Investment Vs Gambling

Merry Christmas to All! May this Christmas become the period of Happy Investing for you :-)

As already we came to know about Investment in the previous posts, we will discuss directly here about Gambling.

Gambling

Gambling involves taking risk without demanding compensation in the form of increased expected return. Examples of Gambling are horse riding, game of cards, lottery etc;

Characteristics of Gamblers
1. Gambler never stops while winning
2. Gambler displays
persistent optimism without winning
3. Gambler seeks and enjoys a strange thrill from gambling, a combination of pleasure and pain
4. Gambler eventually risks more than he or she can afford
5. Gambling is a typical, chronic and repetitive experience
6. Gambling absorbs all other interests

Some Gamblers unconsciously want to lose and they transform pain into pleasure. Some others consciously make fortunes through gambling and the possibility of earning real money by normal work is greatly restricted, if not totally.
