Gambling is an investment.

Most people only consider this in the players pov, but if you look in deeper you will come to know that gambling is a very profitable business, and profits are guaranteed because of simple maths. So investment in casinos companies is advisable and will end up profitable,

And I do feel that one of the reason most people do not invest in in gambling is because of fear, and it is not what most people investment in normally so you have little of no body to tell you their experience, but nevertheless it is a personal investment and you making researches will go a long way and give you more understanding. But if you feel that investing in casino is of high risk then you are wrong

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.

Most gambler do end up losing in the long run, and gambling cant even be categorized as investment, so anyone thinking gambling is investment is already getting everything wrong. Most gamblers do lose in the long run, but if you are smart, and you are able to control yourself, then you won’t be losing. After some people have started winning, they are always distracted, and won’t want to stop gambling even when they are suppose to stop which at the end they going to lose everything back, that’s why in the long run most gamblers don’t actually make money, only the smart ones do.

Precisely for the reason that casinos are highly profitable businesses, they are usually created in the form of closed type joint stock companies, and accordingly, even if you really want to, you will not be able to become a co-owner of a casino.

Known casinos don't open their doors to doing business with the investors. It was just their close friends and family members. So anyone who wants to invest with them ends up on non-reputable sites.

There is something I found on the internet. The dividend is very small or even 0, not an interesting investment opportunity indeed.

Unless it's someone who doesn't know how profitable gambling is or who doesn't gamble and study how the system works, that person will not grab the opportunity of becoming an investor in the gambling industry.

Most of us don't just have the direct source, and trust becomes another issue. If a reputable casino offers open investment, you will see how it will hurriedly be filled, as it's always being done under private investment.

Logically I think investing in gambling (putting money to the croupier to be used as capital to enlarge the casino and share the profits) is a brilliant idea, the reason is because as we know that the percentage of losses is higher than wins, meaning that most of the time the casino must be more profitable than the gambler and we have proven it when we play.

As you said if there is an open offer from the bookie especially if the casino is proven to be reputable then there will definitely be a lot of people waiting in line, this means that it is profitable, but I'm sure it's not that easy to be part of them.

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.

I agree that if it depends entirely on luck, then it is not an investment because, as far as I know, investments are not made based entirely on luck. At least there is a definite chance of profit, whereas with gambling, I don't think so.

And yes, as you said, investments have a high chance of profit, but with gambling, it is the risk of loss that is high. That is the exact difference.

The casinos you mentioned are public companies and, accordingly, their shares can be purchased on the stock exchange if desired. But I doubt that with multibillion-dollar revenues from these casinos, dividends are not paid to shareholders. I can assume that this information is not public or that shareholders' income is generated in a different way.

So, Op, let me rephrase you: Gambling is not an investment; the Gambling industry is an investment. Which is casino itself. The definition of gambling is that you are staking some of your valid assets in the hope of winning something equal or more valuable. But you are yourself hosting the game, providing the service in a general sense, you are working as an agent, not losing money.

Marketing cost , the Building project is a different aspect. So you want to invest on casino, you could find stock market a lot of casino providers.

I think you are just seeing it from different angles. When they say gambling is an investment, I don’t think they really mean placing bets or spinning slots no. That one is clearly not investment, and like you said, because people mostly loss there.

What they meant and even make more sense to me is owning a part of the gambling business itself, like buying stocks of casino companies, betting platforms and all of that.

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.

LOL. You messed up, mate. Gambling cannot be considered an investment. Gambling is gambling, and it is mostly referred to for entertainment purposes only.
If you think from the casino's perspective, gambling is a business for them, and they make money from their company. They do not gamble themself with the customers. They build the product and the customers gamble on their platform and they make money from it.

Why a established casino would sell their share while they don't have to? Usually the companies sell their shared to have more investments and the owner wants to have more parteners. Usually the casinos are owned by one or two people or probably a group of people who are mostly millionaires. They don't need to sell their shares.

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.

You are calling gambling an investment which is not right. Gambling is always gambling. It can never be an investment because there are no guarantees. In the case of investment, everyone understands that in the long run it will benefit us. But in gambling there are no guarantees. Gambling and investment are two different businesses.

You may say that investing in casino companies can be profitable. But we have to remember that casino companies never sell their shares. Because casino companies have enough money. We can say that the ownership of individual casinos changes from generation to generation. So although your investment option is good, in reality it is a very rare occurrence.

Most people only consider this in the players pov, but if you look in deeper you will come to know that gambling is a very profitable business, and profits are guaranteed because of simple maths. So investment in casinos companies is advisable and will end up profitable,

Like you have explained, gambling is a very profitable business and that is for those that have the money and the manpower to create their own gambling platform with the necessary works needed to make it a success.
There are so many gambling platforms online and we can choose from the ones we like to bet on since they are hundreds in numbers.

Gambling companies may sound profitable but they are full of risks and uncertainties. Today they are legal, tomorrow the government changes the rules and the whole business can be hit. And the moral aspect cannot be ignored, making a profit on people's losses is mentally uncomfortable for many. If it is private, there is no opportunity to see the accounts, you have to believe whatever the owner says. I think it is more like a bet than an investment, the only difference is the amount of money is bigger. So I personally feel comfortable staying away from this sector.

gambling is not profitable as you claim it to be and that's just the simple truth, I don't if anyone is trying to use that mindset to follow up with their gambling because with all the testament I can say that if your forward thoughts about gambling is to make yourself rich then you would be surprised the wonderful things that can happen along the line when you are following that course. Gambling in it's original state is actually meant to fulfill the joy and the feeling of winning but with the sharp taught at the back of your mind that anything can actually go wrong anytime.

[Numeral]

To be honest, I have never heard of shares in gambling companies. This is probably because they are not publicly traded. If you think about it, they have high potential regardless of many other factors that are characteristic of shares in companies from other sectors. But before buying such shares, you first need to understand the legal implications of owning them. After all, it may not be possible in every country, so if possible, you should assess the conditions and weigh up how promising the investment will be in each individual case. In addition, the author of the topic mentioned the special conditions for buying shares in a private gambling company. The more details there are, the more food for thought and decision-making there will be.

[Orpichukwu]

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.

Once it's just luck-based, it should be treated as a bonus to win money and not like an investment, but those who benefit from the losing of others can consider it as an investment, which is exactly what the casino owners and shareholders of gambling companies consider it as.

[silpersurfer]

It is clear that gambling is an industry that is quite profitable for its owners. And I think the gambling industry is one of the businesses that makes its profits from the losses of its testers or players

Gambling does provide quite large profits. But you also have to know that the taxes for the gambling industry are quite large, and gambling is also started quite strictly by the government. And on the other hand, not everyone feels comfortable enough when investing in a business whose profits are based on other people's losses, and this may all be the reason why gambling stocks are not as big as expected.

I agree, because the reality is that gambling is not permanently profitable in any way, in the long run we have to bear losses from it, but even then those who imagine gambling as a way to get rich are basically misleading themselves, and their wrong decision can lead them to much bigger losses than they ever imagined. Gambling is for entertainment, but behind that joy lies a deep uncertainty, we often start considering it as a means of earning money, where this wrong thinking basically leads us to the greatest losses. Everything can turn upside down at any moment, and because of this uncertainty we always have to be careful, but we cannot do this, and this is why it causes losses for us.

There's nothing like using gamble as an investment because using gamble as investment when you are not buying shares from the casino directly except you playing a bet everyday hoping to win is no form of investment because you are going to lose at any moment. Even when you have just made the bet you are supposed to consider the bet lost because there is not guarantee that you will win it. No gambler want to see themselves lose but even with your predictions it is not in your power to make success happen. If anyone is looking for investment there's Bitcoin and other businesses out there, they should either buy shares or build one in other to make profits.
