No trading is like gambling because we have more better chance to make money with trading but gambling have pretty low chance there, that is why I am pretty sure with gambling very hard to some profit.

Trading is also gambling even they are different activity. You can say trading is like sports betting you have to study first the team that you are going to bet before betting , in trading you have to study first the coins before investing money from it. Trading is just another platform but it is still gambling because there is still money involve and you are still risking money in it.
No friend then you have actually not understood gambling and trading yet, with sports betting no matter how much study you do on a player but there will odds according to his ability and chances of loosing, suppose he has a 90% edge over his opponent then you will just get 1.1 odds and hence low profit and you are expected to loose 1 in 10 times and hence again in loss.

If you will also take into consideration that there are two kinds of gamblers. There are gambler that uses his skills and the other one relies on his luck so basically we can say that if you are gambling you are just randomly picking your bets as that belongs to a gambler who relies on his luck.

A skilled and experience gambler has a chance to be successful because he studies gambling and improve his method although it's hard to win.
The problem is that even with skills based games you are risking your ability against the opponent and this requires luck, since your opponent can be stronger while weaker also. While with trading after a certain time you will be able to make profits without any risk ( yes risk, but that is really negligible as compared with gambling risks ).

Trading without any knowledge is betting on your luck so that makes it not much difference from gambling as you dont have control over the results. However, if you do your research and trade with high chance of success, you can gain easily.

This is very unusual that a person is going to enter trading without knowledge but we can't deny that there are some incidents that are happening that way. Trading is really a gambling because of the risk you are going to take as you gamble then that is going to be a hard way to get some assured profit and investments are risky as gamble is.

In most gambling activities (except poker, betting) players don't have any control over the outcome or can only make decisions that will minimize their loss, since the house edge is always there. In trading it all depends on your analytical skills, hence why it's a real profession and millions of traders are employed be companies all over the world.
sometimes trading are feel like gambling , but not really frequently. that's why maybe people considering trading as gambling. but it wouldn't be a benchmark that trading are equal to gambling , there is a lot of things make both trading and gambling different and you should consider it too.
Yes both are different. In trading we need more knowledge but in gambling if you don't have knowledge also you can play. But in trading you can expect some profit. It will work out . In gambling the profit is depend on luck. if you have luck you will make money. So here no guarantee for your investment. My choice is Trading.

No, i do not. Trading is never the same as gambling although many people have said that it is. Trading requires a lot of experience and skill which can help you to earn the profit. And you also need a tutor to guide you, help you and explain how trading work.
Having a tutor is great but most people are not going to be able to find one, what are they supposed to do? Give up trading? No they will have to learn on their own that is a lot more difficult but it is possible to do it.

I can consider that trading is also gambling in the way that you are taking a risk and every type of investments are just like gambling and you must be able to accept that fact that you need to take it.

 And if you don't want to take a risk in trading then you must stop gambling too, because if you are going to keep on gambling, you can just trade easily.

This is wrong perspektif. trading can be a gambling if you do it without any plan or analysist, just random buy/sell. but otherwise, it's a dignified profession.

if you think trading as gambling why people on wall streets risking their life with gamble.
Correct there are only a handful of gamblers that do something similar like successful poker players and sports bettors  but if you really want to make money then trading is the way to go, after all when you think on wall street I’m pretty sure the first thing that comes to mind is wealth.

it is not unusual when it comes to trading altcoins and bitcoin because the exchange sites are allowing people to start trading with a small amount. and this very simple difference makes it so that many people enter trading market without any knowledge and thinking they can become rich with it.

That is certainly true, but trading is not gambling that exists in the world. Trading is a more profitable than having to do a gambling, as in trading if claimed to always update and perform predictions at all times and also all the advantages that we get too much more than lost (if they know the science of trading). so trading is not gambling in General, if you want to make a profit then it should study the science of trading

As my experienced right now we need to take the risk like we are in gambling we need to play with our money if we can't really afford to lose then how we can earned? From trading or in gambling we need to have an good skills when it comes in to this to gambling is good source income of money but much safer in trading to exchangebitcoin into altcoin and then make some good profits.

Loosing bitcoin or money in trading is like taking the big risk like in gambling offcourse you need to lose money before you are going to make some good profit too. But if you are going to not to take the risk then you can't really earn from the gambling or trading i trade for my own risk and if i lose then that's okay loosing is part of all activities on this internet world.

I would rather choose gambling if I will not study how to trade. In gambling, there's more chance I can win big amount compared to trading that you can only hit a certain percentage of your profit when you are lucky. I can bet in sports betting (parlays) if I like big income and I can use my luck to get that goal.

its true, make trading without make any analyze for coins is only risking your money and you can loss in a second. but to prevent this, you can make small analyze before you buy any coins. and trading is not the same as gambling which can loss all of our money because in trading if we get loss on our coins, then we can wait for a while to see the price is back on high price and then we can sell it to get profit for that coins.

A skilled and experience gambler has a chance to be successful because he studies gambling and improve his method although it's hard to win.
But your experience has nothing to do with your fortune moments. Only if you are extremely lucky and you may have some lucky times then you will be able to crack profits. So, your studies and strategies has nothing to do for profit making in gambling. Whereas trading requires studies and strategies so experience also. Trading has lot of differences from gambling never consider trading as gambling.

Agree, Trading requires studies and strategies instead of gambling, and in gambling it requires only Luck, no experience and no strategy, only letter bit skills require but only a few games of gambling, but still luck you need it in gambling. Secondly, trading is also risky and same like gambling but it mustily depend on your skills and knowledge than your profit is depend on your luck.
Luck is just the next option and what is you focus in order to be successful in trading is you need to study and learn from your mistakes, improving your method right that would give you chance to prosper. Most traders who are successful have a hard journey but they work hard to reach that level of success.

Trading career  is  not  easy as it sounds  and  same as  you said  you will need   to learn more things  about trading  and  such  experience  in able to sustain  and   persist  the   difficulties on  doing trading  because  it would surely pays  off  when you already got  the  techniques and  ideas  of  it. Trading does  also  have  the risk  like  on gambling because both fields do have  risk  on  lossing  up your  money  but  in trading it has  properties  that differentiates  it  from gambling.

What you said is true, if anyone trade without any knowledge then it will be almost same as gambling. Even in wall street, many experienced traders lost money in trading so one should be very careful and watchful on prices if you're doing trading. Don't be too greedy and try to book your profits now and then to avoid sudden surprises.
It is in a way. Though the risk ia much lesser since you make calculated risks, you can still lose money over trading. And even experienced traders would agree that not all predictions would be fulfilled all theb time.

the difference between wallstreet or in general all the other big trading markets is that you can't enter them with a small amount and they will swallow you alive the first moment you set foot in those markets.

but when it comes to trading bitcoin and specially altcoins, things become a lot different. you can start trading with a very small amount which both a good and a bad thing. it is good because it lets you learn while not risking much and it is bad since it allows anybody to enter and newbies lose because they are sometimes fooled this way.
