Skill based gambling is more better than trading, when we compare the risks which both forms have than I feel skill based gambling looking good, in trading very hard to make safe exit because crypto market dominated by big whales and majority of the people is just crying with this, on other side sports betting and poker have pretty good chance there.

[andycarrol]

what you say is all true, both have a high risk. but based on the strategy and large capital, the better I do the trade. because I think it would be easier to make a profit with large capital. but if you do not have a large capital and if you have a good strategy at poker and sports betting, it could be a good growing to reach doubled in a short time, because it will be difficult if done on a trade in a short time, because in trading, sometimes the price is difficult and rarely to increase up to 100%.

I think both do not differ greatly in this respect, but more risky gambling, because gambling 70% dependent on luck. imho

[raaajlucky]

The gambling is always a risk, But in skill base gambling your profit and loss depend on your knowledge and luck. If you are excellent in skill games then you can able to make a profit here, In trading it is different you need big investment to make a decent profit, and here you have to keep your eye on market price, you should follow the market updates daily. Then only it is possible make profit in Trading.

Both types have their own limits and both are risky, but I think that if in skill-based gambling, you are talking about sports betting, then sports betting is less risky compared to trading which is less predictable due to sudden ups and downs that take place any time and might harm your portfolio badly.

That is true. Both are risky.. but if you're good at trading and predictions then there's no problem but it's not guaranteed. Not as if you're on skill-based gambling there's a higher chance for you to win for as long as you know the sports well.

[BitcoinPC]

Believe me both are same, many time i said that gambling and trading both have a same way, Because of both are risky, and need skill and luck, but important thing luck always will count in them.
But only one way is different and that is in Gambling, we get earn or loss in a short time of period, but in Trading, we need patient and it is time taking work. But main point is that both are risky.

[amacar2]

Both of them have some risk, however i think skill-based gambling or any forms of gambling have much more risk than trading. Actually all those skill based gambling aren't 100% based on skill so luck also plays bigger part on winning.

[Raimonn]

Both, every one has its risks. I prefer bitcoin trading, but you depend on big players (whales), changes on monetary politics, rumors or problems about one exchange. On skill based gambling you depend on your skill, and your luck.

[streazight]

Personally I do not find any differences between gambling and trading, particularly a skill-based gambling must be a trading. Yes, I'm just gambling bitcoin prices like it will reach some levels, but obviously trading gives me time to recover my losses whereas gambling doesn't.

[rancidgash]

I often see that people prefer skill-based gambling such as poker or sportsbook because they think it's more profitable than trading.
But, people say that sports can be manipulated by mafia/casino for their own good.

So, which one is more risky? Skill-based gambling or trading? I think both of them have same risks because both of them could be manipulated, unexpected things could happen and many more.

That if is possible to manipulate price of some good depends on the market depth. So in other words most safe are good with large maket depth (gold, oil)
Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency trading is risky because the market is still little.

Skill-based games are good for very experienced players.

In other words everything depends on the skills and experience.
If someone is good in trading - it will be less risky for him.
If someone is good in Poker - for sure it will be better for him play poker than trading.

If you ask me what is more risky trading altcoins for experienced trader, or playing poker for experienced poker player, i will say that more risky is trading alts.

[richmcrich]

obviously trading gives me time to recover my losses whereas gambling doesn't.

But when you are into intraday trading, there will not be any differences. The need to close your trade within the day so that the margins will be released otherwise you need to pay extra penalty in forex trading.

There are minor differences between skill-based gambling and trading, still trading stays as a safer zone for myself.

[kryptqnick]

THe risk depends on how we measure it. If it is about probability to lose then in trading it is more indefinite than in gambling. In trading you have a chance to win a lot not risking very much if some currency suddenly becomes really popular. And what is a skill-based gambling? Can there be such a thing. I'd say in trading it is more about your experience with the stuff, so trading is a bit less risky and a thing in which you really can be skilled.

[novemberwoah]

If we talk about risk, I think both are very risky because it is possible to lose money if it fails. But in my opinion are more at risk of gambling because despite having the skills to be able to win still need luck. In contrast to trade, if we do a trade at the right site and we have the skills to look at the market, it can make a better profit.

[crytoboost]

Both are risky skill based gambling and trading from my point of opinion there is no difference between them, we have to use our skill and knowledge to take risk there so that I can say this trading has some similarity, I can't say this from these one has less risk there.

[letyouearn]

I think trading is more safe than a skilled gambling.  Because,  at least we can monitor the buying and selling quantity on trading platform . Like how much funds are bought by traders ( investors ). The more people buying particular coins , the more chances of it to increase the rates of that coin. But , in gambling,  no one can assume what is going to happen. 

[whizter]

Both of them have some risk, however i think skill-based gambling or any forms of gambling have much more risk than trading. Actually all those skill based gambling aren't 100% based on skill so luck also plays bigger part on winning.

yes in both trading and skill based gambling still luck is involve and no one know about their luck, although your skill and experience is also important but still you need your luck therefore as both also depend on luck therefore both have the same risk.

Good questions.
I think skill-based gambling is have more risky, simple because its gambling.
Trading have a risk too, but if you can manage, good analyze to avoid manipulate price, you can earn big profit, and trading have a lot ways to analyze, also have a good indcators which can help you to analyze easily. i ever see an expert trader said, if trading will be a dignified profession in the future.

In the sense of holding your fate with much higher earnings ill agree with you but in terms of risk its more riskier playing gambling even it is a skill based the possibility of burning your bankroll always present unlike with trading you just needed good insight and education to assess which movement the market will go.

[Kanapka]

with gambling you can lose everything overnight, with trading your losses will be smaller ones over time, if you lose

so in this sense gambling, even with skill, is riskier than trading

[babo]

both of them have risk because both of them are random lucky based

gambling is based on statistic, but statistic is used wrong .. mind BIAS -> lost money
trading the same, based on statistic.. no really "math" law.. in this case too mind BIAS -> lost money
