I have never indulged myself in gambling much in my life. However, I have gambled several times due to greed. Gambling makes me feel miserable. Earlier when I started gambling on a site with 10 dollars and after making some profit, I hoped to double the profit. But instead my wallet got empty. After that I didn't dare to gamble anymore. Also lotteries on various occasions, I have never gotten anything but disappointment from them. Instead I prefer to invest.
Well, you got the right choice and I did it right now as well. I did stupid decisions before just because of gambling, that is why if ever I am gonna place any bets again I'll be putting limits to it and will surely spend extra money on it.
If they make me choose between gambling and making investments, well that's how things are, I prefer to invest because I know it's a way to make money in the long term and if you're lucky, well, in the short term, then these types of things are like that. The reasons must be seen before making or making any decision, I have always said something, as a player, as an investor you must always know your role very well, you cannot be a player in investment, nor can you invest in a game, they are co-concepts. They are very different and if they are confused the only thing that can bring the person are losses, nothing more.
There are many who trade, but they trade as if they were gambling, guessing and waiting to do it, if I trade I do it because I did my analysis, and according to that I test, in the experiment it is known that everything is totally carried out by the luck, if there is good luck I win , because sometimes the strategies no matter how many one knows do not work.
