Between futures trading and gambling

[Rabata]

Gambling and trading are not similar. There are quite a few differences between gambling and futures trading in terms of type. In gambling, money is completely put at risk so the gambler gives up hope of that money. There are chances of winning and losing the bet money. The amount of money a gambler will win or lose on a bet can be determined in advance. in addition trading is basically speculative. There the gambler can have no preconceived notion of profit or loss. Futures trading is also risky as it is highly volatile. Although some consider gambling and futures trading similar in terms of risk but they are different.

Gambling is not an option for me; it has never been and will never be my thing. Gambling and future transactions are not the same thing, even if both involve a certain amount of luck. Gambling necessitates the availability of games as well as statistics in order to record successful results. While trading deals with fundamentals and technical analysis, understanding them at one's fingers allows one to predict market seasons. I prefer futures trading to spot trading since it provides more earnings while also generating losses if not traded intelligently.  

That's great if you've decided gambling isn't for you. I think you've seen a lot that happens in gambling, including many people who have lost. And it's better to use trading for profit than gambling because we can choose coins to trade. But if there really are people who want to choose gambling over trading, that's up to them, and we hope they know the risks and are ready to accept whatever the outcome. And they can compare the results they can get between trades, be it futures or spot trading with betting. And if they see that more trading can provide better results, they should choose trading over gambling.

Knowing the grounds and potential and all the risk that sorrounds either gambling or future trading is very important, it depends from how a certain individual interpretations of opportunities, though like what everyone of us are saying, the risk is always present it will be depending from how you pick the venue and how well you will going to analyze your potential benefits.

Gambling or future trading is for people who can take the risk and can manage the actual risk that they are taken when they place thier money in this kind of industry.

If you're interested in trading and embark doing it without having the ideal knowledge in trading, I will assume you're gambling even though trading is not gambling, but what we do that present us far away from the chances of making profits due to the level of risk could be termed a gambling

There are chances of winning and losing the bet money. The amount of money a gambler will win or lose on a bet can be determined in advance. in addition trading is basically speculative.

Although some consider gambling and futures trading similar in terms of risk but they are different.

Since there are many other forms of trading one could engage doing amd it will not appear to be like gambling as in doing future trading, we can decide bitcoin trading base on our choice, everything we do is on the chase after making money to profit from, we also stand the risk of loosing while doing that.

Yes, it only has similarities in terms of risks, although in everyone's view, of course, it is different, not completely the same. If a gambler is good at gambling, he should not play futures trading or vice versa, if a trader, don't try to play gambling because of course it will be very difficult to win, so both have differences. how to play but can be played by each skill.

There is no need to distinguish between the two because they both have the same risk, it's just that sometimes what distinguishes the two is how to play and the players, don't say futures trading is risky if you are a gambler, never say that gambling is very risky if you are a trader, so just play with what you have the ability of either of the two.

The risk is clearly behind futures trading and gambling. But the risk may be much greater in gambling because no one knows when we can win. But when it comes to futures trading, people can profit even though they can also get a loss. But if they keep trying to analyze the market and find the right coin, they can recover their losses. They should realize this so they don't gamble too often and instead use futures or even spot trades to make a profit.

People willing to take risks can make money, but it depends on what they do. They will make it if they can manage their finances and find a way to make money.

The primary reason we fall into these two areas is for the purpose of generating profits. Gambling and trading are both perilous, and we should conduct extensive study before investing in either. I'd rather trade because the entire process would benefit from basic ideas. Reading and understanding everything we come across helps us grow every day, unlike gambling, where we have a 90% risk of being addicted if we don't manage ourselves, I've witnessed countless cases where people turned into addicts and become more frustrated in engaging into gambling activities.

I grasp your viewpoint, yet allow me to illustrate a parallel. Picture trading and gambling as two dogs. One is a disciplined service dog; the other, a feral hound. Would we expect identical behavior because they're both canines?

Futures trading is the service dog - regimented, strategic, seasoned with some educated forecasting. On the other hand, gambling is akin to the feral hound, erratic and at the whim of fate.

Absolutely, everyone should adhere to their expertise - their 'dogs', per se. But, just as a pastry chef differs from a sushi master, despite both being in the food business, each arena requires distinct skills, risks, and rewards. Bear in mind, the market has amnesia. Don't misconstrue yesterday's windfall as today's skill.

Futures trading is not normal trading. You're trading an index that doesn't have much to do with the real thing. It takes data from exchanges that it partners with and you're betting money on that data going up or down, without owning anything.
When you trade an asset like bitcoin, you own it. When you sell it, you really get rid of it on the market. When you decide to buy futures, you buy nothing, a contract with a company, just like when you send money to a bookie. In this matter futures trading and gambling are very similar.

People are willing to take the risk and move forward as they are aiming for a much quicker result, both gambling and future trading is unpredictable there are traders who can say that they have a good overview of the possible outcome but same deal with so-called experienced gamblers who can also claim that they have good knowledge with the game or sport that they are betting with.

It's on your take when choosing or when using either gambling or future trading. If you are okay with the risk, then you can
proceed and try some skills and luck.

There are many gamblers that can gamble just to have some fun and make money in the process and there are some that focus on gambling only to make money so I would like to ask such people a question.

would you prefer to gamble in a casino and make some money or learn about futures trading and make some money?

Which one do you actually find to be more easier and I believe that futures trading is also capable of giving someone life-changing money but which one do you believe is less risky than the other?

Gambling and trading is really not that the same especially if we just view gambling as a form of entertainment it's not every day that we see ourselves gambling in some random platform. Trading cannot be viewed as entertainment because in this field, vast experience and knowledge is a requirement so that you can minimize your risks and chances to lose while gambling, yes it may require some of these mainly if you're inclined to sports betting but again, it's not the same where we have to choose.

Last but not the least, why not do both because that is very possible to do. I mean, I do that myself.

in terms of risk and the way it works between gambling and futures trading is very much different, but people out there just think instantly without studying carefully what the function of futures trading with gambling is.

if those who think gambling is the same as trading it's just that the risks are different, in my opinion that's the wrong thinking.
many of us misinterpret it all, but what is certain here we can understand that gambling is the most fun place to seek pleasure and trade like an investment.

Yes but I can say that sometimes there's no 'future' in futures. At one snap you can lost all of your money , you can be rich instantly or you can be poor instantly as well. But I rather gamble than to make futures , I tried both my money was easily gone in futures whether it is in cross or not with low leverage or not still if the market is very unpredictable if you have small margin you will be losing too much, best practice is to put stop loss.

Futures trading may be better than gambling when we look at things from the point of view of which one of those two activities has a higher chances of makes us money, however the difference is not that large, the majority of the people that try futures trading lose it all, with only a minority making a fortune in the process, which in a way is similar with what we see with gambling in which only professional gamblers and lucky people can make any money with it.

Both have their own risks, and are slightly different actually. However, as you said, sometimes someone doesn't want to learn something deeper first so it makes them easy to lose, whether in gambling or futures trading. Because that's what I experienced, always wanted good results, but was quite reluctant to study and analyze them more deeply. So that in the end the results are not in accordance with expectations and end up lost.

In the future, even though we know several strategies to overcome too many lost when the market is different from the position we take. In gambling there are also several tricks to analyze the bets, especially in sports bets or gambling skills. But in fact, sometimes we are too lazy to try to analyze more deeply and end up making it sober. Then if we lose either in gambling or trading, we blame the platform or other things. Basically someone who is used to gambling will say that this is easier than trading futures. Meanwhile, those who are used to futures trading, on the other hand, consider gambling to be much more risky. Or vice versa.

I think both of those are different things and in my eyes futures trading is very risky because if you are a gambler and you gamble with futures trading then you'll have to go with 100x leverage. The 100x leverage is far more riskier than gambling because the crypto market is very volatile and if someone is totally new in this market then he/she will end up getting the funds liquidated.

The crypto market doesn't favors the ones who are lucky while in gambling your luck play a very important role. A lucky gambler can win most of the bets, and there is some easy winning in gambling as compare to futures trading. Most of the exchanges only offer 100x or more on Bitcoin or few other coins, and those coins don't move very fast in value. In gambling a game takes just a few seconds while in futures trading it takes time to achieve positive or negative ROI.

In my opinion, trading is equal to gambling (if you are not a market maker, arbitrageur, liquidity provider, etc.). If trading could be guaranteed to make money, then everyone would do it - but someone has to lose (plus those who keep the infrastructure in the form of exchanges and other things are obliged to pay for it at the expense of traders) since this is a zero-sum game.
So my answer to both questions is: there is no difference. Therefore, it is easier to play in a casino (if you want to take risks) and not bother yourself with "knowledge" about trading.

if you go into trading without any prior knowledge, then, it is more like gambling.
But if you will equip yourself with the right tools, you will find out that your chance of getting profits is much much better.
So there's difference here on case to case basis. If you have knowledge in trading, you can get out alive.
However, if you plunge yourself in futures with your luck as a weapon, then yes, you are subjecting yourself like in gambling.

Yes, there are really things which would really be considered out to be gambling on the time that you wont really be applying any analysis into it on which it would really be that considered gambling.
On the time that you wont really be that doing something on trading then you  would definitely be losing up most of the time and its not something that recommended on doing so.
Futures is really that risky but somewhat since you could be able to still to have some technical analysis then you do really make out some less odds on losing money but of
course the market is really that unpredictable and there's no way that you could be able to handle it out and guess on where it would be going then it wouldnt really be still
giving out that assurance of success but generally two things are different to each other.

I like the comparison as the outcome for business owners is mutually equal. There are majorities of losers, and the business continues to grow, moving back to gambler/trader perceptions. There are differences and expect that interpretations will also be different from a person to a person as some might gain some from future trades while some from gambling.

The outcome of your participation relies on your knowledge and skills, but your big luck is where the exemption really differs. With luck, even you are a newbie, you can enjoy the luxury of making money.

So you say that there is not actual way to earn money out of speculation in the markets?
I mostly agree with what you have said, however I would also like to point out that there are actual people who can earn money out of trading, of course, they use their own techniques and tools which they would never reveal to anyone.

I would say that gambling and trading are similar to each other only if there is a lack of knowledge and strategy in trading, on the other hand, we all know that there is no actual strategy in gambling or sportbetting, beyond the law of probabilities.
