Topic: How is trading *not* gambling? - page 14. (Read 23376 times)
It's not the same, even thou it looks like that and feels like that in many moment's. I understand why people think of them the same, people mostly relay on luck in trading and gambling, and for them there is nothing more then that. Like a passionate gambler I think everything is a gamble, but games are different and that is what make the difference, and each game have a different approach, different rules.
How different is trading from just gambling? I know there seems to be a big difference with technical analysis and whatnot, but in the end aren't you just betting on something completely random?
You are right! Trading is also gambling but the nature is completely different here. Trading is probably the only one type of gambling which is legal across the world. But gambling in its true sense, is legal in few countries. However, in trading, people take calculated risk and in gambling, you bet for your fate. Otherwise, you giveaway your money to the gambling website owner.
With my long trading experience I can vouch for trading. I started with a very little amount earned from signature campaign and now I have enough money to sustain my self for another 3 months without a job. So if you can play it right in trading, you will be rewarded suitably, unlike gambling!
Trading is not similar to Gambling, though both are intended to acquire financial gains. But trading is where, you decide with you knowledge when to buy and sell, but gambling is kind of upon luck to some extent. Trading on commodities and stock market can be performed even with minimal risk if the person knows about the market and the movements.
I like some binary options trading a lot! I am learning it currently, I am only a beginner. I have to admit that it is really kinda gambling, but anyway it is very fun and you can really make some nice money from it
Damn man you are here actually gambling and it's not at all called as trading. You will win initially and at the end you will regret why you started that way, actually those binary options is a good thing to trade but without a big house edge which i am sure no sites provides 
And to date till now there has been no one so good at trading via binary options that they can overcome big edge like 10-15%
Trading is different than Gambling because they're based on the real business, real people , real coin, that you should have information before you doing trade.
Gambling is just invest on a percent that can give you back the reward, the profit. Anything can happen.

Major difference between gambling and trading:
Gambling is always a risk seeking activity, no matter what you are playing against negative odds, it is either win or lose type of game.
Trading however might be considered as risk aversion method of earning money, you have mechanisms which will help you to minimize your loses (to certain degree).

They differ with various reasons. Gambling is a game which composes of player ans house edge. The probability of winning in there is in the house edge's favor. Trading is the word itself which means traders do trading with other currencies which are escrowed by trading site. Trading's risk depends on the market movement, while gambling's risk depends on the bankroll's stats.Correct, gambling is competely based on the person luck only but when we do trading is all depends on your security concerned activities and price change. Always use to do a trade with the help of escrow to avoid failed trade. Price chart we cannot do anything for that we simply have to plan accordingly and move with it.
Well, have a trading system that is completely different from gambling. you can control what you seek income from trading. basically trading is simply buying and selling. it is just like buying gold, and wait for the price to be rising. whereas gambling is a game that risked valuable objects.
Yeah ,a simple explanation and yet its so easy to understand the basic difference of two for those who doesn't know . I'll only add the thing about trading as not as easy as buying and selling we need to learn a lot and experience some losses for us to earn ,unlike gambling that luck is only needed no particular stratedgy ofcourse if you will play a gambling game you know even a little how to play that game .So both will take apart but the big difference is how it works and how you will analyze which you will do .There is nothing like great gambler in gambling as every time you will depend only on luck for winning and there is no room for improvement and you will never have control on your outcomes but in trading you will have control on your funds and your actions will decide your results.
No I do not think that the script of these gambling sites control the game these are fair games and the scripts are designed to continue the game fair for both the parties. It all depend on your experience in that particular game if you will spend some time in gambling then a time will come when you will be able to predict the games.

Gambling and trading is different from each other, gambling is for entertaining and making money is not sure because without pure luck you can't get money to win. And in trading it is for investment or busines. Gambling and trading have the same money involve and with decision making to make better results. Trading uses a plan or strategies, in our bitcoin market you can encounter that sometimes the exchanges between bitcoin and dollar increase and sometimes decrease. And with use of bitcoin you can play gamble online.How different is trading from just gambling?

It's not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for
If you're a millionaire by the time you're 30, but blow it all by age 40, you've gained nothing. Grow and protect your investment portfolio by carefully diversifying it, and you may find yourself funding many generations to come.

certainly there is a big difference between gambling with trades. I think a trade is a job that requires 80% accurate analysis, so we need a high precision. while gambling is a game that relies on luck, for me 80% of luck is needed to win a gambling game. concluded the gambling and trading are different things.
I can agree with your skill/luck percentage when it comes to trading, but not per se with how you see gambling. It highly depend on what game you are playing. In some cases like poker it's also the understanding of the game that gains you an advantage, but in general gambling is just gambling. Slots, dice, roulette, etc. These are games that require you to have the full 100% of luck -- zero skills are involved here.
Anyone starting trading just now, please take my advice and stick with price trading for now ( bitcoins price trading ) and get involved in alt coins trading when you feel you can take some risks.
They do have both risk on losing up money on engaging between two things and trading would really like gambling if you do it without any knowledge that you are just trading up blindly then comparing the risk to gambling would be the same because you don't know on what you are doing but when you do trade with proper knowledge then it's already a different story since it would become a profitable business when you do constantly making money out of it.

People do gambling to win money or to make profit in an instance, while trading is an investment for business, when it comes for risk they're kinda similar but in terms of business and society they are much different, because trading is a big factor for economy.

Gambling can be done in terms of trading while someone can do trading like almost gambling, for example we do arbitrage betting then actually its odds trading and if someone is just buying random coins then its rather gambling and not trading. It's not important if we trade or gamble just make sure your strategy is foolproof means that it cannot have anything wrong, if it has risks find ways to minimize it.

You can always look the things like that, life is gambling. You can always bet on outcome, what you can do in life, gambling, trading, etc, is to lower your risk. Most simple explanation for that that you always invest something energy, love, money, shares, material things, and you expect, hope, demand, wish to get something in return, that is gambling, nobody gets everything, not anyone fulfilled all expectations to be real. Now to get back on topic, difference between real gambling in casino and trading is in basics, its completely different game, with different odds and payouts, system is different. With this, how you call it, "technical analysis and whatnot" you are lowering your risk, and shoot for highest possible profit if you catch good moments. On contrary in gambling you just roll the dices and wait for profit, that is much easier then trading.
