I know for a fact that trading has been labeled to be as good as gambling because very few people actually excel from it!
But even a choice to choose between the two, I think gambling gives the gambler the edge to win on a regular basis as compared to futures trading that has the emotion aspect attached to it which can also lead to revenge trading and total loss of funds at the end of the day...but then again, we are told that the house always wins which means everything is high risk and it's all about which of the two clicks with you.

wait a moment, but I disagree a little on the emotional aspect it seems that gambling has more influence because if a gambler who fails to manage his money in gambling he will lose his entire budget and after that get emotional and constantly chase those losses. if not, sometimes gamblers who do not have good control usually they will go all in all budgets to get big wins and all of that is usually caused by emotion.
I think that in terms of emotions and risks, both have the same risk that will end in emotions that cannot be controlled, but the difference is that gambling can give in to your budget at the same time, but futures trading will not immediately lose your entire budget.

in terms of winning regularly it seems that in gambling it depends more on luck, especially casino games.

I think there's a bit of bias here in gambling is better than trading, probably because there are more people who share that they won in gambling compared to people who were successful in trading. I mean yes, there's people out there that are rich from trading, but they don't actively share their winning trades, what more for smaller traders, unlike in gambling where it's more often that people share them. It's probably why he takes gambling as better, even if we take into account the emotional aspect (which honestly, both cases have in the first place).

People who were doing futures were also always sharing their won. The problem if you didn't know how much their margins. It's caused by they were only sharing their template that hows how much they earned from their futures.
The margin can be big or small. It's kinda different in gambling caused by you just share your actual bet whether it won or lost. You were sharing how much you are betting.
I see no difference between gambling and future. The risk is the same but the method used to get the money is kinda different. Trading is still using some informations to determine the trend.
Sometime when you are correctly predicting the trend and you will able gained thousands percents of profit in futures trading.

Gambling and futures are differ if we are seeing through method to get profit.
