I will do more trading than gambling, In trading there is only a small risk of losing your investment if you know where to put your money. The growth of our money in trading is depend on the progress of the investment we take. We can diverse all our funds in trading to avoid loses. In gambling, this is a quick money to earn and to lose. We only depend on our luck in gambling and we can win or lose in instant.
Our decision really matters and we have to choose on the one that could really bring profit to us, trading is the way to make constant income because in gambling you are betting against a casino which is very hard to beat or maybe impossible to beat if we just rely on our luck.
We can try both but in the end let's evaluate where we are good at, and if we are not winning in gambling then for sure trading would be the best way to make money.
i already tried both and i really can say that trading is much better than gambling because if you will analyze the normal things happen both can results
greediness so its much better being greedy inside trading because you will seek those profitable knowledge about any coins that you will support and
the good result can be more potential earnings as you continue finding more ways to learn about crypto.

I think trading is much better than gambling when it comes with a sure profit because when you trade surely you will gain something on the other hand if you gamble there is no assurance if you can win or loose. But if you want easy money gambling is better because trading takes patience and time before you earn big.

Trading cryptocurrencies require patience in order to have some winning trades. I know it is easy to be patient but when emotion and money are involved, being patient is hard to practice - hence, the one who can practice it in their trading wins.

Trading is a tool to generate cash flow just like a any business, but if you understand the business of gambling, then you can easily understand the business of trading.

Many say this line "Trading Is Like Gambling". Well is it?

If we invest in Stocks, its a little like Gambling.
This reasoning causes many people to shy away from the stock market. Why is that, cuz investing in stocks is inherently different from gambling, we need to review what it means to buy stocks.

On other side, we all know that Gambling has a fixed odds system for all major games, while trading in the markets is truly unpredictable and sometimes even worst then Gambling, we all know that sometimes markets crash.

If you are able to exercise let say main factor for me in both cases and that is "GREED"  then you can do it only with focus on your trading/gambling strategy, you can profit in the market/casino/sportbet.

Hmm, indeed if we look at in terms of business. Gambling is the most widely sought by all people to seek a profit (business), those who have been gambling places will surely have a lot of money because it is the business of gambling. But it all happened because the players gambling do so in a way that is very bad, so the benefit is home. So instead of gambling is wrong but a way of thinking and also the attitude of the gamblers who gives it. Trading and gambling have the same level, just that they have a difference of a few points but in essence everything is almost the same.

Gambling is a great business for the owner. They are going to win money in the long term and nothing is going to change it. That is why it is great to invest in a gambling site business as well. Atleast we are getting some money back when we play , it is better than just to play like that and lose money everytime right

In gambling, it will cost all your money to lose but in trading I don't think so. We can make big profits just by a trade, like what I did. I only waited for the time to make a sell, so trading really needs patience. If there is no trading, I'd rather go investing on the casino bankroll than betting all day.

Trading and gambling is very different from each other but i can say that trading is much better with gambling because gambling is very risky to play and put your money because you cannot earn good amount of money with consistency in gambling than trading.

trading need more time to get the profit,and gambling can quickly get rich (if you lucky),but gambling has a high risk

Gambling is fast and you will have a fast time to lose too. It will be hard for those people that only gambles but don't know how to trade. I'm a gambler and also a trader but I find it more profitable in trading because it gives me a lot of chance to earn unlike in gambling when you lose, it's hard to recover almost everything.
well, gambling is very fast can make a lot of money for us. but, if you're not lucky, it could backfire for you. honestly, I prefer trading from gambling, because trading still has a great chance to benefit from gambling.
Both involve risk but gambling risk can neither be analyzed nor be mitigated. Also, trading gives us huge profits while gambling is not even a mean of earning. Gambling is a game while trading is a profession and traders are seen with more respect as compare to gamblers. At least, I do.
Actually trading sometimes feel like a game , yeaaa a game of money / game of predicting.
Both is so similar , but basically trading considered as a legitimate one to get a profitable income.
As gambling is -EV , you cannot expect always having profit there.

In trading, as long as you are not doing the margin trading, you are good because you will have the altcoins you bought forever to you and you will only going to profit or lose the time you sell it. So, if the price is down, better not sell it yet and only sell it to the price that you are already profitable.
Trading is much better than gambling.  In the trading, there are a little chances of a loss if you are not doing trading at the margin or edge. This is because your altcoins will remain saved up besides as long as the prices are not high enough to deal with them. On the other hand gambling could earn you huge losses only in a matter of seconds.
I also prefer trading over gambling. Gambling is just a game, which most things to earn profits from whereas trading is a source of income. In my opinion, both are poles apart and a comparison between them is just a joke. Trading gives profits and its chances are always high.

That was pretty good speech, I must say. I have never thought this deep. For me, gambling and trading are two different stories. Gambling involves high risk but in trading, things get better with time after occurrence of a market crash. I am afraid waiting for recovery in the world of gambling is stupid.

I choose trading, i think gambling just spent the fiat, Gambling vs trading obviously very different, Trading is a decision-making activity involving many aspects ranging from market research and analysis

Spending fiat on gambling is not a good idea with fiat if we gamble the house edge is really high and the casinos are said to manipulate the result and thus making us most of the time to lose in games against house edge , even if we win we have to fight with the casino to claim our winnings

Trading require us to be much more patience and If I have to choose between gambling and trading, then I will choose gambling and investment. I know that this is out of topic but Im sure that this is better option for me. I gamble for fun and make some money from my gambling site investment although it is not much

It does require patience and you must have that attitude and it should be practiced all of the time. There's no off topic when you chose gambling and investment as trading is also a type of investment so it all depends on what type of investment you will choose. You can also invest in some gambling investments like bankroll.

Whatever you spend we cannot change the fact that gambling is created for entertainment to people but to make the operators profitable.
The house edge is always their because it is the only thing that will make them profitable, they have invested a lot of money in running a casino, of course they will be up for profit and they can make it since they created the rules and they have the edge.

trading is much safer than gambling because you will never lose your all money in worst case you will lose lyk 80% of your investment  you can even
left at 20 or 30% so it's safer than gambling but there is no fun  Grin

I too agree that you will not lose all your investments in trading but not sure about how much % you can lose. But if you trade with leveraging option then you may lose all your money so never leverage while trading. Always have a stop loss in place to limit your losses otherwise you may lose a lot of money in trading as well. In general, trading is a better option to make money than gambling.

If you dont able to put stop loss then for sure it would potentially wipe up your entire balance this is why we should really set it up everytime specially when we do leave it or if we do have things to do.If you are an active trader then its just fine but having this kind of precautionary actions would really always been suggested and this is the thing what im doing too.

Trading is better than gambling, because you can really use the analysis to get a constant profit. Gambling is used only for entertainment and very rarely to not lose a lot of money.
I am totally disagree  with you, trading can't  provide a constant profit because with the analyses it depends in infinitely  of factors.
While gambling depends only in some statistics and some lucky predictions!

Indeed trading is risky but hell better than gambling because as you said, we are able to reduce the risk rate in trading by coming up with some good plan or strategy. Gambling sites should be banned.

It totally depends on how you see it. If you have a million dollar to risk for free then you will feel that it is kinda like a game and you dont have to worry about anything at all but if you are afraid of losing money then it is not a game. In the end, it is the same for both trading and gambling however you are going to get profit in trading most likely compared with gambling
