Using gambling winnings to investing business that will be yield profits is a good way to use money to find money. We need to keep our money into action if we actually want to be making simple bets while we keep creating different investment opportunities for people around to work with us ....
making a business or reinvesting the gambling winnings is a wise and most correct thing to do; in that way one can expect continuous profit from it which can then be used again, whether for their needs or their gambling again. this method is better to do than just using their gambling winnings for consumptive things which can spend all the money they get.
It does sound like a good idea to invest your gambling proceeds in a business but the thing i always think about this is first how much is the amount won and then the sustainability of the business is another key and prime factor that you have to put to consideration while thinking of investing the gambling proceed in a business because after the investment, if its not profitable enough, you may still have to fallback to gambling which is something that may not be a good and healthy practice because at that point you may become desperate and may turn out an addict.
Indeed, if you can't deal with how you plan your alternate option then the chance of going back is possible, else, you've got a good plan ahead after winning such decent amount, and your focus is no longer into gambling but to make sure that the business you put up will be your priority, then the chance that you'll be able to make something good out from your gambling is not by far.
It's more on how you make that plans and how you put your time and efforts to divert your attention and make a good success.
