Try binary options, check the market and make fast profit. Just imagine - make profit in 1 minute 
Making profit in a minute get lost by the falling minute. Just now lost 20$ on sports betting which I earned little by little. I feel not to engage in gambling sites anymore, sometimes it looks to be making us fool.
I do not call betting a way to make profit. In long term, you will lose. If you just want to have fun, it is ok to gamble.
i guess this is a semantic issue. i think of any trade as a "bet" -- a bet that the market will move one way or the other. the question is, do you have an edge, or are you gambling? only trade if you are EV+ imo.
Because it is though lol.
And youre right what you said, a "bet" is a risk form of the unknown of what the result maybe but is okay with the outcome of good or bad lol. Most people dont think that through on what you mentioned with "edge" and other forms to mitigate the risk lol.
