All gamblers play to win.

Think about it this way: if you buy a slot machine to put in your store/bar/etc, are you gambling or investing ? - it's clearly a game of chance, and you might lose money on it, however because the odds are set in your favour in the long term you'll make money. Hence it's an investment rather than gambling.

You do actually get angel investors who invest in poker players with solid track records.
