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

[bangjoe]

If you clearly understand the real nature of gambling and fully aware what casinos are up to, hence you will not gamble like you are totally investing, because that will only ruin your finances in the future because such gambling platforms do not guarantee us winning but will secure our guaranteed loss in the long run.

So if you still view gambling as an investment, stop that foolishness. Even a grader understands that in gambling, losing is the end destination. Otherwise, if you see yourself winning in the long run, you are just being delusional, holding to such beliefs that  are rooted from fantasy.

Ah it's nice to see that some people are aware of casinos, they can actually see where the advantages of casinos lie, and it's costing us in the long run if we think of casinos as an investment.
Don't be weird mate because there will be a lot of people who think like that, their stupidity won't be helped before they spend their money on gambling, and they will regret it all after everything falls apart and life becomes a hobo.

Treating a gambling as investments it’s a very bad decision making because the only thing they will be after is to be chasing their losing and that’s why it’s not good idea for someone to be treating gambling as the investment, the only i understand about investments is that is a where you can keep the money and hold for a long time when the market goes well you will sell and take yours profits. Where gambling is a place where someone will be h predicted a games by bet with their money, and once they lose they will not be any return or recovery of their losses.

I don't even think it is possible for someone to treat gambling as an investment when they know that the chances of losing are always higher than the chances of winning. However, if there are people who see gambling as an investment, I view such people as not thinking properly.How can someone see gambling as an investment? Most of the people I have come across who lose money in gambling do not always see it as an investment. Instead, they approach it as a way of trying their luck, hoping that luck will be on their side. Even with that mindset, they still lose. After losing some money, they are usually willing to recover it, and in the process, they continue losing even more.If anyone takes gambling as an investment, it could have serious consequences for their life because that idea may lead them to lose money quickly and make wrong decisions. Gambling should be seen as entertainment, and that is all

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

I think right now there will be no thought of gambling as an investment. Even if the gambler eventually wins after a series of losses, that is not the result of an investment made. Even the amount won is not necessarily greater than the amount of money deposited. 
Just play and bet with the budget you set, that is enough.

Even when the gambler wins a huge amount of money without losing first it doesn't change the fact that gambling is not an investment, you can win today and lose back all that you have won and in gambling there is no guarantee that you are going to be profitable in your gambling it is just a matter of luck and chance. It is purely entertainment just that people try their luck to see if they can get something out of it but it never makes it an investment.

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

I can’t afford gambling as a form of entertainment. There are many entertainment activities that can be enjoyed without spending any money, so why would I spend a huge amount of money on entertainment?

Sure there are... Like seating with some friends gulping bottles of beer and watching some EPL match but avoiding to go on P2P with those friends. The idea is, if you fall for the temptation of using money to make a stake or P2P, then don't see it as investment because if you do, you are likely to continue if you lose in the bid of trying to win back because, you didn't see it as entertainment to move on from your lose.

Some say no risk, no benefit, but when it comes to investments it is clear that in addition to the luck component, the ability to identify gaps between the risk and the benefit is key. As for gambling, however, the risk is always higher than the benefit because of the design itself of odds, and that's why as an investment, it is a very bad investment. Yes, the extraordinary can happen and hopefully end up winning, but that won't make it a better investment decision, and the more you repeat it, the greater the probability of losing. Take gambling as it is: an entertainment.

Quite instructive. I think one point to know the difference is the possible outcome which has been designed to favour those who even invest in gambling. That's those investors who are the casino operators, sportsbooks, club owners and others that has some involvement in gambling games whose main role is to invest their money as investors and has destined target for certain amount of profit. Rather than gamblers whose expectation is on the luck of the outcome favourable or against a side.

The only means and ways gambling can become an investment is when a gambler win some money through gambling and then put the money into the casinos bankroll investment balance, some casino have that feature that allows gambler's deposits money in from o staking the money an then share in the dividend of the casino revenue a share holder, I remember bustadice have that feature.

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

When I was still not yet understanding things about gambling, I thought that anything related to money is investing. But as I get older, I understand that it has risk, it's a matter of making more money for the part of the house because they made its operation as a business and not a charity. So if we take it seriously as a source of income, we'll mostly dismayed at all times. Because we will get used to losing almost on a daily basis if we gamble daily. But if we take it as an entertainment, there's not a lot of expectation when we do it and losing isn't hurtful.

[Sonia_123]

Gambling is not an investment and cannot be seen as one but a game of entertainment not a business of investment, it is better you understand it from that angle so that you don't get trapped in the bit of making profit.

Anyone seeing gambling as an investment does not really understand what gambling is and that is why you see those gamblers that took gambling for investment being frustrated and blames gambling for their situation

[Lida93]

When the primary motivation of a person to gamble is all about making money to escape what financial setback they may be struggling they actually do just anything to chase a win and against all odds they just never get to win a penny. Handling gambling is easy if we can just accept the fact about the activity that it's a luck tied activity and no amount of energy exerted towards it can shift the outcome to your favour.

[bhadz]

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

It has always been a source of entertainment. Because if gamblers who have been gambling all of their lives have treated it as an investment and they stay to their current lives with the status that doesn't go up, that means that it's not a good financial reliance to gambling. That's why treating it as a way to have fun is the better choice than to make something out of it to rely on as a source of income. We know better, and we understand the risk that it has that will be taken by all of us and results from our experiences which is way it can't be the same as the typical source of our incomes.

[Orpichukwu]

Since I first learned about gambling, I've never considered it an investment. I think even the average person knows that gambling isn't an investment because the outcomes are random and uncertain. And I think if you approach gambling with common sense, you should know and understand that it's not an investment.
Making money in gambling only happens if you play, and even then, it's very difficult due to the much higher percentage of losses.

Seeing gambling as an investment should mean that the person has discovered how to be making constant profit, which is not possible. The best way to survive in gambling is to treat it as it ought to be treated, which is as a game of risk. Winning is by chance; no matter the amount of skill you think you have acquired, you can't guarantee your own winning.

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

Even during the days when I used to gamble heavily, I never saw gambling as an investment or as something I could invest my money and watch it grow. I knew early to kill that idea of thinking of it as an investment.

Although, I still gambled and looked for a way to make profit off from gambling, but it was mostly me thinking of it as a game and not an investment scheme. Later, after I got less addicted to it and got more knowledge about gambling, I gamble for entertainment but sometimes I still switch and gamble for profit but never as an investment.

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

Anyone who considers gambling an investment will only disappoint themselves, as it can never be considered an investment. The meaning alone is different, investing is placing capital in an asset with the hope that it will grow over time, while gambling is risking money on an uncertain outcome in order to make money. Although both aim to make money, gambling is more often seen as entertainment.

[Questat]

What do you expect? Gambling is not a profitable investment tool that will generate a return that exceeds your initial capital, but rather gambling is a game of probability that mostly in the end, the house is always declared as the winner. And regardless of the amount of your capital, there won't be no guaranteed returns after, but if you're lucky, you could possibly get more than your expectations.

But there's no way that gambling should be treated as an investment. No investment that will make you poor and suffer financial losses. And mostly gambling is like that, especially if you have no self-discipline and emotional control.

Those gamblers who think of gambling as an investment, how much money have they recorded that they have profited from gambling? They can't tell, instead losses they will mention.

Won't it be, any adventurous investment that is not of benefit to you, is it the right step to quit it? If can't, why can't you find another strategy to gamble with little money to save yourself from the losses accumulated from what you thought gambling was an investment?

[topbitcoin]

Because it is not an investment in the first place and it would be a stupid mistake for gamblers to still consider gambling as an investment.

If indeed the goal is investment, then the instrument they choose should clearly not be gambling because until whenever this will not be a very good thing if you force yourself to invest but choose gambling instruments only because of the expectation of big wins.
There are many types of investments that can be made such as in gold, real estate and crypto why should gambling be an option when gambling and investment are clearly different.

You are right, but sport betting in particular is not just a luck based form of gambling, it requires luck for sure but there is still a way to increase one chances of winning, and that to find food knowledge, strive to learn and know every league, every teams, players and their individuals performance.

If any one can get to that level where they can easily tell the patterns of the players, their performance level or ratio, then winning in sports betting become a bit easier but not significantly easier since luck is still involved. The power luck has over gamblers and even trading is enormous, no type of gambling game where luck is not needed or dependend on for progress, even in games that require pure skills, one will still need to be lucky to win because your opponent might also have same level of skill you have, and what this means is that both players are going to depend on luck to win.

You see it as investment or entertainment?

For something to be considered an investment, it must have the potential for a positive return, whereas “gambling”—as you put it, referring specifically to casino games—has a mathematical certainty of a negative return (over large samples) due to the house edge, so it’s pretty silly to talk about gambling as an investment. It would be an investment if you owned the casino. 

[Julien_Olynpic]

It's actually quite strange to consider gambling as an investment. We don't even differentiate between casino games with their absolute randomness, card games like poker, and sports betting. Investing in casino capital is possible, but this is a rare opportunity, and there's a lot to learn. You can also invest time in learning about gambling to broaden your horizons and achieve greater personal development. But gambling, in general, directly contradicts the idea of ​​investing. Investing involves putting money into financial assets that can last for many years. Gambling takes the form of matches or other single-player games, after which your "investment" ends with a win or a loss.

[Pi-network314159]

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?

of course every gambler knows that the loses will always outweigh the chances of  wining, but they keep treating it as investment which they know it can not be regained if loosed like an investment under insurance company. what i just see is that people are just taken unnecessary risk in gambling, and this is as a result of addiction.

just treat gambling as a game of luck and not even entertainment or investment, because non of each suits the name.

I was also in this kind of thought as a younger person, thinking if I gamble that I have more chances of regaining my loses with experience, consideration and compensation from the operators but we now have seen the reality, no longer wishful thinking.

But if we take it as an entertainment, there's not a lot of expectation when we do it and losing isn't hurtful.

That is the point where you gamble as you can bear the loss incase you lose.

You see it as investment or entertainment?

It would be an investment if you owned the casino.  

Everyone in doubt needs to hear this.

If you own a business then you are an investor. If you are gambling, you are not investing but trying your luck to be a winner out of multitudes that entered for an outcome.
