People's reasoning regarding this is that gambling produces faster turnaround time for results, whereas in investments, it's trickling down for a long time before you can reap something. Most people who go the route of gambling to make money wants instant result, even though that's not possible most of the time due to the element of luck and chances involved. With investments, you are slowly building something, but at least it's being build and don't have a huge possibility of being destroyed any time soon.

A matter of preference right? Many people are aware of different investment ideas but why are not all people into it? One reason is risk then there comes gambling wherein risk is more present. These two are different with concept but are similar with some properties and one is risk involvement. Now, as we all know, gambling is a more risky engagement to deal with in comparison to investments. Why are people still choosing gambling over investment? Aside from preference, I think another factor is the thrilling experience wherein it is more active with gambling. Both are profitable but gambling is only dependent with one's luck unlike with investments wherein data are helpful to create or draw a conclusion. Not because you saved the amount which is expected to be lost in gambling, it would automatically be considered that investment is a better option. You can also manage the amount you are dealing with gambling if it is just the experience you are seeking of.
