but have you ever heard on tv that someone became a millionaire with futures trading? Honestly this is something I haven't seen yet, so it's safe to say that people don't make a lot of money trading futures,

For example, if you meant for seeing lottery winners on TV, that just makes sense to see since in the first place, national lotteries are televised therefore you will really see people winning here compare obviously to winners in doing Future trading. Aside from that, Future trading is like slowly but surely a road to having a million compared to a lottery or any related gambling, that in just one shot, if lucky, will have a big win instantly.

Anyhow, it is just a matter of self-preference. Most see that Future trading is critical and the interest is not really there to learn while gambling, just place money, wait, then the result is already there. No need for any technical knowledge or so on.

We can also consider the fact that most people want an easy win without having too much effort for it.

I don't see any difference in the concept though,future trading you have it in the word,future means you are predicting the future the same as people gambling are trying to do so fundamentally I don't see any difference between the two.Sure some people can argue that by trading they have analysis,news and market insights before deciding on a trade but isn't the same for sport betting where people have the same tools available and as such both activities will make people lose money in the end as no one can predict the future accurately in the long run,sometimes they may hit it but a lot more other times they will miss it.
