The main arguement should boil down to what constitutes ‘gambling’. if you invest your money without a guarantee of getting a return or even your original investment back then I would class this as gambling. This is the situation for many types of investment in the stock market.
Ok, but then insurance, any prepayments etc etc would constitute gambling. I wont contradict that you actually can consider this as gambling in some wird way, but then the definition of gambling is useless in relation to your inital suggestion.
Let’s agree on getting up in the morning is a gamble :hattip:
