Maybe for the fun and thrills?
You got me there: I like (or used) to gamble also and the thrills and the fun of (Bitcoin) gambling is still...unbeaten.
But for any other reason like doubling, trippling...or even 10x winning back your investment/stake...why would you still want to gamble that?
The chances/odds are bigger that you will loose them gambling...while the chances/odds are the same (probably bigger) that you would increase them while investing.
Gambling on casinos has given users a completely different experience over just investing in something and waiting for the money to grow. You might say that the house always wins but there are those who have made even x100 on a single roll and instantly cashed out. Yeah it might be all luck but still a huge win.
Besides that, Investing in casino need a lot of time and analysis compared to gambling in the casino. Casino gambling is a fast phase game that's why many gamblers still choose Casino because it is a source of entertainment and not only for profit. Anyway, Investing is just a theoretical gambling but it is not the word gambling that OP is describing. He is comparing two completely different matter at the time.
