Can we say betting is an investment or Business

[Halexcity]

As for me gambling is gambling there is nothing like investment in business because it is strictly 50/50 once you loose you loose and once you win you win. In business there at least you will still see more profits while the business I'd LA not going well.

Football betting is not an investment neither is it a business, football betting is gambling in which you only have a slim chance of winning and 90percent chances of loosing all your money, in investment you are sure you will get your money back but in betting , nothing is guaranteed

 

[Nicklas22]

Football betting is a very good investment while the people who owns betting store are called business man or woman
You can lose or gain in investment this how how betting is
You lose or win

If you are buying some of the betting company shares then congratulations you are a winner but if you are just going about stalking randomly on some odds that might never be won then I'm sorry you might be a big loser... Betting ought to be taken as a game not a business or an investment.

Best comment I'm read today. As regards gambling, it's never and will never be an investment except you buy shares with the bookies or bet company. Buy randomly staking on events to win funds is not an investment

Betting is a time-bound phenomenon, while an investment in a corporation will last for many years. With gambling, once the game or race or hand is over, your chance to make a profit from your wager has come and gone. Either you have won or you have lost your capital. Stock investing, on the other hand, could be time-rewarding.

betting is never an investment and it has to do with luck,you are not investing in any way there are some people that have been into betting for a long time and it never yield while we have some that have only tried betting with little effort and it turned out positive

Just as someone mentioned above that it can be seen as an investment, not in the gambling part of it. I support this opinion too. There is a part of it called arbitrage. You win no matter the outcome. The only set back is the huge capital involved in running it. That is my take on this.

For most people, even those who choose not to participate in sports betting, the notion that one can bet on sports shouldn't be that foreign. With that said, the idea that investors can now bet on sports betting is relatively new, especially for US-based investors

Betting is no investment or business owning a betting shop or platform is actually the investment.
Investment goes with certainty unlike betting there is no certainty, you cannot control its operation and people do end up at the loosing end.

Can betting be regarded as a business or investment. I have seen people who are addicted to betting, they lose some while they win some just like doing business and investment. So can we say betting is an investment

To me betting is a form of gambling to make money,and it is either you gain more money or you loose your money in the process of betting.
So,I don't see it as a form of business or investment ,as see it as a game of luck ,which is gaining or loosing.

I think betting can be seen as both investment and gambling it depends on how you operate managed the account. I have seen a lot of people who have used betting company as a main source of income for themself. I think it can be used as both.

You can describe something that was designed to rip off the little you have on you as an investment, this is a game of chance and remember, the house always win. I will always advice that you stay away from any form of gambling.

Betting is a big business for those who can invest in it, as you will need to invest a sum in forecasting and staking, making profit at times might only lead to losing some invested amount and to regain it might take some time and requires another amount of investment, which could first produce a profit and then make up for the lostday previous fun, I would say, it is not a sure and mind resting business.

As for me we can say betting is investment and it's also business but if am going to pick between the two I will rather says it's investment because you using your money to do investment until you ready to withdraw the interest on the investment that's what nettings are too me

 

[zenith]

It depends on individuals,some will see it as business while some as an investment.to me I see it as an investment.some people are making the mistake of accumulating many games in one slip and are expecting the games to be successful that one cannot be regarded as investment but a gambling.

Can betting be regarded as a business or investment. I have seen people who are addicted to betting, they lose some while they win some just like doing business and investment. So can we say betting is an investment

Betting is not an investment because it is not a stuff to expect any profits or gain there. If it were to even be called a business, it will be called a get rich quick scheme, ponzi scheme... Because you can profit and you can also lose your entire life savings over night. So betting is never an investment.

 

[Chumzy]

A business requires your physical presence and running of it with focus. An investment on the other hand is your business working for you to bring interest. Betting doesn't fall into any of the above definition and it is just a hope on luck.

 

[Sheyemanu]

Concerning if betting is an investment or not, I am of the personal opinion that it is not at all. This is not a business and neither investment. It is gambling only. In gambling you lose everything in one minute and get to win or get everything in a minute too. So it is full of Risk so we can not say it is investment or Business. It is just pure gambling

 

[Ojueromi]

Gambling is a time-bound event, whilst an funding in a corporation can closing several years. With gambling, once the recreation or race or hand is over, your opportunity to income from your wager has come and gone. You both have received or misplaced your capital. Stock investing, on the other hand, can be time-rewarding

 

[Mastercoded]

Betting can never be an investment. The modus oparadi of bet is to stake your money to double the amount or higher, which you have a probability of 0.001% out of 100%, which only translates that there is always a higher chance of you loosing your money. We also have the addiction spirit which build inside the individual and this lead he/she to borrow or to steal to keep on playing, some people are left with nothing and end up taking their life at the end
