We see that many people say that gambling and trading are the same. If that were the case, then what we see is that trading is based on a person's own knowledge. To become a professional investor, he has to overcome various obstacles and acquire various skills and find his success. And he has to pay attention to various social media and he has to gain a lot of knowledge so that when he wants to invest in a currency, he can analyze it well and invest in it, and so that he can profit from it.
But I think gambling is completely different from investing. Because it depends only on your luck. And as far as I know, there is no specific strategy that can be used to make a profit here. Maybe some profit can be made based on some time but most of the time you have to lose here and every bet puts you at risk.

sports gambling is often played with strategies as well as games that involve cards while luck is generally needed there are some gambling games where you absolutely need some knowledge and analysis in order to succeed
but i also do not think trading and gambling are the same only for the fact that trading is not done for entertainment unlike gambling

They do actually have similiraties like taking risks but trading really needs technical analysis and fundamentals and the only advantage is that it can be a very good source of income if you are on the right path and knowledge. Gambling especially sports related games are sometimes predictable but still you need luck to win.

I think trading and gambling are not the same. Trading needs learning, research, and good decisions. You have to study the market to make money. But gambling is mostly about luck. You can win or lose fast, and there's no sure way to win. So yeah, both are risky, but trading is more about skill, and gambling is more about chance.
-
I don't get your point OP, are you comparing gambling and trading or investing which of them. You should understand that investors are not traders and traders cannot be called investors. Back to the OP, trading and gambling has somethings similar to each other but they're not the same, because gambling is strictly based on luck, despite all your analysis if your is not on your side, you will lose your bet. Making profits in gambling is by chance. Trading is strictly on knowledge acquired to make profits.

Difference with trading or investing? Because obviously gambling and investment are very different.
This has been discussed several times actually...but my view is clearly different because gambling is almost a victory of luck not because of any skill or strategy - even if there is a poker game that relies on skill then the rest still relies on luck.
-
Gambling and trading are off similar resemblance although many other people would argue opposite saying trading is more preferable as it's suppose to give better results than gambling but if am asked I would even say the two are even the same thing because there is absolutely no certainty to any of them although traders still would say that trading is more technical and can be useful but for me I haven't seen anyone who can make consistent money from either that would make me consider them differently.
-
I don't think we need lots of debate on these topics because it is just a common sense gambling fully depends on luck and where trading is depends on skill even though some people were saying also that trading is also depends on luck but it wrong there says because they don't know the actual trading analysis.
So another facts what I can say here trading is a things what we can choose as a career but gambling is only for entertainment so we can't choose it for our career so those are the real difference between trading and gambling.

Gambling cannot be in any where relatable to Trading, they are two different things and comparing them is not even making any sense in all ramifications. Gambling are mostly based on luck and not about how good your analysis can be even though it is important to analyse to have a more probability of winning a game than not even analysing at all.
The trading market needs a lot of knowledge to be better at it and to have the more chances of having and accurate predictions on the directions you’ve analyzed the market to trail on. When you have the knowledge of trading, you’ll begin to see consistent results overtime which will give you more confidence and confidence in your trades to win more.

If a person has financial knowledge and trading experience, then he can trade, but of course he will need knowledge related to trading. In the case of gambling, a person has to place bets only depending on luck. In the case of sports betting, there is some value in skill and experience, but there is no certainty. Even after doing good research, there is a possibility of losing a bet at any time. That is why there is a lot of difference between gambling and trading.

It is always surprising to discover that there are people who still see gambling and trading as the same thing. Proof that there are lots of people who are misinformed, and sometimes I would like to say we owe them the responsibility to help them get out of this ignorant state but the problem becomes that some of them are obstinate with their idea and would rather pick an argument with you than listen to what you have to say with an open heart. I say this also because some of the people that think gambling and investing are the same have also heard before the difference between both of them, but because of their obstinate nature, have have refused to change their mindset and perspective on it.

Gambling trading share a real similarity, they are both risky in that things can easily go sideways. And also they both involve putting in something of value(money) in exchange for a higher profit or percentage. To be real with you guys, gambling is a form of skill in that people pay each other to acquire the skill just like it is in trading.
I had a friend of mine who wanted to go into gambling just that he didn't have the knowledge of it, he was rich guy of coz, so he had to pay people to teach him the secret to earning high in gambling, infact as I am talking to you right with you, he is a pro in gambling. So both trading and gambling are both skills which can be attained monetarily.

First of all trading and investing itself different things.
Trading is usually said when someone is doing intra day trading which is to make some quick money and the same reason goes for gambling which is why some people relate both as same yet not entirely.
Gambling is purely luck based whether its casino games or sports betting, trading needs part luck and mostly analytical skills to predict the market movements.

Trading and gambling are two completely different things. Trading is an activity that involves investing in various currencies to make money. It involves buying and selling financial assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies with the aim of making a profit. And it involves analyzing and investing in a currency based on various strategies and your own knowledge. And on the other hand, gambling is an activity where one takes risks in the hope of potential profit, but without any reasonable expectation of profit. And I think there is a big difference between the two.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Making profits in gambling is by chance. Trading is strictly on knowledge acquired to make profits.
I would say trading is luck based too. You can make your trades with all tools you have (ta, and what not) but still it's end of it's day luck as these tools don't guarantee 100% success; if they were to everyone would be rich.

It is true that both seem to involve risk, but the methods and intention behind the actions are significantly distinct. Saying that trading is all about weaving a lucky moment it would be incorrect since trading involves calculations, analysis of tendencies and a very carefully selected risk. The corresponding points generated the results can support any decision made in trading for several purposes or reasons. However, gambling depends on many chances and very often does not have a subject to prognosis. Both can be profitable depending on the context while the techniques involved and the ways through which it occurs may differ in trading we are in a position to have a better control and risks involved.
-
The difference between trading and gambling is clear. Though they may appear similar on the surface because both involve risk, money, and the possibility of gains and losses, they are clearly distinct. Trading requires a high level of skill to be profitable. A trader who is consistent, knowledgeable, and disciplined can profit from trading in the long run.
On the other hand, in gambling, even when the gambler has demonstrated great knowledge and conducted extensive research on the games, winning is not guaranteed because gambling is designed in such a way that it is always unpredictable and based on luck, with no room for skill because the odds are always stacked against the gambler, implying that the bookies are ahead of the gambler.

Gambling and trading are two different things. They are not related to each other in any way. based on my understanding Gamble means play for chance or based on luck. But, Traders trade based on competence, strategy, risk management, and maximising of profits.

There are always some risks and returns associated with trading and gambling which has led some people to think that trading is just like gambling, but as far as the structure is concerned it is not. Simply, in trading we are not barren of guides to make a wise decision such as using technical analysis, historical data showing the prices fluctuations, and even the user may be aware of the conditions in the market that leads to the prices. This gives the Akan stage a great advantage since it allows for correction and changes whenever the outcome is not as desired. In gambling however, most games are very unsuitable for the players as the main intention is to defeat the player every time. It is natural that the result can make the feeling that successfully gambling is felt to be more difficult to control even if we have armed ourselves with knowledge about the rules of gambling.

It is the risk involved in trading that makes people even consider trading as gambling. The potential to lose money is the same as it is in gambling but then decisions in trading are important to influence trading and guarantee profit. Like you siad, a trader can consider historical data, price fluctuation and changes in the market structure to make informed trading decision and even make adjustment to these decisions if the outcome is not as expected but when it comes to gambling no kind of decision or strategy can make him win. However, what gamblers do is to protect their finance from ruin by trying not to chase losses or gamble will an amount they are not prepared to lose.

You are partly correct though trading is more or less similar to gambling since both activities have risk involved. In trading, there are still options such as stopping, waiting, as well as, changing strategies depending on the gathered information. Both may often give a reflection of the next step even when one lose it. In gambling, there is no certainty, and there is no factor that gives a better chance of a guess. In other words, trading is not about trying to be as close to the truth as possible but of how far you can limit the outside influences and emotions within one self. It is where the most apparent variation can be observed and that is why trading is one thing that cannot be mastered totally.

Yes, there is a lot of difference between trading and gambling. Again, many say that the two are the same. But they should probably think that gambling depends on the luck of the gambler. It is never possible for him to profit with any strategy and his own knowledge. And if we look at trading, it never depends on his luck, but he has to create his own knowledge from the basic things that are in the training. If someone enters trading for the first time and does not have any idea about it, then he will definitely lose there. And if he enters gambling, whether he is new or old, he can profit from his luck there. So I mean there is a lot of difference between winning and trading, which is never the same.

I also believe that trading should be done knowingly, with knowledge, without knowledge it is just giving in to luck and in trading it is not good to jump into that option, in games it is different, the game will always depend mostly on luck, even if we have the best strategies of all it is not a guarantee that we will win, I think that is the biggest difference between trading and games.
-

It is very small people who said that trading is the same as gambling. As far as I know, most people agree that they are different. Everyone knows that gambling is luck-based thing, meanwhile trading is knowledge-based thing. It is totally different, gambling doesn't need anything (just prepare money and play the games).
But I think gambling is completely different from investing. Because it depends only on your luck. And as far as I know, there is no specific strategy that can be used to make a profit here.
True, most gambling games rely on the luck. But there are some gambling games that need specific skills. However, they also need luck to win it. For any gambling games, luck is surely needed. yes, there is no certain strategy once the luck has a bigger role.

It is correct to say that trading is mostly about getting information hence the need to commission a thorough research. If there is no relevant foundation then the decisions made turn out to be more of relying on guess work and thus counts as being a negative impact. Trading is more controllable and more meSPAM BANble when it comes to risks which differentiates it from games where even if much of a strategy have been put up, the final result can barely be influenced. Hence, in the case of trading, it becomes mandatory to putting the effort in order to gain the knowledge that is needed to achieve long-term success, it is opposite to the games where luck considerably matters.

Knowledge will always be the basis for trading, Without knowledge there is nothing, that is why trading makes the difference with respect to the game , the Game if knowledge , Strategies of everything can be applied, but basically trading if the bases of technical and fundamental Analysis are met and all that is translated into knowledge People should not see the game the same as trading nor trading as the game because people who have experienced such things, because they lose money.

I agree. No trader can make good trading decisions without knowledge, as knowledge is the foundation of successful trading. There are numerous factors involved in trading, so in order for a trader to profit from trading, he or she must first learn the fundamentals of trading.
This is significant because making a profit becomes easier when the trader understands the trading. I believe that knowledge is what distinguishes trading from gambling, as no amount of knowledge can result in profit in gambling.

However, we have seen that there are many who treat trading and gambling in the same way and in many places. We almost all know that trading is something that someone who is new to it or does not know any strategy can never make a profit or face losses. And even if someone is new to gambling, they can make a profit or lose, but it depends entirely on luck. And I have seen posts about this in many places where they say that gambling and trading are the same and there is no difference between them. But I think those who say this have no idea about crypto currency or they have never analyzed it inside. They may or may not know that if they invest here, they may or may not make a profit depending on luck. So I think if someone wants to talk about a topic, they should analyze it well or pay attention to whether it is really correct or not.

You're right. Knowledge is one of the matters that differentiates between trading and gambling. In trading, we can't do it properly if we have no knowledge. We even can't make the right decision if we have no knowledge. How we can choose trading strategy if we have no knowledge? We also can't do analysis, both fundamental and technical analysis. So, knowledge is a must in trading. Meanwhile in gambling, we can play the games without good knowledge. We even don't need any knowledge when we play the luck-based games (slots, dice, roulette, lotteries). We only need to understand how to play it and it is quite easy.

Well those who believe in that have to be Aware that the moment the system gives them a clear welcome to reality, that is to say if they see trading as if it were a game then they will lose money , and well that will be a sufficient warning of loss , then I think that reality will make them think differently because nobody likes to lose money, I think that will be the only way that you will start to Change the way you trade, and those who only think that the game is based on pretenses will realize that it is just luck.

Trading is knowledge based, without having knowledge on how to use the trading sites/tools available on these sites, you simply can't trade, while on the other hand, gambling is different, as it is solely on luck. Luck runs the gambling sections, there can be some games that one will know so well, and might have received medals for it, but on the play with someone else, who is probably new in the gaming system might become a winner and everything changes.
Gambling requires luck and
Trading requires knowledge, though, there can be some cases where luck will be required to win some big fish.

Anyone can trade but will you be profitable is the question that you ask yourself. Gambling is a luck based game and trading isn't a game but a skill which you need to learn properly for you to make profit in it. I don't believe that there's any form of luck in trading because if you don't know what you are doing as a trader, you are gambling with trading at that moment.
