Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk.

When talking about more opportunities to make money, I would say that it is better to choose trading or investing than gambling, but here it is not a matter of how much profit we can get, but the pleasure and satisfaction that we get when gambling so that addiction is more difficult to stop when a gambler can enjoy these two things.
Gambling has the risks of trading and investing also has risks, but on the other hand, gambling provides its own pleasure and satisfaction that we cannot possibly get from trading or investing, so there are no words to waste money as long as we have what we have.
And from this pleasure and satisfaction, it can be very difficult for someone to stop gambling.

In both ways you get positive emotions when win(get profit) and negative when lose(money). In both situations we risk money and play the game. I think that difference between gambling and trading is in the difficulty. When we read the rules for some casino game - it is easy to understand. When you begin trading and try to understand when buy and when sell - it is really difficult to understand fast.

It all depends on the basis and experience of each person, whether they are more knowledgeable in trading or gambling.
Both are equally at risk but in trading the risk can be more limited because we can see price statistics when to sell and when to buy and the losses are not in total, in contrast to gambling where we risk a certain amount of money on luck to win whereas when we lose all the money we have at stake will be lost.
I am someone who loves to trade crypto and also likes to gamble for fun so have a decent understanding of both.

Of course it is so. But if we talking about some common experience - trading needs more special knowledge. You have to know a lot for trading but in gambling you can start fast for casino games the rules are really simple.
And i can`t say that in trading your risks are lower than in gambling. Using money management you can control you budget. I try to lose small sums both but i can`t say that trading has less risks than gambling.
