Let me ask you something, I’d like to know how you treat the money you use for gambling. Do you consider it an expense or an investment? These two should be approached very differently. Just like in business, expenses don’t generate income, while investments are meant to grow. What do you think? Please explain your answer as well.

It’s always an expenses since gambling is a source of entertainment not a financial tool so there’s no way it can be considered as investment or else this is a very risky investment that can be considered as meme coin investment and so on.

Gambling games has a house edge that is high enough to make players successful in the long run.

Investment gives you flexibility and fixed profit with less risk while gambling is purely based on luck which means there’s no certainty that you will actually have profit.



The house edge in gambling is the main reason why I will always treat gambling to be an expense and wether you win or not..This is my Mental construction of it.. you can't make profit from gambling at the long run so even if you are winning it would still be a big expense to you...only a desperate gambler would see gambling as an investment,  a responsible gambler can't think like that.
