would you prefer to gamble in a casino and make some money or learn about futures trading and make some money?
I prefer trading over gambling as a means to make money. The level of access is easier, and there are fewer legal risks. We can engage in trading anywhere and anytime, as long as we have smartphones and internet access.
Which one do you actually find to be more easier and I believe that futures trading is also capable of giving someone life-changing money but which one do you believe is less risky than the other?
In my opinion, futures trading is fairer than gambling in casinos. On the other hand, technical analysis (TA) and fundamental analysis (FA) can be employed to increase the win rate, and I observe that more people can sustain themselves through trading as a profession. With gambling, I find that luck plays too significant a role and can be directly influenced by the casino.
If you know how to do a TA, then apply it to that context of the OP, they are two totally different areas, the only thing that brings them closer in comparison is the risk.
It's like comparing water polo to football.
