Topic: Prove me wrong: Gambling is both more relaxing and entertaining than trading! (Read 776 times)

It is true that gambling and trading have different worlds and have their own risks, one of the purposes of gambling is based on momentary pleasure and perhaps it could be said to be entertainment when you are bored and it could be to try out playing and make quick profits, but luck every gambler does not necessarily and is not certain to win.
If a gambler experiences a win, perhaps the mood will be happy and quite entertained by the win and if on the contrary the gambler experiences a loss, it is not necessarily the mood that will be entertained. If the gambler experiences consecutive losses and loses a lot of money, he will definitely be ambitious and not use reasoning in playing because chasing the losses he lost, the mood will become emotional and the ambition to win can be said to no longer be an entertainment.
It's different if the gambler has a lot of money, losing isn't a problem, it's certain that gambling is just for entertainment.
The term is different from trading, it can also be for entertainers, but you are more careful and you can take advantage of trading, if you experience a loss you will be more careful in taking risks, so gambling is indeed more entertaining, but gambling wins are based on luck which is not certain or certain.

Gambling and commerce are from separate worlds. One's wishful, the other strategic. Both take risks, but only one is diligent. Traders use tools, analysis, and science. They control the bleed and alter the tides with more than a wish

Our story's villain isn't gambling. The player's thinking matters. When done for fun, gambling can be a test of luck, but its unpredictability requires respect. The tables shift against you when it becomes more than fun

Healthy gambling? It exists. Limits, odds against you, and perceiving it as a diversion, not a lifeline. Avoid allowing highs blind you to inevitable lows. Cross that boundary and the exhilaration might turn to despair. Staying right adds a little excitement to life, but nothing more

Since I am into both stock trading and football betting, I can agree that gambling has an entertainment value when compared to stock trading. I have no fun in stock trading. I have been into sports betting for 6 years and I can say that even when I lose, I am still entertained since I watch most of the games I staked on without considering how much I have staked. I always try to watch the games and stay happy. This is something you don't get in stock trading.

I have been into trading for 12 years now and successful for 7 years. It is always painful losing money because the only reason I trade is to make money. I have always preoccupied my mind with when the market might open the next day. Sometimes, when I make a profit, I am still not happy because I would have profited more if I had waited a day to liquidate.

The world of gambling is full of unique things, sometimes those who are too serious about gambling, there are many things that look negative and positive from people's views, calming and entertaining is not something that is wrong and wrong in the field, This is indeed the fact that happens in the field, but for those who have never gambled, of course they think where is the entertainment and pleasure, they think that those who gamble are stressed and crazy, that is the opinion of those who hate those who gamble.

Many of us see them betting on ridiculous and unreasonable things, for example: cars passing on the highway can be used as games and gambling, which means they gamble just for fun and entertainment, Sometimes pleasure doesn't just come from how many billions of dollars we have, small and trivial things can be entertainment for most people.


Talking about trading, of course, trading makes us feel bored and boring, trading doesn't look calming and entertaining, it actually makes us tense.
To be honest, for me, gambling is always using a type of game that can make gamblers entertained and happy, that's gambling, the more you get into it, the more real it is shown.

if gambling is done in a relaxed and self-controlled manner it will certainly be more fun than trading, but in trading it will also be fun if you have skills, maybe you think that trading is just guessing up or down, I think more than we think when you show high interest in a project, for example you like gambling, there are gambling projects that also provide their tokens such as betfurry, frebitcoin and others. I'm sure you will occasionally glance at these tokens

It is true that for those who like gambling, gambling is something that is more fun than trading because it has a different goal.
Traders can also experience losses but they can still be controlled so that there are not too many losses and they can make a profit from their own money and it is simply better for them to make a profit from their own money than relying on luck in a game, namely gambling.
For someone who has experienced and repeated gambling and even experienced repeated wins, a gambler will think that gambling is a very enjoyable entertainment and can make a profit through winning, this will make gambling a hobby.
and the main priority is to entertain and earn money through luck, but if a gambler experiences defeat, experiences losses and loses a lot of money, it will immediately change his mood, mentality and emotions to become unstable and unpleasant.

It's hard to tell, that's not the absolute truth about gambling, I know a few that rages when they lose a lot of money when they're gambling, have seen fights broke out in a casino back when I was a kid. Sure some people might be seeing it that way but I'm sure that's not the case for everyone. @STT says it best.
If you're putting in millions, I don't think that you can ever relax in that kind of situation because there's a lot of money at stake either you're a nihilist or a Buddhist kind of guy that you don't care about the money that you're going to lose no matter how large the amount is.

But if what you are looking for is peace and entertainment then gambling is the right place and gambler will definitely prefer to deposit their money to play rather than trade if they are looking for entertainment and satisfaction.
As long as gambler only has the goal of having fun and entertaining himself, large amounts of spare money are not really needed because using relatively small amounts of money and small bet can make gambler feel happy.
In contrast, when people are really looking for big adrenaline rush and feeling of satisfaction from big achievement from gambling, they may actually need a larger amount of cash reserves because they will feel full adrenaline and satisfaction with large betting amounts.
This will trigger the brain and heart to function faster because curiosity and anxiety will become one waiting for the results of the bets made.
It just that I don't recommend doing all that if your financial capabilities are inadequate.
And it true that gambling still depends on skill and luck to be successful, it just that being too careless is not good attitude because luck can never be predicted when it will come.

If you really want results and profits that are more clearly visible and the opportunities are quite large, then just leave gambling with all the luck and skills you have and then start trading.
This will be much more profitable and you can clearly see the opportunity to make some money if you really have the skills and knowledge in trading, but don't expect it to be fun because trading is not an activity that can be used for fun.

Both trading and gambling serve different purposes and are used for different things, so there is no doubt that there will be a lot of differences between them. Gambling is fun, especially if you are making bets with money that you can afford to lose and will feel no remorse about if lost. On the other hand, trading is profitable, people use it to earn money using their money, and it provides better opportunities for that as it isn't solely dependent on luck.

I would never compare gambling with trading, and I would never argue with anyone who says gambling is more fun than trading because it's true. Trading can be stressful because you might have more money at stake and are not doing it to lose it. When it comes to gambling, most of us already know that we can lose the money that we are betting.

If the gambler was in the real game of gambling,he should have huge money for the backup.If the gambler start with the money back,he can able to recover the big loss in the gambling site easily.The gambling is not the easy like the trading,because trading can be fixed by the good trading skills.The gambling is not cracked by using the skills alone,it need of luck along with the skills.If the gamblers try the game with the skills alone,it leads to the loss.The gamblers who have been in the gambling for the longer period will know that gambling based on both the skills and luck.If the gamblers do the gambling with the full luck also it won’t work.

Relaxing can only possibly apply if you stay within your limits.   IF you bet the house then how can it be relaxing, as a game designed to be a leisure past time then yes gambling is the easier path then trading otherwise i don't especially agree.   Reason why OP might be more wrong then right is too many people walk into a bad situation lackadaisically, do the simple thing and have a set limited budget every day then mistakes are purely just for that day its all fun and games then.

It is stressful for me to watch the market especially when you can see that all the hours you have spent on analyzing the market seemed to be wrong. It is not entertaining for, also even if I get my position correct and turns out to be a nice position tho.

Hmm, I think we can say that gambling is entertaining simply because it is made for entertainment haha. "Out of place" is quite harsh to describe it, I can see that it is your personal preference thus trading is more entertaining for you.

Wouldn't be much relaxing if to sleep? nah just kidding. Watching sports is relaxing, thrilling if you put some bet on it. I cannot watch sports without bet man, I mean I want to feel something while watching gives me more attention to the play/fight with a bet.

They both want to achieve the same thing and they are not different from each other. Their role as an instrument to provide you with profit, excitement, and problems alike is the same as yours as the investor or bettor. The issue comes from the fact that once you commit your time to this type of money-profit activity, you feel compelled to complete the task at the moment.

If you trade, you must control your decision-making and set a budget for your investment. While some people enjoy trading because it will challenge them and has more potential for financial gain, others prefer gambling because it offers the excitement of chances and the possibility of big rewards.  Because of this, it all depends on the individual's preferences and expertise in this field. If you partake in any of these activities, you should trade and gamble responsibly. Rather than acting in a compulsive manner, try to comprehend and analyze the circumstances.

You are correct mate..
The stress in trading is what can't be achieved in any time soon and it requires lot of technicalities and more studying to be able to carry out effective trading even as that there is no assurance or guaranteed that once someone finished studying he would start earning from trading especially when started with Demo account before a trader could get used to real account he would have lost severally because of the trading fever that comes whenever someone goes live. Unlike gambling but at the time when all games goes life bettor finds it very difficult because at that moment if they stake with higher amount you would see that their countenance changes I think few days ago I experienced it as well.

Basically, trading is based on the desire to earn money, and gambling is based on the opportunity to earn money and get unforgettable emotions. Both there and there you can both achieve great success and lose all your money by getting into credits. Trading in this case is quite a lot of work

I think trading is more tensed than gambling in gambling all you need to do is to get your games properly predicted to have a winning and to whatever prediction someone that is what they will get as in a return, and again gamblers already had this mindset that it a game of probability or chance based game and they wouldn't go that deep in putting their money to gamble even though there are chronic gambler who don't care about how much they spent in betting a game or multiple matches but we should they can't continually wasting such amount of money just make huge profits and even if they do we can term such people to be gambling addicts.

While in trading we have more pressure if that person is still a newbies trade s/he can easily empty their account at cost of trying to knows there stands maybe to make profit, although emptying account depends on individual they can still managed their funds possible gain little profit at point of that. Trading can be more preferable to to gambling since there are all possible best to still have your funds left with you compared to gambling were you place a bet and if the bet goes against you then the staked amount is gone.

I fail to understand the purpose of this into


Yes you could, but you wanted that big return too much.
The moment your game was already at 3 you could have taken an insurance bet for half of the money by betting against your fist bet.
So if you had a 100 stake in it at 3:1 you stand to win 300, but you could have easily at this point bet 100 on the result not happening.
You either lose the first bet but you win the second one and you're still on zero no win no loss or you win the first one and lose obviously the insurance with the cost being that you don't win 300 but only half of it.

Pretty simple!


Neah, I'm actually quite relaxed on the outcome of the bet.
I find it indeed thrilling as I watch the race for the race itself but I've stopped being concerned about the actual bet years ago, my horse could have felt 5 hurdles away but if the race is tight to the line between the ones left I'm still on the edge of the sofa grasping the pillow, despite the result not meaning a thing.
For the bet, I stooped caring, looking at my bet account in the last 3 years only 4 months I've ended in red, I know that if I'm keeping my budget tight and I don't make stupid mistakes I'm not going to lose enough to get me anxious.

I believe that gambling can be more entertaining due to the added element of risk. The possibility of winning or losing creates a sense of anticipation and excitement, which is why some people enjoy it. However, it's important to note that the entertainment factor doesn't just come from winning. Rather, it's the thrill of the possibility of doubling one's money with each bet that attracts many gamblers.

At first trading not something that's need to b fun to do. Trading like a business as much of as just emphasis on where you earn some funds through market fluctuations . While betting on the other hand are not fun all the time sometimes it might be fun at the start but at the end you may end up sad probably if you  didn't win. But trading is something that will take time to master. You easily managed your loss in trading than gambling but both play their own different roles.
