Please permit me to use this illustration; like you (we) know, no traders just jump into trading on their own or just make account on the trading account then fund their account and start trading. No! This doesn't happened because immediately they jumped into it automatically they would lose and what happened next?
They stay off from it and go back to study or asking questions about that particular trading seeking opinion, guidelines and strategies to excel in trading and if possible they wouldn't mind just going back to start with the demo version of it to succeed while the gain back some strength to be able to trade.
So, this same thing is what that is obtainable in gambling, before one gamble they should have the pre-knowledge or ideas on how the games works before going under high voltage to start their connections ( staking money to gamble) if they lose it surely affect them severely. That is why it's imperatively to gain the knowledge before one goes into whatever thing they felt like going into.
