Do you consider trading as gambling?

[teilwalL05]

Hey people,

Does anyone else takes trading as a gambling game?

I wouldnt consider trading bitcoins on an exchange the same thing as gambling. Gambling involves a certain FIXED percentage change of you winning.

While trading is never a fixed chance. in gambling you usually know the odds of you winning but that doesnt apply in trading.
Also trading includes a ton of skill and intuition of when to buy/sell, while gambling is pure luck (excluding poker).

Trading is for sure lottery for every person that make first steps (each of us once had to start). So we can say that for beginners it is gambling. Everything depends from experience and knowledge. This same is with gambling - old gamblers know, that no one will be rich from gambling

Unless you are naturally gifted for an activity most people star at zero in almost anything in what they may try to do, gambling an investing are no exception to this rule.

We cannot expect that we can win when we play gambling because once we play gambling we may not know when we can win because there is no assurance at all in gambling and that's the truth!

You can consider it as gambling in my eyes because it has some mayor risks and that is with gambling and trading the same so, yes I think it can be considered as gambling but I must say that the profit is very attractable.

If you go for trading without any knowledge of trading then surely it is same as gambling because you will by trading just by guessing price may go up or down and results only depend only on luck. But if you have knowledge and can go for long trade then it is a different story, and you can make some good profit from trading. As per me both are not same if you manage it properly.

That's why it's really important for us to learn the basics first in trading. Once we understand and have a proper knowledge about it, it would lessen the chance for us to gamble our bitcoins when we trade.

[CroIsBest]

Depends with which thing I am trading so sometimes it is and sometimes it isnt.With new cryptocurrencies it is really risky and like gambling but with bitcoin it is safe.

[DrGuns4Hands]

For me it's a big No.
 Because trading having something to be traded for another item that is on same value.
 You actually get the same value as you give. No losses on both traders because they deal with an offer that will be good and enough for both of them. Its just like you buy an item with money to but instead of money you used an item.
So what do you think on my opinion ?   

[HardCrack]

For me yes, because you have to take a risk. Your product might not be good to the buyer you might lose a lot of money with that.

All types of investments have the risk and I consider that gambling is investment and so trading is. That's why they are all risky and I consider trading as gambling too for you will risk the money that you will invest into it. And it depends on how much you are willing to put into their or if else you will fail in trading, you will come back to gambling.

You are right on that, it's like gambling but a less risky one.. You will be able to make a right study with trading since the information is present as you can see it, while in gambling it's more on the luck and a little skills.. But games can be manipulated so you cannot make profit in gambling.

I would always choose trading over gambling because in trading I have more chance to be successful in the future while in gambling it's all about the luck and you cannot predict the right outcome of the game despite the information is present to analyze.

okay all investment = gambling , so if you buy and invest on google stock, facebook stock etc it's gambling? well i don't fully agree , gambling are gambling and investment are investment both are different thing it's just has a similar feature. that's what crossed in my mind about gambling , trading and investment.

Well trading and gambling are something different on trading we can do minimalize of lost(risk) we can do cut lost if the price agaist our position on trading but on gambling we can do that because it is depend on our lucky.

it's similar for both. In trading we need to have a big amount of capital to be able to make small amount of profit but in gambling we love to put a small bankroll hoping we can turn that to x10 of the original amount.

I think it is more on who will manage the money.

getting your point that's right we can make good assessment to avoid totally losing our money inside trading unlike in gambling we are just relying from our luck and its limited in terms of certain games we play with trading anytime that we wish to get our earnings or every time we wanted to cut our loses we can it asap. its just consider gambling if you are relying in your luck without knowing more about the investment that you are placing your money.

Trading is like gambling. But in terms of risks they are very different from each other. In gambling your only chance of winning is only 50/50, also the house edge is your opponent. But in trading, you can minimize it depending on what you are trading.

there is also another difference in both of these and that is in gambling you do not have control that what will happen next and the bet comes as a surprise for you while in trading you can easily know and can predict from already and in this way you can control your earnings in trade.

While trading is way better than gambling, you are mistaken when you imply that somehow we have control of what will happen next if you trade, that is completely false, since we have no way to know what will happen next, we can estimate what can happen but we will never know for sure.

True!
You cannot assure profit from trading because it still has risks!
But you can lessen the risk buy studying about the coin you are going to trade and by having an strategy like when to invest high and when to invest low. Also, you can also add that you should invest on a trusted site which has lots of "whales" or what we know as big time investors

Studying means you need to allocate a lot of time to be updated of the recent information of the asset that you are trading. Therefore, as a trader if you want to make money, you need to value your time and if it's possible you need to make a good amount of capital for your trading activity.

In your eyes gambling and trading is the same because of risks you are going to face gambling and trading is the same as well it always cosidered as gambling you will lose money and you will gain profits and it's really profitable when you are going to risk too much money.

Well, trading and gambling is very different. although it has very much in common, and even trading can be the same thing as gambling. if you play the predictions and trading without a plan, you're just gambling, because it depends on the luck that you have, but if you do it with a good calculation, then you are playing trading, and it can make you get many benefits

That's right it's profitable but only under the condition if you succeed. The amount of money does matter a lot but always put in mind to put what you can afford regardless of the amount, you are the only one who can determine what amount you are comfortable in putting.

If you are  a sensible person  you would definitely  consider these things  because   you are  already aware  on your actions  that  you  should  made, . If  we  value  our  money  we  would  know  how to control  it and  we should really do that. Back to topic , gambling and  trading  do  have  simmilarities  and  thats the risk   of  lossing  money  involve .
