Can you consider gambling as an investment ?

[AruneBend]

No because you don't need anything only money if you want to gamble it's very addictive I gamble sometimes because it's fun but I don't have any urges to gamble more

Gambling comes with very bad urge. it gives one the urge to borrow some money to play. it is that addictive that even when you lose money you would repeat it again

Contrary to what most people say about the gambling is that, there are working strategies that some few individuals might be using to find their fortunes with it. That's why in my country there are people that make their livelihoods through sports betting

I do not consider gambling as an investment unless you are talking about starting a casino. Gambling is mostly about luck. Making investment requires knowledge. You need to do proper research on the stock or company you plan to invest in.

Those who can make successful investment in the gambling industries are really smart and they have what it takes to be successful with that. However Most people wouldn't be lucky in that venture

If you want to gamble yourself, I don't think so. This is not an income and investment method. But if you want to establish your own casino, yes it is a safe source of income and a profitable investment

 

[Pousinha]

Definitively not. Gambling isn't investment at all. We must remember the dear old saying the dealer wins. We must remember gambling and investments face two completely different natures and completely different purposes. Gambling merely focus on simply luck (that is fairly inexistent) and its purpose is to enrich the cassino's owner, while investment focus on studying of the market and finances world and its purpose is to increase one's value of money.

I think those that can make this one a killing are the ones that they are really knowing what they do. I know of people that have like a couple of appartments in my area which they acquired them through the gambling venture
