In my view, people do gambling for entertainment only. However, some lenders invest their money in letting the gamblers borrow some money from them. Then, they are going to impose certain percentage as the interest for the borrowed money.

I have never gone into gambling before though, but i personally do not consider gambling as an investment. Gambling is mainly by luck and there is no guarantee you would even earn from it.

Well there are some people that do invest in gambling businesses and some take gambling as an investment as they do make good fortunes from it meaning that they do get lucky with their predictions and win good money from he one they used to stake in the game they are betting on, be it casino, sports betting or animal race.

I do not consider gambling as an investment. Gambling mainly depends on luck. Investments requires research and strategy. I think gambling occasionally for fun is okay. But if you are addicted to gambling, you are taking the risk of ruining your life.

Well same here I do not consider gambling as an investment honestly speaking but those who own the gambling shops, the gambling organisation to them it is an investment that they've made and some people that play gamble, that play the game they believe it is also an investment but to me it is never and we will never be an investment it's just a game which can be addictive and lead one to poverty or riches.

No, gambling should not be considered as an investment as it is based primarily on chance and luck, while investing involves careful analysis and research to make informed decisions. Gambling is inherently risky, with the odds often stacked against the player.

I don't see it as an investment because it's purely a risk and we are playing on our luck and not skills based so it can never be considered as investment

Gambling is not an investment because you're not sure if you will get profit with it whereas when you do an investment there are 90% surety that there will be a profit.

Well, there are some people who consider gambling as some sort of investment but i do not. I see gambling as some sort of entertainment which can be very addictive.

I would put gambling alongside playing the lottery. I wouldn't really call these things an investment, though I do know some people that have done pretty well in sports betting.

I personally don't gamble anymore but I want to see from people who make money from it
of course not, gambling is a game of chances and luck. and from what i know some casinos let you win when you first started and then eventually will just keep on making you lose until they get their money back or even more.

i applause you for quitting gambling. i dont advise it at all to anyone as it will only make you addicted to it and ruin your life.
