For me, they are quite different from each other, though. In gambling, you usually need the luck to win a game while trading does not require this element. As you can see, you can not predict what will happen. But in trading, you can analyze chart and news in order to make a good decision, to buy or to sell currency at a time.

You also need luck in trading, but it is not very important thing which can make a significant impact to your trading career If you will just some up that profit in gambling is even slower, because the cycle goes on that you will earn big amount of bitcoins and afterwards the house edge is able to recover your winnings by every little single lose that you are making. I am just taking trading as both as gambling because it is a type of investment and all of them are risky.
I do not consider same because their different ways of losing in the sense that in gambling the chances of me losing is higher which could also be unfair, even after the "provably fair" slogan and I could not verify or I'm not even sure of that unlike trading when I lose, then I know I'm not the only in the box and I can even win back my losses overnight unlike gambling...
Well in both you are playing against others, being just a casino script or whales, as you are putting your coins into a risk i would consider the same, even knowing a small difference between, that is be able to control the loss or winnings when you risking to gamble.
I do agree that gambling is only for fun and not for making money because end results only depend on luck. But if you have knowledge of trading and ready to go for long then one got a better chance of making profits in trading. But don't go for trading if you don't have a knowledge of it because it will be same as gambling

Lets go through a quick comparison :
Gambling :
1. You have no hold on what happen .
2. You spend money and you do not know whether it is going to be a complete loss or not.
3. Gambling depends on luck mostly.
Trading :
1. You have aome sort of hold and a big hold if you are trading individually.
2. You spend money and if you use an escrow you are damn safe if doing it individually. If doing it on exchangers or escrow websites you still have better chances and time to decide what to do.
3. Needs a mixture of luck and decisions made but more percentage is of the decisions you've made.
1. what is the 'hold' and how trading individually will have it in big ?Gambling :

2. The trading and exchanging are literally same but has big differences in real life and needs to be used these terms accordingly. Escrows are applicable only for exchanging.
3. This is the right differences between trading and gambling. A trading may turn as gambling but vice versa is not possible.
Just like what I said here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15453353
Trading is one example of gambling. Why?
Because gambling is basically putting your money to risk.
You may lose your money if you did not predicted nicely.
This might be the reason of approaching your trading to test your luck. You need to have some skills to make profits from trading. Other wise, you will end up in finding your trading similar to gambling. I am not ready to accept trading as gambling.Trading is one example of gambling. Why?

Well if you put all your money into trading and then think that rising bitcoin prices will help you get huge profits then you may consider the trade as a gamble - something very popular in the stock market.
In other words gamble is more risky and trading is about luck for sure but along with it comes analysis and proper understanding of the market, along with probability of the market to rise or crash based on the panicky-huge-volume traders who are easily influenced by the common FUD schemes that we see on the forums and social media.

Gambling:
1. In poker and sports betting, if you have experience, you can control what happens.
2. again it all depends on skills and experience. (I'm not talking about slot machines or similar ..)
3. Partial - when you play slots, blackjack or other "lottery"
Commercial:
1/2. It all depends on what you trade. The main traded on this forum are altcoins - is a high risk trade, so even if you are experienced, you always will be dependent on luck.
3. It will primarily depend on luck, because even very professional analyses not help against teams pump and dump or whales that manipulate prices.
Other thing is when you trade currencies (USD, EUR) or gold, oil.
Hey people,
I've always been a huge gambler. I like creating useless schemes (as we all know bank always win ^^) and betting whole nights long in order to find THE right way of betting.
But I need change, I can't bet over and over on the same game cause after I see that nothing can be done to change the odds, I'm bored.
So I thought a bit about trading and I started not so long ago. and it feels a bit like a betting game without knowing the odds and with an infinity of parameters!
Does anyone else takes trading as a gambling game?

I consider trading as a gambling because you are risking money also in trading, You can win or you can lose like in gambling. Trading will take time to win. In gambling you can win or you can lose instant. I like doing trading than playing other gambling games because trading is a bit easy if you know what you really are doing. I already profited a lot from trading alt coins to bitcoins than gambling like poker and dice.
Altcoin trading or Bitcoin trading is the right choice to compare gambling. In both methods, we will put our money at risk, and in Trading the profit percentage is less but if we do trade with the right person or company I am sure we will make a profit. The gambling is not like that it is fully different it's all depends on our luck.

You can consider it as gambling in my eyes because it has some mayor risks and that is with gambling and trading the same so, yes I think it can be considered as gambling but I must say that the profit is very attractable.
If you go for trading without any knowledge of trading then surely it is same as gambling because you will by trading just by guessing price may go up or down and results only depend only on luck. But if you have knowledge and can go for long trade then it is a different story, and you can make some good profit from trading. As per me both are not same if you manage it properly.
