is it a game of skill or just pure luck, sent 2 dollars there and i lost, do people predict the price or just hope for the best ?
From what i've gathered it seems like a 50/50 sort of gamble, since you are betting no market noise movements and not any fundamentals, so yeah its way more of a gamble than traditional trading.
with enough market knowledge and experience, secondstrade can be profitable for some people that can predict the price of bitcoin/whatever currencies are tracked on there. this possibility to gain an edge is also the reason why seconds trade has such a high house edge which is visible on the win multiplier.
