Is gambling also referred as investment?

[Youngrebel]

No.
You can totally expect profit from gambling. Nobody's stopping you . Isn't that exactly why we gamble in the first place? lol

Expectations, odds or outcome aren't what separates the two, either. People can get lucky and make money gambling, just as other lose money investing. That's not what defines the difference, though.

What separates them is what your money actually goes into. Investing means putting a resource that has real value to use. Gambling is to risk an event or game, and hoping it will turn out the way you expect.

Winning bet does not turn gambling into investing, just as losing money doesn't turn a investment into gambling.

I agree your explanation to some extent, but I think there is another direction that also need to be considered. The difference between gambling and investing is not just about where the money goes, but also the  value, risk and how the returns are generated, for example investing, you are putting money into an asset or business that can generate value over time, whether through profits, or any other means while gambling, on the other hand, generally depends on predicting what you are not sure of and dont know how the end will be it’s just like a guessing think based of past performance, and where the money won by one person will have to come from another person loss, minus those controlling the platform tho am not saying every all investment is automatically productive or successful or different from gambling, some of this online investment platform are almost similar to gambling, most especially when you enter positions without understanding the asset.
So the main thing is not whether someone makes or loses money but it is of the  capital is can be traced to an asset with a good value and a reasonable platform.

Um, no.  If somebody is saying this, either they are trying to get you to gamble or they are trying to justify their gambling.  Oh, and buying meme coins/tokens aren't an investment either but is rather gambling as they have no utility.  However, one has been used to buy access to a president, IYKYK.

Exactly, it think gambling should be more related to trading and not investing. When you invest it like you planting something for the future, but gambling is more of a thing that happens in a short period of time, just like trading.

When you invest, you should invest in things that have a good history or a clear roadmap to where they will be in the coming future. Invest in stocks, buy shares from good companies and even invest in bitcoin. When you invest In things like this, you have a good tendency of having a good return in the future.

Gambling is not to be compared to investing. It not just the same thing.

Is he right from what you think?

Either he is new to gambling or he does not understand gambling and is addicted to gambling, moreover, an experienced gambler cannot present such a thing. Gambling and investment are never the same thing, you can understand this yourself because investment is keeping your wealth with you or buying bitcoins and if you keep it with you for a long time, it will give you benefits. Once you lose, you will not get the second chance to get your money back.
There is no possibility of getting your money back, how can the meaning of investment and MA gambling be the same, if you gamble to earn money, then you will definitely lose money and that person will lose all his wealth at the last moment.

No matter how people are trying to package it gambling and investments are never and can never be the same, like you have said you are to buy Bitcoin, or stock, even gold, even if the price just drop a little bit you are still in control of your assets, if possible you could even wait till 10 years from now till then and it can recover and you your benefits, and that what we call a second chance….

While as for gambling once you lose the sake it gone, it s just simple and easy way to lose money, you lose and there is no asset remaining, the money turns zero and you never get a second chance, which the only to recover if you are lucky it to start all over again and it a strategy to lose wealth…

Like the best way to Investment risk is managed with time and knowledge, and as for gambling risk is designed so house always wins over time and there is nothing that can be managed about it..
