Are gambling and trading really the same?

[Crwth]

I believe other people are trying to say that there is a risk, and the risk you are willing to take is like when you are gambling. That's pretty much the resemblance between the two. They are definitely different, but in terms of risk, they are the same.

I prefer trading to gambling because you have more control over risk management, stop losses, and take profits intact compared to gaming, where you depend on yourself. Sometimes, if you are in the moment, you have difficulty controlling yourself and should be honest.

I still hear from many people that gambling and trading are the same. They are just saying that since there is profit and loss in trading, there is also profit and loss in gambling. But I think that gambling depends only on luck or there is no strategy that we can use that we can guess that we will be able to profit from here. But in trading, there is a complete difference, yes, although there is profit and loss here, if you know your personal knowledge or the principles of trading, it can be easily observed that what can happen in the future or how we can profit here.

Although I know this, I would like to get some more ideas from you that will help me easily explain to those people that gambling and trading are not the same.

          Express it with your knowledge and help make it easy to understand.

I think this is completely different because gambling is dependent on your luck, otherwise you can never predict the outcome of gambling. You can lose money from your fund due to gambling. On the other hand, being a businessman, although he faces some risks, if he adopts strategies in a wise way, he can move forward step by step. He can make his path easy. If he focuses on business, he will be able to accumulate a lot of profit from there. So I think it is very important and necessary to be a businessman rather than a gambler.

Yes you are right but I still see many people saying that gambling and trading both work the same or in the same way. I basically opened this topic just to make them understand better so that I can easily explain to them that they are not the same and there are many differences.

The difference is that gambling is a place of entertainment, and many young people come here to gamble so that they can get rich quickly, but they may not know that this is not a place to get rich, but rather a place to destroy people, once you are addicted to gambling, it is difficult to get out of there, so you should never step foot on these sites, there is a possibility of losing your money every day, and on the other hand, if a trader starts investing with his knowledge and experience, he will be successful properly, it is better to have a long-term investment, then you can retain your capital and be able to accumulate profits in your fund,

While in Trading it is the opposite, although they both need to deposit money but not to play, but to invest in assets or Fiat that they will buy at a low price and sell when its price increases from the price they bought.

And if the price goes lower, it's like betting on Barcelona, you get wiped out.
It's so damn obvious everything is in both cases just luck and intuition and can go wrong at any time and still some deny that traders are just the same as gambling additcs.

Bruh, if trading would be not just luck and simple as you say why is everyone losing their shit in trading?

Everyone here says you can make money in trading because mainly the entire market is moving up, so your chances of losing money in a constant bull run are close to zero, the moment I can just buy and hold and make profits you don't have to be a genius to make money in trading you need to be an idiot in losing it.

The thing is, when the market isn't moving or when you have a less volatile market, the number of people making money drops like stone and the ones losing goes like a rocket.

Trading is gambling, get over it, there is no way of knowing the future, you can't predict the next price of BTC, you can't predict the next winner of Premier league, you can just guess it.

The essential point is that gambling is based completely on chance you can’t influence the outcome no matter how much you try. It’s like flicking a coin  But trading takes study, planning and reducing risk, In trading you can study charts, grasp market trends, follow news and adopt methods that give you a higher chance of success over time, Of course there’s still danger in trading but the outcome isn't random like gambling, It’s more like operating a business where decisions are made based on evidence, not luck.  That’s the key distinction in my perspective.

We do not need the stress of bothering yourself in trying to convince someone who does not want to be convinced about the difference between gambling and trading and how they are different from one another. Those who often try to equate gambling with trading are often gamblers who see their gambling habits as a side hustle to earn an extra source of income; they have a view of gambling as a source of income, which is wrong.

Well it's a personal opinion so I don't expect anyone to relate. So for me I think one is more like an office gambling and the other is just a gambling in the sense that one involves right risk and money capital too while the other can be enjoyed as fun by not taking it seriously. Trading is practically done as a business and it requires time and Patience like they say before mastering it but I don't really buy into that, because traders often lose as high as they win too and sometimes before you get to win you must have gone even broke and which is the same thing for gambling too

Exactly, both have their own risks, but indeed, the risk of gambling is higher compared to the risk of trading, as long as we understand how to manage risk during trading well and wisely.

Indeed, trading and gambling are quite different if we look at the process that should be done, because it starts from preparation, from risk management, asset management, pairing selection, margin selection, leverage if desired, use of SL / TP, and various other methods that can be used to prevent losing more money in trading. But we must be careful in learning it and should not be careless without various considerations and analysis.

Well, Indeed, this will not guarantee 100% always profit and never loss, no! But this is risk management and also a strategy based on analysis, at least we can minimize the risk.

Yeah, just keep calm if there are people who say that gambling and trading are the same. They may trade with no strategy, so they assume trading is like gambling. Honestly I never try to convince any people that trading and gambling are different. I think normal people must be aware that they are very different. Yes, it is very wrong that people expect to get regular income from gambling. Gambling is the right place to hope for earning money constantly.
