To me, I say no to gambling, trading is far more better. I start trading, left it and my life became miserable not knowing it was and still the best. But, not getting it right is what people are suffering from.
Now you understand why gambling worth to leave and never come back, you chose the right option to create better life, trading. Convince people to leave gambling or stay in trading is really hard, need time and understanding about what they need in safe ways?. Many people still in gambling world and ignore trading because trading is more risky, that's the wrong mindset and need to fix immediately. Congratulations with your new journey, stay positive and follow your plan with patient and disciplines.
