Gambling sucks in comparison to trading. Way more can be made through trading and with a good understanding of the market you could make it a day job but you will need a large initial investment

We can compare them dude simply because they were both risky gambling is a way much more literal because from the title it self. But trading is another way of gambling but this one is in my own opinion much safer than gambling.

Trading is safer than Gambling. You can trade and decide where to put your money by using different resources like analytics and charts but in gambling once you placed your bet, you have no idea what the outcome is because there is no such thing as a real strategy or technique in gambling.

Everything include risk. As long as you want more money to come in, you have to take risk. However, it is about taking the appropriate risk. If the expected return is negative, then it is a risk not worth taking.

But if anyone trades without proper knowledge of trading then it is also almost same as gambling. There are plenty of traders who has lost a lot of money in trading similar to gambling so trade very carefully. Don't ever try to trade on daily basis or hourly basis because those are purely luck based and similar to gambling and we can lose lot of money very quickly.

Of course trading ismuch better because it depends on your decision, after all the research and information taken, you can at least some advantage on gaining profit rather than letting chance or luck dictate the result if you are playing gambling games.  Though I think playing poker ismuch better than trading because poker is greatly affected by skill.

Poker requires tons of luck too.. of course i think possible its more skill based than trading specially cryptos which are volatile as hell and pretty much anything can happen. I still think that ETC is a good contender to eventually pump, but it may take higher than we expected.

I do both but I gamble more. If you want to win big in a short period of time, do gambling. But if you want a lower risk to take, do trading. But it would take time for you to make a decent profit.

Well good thing to hear that someone is doing both and you are more focus more into gambling. Well for sure you are earning a lot from it.

As you gamble, even if you are going to lose. You are going to earn with your trading. And all you have said are right.

Gambling is riskier rather than gambling.

if they were smart enough I think will choose the trade. gambling at all favorable too much to lose.
but if he had a good strategy and always win, I think he would take gambling, because gambling is easy, unlike the trade that takes time to analyze and continue to monitor price movements.

You can certainly make the grass on both, but you first need to know the quality of your choice. Is it really that many people prefer both. It surprises me a little.

Well yes indeed. You cannot hope to succeed doing any life without sufficient training. I'm talking more about if you know your stuff and have studied and prepared with a good strategy.

All of these things will definitely have the risks and if we are afraid of all the risks that may be we get our life certainly would not be good. Risk it should be combated not avoided!! . If we want to succeed and hidu better then we have to find ways to minimize the risk that will confront us in all activities or things that we do. Always try, learn, and never give up is the main thing in the face of risk

Trade, it is a matter of risk management.

But gambling is riskier than trading if you manage to work with trading then you are a good risk manager that is why it is better to treat trading as a good stable of earning with bitcoin. And just treat gambling as a form of entertainment and you are going to be happy with it. But you must study very well on how trading works, while in gambling you just need luck and timing.

No you are wrong, poker is the only one gambling games that require your skills most compare to other. I am not saying that you dont need luck, you need everything in order to win good amount of money but luck doesnt have really affect the result compare to skills. Skills is more effective to get a good result. But for trading like altcoin this is just as same as gambling but not poker games may be I can called for slot games or dice which is really depends on luck to win it

If I am the one that is going to choose, I would safely choose trading but also gambling is good if you are going to do it only for having fun.

And base on my percentage, trading is for 95% and gambling is only for 5%. Because if I'm going to get addicted with it then for sure I am going to lose myself.

Rage is going to come to me and going to lose my savings.
