Topic: Do you consider trading as gambling? - page 41. (Read 47337 times)
I do consider trading as gambling. What is the definition of gambling at first need to know that. A attempt in gambling either will bring you some profit or loss. Trading where you get data and make analysis and then based on that you do a move to put some money in something. You think this is good thing to get profit sometimes you make or other times loose. Even experienced traders can not avoid losses as it is not in your hands to control the market. They work the same way in my point of view.
Yes im always deposing huge money from bitcoin trading sites nor gambling websites where i always lsoe money because of wrong moves in trading sites i always buy some coins that are really cheap and i could never use that for trading so idesided to resell it into much more lower price trading is like a gambling when you do wrong moves it can take away your money.
As my investigation right now or based on my experience this past few weeks i considered that all activities like uhm trading , gambling , and investing are needs to take risk, Because of your are not going to take those risk you can't able to grow your bitcoins , You need to take those high risk sometimes if you really want to grow your bitcoin i considered that trading as gambling too where we could lose money there but it can be minimize because we can sell it for the half price.
well if you are not hurrying up you can still wait for the price rebound unlike in gambling after losing your money you need to place bet again, while in trading if you are supporting good quality project there's always possibility to regain your loses.Yes, trading is more like that if we have good patience and can hold for long time than nothing can be good than this, because it all depend on this in which project we are involved and what is the potential behind this, I am pretty sure trading will be very profitable if we keep things in mind.

no i do not consider trading as gambling there is a big difference between the two, trading is a little safer that gambling, trading always give you a chance of recovery, while gambling do not give you any chance of recovery.
But trading is still a zero sum game, meaning that someone's profit is another man's loss. So it's not safer than gambling by default, in fact you need a lot of experience and knowledge and even some talent to be able to trade successfully.

I never tried trading nor gambling so i dont have any idea to share what the difference between that too but hoping soon i will make my first move to do trading and gambling i already read those gambling website where i can start playing it and the mechanics are really looks good and in trading im going to ask my friend who are trader since 2014 i think he got some ideas to share with me hope so.
Well, since you have no idea you are suppose not to participate on the discussion because you are off topic, but in any you have a relative discussion somehow, my suggestion to you is that you should try both so you will know the difference and you will become a certified risk taker.He might be off topic but the thought regarding to the topic does connects which somehow understandable. You should try those things so that you would not be so innocent in this world. lol. Trading and gambling are common things here, if you dont know those things then, where are you after all this time?

to me gambling is some thing different from trading, trading is less risky than gambling, gambling is totally a game of luck while in trading you must have good knowledge about the product and must have good trading skill.
I do not think its less more risky because in my eyes it stays almost even risky to do, gambling is very risky if you are asking me, it has maybe some more options so maybe a little less more risky but its stays almost the same in my eyes..
But you understood wrongly because gambling is not for making money and just to have a fun so there is not point that it is risky unless you use gambling to make a profit then it is very risky. If you have some skills and go for long trades then it is more safer to make a money from trading. Both are different if you use it correctly.
Having enough bankroll would be the one of the most important thing when you intend to gamble because you could easily adjust the amount of bet and desired amount of possible winning outcomes. The more you risk the more you profit but still dont forget that you would also lose that amount. Trading is also called gambling in terms of money oyu risk but you could somehow lessen the risk if you trade smartly.

Yes, I'd say the two are the same, and especially altcoin trading. That is about as risky an *investment* class as you can get. Gaining or losing is just about the same as rolling the dice, and probably you have worse odds. Trading other things like stocks and bonds, maybe not. People do that for a living on Wall Street, and you don't necessarily have to have a gambling mentality. It's a gray area for sure.
But OP, you said you're a gambler. If that's the case, the most salient aspect of this argument is how you're going to approach trading, which is likely the way a gambler would. So for you, they're going to be the same thing.

Yes I do, but both have their own limitations and boundaries set and goals in each category are different as compared to each other...
Under some circumstances, trading might let you get out without losing everything but in gambling, you may not get that chance...

In my own opinion although both have some level of risk attached, but they are not the same. In the case of gambling the element of skill is of limited importance which makes the risk of losing so high compared to winning and sometimes it could be as much as 95:5% but trading on the otherhand gives room for skill which will reduce the risk of losing to a minimal level which does not amount to eradication...

I agree that sports betting, poker and blackjack are skill base games; I don't know why they consider it is gambling games:D. It is not only dice that strategy won't work, but there is also this roulette, scratch games, lotto games, and scratch. These games are all luck base games others called it chance games.
Even with skill based games and gambling, you still need your luck favors you in order to have more chances to win some profits. Similarly, in trading also we need our luck to favor us so that we get right timing to open position and book profits.But, overall I never consider trading as gambling because trading is not that much fully dependent on luck factor.
Yes, trading can be considered gambling as both need luck because markets may go against us and during that situation, we cannot do anything. The only advantage we get here is we are able to cut the losses by getting out earlier, while in gambling, once it goes, it never comes back.
True trading can be considered as gambling too where both need to waste money and risk money you cant say that you dont need to waste money there you need luck and you will know what to doWell, if you trade without reading anything or doing some research then that is definitely gambling, since you are just putting your money on the table and hoping for the best.
It's even worth than gambling, because in casino you know the odds of each bet, but in blind trading you have no idea what's going on, you can't say that chance of price of going up or down is 50%.
