the spirit of greed must come which will lead to loosing all.
So I submit like saying the gambling company benefits more than those who patronizing them.

It is true that gambling is not considered an investment, but if we can be patient for a long time and gain the trust of the general public, then we can make money by operating a casino. I think it is not right to buy shares of all casinos, it is wise to know well about the company whose shares we will buy and acquire correct information and buy shares, otherwise we will be a hunting of fraud because there are many casinos, so scammers cheated people in various ways.

You are bringing such a solid idea to this forum, I have never seen this type of post before. The gambling industry is more valuable and profitable than others, and that's because gambling customers or users are loyal. They will come to casinos at every cost, and there are higher chances that people will lose 50% of their funds here. However, people are not interested in buying its shares. The reason is clear, I have not seen any casinos advertised for selling their shares, they are private and sell only to a few of their trusted investors, and the users don't trust the casinos themselves. Looking at this thread, check who is interested in buying shares and see whether casinos sell their shares or if it is just a rumor.

I'm sure that if every gamblers can understand the facts they will have to gamble responsibly without expecting anything from gamble. As a matter of facts, when losing is too much the best thing to do at that point in time is to quit immediately and continue later. But as you can see, there are some gamblers who intentionally chase after their losses because they want to recover and also make profits at the same time.
However, like I have said before that considering gamble as an investment is a loss loss thing, instead of the house to lose, you will be the one to lose and also become an addict.

There is no way we can assume that gambling is investment when it is a game of chance. You can lose everything today and win tomorrow. This is the randomness of gambling and their is no way it can be called an investment. Even if investment has it own risk, we can not compare it to gambling because the mode of gambling is different from investment. There is no way I can assume gambling to be a business because people are not making money because they use their money to gamble but because they are lucky to have made profit from their bets.

This problem occurs with most gamblers at first, they see it as if they have no chance of losing, so they come here with the full expectation of winning, and their mindset is definitely towards achieving financial success, which is why it definitely leads to a bad side. But every gambler should understand very well that the reality is that no matter how perfect your guess is, if luck is not on your side, you will not win. And this is why you should never play with excessive expectations, if you are not prepared to lose, you should refrain from it.

Some may be calling gambling an investment but we should not deceive ourselves because there are other things that we can invest our money into other than gambling except we want to go into the gambling business in full, but once it comes to playing bets, taking risks, we can see it as an investment, it's all about fun.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Gambling itself should never be considered as an investment coz it isn't. But then having a share with a reputable gambling company can be a fairly good investment. ..This is coz gambling companies as we already know has more edge than it's user and they tend to profit more from the odds and also from having many users. So imagine having a share with such a casino company, this means a steady influx of profits. But then it worth noting that every investment has its own risk. Partnering with a Gambling company also comes with it's own risk. One of such is that that gambling company may face ban or closure due to certain circumstances. And if that happens you as a partner may be left stranded....

Very successful casinos might not have the needs for investors since they are already successful, I learned that in the past, it was actually very popular but right now, very few are still offering shares, not the popular casinos that I know. Amongs the old and most popular casinos on the forum, how many are selling shares?

[Ugeh002]

That's like saying sex is an investment because you can buy shares of a company that fabricates condom.


If casinos are so profitable, why would they sell shares? Wouldn't it be better to keep all the profit from themselves?

Unless they need money, which the big ones don't...

That is meeting a policeman to keep you the police station. There is never a gain in gambling, so never an investment but lost consistently. And no  were to as for refunds. when you hope so much in gambling you become frustrated. Is that one thing life insurance??  Playing gambling is like having sex with different women never to gain anything returned.

You have to do as i do, sorry if i am not very humble, consider the game a pastime and therefore use it in this way, that is, a way to defeat boredom without investing too much money.

For example, i play poker with friends in real life.

[SamReomo]

But I tell you today having shares in a gambling company is a very good investment.

Yes, without any doubt it's going to be a useful investment for ones who understand about online gambling. But, unfortunately it's not as easy to buy shares of casinos because most of the casinos don't let anyone to invest as shareholders.

However, a good and reputable casino somehow starts offering its shares and allow it to be purchased with Bitcoin then surely some of us who know the value of such shares will most probably put money in such shares.

[m2017]

Gambling is actually an investment, those that have gambling companies has a very good investment and you can partake in that by also buying shares especially when the company is coming up because it will be sold in cheaper price.
It surprise me that I have not seen a Casino coming to this forum after building reputation in this forum to sell shares. Is it that it's very easy to run it? Well that's not it, gambling companies are not easy to run I feel people are usually not interested in buying shares in gambling companies because of fear of it not making it or because some casinos are not a standard company that someone can access physically and again a lot of gambling company are not public companies they are private, but you can buy shares in a private casino company, but only under special conditions.
Private companies do not sell shares to the general public like public companies do, private companies do it more in a private way with their own conditions.
But I tell you today having shares in a gambling company is a very good investment.
And I think it's high time reputable gambling companies should start announcing sells of their shares here too so interested members can buy.

Companies go public by issuing shares to the market in order to raise capital (money), for example, for further development, expansion, and scaling.

You're surprised that casinos, having earned a strong reputation, don't issue shares. This isn't surprising, as reputable casinos already have enough money to fund their operations and have no need for outside capital. Likewise, why would they sell a "notional portion" of the company and share the profits with outside investors?

To be honest, I've never heard of a casino allowing investment in them (publicly) in the early stages. Would I do that? I doubt it, as any "startup" entails significant risks, and in the gambling industry, where competition is fierce and all the "money spots" are occupied by established casinos with a good reputation, the chances of success are almost zero.

The main purpose of gambling is to refresh our mentality, have fun, and overcome boredom, it is never an investment or a sure way to achieve financial success. And here you must maintain the right perspective. Ultimately, the decision is completely yours, and you have to bear the profit or loss of that decision, so if you play here with the right mentality, in a limited scope and just for fun, then it will most likely not cause big losses. But when we take it as an important thing, from which we want to achieve something much bigger and also like a investment, that's when the main problem begins.
