That's correct, in general trading is more like a job compared to gambling because if we are talking about job, we have to put a lot of time and effort in order to do it well and will generate a good result. However, in gambling even if we spend a lot of time and effort, we still cannot get our ultimate goal which is to be consistent in making money, therefore we have to fully choose where to invest our time and money and surely it's not gambling.

To be honest with you, both are not really a job. Trading should not be considered a job as it has no fixed time of working just like the other work and someone could stop trading anytime they want. Gambling on the other hand is pretty much the same so both are ways of making money however I wont really consider both as a job

Gambling isn't a job and as well as trading but you. But for those people who are professional gamblers and professional traders, they are considering it as their main job and career. In something that you are earning good and you decided to use it for your living you will consider it as your job. But for me, it's better to be in trading.

Of course the roof is already a job, but in some cases, trading is so fascinating that it resembles even a game of chance. But in this case, I would not trade to tie up or equate with gambling. Gambling is such a dependence on which it is very difficult to get rid of.

I agree! Job is something that you have an employer and agreed to take on the deal and be paid with your effort.  Gambling and Trading does not meet this condition so definitely they are not Job.  Though if you ask me what I will choose between this two, I would rather trade since in trading I have hints and other people idea that may affect the trend of the traded stocks unlike gambling where all depends oan the randomness of the result of the roll.

Some call the the same cuz of risk but both have something that other dont. For some simple example or explanation both are risky bu profitable. In gambling you can win or lose no middle option. While in Trading you can pull out you initial investment if stock/crypto are going down by selling them and keeping most of the investment. You cant do this in gambling.
They are only the same because of the risk but if you will look on it further they are totall different. And in trading you'll not lose all your funds immediately, even you lose there is still a chance that you can recover it as long there is something remaining on your trades.

Uniquely in a sense, trade is very much like a gambling game. Therefore, there is a similarity between the two golden ones. That's only in my opinion, gambling provides for Iraq a lot of risks and a lot of failures in the future, especially if the player has no idea about gambling. Trade involves attentiveness and some knowledge on the stock exchange. The main thing is to follow the exchange rates and understand what you want to do.

In trading you will lose your capital only if you sell your coins or stocks at a loss but if you keep it in future some of them may give you profits. So when you buy a coin or share should study them well and invest on it. If you do so then in the short term sometimes, you may get losses but if can keep it for a long run then mostly you will get some profit. But in gambling either you make or lose instantly and once lose there is no way you can get back your money.

Trading is for sure the best way to make profit. Gambling will almost always in the long run make you lose, unless you bet really smart.

Its both for me trading and gambling are the dame risk you need some luck before you get profit. But on gambling it so risk if you have no luck you can't win. On trading you need good strategy to get profit and always take a risk to trade.

I prefer trading, because for me it's safer than gambling. In gambling, you can count only on getting pleasure, and in trade you need to make a deep analysis that leads to profit.

Trade has pretty high chance to make decent profit. It depend on this how wise we are to pick the best option. But gambling is purely luck based so that we have no control it. I think so Trade is more profitable than gambling. Even I'm doing both but will consider to do trade.

Indeed, Trading is more profitable in gambling since the rosk in Trading is not that big like the risk in gambling. The only problem in Trading is you are just buying random coins without checking or asking to a friends who are a pro to trading if that certain coin is worth to buy or not because if we are going to be naive about this, then Trading will be like Gambling.

Though the earnings in Trading is more sure than the earnings in Gambling, that is why Trading is more preferable to do than gambling.

Trading is much safer than gambling. Before you trade you will analyze the pattern of the coin unlike in gambling the chance of losing your balance is high risk and you depend on luck but both trading and gambling has risk. It depends now on people on how they used it.

Just curious since the last discussion I had was about gambling vs trading. I know trading can seem to be a bit of a gamble as well, but I see it a little bit like poker. It's a combination of math and psychology. Maybe not the same ratio though, just generalizing  Tongue

I've been doing both trading and gambling lately. I trade to try to earn additional bitcoins but I gamble just for fun. I make sure to bet with very small amounts so I don't lose too much.

In recent situation trading has more better chance to make nice profit if we have some knowledge how to pick any coin there and what is right to make exit. I'm very active in trading from last few months and it generate huge profit for me by doing some research about the projects.

Its true that trading is most safer than gambling , In gambling you can win and lose very fast thats why its a very risky thing. Trading is more safer than gambling because even if you have a dump coin there is a possibility to pump it again for a long time.

Questions you are absolutely right. Although I generally will not consider that gambling can make a profit, this is not a profitable business. Here is another trade, it is thanks to the good skills of the trolls that you can earn good money.

Correct, at least in gambling you know how good or bad your odds are from the very beginning, the casinos make no apology of giving themselves and edge and they state the odds, in trading there is not really a way to accurately define what are your odds at the beginning of a trade, you may try to improve your odds by doing analysis and all of that but at the end you are not sure about it.

I don't think your discipline and strategies can bring you profit everytime you gamble because it needs another important thing is called luck. So if you're not lucky then you can't make a profit with only discipline and strategies. But in trading, you can make a profit if you're disciplined, focused, patience and got some good knowledge of trading.

This is very often discussed, that gamble rely heavily on someone's luck, but I think otherwise, that our gamble can make good fortune come to us, that is by being patient. We quit the gambling assat control, especially when we experience defeat, the culminating emotion causes us to lose control in controlling our funds for gambling. Then if we can control the emotions, certainly better gamble in comparison trading.

Well, if it was, maybe I would choose both, but now I am more interested in the trading of the gambling. the reason is, because trading is not particularly a great risk like gambling, other than that if you're good at trading, the risk that you receive may be just a little bit. I was still a little interested in gambling, but was limited to sports betting
Trading is better to gambling that's why people are more interested in trading. It has also a risk but not as the same risk of gambling, because in trading we can earn in a long run and gambling is not good for long run.
