You need patience in trading and that is very important. Trading is the best option rather than gambling. And if you really want to quit, you better open stores and convert some of it into your currency and save them to the bank for your future needs.
I agree that we get good returns in trading as compared to that of gambling. One should not think the loss of trading as actual loss because he gets some experience with that loss and probably next time he can avoid the same mistake. I see the loss of trading as fees to learn trading (and loss in gambling as fees to learn to gamble.. lolz No). When you can earn good returns with calculated risks (in gambling, it is not possible).
Gambling should in no shape or form be seen as something that is close to whatever investment or doing trading. Especially when you look at the most popular gambling games. It's pure luck that people depend on. I often hear people saying that they found a dice method to constantly win, but that's simply impossible. It may work out for them at start as the luck is with them, but at some point their luck runs out, and thus that method will be worthless. It's of course always a great thing to learn from mistakes in trading that resulted in you losing money, but the point is that you actually learn from what you did wrong. In many cases people constantly make the same mistakes, and end up losing money. It doesn't always work for people as some of them don't learn anything
As much as I would love to agree with this (that gambling is nowhere close to investment by any metric), the policy of truth still requires me to object to your claim. Obviously, I don't mean dice casinos where you are basically exchanging your coins for the fun and pleasure of gambling as well as testing the level of your luck. That should be evident to any sane individual (as an aside, trading is not very different from gambling in this regard given that over 90% of so-called traders are losing in the long run). Here I refer to the games which also require skill along with luck. For example, one such game is poker where it is said that skill ultimately outplays luck...
I guess this kind of gambling may be worth investing in (i.e. investing in your skill and then reaping the fruits of your success)
Some years ago I would agree with deisik's opinion about poker, but today the poker tables have many bots. So as I see it the only kind of gambling where someone must have any experience except luck is playing in sporting gamble sites.
I don't play poker, I don't even know the precise rules of the game, I just heard that it still has a lot of human factor built in, and I certainly like the entourage. Besides, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are said to be often playing poker between themselves, so that should mean something, shouldn't it? On the other hand though, the
Go game was also previously thought as not very suitable for brute-forcing (unlike, for example, chess) since it has by far more alternatives to evaluate per move, but just a few days before New Year some Go bot, which is suspected to be further development of the AlphaGo program won over all players at Tygem, a Go server, and then switched to FoxGo, another Go server, where it had again crushed all competition (with only one game ending in a draw)...
So, how likely is something like that in poker?
