We know that day trading or short time trading is like playing with wild fire, not may can handle it. That's y most player's end up in loss and very few are successful day traders.
doing day trade is not an easy task, I speak from my own experience because I am an amateur daytrade (because I still don't have years of experience) but you can't compare daytrade to gamble
See the following:
if you have $1000 and do bitcoin day trade you should do day trade with $1000 if you want to make a decent profit (if you want to have 1% profit per day. and note that there will be days when you will not be able to earn anything), but you have the advantages of stop-loss to avoid losing big ones. I would say that you will take little risk if you know what you are doing
But if you have $1000 to place a sports bet (if you bet on football games), you will not put your entire bankroll of $1000 betting on a game even if you believe it is an easy game to win, you will bet $100 and if you win you will have $150 depending on the odd of the game you bet, but if you lose in the game then you will lose $100 and on the day trade with Stop - Loss you will not lose $100
By that I mean that gamble has more risks in relation to day trade, but you can earn a lot of money fast in relation to day trade
Are there gamblers here who are in profit overall?
I play for fun, so the profit is always used to bet more games, sometimes I withdraw
