In the past i also is like that, I know if trading is the best and safest way to double the money, but the knowledge I have about trading is still very minimal, so I decided to continue to gamble. But after I was frustrated because it had swallowed a lot of losses, and then in slowly I can reduce my efforts to gamble and start trading also with slowly as well. Now I'm not dependent on gambling, I can trade patiently to get a good profit.
It is good to know that you at least consider trading a better option than gambling and this is the reality also.A trader can make good profits by using his skills and improving it with time while a gambler has no such option. Trading is a lot better field than gambling.
It is not very difficult also. If you will try out this with small amount, you will grasp the idea very quickly. It is all about patience and making right decision at right time.
