Prove me wrong: Gambling is both more relaxing and entertaining than trading!

[Franctoshi]

You need to do a lot of work as trader in terms of market analysis than you would do when it comes to gambling before taking your decisions, however both involves calculation but you do more in trading.
No doubt gambling is more entertaining and a bit relaxed than trading because it already designed in such a way that it will be entertaining and fun but trading can be fun too when you understand the market and you are scooping some profits out of the market.

Considering the game display or even the casino vibes, you can easily tell that gambling is indeed more entertaining and fun to play compare to trading where you need to be more serious because in just a click, you can lose everything.

Trading needs your focus and you can’t win in trading if you don’t know how to analyze. If you want to be entertained and to have fun, then choose gambling but know that its risky too and of course no guaranteed return.

There is nothing to prove wrong because I agree with you. Gambling and trading are both ways to make money, but one is often said not to be a source of income and the other a source of income even though money can be made from it. Because Gambling is meant for fun and entertainment purpose, there is already a relaxation mindset towards it. Trading is known to be a serious business where lots of money can be made and lots of money lost in a few minutes, the thought of that already is very unrelaxing.

I've seen many discussions comparing gambling with trading. For me the very simple answer can be found if the person does the following: take 2000$ and give one person 1000$ and tell them to play for 12 months every day and then take another 1000$ and give it to another person to keep trading for 12 months. after 12 months we would see which of the two people lost all the money earlier or which two people at the end of the 12 months were left with a profit. In gambling games, as long as the person continues playing, the person will not make a profit, only the person who plays and is lucky enough to win a lot of money that overcomes all losses and then stops playing forever.

while in the case of trading, the risks are also very high, and few people really make money, they are those who trade long period charts, something like 4h or 6h candles, but at least there are people who profit, despite be a very small number of people. I believe that you are having luck in horse racing now because you probably like and know this sport well, but these are very excessive cases, in general in games of chance you lose money and do not make a profit, which is why even governments are warning that gambling should be viewed as just fun

When it comes to entertainment its true that Gambling can be more relaxing than to trading.
Just imagine the Retired people, are they still spend their time in trading? Of course not and that’s why they gamble in casinos and they are enjoying it. Though of course this also applies to everyone, gambling can be more fun than trading, and in gambling you don’t need to analyze here not unless you do sports betting.

[Shamm]

Gambing is for fun so we can not deny the fact that there are many gamblers who wants to gamble more cause they think that gamble is for happiness and Also when you got your luck then you will win too so you can get profit in it.  While in trading we need to focus on in it's a serious thing cause will aiming for more  profits. And also when gambler use his extra money to gamble then it's felt comfortable cause when he loss then that's part of the game nothing to worry cause he gamble for entertainment.

[topbitcoin]

It is clear that betting is more entertaining than trading, because in trading we only look at the numbers, and continue to make an analysis so that the activity continues to bring us profits. Because in trading, there is nothing more enjoyable than profits.

Unlike the case with betting, because there are two things you will enjoy that can give you pleasure and entertainment. The first is when you watch the game, and the second pleasure is when you win the bet.

But although these two activities both involve money, if we talk about risk, of course the risk of loss when betting is much greater than when trading. So in doing both of these things we are required to be more precise and more careful in making calculations and in making an analysis.

And talking about betting on horse racing, I have never bet there. because I do not have an interest in watching horse racing.

Yeah, Nobody wants to look on the chart 24/7 that is just full of line and bars without any thing happening. The only time trading becomes intense like gambling is when you open a leverage trading position while the current market price is hovering near your liquidation price.

Only hardcore traders find trading entertaining but the majority still preferred gambling because it’s mechanics is very straightforward and easy to play while you can have potential just like on trading.

[Vaculin]

Well, I have to agree with your own point of view OP.  Gambling is designed for fun and entertainment so it's way more relaxing on our part gambling compared to trading. Gambling gives us the opportunity to play exciting games and enjoy them, while trading focuses more on mental activities that promotes development of skills and working strategies that makes it more boring and tiring and somehow challenging on some reputable traders.

Despite of the differences, trading remains more profitable for me and gives more satisfying profits. Unlike gambling, you have to accept the fact that to gamble is to lose, that way you will find it more entertaining and profitable at some point.

Gambling is much simpler than trading, even a kid could do bet and win money. Trading is complicated since there are a lot of factors that you have to consider just in able to profit and earn money, like for example analysis, techniques, charts, etc. Plus you can say that when you do trading in also draining as you would need to consider your emotions and feelings that could affect your decision-making, if you are drained of course your physical health would be affected as well, it's like a domino effect I think.

If you make a wrong judgment in trading you will eventually lose money, which is similar to gambling, the difference is gambling is much more fun and thrilling, but it is still based on luck while for trading you can reduce the risk if you have knowledge and experience in this field. Some people prefer to watch their money grow by simply watching sports, horse racing, esports, etc. than watching charts waiting for some miracle to happen.

[PX-Z]

It does entertaining, but i doubt gambling will be relaxing in any way even trading. Well, it depends on personal preference but that's too much to consider as relaxing for me. Relaxing for me is drinking a cup of coffee while looking outside trees in my terrace, simple words i'm at peace. I won't get peace in gambling lol thinking what's my next move, if my bet will win a such lower odds, etc.

[Jaycoinz]

Well it surely is more entertaining as by doing trading you get nothing as an emotion,sure you get that feeling I find it right and I won some money in the best case scenario while by gambling you are enjoying the graphics,music and theme of the slot,when you hit the bonus round and expect to win huge it is a feeling that you never will encounter in any trading session.

Trading is a whole lot more like sport betting as in there even when you bet you don't get more entertainment than in trading,you just place your bets and wait for the outcome,just like in trading you do your calls and wait for the outcome.

I tend to believe that waiting and watching your trade is stress filled unlike enjoying your game of sport (football or basketball). I don't know if you watch the FIFA world cup final between France and Argentina, boy it was filled with lots of excitement as the two teams were playing and entertaining the football world and to think I placed a bet on Argentina to be champions which was more entertaining and funs even more as they finally defeated France after all the drama which I enjoyed very well.

When we do speak about relaxing and entertaining then we could really actually say that gambling is really that much more fitting out with this kind of criteria or approach on which it do really make out someone do able to enjoy their leisure time. Whereas if we do speak about trading then this is something that you would really be needing up to take serious considering that we would really be needing up to be wise for us to earn money.
It is something that you would really be needing up to be learnt on which considering that this is a skill which is something that you would really be needing out to acquire to go with long term approach.
Making money with trading is different with gambling.

Both would really be that the same in terms on making money aspect but when it comes to risks factor then it would really be that obvious that gambling does have more.
Luck does play an important part when it comes to gambling on which this is something that you would really be needing up on which this isnt something
that could really be that applied on trading which it do really mostly rely on analysis and skills of course.

No doubt gambling is more entertaining and a bit relaxed than trading because it already designed in such a way that it will be entertaining and fun but trading can be fun too when you understand the market and you are scooping some profits out of the market.

I believe it would also depend on the amount that you gamble. It's simple to tell everyone that gambling is not stressful, and more relaxing if the person only gambles with $1.00 for each throw of the dice, in each spin of the slot machine/roulette, or each deal in BlackJack. But instead of betting $1.00, try gambling with $1,000 per throw, spin, or deal.

Plus if you can prove that you are truly more relaxed in gambling, and that you could stop anytime you want either you're winning or losing, then you might not have a gambling problem in the casino. But you might have a gambling problem in the exchange.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Falconer]

Trading and gambling are almost the same, in fact traders can still be considered gambling if they only rely on luck. Without analysis, traders just bet their money on a coin in the hope that demand in the market will increase and that affects its value, but trading something that starts with analysis can be interpreted as not gambling.

Trading coins or tokens that have no real use is gambling. I don't see any reason why demand for such a coin would increase if not for market manipulation by some groups, but when the coin has utility then I think there are good fundamentals to expect an increase in interest.

Maybe thrilling was more appropriate than entertaining so feel free to use that!

As it seems I'm the only one betting on horse racing around here we need a bit of intro for this

So, two races out of 4 done by 12:18 GMT time and both horses I was backing, favorites,  Hunters Yarn and  Kourosh dropped their jockeys at the last hurdle, the first did it while being in the lead by 10 lengths, the second when battling for the first place, lost a bit on them and probably more to come as I'm 1 out of 5 bets right now but I didn't feel any remorse or regret or anything like this, moreover I feel really good because I saw some really entertaining races with a change in the last moment.
On the other hand, whenever I trade even if it's just small, really small positions and I lose a few $ I feel bad, I always tell to myself why I even bother to do it.

So hear me out:

With gambling, you chose on who to bet when to bet , once you do you you wait for the outcome at a fixed time!
With trading you chose your pair coins, you have to wait for the price to reach what you think it's an entry point and then set limits , watch the damn numbers even for days, even if you cash out in profit there can always be a regret you haven't kept the position opened.

Three is little that can influence a sport event outside of what you know, with coins it just takes a stupid hack or some gov going bananas on crypto out of nowhere while you sleep and you have your house full of trading alarms like you're in a police raid.

TA analysis is just Timeform, there is no difference between them , they show something that happened in the past with a coin and the form of a horse , in both cases you're looking at past performance and trying to figure the outcome.

I can't find numbers on the screen entertaining, if somebody tells me numbers and lines are more entertaining that this, I think there is something wrong with you!  

So prove me wrong (if you think I am), what am I missing?

I cannot even remotely get myself interested in trading at all. Seems like a very boring way to spend my days. With sports, I can place a bet and be entertained for 2-3 hours per game and relax and enjoy myself. Basically, I agree with your assessment that betting sports is way more entertaining.

For me, gambling is really entertaining and sometimes it's also relaxing. This is how I feel every time I gamble, I still can't say that gambling is more entertaining and relaxing compared to trading because I'm just a beginner in trading, I'm still learning about trades but when it comes to gambling I can say that it's really fun play it especially if you know how to play and you always have a limit you won't get addicted to gambling then.

[GxSTxV]

First of all, Trading has nothing to do with gambling and they are both in different industries, gambling industry online is not a very new thing with betting websites and online casinos, crypto casinos. While trading was always there from trading in call centers and banks.
But if you consider yourself trading without following any basics or strategies to open your trades, you are literally gambling with your money and depend on luck. The difference will be more than just feelings and emotions when someone is really trading will have have less emotions and understand what he's doing just like a job with more confidence.
Gambling will play on your emotions and thinking too much about luck, betting on your favorite team or playing slots you will only depend on luck and hope you win something.

If we talk about entertaining then of course, gambling will be more fun and entertaining. Traders are more likely to gamble than anyone else, good traders will understand the difference and may enjoy gambling more. So yes I agree with you on this and nobody can prove you wrong.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Like you have said, gambling is more fun, and a gambler gets more relaxed and comfortable than trading. But when it's time for trading, the trader is very serious and focused because what they are only aspiring for is profit.

I am a trader and also a gambler, and personally, while trading, there is nothing like fun because all your attention is just to read the chart, make your prediction, enter the trade, and expect your profit or loss.

But the first day I played "Crash," I know I lost a lot of money that very day, but I was just glued to the game because it was fun all together, despite the loss.

There is slight differences between trading and gambling since the both involves financial decisions. Gambling can be a little relaxing compared to trading since trading requires a lot of skills for one to make money in the market. Trading is more of technicality than gambling which is more of trying our luck. We can make money from the both depending on how we want to go about it. Gambling can be more profitable even when we don't have the full skill on the bets we are taking. We need to make sure that we go for what works for us between the two so that we don't keep accumulating loses everytime.
