Just curious since the last discussion I had was about gambling vs trading. I know trading can seem to be a bit of a gamble as well, but I see it a little bit like poker. It's a combination of math and psychology. Maybe not the same ratio though, just generalizing Tongue

I agree with you, and I like to see that you've mention poker as well. For me it's the same, you need some luck, but there is a lot of skill involved. You are risking something, so yes, it's like gambling in my opinion.

both can be really profitable but also can make you lose a lot, gambling will ruin you faster tho

Only one of them is profitable not both, As what you had mentioned gambling can make you lose a lot or worst it can wreck you totally.
So better be caution too when you do trade too.

Both can make profit if you play smart or you are smart. Trading can be very profitable in any possible way also fear of lost is here less instead of gambling. Gambling on other hand is most of the time win-lose situation in any way looked. Main difference is how much you can win or lose in trade or gambling but technically they are consider almost as same thing.

You can tell that they are the same with gambling but only to those games who do need analysis and experience to play but those are just selected and not applicable on all gambling games since they do have different types of gambling games which cant really be compared on doing trading. Yes you can make money if you are smart together with experience.

Actually, I prefer trading, because it is more likely to benefit from gambling. Well, besides, I can also relax in trading, because we can target the price that we predict. so all we do is wait.

Trading is not more profitable than gambling but can be safe for the long and short term investor whereas gambling even though can change your fortune overnight can also render you bankrupt overnight and so it isn't safe like trading but it's profitable.

Actually I think it takes more guts to give up on the game at the right time. People who stick to it even when they want to quit, what are they really proving of themselves ?
It is so stupid to play with fire while you know the fact that it will burn you. Trading is all about patience and tolerance during the dip. Stay calm and let the recovery take place.

Making the right decision before its too late needs a lot of will power in the brutal world of gambling! Trading and gambling is pole apart. Trading is not as fatal as gambling is and most of the traders end up living a good life while it is exactly opposite in the case of gambling. Though, both have their own lessons to teach.

Becoming a good trader is not easy and there are many out there who are losing with their trades most of the time. However, if you just keep on trading, you will eventually learn to when to enter and out of the trades and can have a system for your self always. Though it is not guarantee that you will always have a winning trades, but the likelyhood of getting winning trades is at reach.

It is not stupid to play with fire especially when people know that they have a good chance to win. Sometimes people are not going to waste their time when they have no reward to get. When there is a risk, there will be reward as well that is why people are willing to take it

I believe that it is necessary to use both directions if they are of interest to a person, but for trading you need more time and analysis to make a profit, and in gambling you can just enjoy the game.

Both trading and gambling will depend to the person on how he can handle himself. If he's quite good in trading, he must stick with it and if he wants to gamble just for a little. As if he understands that the possible losing in gambling is too high unlike with trading you can focus with other altcoins if you are losing from your current trade.

Control is one of the key factors in both trading and gambling. Think that most made mistake and want to do both things in same time and then made huge mistake in process. Perhaps this is some mine opinion but both have good profit and high risk at the end.

Not only control is the key factors in trading, I will be specific first with trading. Knowledge, strength of your heart, patience and good practice with experience when you trade. And by focusing only on trading and let your gambling ego rest for awhile can do good for you. But as I know our hands are always wanted to take sometime to gamble so try to control.

Trading skill is very crucial - it is not buying anything, close eyes, and hope that the said altcoin you are investing with can grow to its potential price. This is not really the case, we need to learn the product, assess the market, and check the law of demand nd supply

Don't forget that you have to monitor those alt coins that you had both and it's not just about luck or by closing your eyes. As every minute there's always a progress with it and you have to make sure with every decisions you make with it. If you think that selling will be a good thing or just keep on holding it for good.

You are right and I want to practice as well to learn to surrender in some losing battles/trades.. Because what I am doing right now is that once I buy an altcoin and it goes down, I will just hold on it no matter what and focus on trading to other altcoins..

You had to do it because it's going to be for your good. If you don't learn to surrender when you are seeing a defeat in gambling, don't worry it will not reduce your hormones being as a man. Sometimes you have to understand that giving up is a solution and when it comes to trading that your profit is the one to be affected, you need it.

Can relate to the thing you say that you need to surrender while you see a defeat in gambling

I think that if you know that you are a person who can't accept a defeat at the first place then you should avoid gambling at any cost as it can result you to lose more money then you could afford to lose at the first place.
