Do you consider trading as gambling?

[Zadicar]

To me, everything is gambling . Whatever you do you are always  taking a risk, with gambling the  risk is alot greater than  something like trading but there is still  that risk that it could go wrong.

If you can't take any risk then you can't fight with inflation because if you keep your money without investing than over the time, you're money value will reduce. So you should find suitable investment products to grow your money. Of course, gambling is not an investment, but it is just a paid games to enjoy your free time.

but if you have skills and learn more about trading you can make it risk free since you know what particular investment are you going to enter thats the difference between gambling and trading.

Even if you have skills on trading its still not risk free since risk free word means %100 and remember every investment has  chance on lossing  up your money. I do agree gambling and trading  somehow the same  on the risk on lossing but in trading you could lessen the risk  if you trade smartly unlike on gambling its a totaly blind gaming.

Hey people,

I've always been a huge gambler. I like creating useless schemes (as we all know bank always win ^^) and betting whole nights long in order to find THE right way of betting.
But I need change, I can't bet over and over on the same game cause after I see that nothing can be done to change the odds, I'm bored.

So I thought a bit about trading and I started not so long ago. and it feels a bit like a betting game without knowing the odds and with an infinity of parameters!

Does anyone else takes trading as a gambling game?

yes , you are right i also thinks the same . but trading comes lile gambling when the rate of bitcoins fall and up suddenly amd sharply which results in the loss of money in local currency with which we trade . but here is a solution that we should sell btc daily that we had bought from other .

first saw trading, I think it is one of the gambling game, but once I understand how to play it, I think this is not gambling, and this is one way you can do to make more money with a smaller risk than gambling. although equally dependent on luck, but you can enlarge the luck that you have in trading, to seek information about the coins would you buy if you play the trading altcoin

Considering the volatility of the market some people may consider trading as a type of gambling. However your knowledge is important in trading while luck is important in casinos. Again sports betting is based on knowledge and luck. So I guess trading cannot be considered as gambling provided you dont take very high risks.

there is no risk free in life , so as long as you are doing the logical things and you know what you are doing you should be fine

in my country for example the currency started going down 6 years ago , and now it's down something like 1300% comapring it with 2010
at that time I was 15 but if I had the good knowledge I would had advised my family to buy gold or do anything else with the money

so trading is not risk free  but it's a good thing to do if you are good  , fiat isn't risk free but in the long run fiat is a loser bet
our whole life is about finding edges , and trading can be one of those edges

The inflation will strike on our fiat so it is good to hold an asset that grows its value overtime and one of that is gold or bitcoin in the new era which is the internet gold, just always bear in mind to regularly save for your future and if you can trade the better.

No it's not like that. Even a pro trader with good skills are not safe with that risk and they even lost too.

Your trading skill will allow you to play with all of the risk but it doesn't mean you are safe with it.

For a part I consider it as gambling but I also think that is logical due to the fact that its very risky and you are exchanging money for something.
I think its almost the same and that the risks are the same as it so yes!

For me trading is just becoming the same with gambling when it comes to risk. But as a business risk is always there like in real life.

But you won't earn fast in trading so it takes time before you are going to earn decent amount there so you must invest also with time.

Unlike in gambling you can earn fast money and as well you can lose faster.

The thing that a lotnof people think that trading is just like gambling because they have no idea in trading.
Everyone know that trading and gambling is two different thing .
They compared in risk factor only , nothing more?

You are indeed correct, actual trading is gambling. But trading is better used for those who do not want to get addicted and don't want to get something very bad thing if the always use it. Gambling and trading differences did exist in the risk, so if we see well then all the gambling and trading the same

yes , here i  am also taking trading as a gambling , because here we got small small profit in each deal but a bad work done with us when the price sharply goes down and up during buy and sell respectively . so i think it is Also like a gambling to bet with current btc amount .

i think your assumption that trading is like gambling is Right because i also got the loss since some days due to change in the price of btc sharply up amd down . but in my openion if we talk about the trading only in btc and do not compae it with the practical money then it is not a gambling like thing.

[gandame]

Yes i consider trading as gambling because the trading and gambling is  both them risky because you can win or lose . The trading is like gambling or buy a bitcoin altcoins but you never know when it increases and can decrease the kays sold so you can simply sink or eventually beat . Also gambling you can win or lose so they are both risky .

After a lot of thinking, I must say that gambling is different to trading. Yes, it is both risky ( I agree with you ) and there is always a possibility that you will lose but, trading have one difference. The difference between them is that, you have a hold on the coins/thing that you've traded which is different to gambling. Even the price of the traded coins have sunked out, remember that you still have the coins in your hand.

in most case trading on bitcoin/altcoin are just like gambling.
if you are an altcoin active trader in mid 2014 to early 2015 you will have to know about profitcoin PFC.
ProfitCoin PFC that owned by Hash Profit (scam cloudmining) have a high price at first time .
and become scam coin in the end with zero value means you have nothing left on your wallet.
is it gambling? yes i said in most case trading are gambling.

It is gambling but you can analyze the data you have, like now there are altcoins that has a great value and will boom in the future but we cannot have assurance that we will profit in the long run, we still need to do our job and that is to monitor the price regularly and the inside market as well.

It can be considered gambling when the investor is only based on chart analysis, forgetting to follow the development of the project in which the investment is made.

Yes in both case the risk is same, but the risk percentage is different in both gambling and trading. And the skill set also different in trading we need to know about market price, and we have to follow the daily market updates, etc. But in gambling, if you have luck you will make a profit without any skills and hard work. In trading profit, percentahe is bit high and in gambling, it is bit low.

Or let us just say it this way, more traders are successful compared to the gamblers using the same goal in making money, they have risk both but it seems that trading is more profitable so it is fine if we are gambling when we trade as long as we can make profit in the end.

good point if the investors is just reading the charts and not dealing with the real project and developments they are just staking to what they believes charts will bring them so its gambling to their fate.
