Is gambling also referred as investment?

[ChocolateBitcoinK]

Have a colleague at work place who keeps saying that gambling is also investment that in gambling whatever amount you use to gamble can actually yield back the results, he emphasize on that if you are gambling you should do the best to use a better amount to place your bet so that if you win then you gonna have good pay out.

Gambling is just a place for entertainment. You know that if you gamble, you will lose and you will never be able to keep the profit. But your emotions will encourage you to gamble. Especially if you are taking drugs, then gambling becomes much more enjoyable at that time.

Does your colleague know what investment is? Investment is that which you can expect to get income or profit in the future. Gambling is a mind game. No matter how much money you deposit, gambling will never promise you income or profit in the future. Your friend is deeply addicted to gambling, that is why he always has serious thoughts about gambling. That is why he thinks of gambling as an investment.

Basically, this type of person has a blind mentality towards gambling, and this is why they consider gambling as an investment. In what way can gambling and investment be considered the same? I do not see any such rational argument.

We can easily see clearly, where gambling is entirely dependent on luck, we have nothing to do here.

But in the case of an investment or business? We can research everything about it, manage it correctly and increase our chances of success, thus we can reliably profit from an investment or system. But this never happens in the case of gambling.
In gambling, we face more losses than wins, and it is very difficult or almost impossible to profit from gambling in the long run. So gambling is a entertainment, not an investment, but for those who consider gambling an investment, I would say that it is just a failed investment for them.

How will you be on drugs and you going to be enjoying gambling? If you are on drugs you no longer in your right senses, so I don’t really know how you going to enjoy gambling during that period. If you are gambling and you are in drugs, then you won’t be making the right decision, and it’s all about gambling. In whatsoever you doing, if you are on drugs then you are already out of your senses so I don’t think you will be able to make right decision during that period of time. If we really want to do anything serious, or we a in a situation where we are suppose to make decisions, then we should just stay away from drugs.

When someone is addicted to gambling, they say lots of things just to make it look like what they are doing is right, and what’s why the person is comparing gambling with investment.

Of course, investing has nothing to do with gambling. If you consistently invest with a long-term plan, hold on to it for a long time with confidence and properly utilize every opportunity that comes in the future and do not get quickly disappointed by market volatility, you can expect to make money in the future by holding on for a long time with confidence and patience.

Yes, gambling is good for entertainment only, there is no confirm of making money through gambling because the results of gambling are completely unpredictable it depends a lot on luck, if luck is good then you can make money through gambling so research on gambling is not always accurate at the end of the day any result can be. I think comparing gambling with investment is completely foolish.

If we are losing, we do not need to go to any edge, but we should stay in the middle of the house and see our problems where we are losing. Because when gambling is played, only two things happen, either we lose or we win, and it is also based on our game. If we are playing a game that requires brains and has a strategy that we can win even if we lose. Digital casio is also being played on the basis of fraud, and physical casino is in front of our eyes, in which the chances of fraud are very low. Why do we want to make gambling earnings capital, why do we think such ideas? We should stay away from it because its interest does not end even by selling something in the house or our property. The effect of gambling is very bad and it makes people crazy and it also destroys people.

Bro, haha, when I said house, I was referring to the mathematical concept, not a physical location. This shows you failed to pick up what I meant. So you see, every casino game is designed with a built in probability advantage for the house, meaning for the owners of the house, and they do it so they can make a consistent profit regardless of their customers' outcomes.

What you said is true, but bro, it is completely irrelevant to what I said. I hope you understood my point now. If still not, then be honest, as by being honest you can learn. Otherwise, you won't.

I understand what you meant. Your point was that out of 4 people gambling, there is also a fifth casino. That is, if we are losing, our money will go to the casino and whoever is winning and winning with his skill and the amount of money he has. Although it does not give profit to the casino, it is not like that, casinos are being born day by day. There are some good and bad ones among them, so it is difficult to search for them, but we do not go to casinos and regarding Bitcoin, we will be quite safe from casinos, so we should avoid it, but some people are impatient, they want to win before time, so gambling has become very common. I admit that I said and took my word but I have understood it because my intention was to call gambling wrong in every way.

I paused a bit, while something was ringing in my head that if this dude was joking or if he truly understand what Gambling is. Of course I didn't agreed with him because I know gambling is never investment but a game of entertainment and having fun. Whatever above this is never regarded as an investment rather being too open to be deceived.

In other hands, investment is different from gambling, let say if uses specific amount to buy Bitcoin worth of 100$ and if market drops the investment decreases by dollar equivalent but the fractions of my Bitcoin remains the same till the market took back its place or even move above expected price and I could likely sell to have my profit whereas, I can also hold for longer time as I wishes. But on the contrary, if you uses same amount to gamble when you lose it there is no way to get it back and there is no possibility of winning, in fact the chances are 50/50 base.

Is he right from what you think?

I don't see how gambling and investment are the same thing. With investment, you actually own something, be it stocks, land, Bitcoin, whatever. Even if the price goes down, you still have it and can wait for it to bounce back. But with gambling, once you lose, that is it. Nothing to hold onto, no recovery. It is just gone. Calling that investment feels delusional in my view.  Your colleague was just trying to justify his betting by giving it a fancy name. But deep down, he knows the difference. One is about building, the other is about betting. And they are clearly not the same thing.

Investing and gambling are separately two different things although they have their own similarities, we know how the market works and how we're able to ensure we're not leaving any stone unturn. Gambling can never be referred or appeared to be investment because we know the routes to follow if we're keen to gamble and also making investments, we don't just get up on a random good day and invest, we take our time to thoroughly check the projects, make our deep research about the market because we wouldn't afford to make any mistakes in the market. But for gambling, we can wake up one morning and try what we called LUCK which is very crucial in the gambling space, we know ourselves and know what we can bring to the table with gambling.

The end result of everything is to earn significant profits, I know it's been really challenging but we don't have a choice, we just have to stay lock-in because our goals is imperative for our very existence, that's how we grow. Investment requires more strategies and executing plans immediately because it's all about timing while gambling is just matter of odds, to boost your leverage of winning.

No way. If you are a player, no. If you are the owner, then yes. As simple as that. Gambling has never been a form of investment and never will be if you are just a player. Either your friend is joking or just naive. Gambling and investment, although both require you to risk money to earn a profit and both can go wrong or right, are still two different things. They're not even in the same league. In gambling or sports betting, even if you are skilled, if you are unlucky, you won't see any return.

Instead of arguing, just challenge your friend. Give each of you $100 as a starting fund, then after 1 week, see who makes more profit, who loses it faster, or who still has funds left.
