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.
Trading does require more general experience in analyzing and also determining the right position to buy or sell but experience from trading is very useful for everyday life too because we can be more focused, consistent and also patient.
Moreover, in trading there is no risk of addiction and it is different from gambling which has long-term effects of gambling addiction where addiction is very dangerous for anyone who experiences it.
If think that gambling is riskier in all forms of risk, but that is a choice, so no one can forbid it.
