If you see gambling as investment, you will keep losing.

This topic is also part of how you can control your gambling losses.

So the idea is this, investment is what you do with precision, not relying on luck  And sometimes, in some investment you don't lose everything. Like you can insure your investment and when it fails, you get the insurance company to come in, depending on the insurance product you signed for. Apart from insurance policy in your investment, some investment generally may still give you room to regain part of your investment and avoid total collapse.

But if you treat gambling as investment, you will see yourself chasing back what you are losing because at every gambling game, either you have a loss or you win but the number of losing outweighs your winning chance as the house edge and luck will likely go against you.

Therefore, it is better to limit your stop time or amount and resolve to treat gambling as entertainment, not investment.

How do you handle your gambling? You see it as investment or entertainment?

You wrote some nonsense regarding real investments, luck plays a big role there, too, and if you remove the inflation factor, I'm not even sure that there's a positive mathematical expectation of action.
Regarding gambling as an investment, it makes a lot of sense: at the very least, you'll beat those who lack patience. If you place long-term bets, you can definitely earn income that exceeds bank deposit levels. But naturally it won't be x10, if you pursue huge returns then the risk will kill you.

An investor makes plans and sets time out for investment purposes. You don't just jump into any investment opportunity without doing personal research on the ROI, seeking professional guidance and advice or even having the means to get the resources to invest with. That's why there is insurance policy to safe guard any investment plan in place.

Whereas for gambling, all one needs to do is have a source of income to fund your wallet weekly or monthly or as per the amount of time one spends on gambling. No need for personal research and insurance policies because the thrill of the fun and entertainment is what you seek first before talking about how much you may likely win even with all the strategies you try to employ to beat the house edge, is enough to make you believe in luck.

What many gamblers don't understand is that, gambling differs from investment, having the mindset that as you're gambling you're investing is pure self deceit, this has misled many gamblers alot, it is unfortunate that some gamblers has allowed themselves to be victims of such.
In gambling we must know that we aren't sure of anything, knowing this will prepare is to know the limit we can go while gambling, it will also help in reminding us to gamble responsiblly, it is just that there's nothing we'll say to convince those that have decided what to do but the truth has to be said, for me, i see gambling as a game of entertainment and fun, although profit is there but we must have the mindset that winning is certain, we should rather see wining as luck.

Generally speaking, if we see gambling as an investment, that is, if we expect too much success from it, then we are more likely to be disappointed in it. It is most important to limit gambling to entertainment, but in the case of most gamblers this is not possible, they consider gambling as an investment, they expect success through it. And this thing eventually goes to a stage where they cannot accept any loss, they want to recover their every loss in any way, and even if they have a win at some point, they continue to play for more wins. This kind of mentality is never an entertainment mentality, they have taken gambling completely wrong and that is why they will only face a lot of losses through it in the end. Gambling should be taken only as entertainment and nothing more.

How do you handle your gambling? You see it as investment or entertainment?

This is the first time I am hearing that people use gambling as an investment too. I only know of entertainment and making profit. And if you ask me how I am handling my gambling, I am a simple gambler who deposit what I can afford to lose and in the process if I wins, I would go home with happiness and if I loss I would still be okay because the money was already set aside for gambling and I know gambling is to through away the little funds. And I didn't see it as an investment or entertainment but to take profit.

[goldkingcoiner]

It cannot possibly be an investment.

Anyone with no self discipline and/or a delusion that gambling can be a steady income source (which is mathematically impossible) will eventually lose all their money and blame it on something or someone else. Sure, you can win an amazing amount, but that does not mean you have to bet large amounts. So why risk it all?

Personally, I use only the minimal amounts required so that I can play a diverse collection of games. I see gambling as pure entertainment and I make a plan to only gamble with a limited amount of money. And I tend to gamble rarely, which only makes the rush more fun.

How do you handle your gambling? You see it as investment or entertainment?

People who consider gambling as investments will keep spending money on it and using the excuse that they are investing to avoid having a reality discussion with themselves that they are really spending money on gambling and such persons will not want to do it on a budget because they believed they are taking a risk and they are investing it. But that is a very wrong approach to have, a better approach is to see it as entertainment so that you can also control the amount of money you use in entertaining yourself because knowing that it is entertainment to you, you would not want to allow it become a problem to your finances just so that you can be entertained at another time when you feel like gambling. I believe seeing gambling as entertainment will help you be more in control then when you see it as investments.

Thinking of gambling as an investment means taking it seriously. People invest for profit and if that investment is in gambling then of course their intention will be to get rich easily by playing gambling and winning big jackpots. Gambling is not a source of income and it is not a place for investment. Gambling is only a place for entertainment, only those who go here for entertainment can keep themselves in control and enjoy the fun. But those who think of it as a place for investment will continue to take big risks and they will suffer a lot financially.

I don’t see the reason why someone would be considering gambling as an investment…. It is called gambling and not a financial asset, or an asset to invest in, for a reason..
People just tend to intentionally approach things the wrong way, and that is one of the reasons why there are so many people making a lot of financial mistakes today.. The moment you start seeing gambling as an investment, you automatically begin expecting returns from it, and when things does not go your way, you will start chasing losses because in your mind you’re trying to recover an investment..
For me, gambling has never been an investment.. If I decide to gamble, I already know the outcome is uncertain from the start..

How do you handle your gambling? You see it as investment or entertainment?

I may have been wrong about gambling from the beginning but later I understood its main concept and finally I was forced to accept that gambling always depends on luck and no strategy or trick is used here, and so if we only invest money for investment purpose or money generating purpose then it will be nothing but loss. And all these things basically brought me to one thing that gambling is only for entertainment.
When we consider it as a quick rich scheme or investment, then we will keep the amount of our loss beyond our ability to lose which will throw us into financial crisis.

The more you take gambling as an investment the more you may be disappointed, many people have the expectation of coming into gambling just for them to take an opportunity in it, I'm not saying it is bad idea to do but it is not still departed solution to any economic challenge women face because gambling is meant to be for fun, if we have the privilege of winning a bet, then we should see it as an advantage and don't know when such an opportunity will reoccur than depending on it for survival means.

[Coyster]

We have talked about this so many times already. It is not an investment, you are not putting money into an asset or any endeavor to earn ROI over time, that is what an investment is. And going by that definition i just gave, you can be sure that's not what gambling is. When you gamble, you are mostly banking on luck and nothing else. It is fun and i like to gamble, but i disgaree with anybody who believes it is an investment.

Gambling is not an investment since its proceeds are not guaranteed unlike a real investment that you can have a higher chance of gaining even though it can still go south but the chances of your investment to fail is very slim especially if it is an investment that is well scrutinized. How will a normal person see gambling as an investment, it sounds awkward to me. You have high chances of losing in gambling since it is a game of probability and moreover, for many years we haven't heard of many people who made it through gambling which is why we preach for people to gamble for fun and with an amount that won't cause them pain if they lose it while gambling. It is better to see gambling as just a way to have fun at your leisure time when it is not your working hours than to see it as a method of investing your money.

[Shadiq]

Investment is labor and knowledge dependent, while gambling is luck dependent. Although luck also plays a role in investment, its amount is so small that it is not significant. Another reason to look at gambling and investment separately is the return, although the investment is guaranteed to give you high returns after completing the investment correctly, there is no return system in gambling. No matter what you use in gambling, you will lose that money. Although there is a possibility of getting a return, it is very low.

How do you handle your gambling? You see it as investment or entertainment?

The perception of gambling as a place to invest is not right in my opinion most gamblers who chase defeat or chase victory here the exact word is those who make gambling as a place to earn money or as a job, this makes more sense because there are so many who do it to make extra money in gambling, there is no element of investment whatsoever in the behavior of such people, unless someone invests in the casino not in the gambling activity itself.
Having fun is part of the intentions I've had so far.

If gambling is a good form of investment, I believe we would have already seen one of the world most successful investor Warren Buffet getting into gambling, but over the years Warren Buffet has never gotten himself into gambling. Actually gambling is just another great alternative choice of entertainment activities for adults to unwind as it provides both excitement and huge potential winning rewards when a gambler is on a lucky winning streak but always remember to gamble with only the money you can afford to lose.

[knuckey]

I find it difficult to consider gambling an investment. Typically, an investment is something we've thoroughly researched and are confident will return capital and profits in the future. However, gambling has no utility or anything that makes it worth investing in. Rather than investing, gambling is generally better considered entertainment.

[fredericktaylor]

I see gambling only as entertainment, it is not right to see gambling as an investment because there is no confirm of winning money through gambling and there is a greater chance of losing money than winning. Gambling is a game of luck. If you have good luck, you can win money by gambling and if you do not have good luck, you cannot win money by gambling, you cannot invest solely on luck. From my point of view gambling is for entertainment, I would never choose gambling to make money.

How do you handle your gambling? You see it as investment or entertainment?

From the names, any sensible person should know the difference. They call one "gambling" for a purpose and the other "investment" for a purpose. By principles, they are two different things that shouldn't be thought of the same way. You invest in an asset, but gambling is you making some predictions and betting.

Besides, the moment anyone thinks of gambling in its slightest as the means to make money is the very moments issue starts arising.

How do you handle your gambling? You see it as investment or entertainment?

The safe way is to treat it as entertainment. By treating it as entertainment, you will only play based on your allocation, by treating it as entertainment, it will not be your priority, and you will have a stress-free experience.
It's the opposite if you treat it as an investment; you will lose your peace of mind and money because, in gambling, once you bet, there is no guarantee that it will yield a profit.

How do you handle your gambling? You see it as investment or entertainment?

Firstly,I handle/consider gambling as an entertainment and a way I have fun,it’s inappropriate to categorize gambling as an investment.Those gamblers that view gambling as an investment are only wasting their time because the honest truth is that the losses would outweigh the wins in the long term and such people might end up regretting their decision in the future.There’s a huge difference between gambling and investing,those people think who there are the same the earlier you realize that in gambling your losses can’t be retrieved the better you choose a reliable investment that’s worth profiting in the long term.
