It's funny that when I do futures trades on BetFury, I don't get as apprehensive as if I were trading on the exchange, could it be because I'm betting? I'm much more cautious on an exchange, is that the same for you guys?
I feel the same pressure either way though it's definitely a bit lower in Betfury primarily because of their promotions while exchanges offer nada thanks to which my losses are slightly lower overall.
Whatever the case, trading anywhere(Especially leverage) is a high risk, high reward game that wipes away deposits in the blink of an eye.
I do get same feeling as Forsyth Jones said, but then, I perfectly understand the reason why I do feel that ease when doing future trading on a casino and feel a bit or alot anxious (depending on my mood) when trading on an exchange.
The thing is, I've made my brain to get used to the fact that anything I am doing in a casinos isn't something I take serious, that is, either I'm gambling, or betting, I do it mostly to have fun, which means that making profit is not a priority, I am always ready and willing to accept losses, and this same feeling is also the same when I trade future on casino, I don't take it as a serious stuff.
But then, when i trade on exchange, it's a serious business, I trade with the sole goal of making profit, and to ensure I achieve this, I am always very careful of every decision I make to ensure it's the right one.
This is why I feel easy trading futures on casinos but don't feel same ease when I trade the same market on an exchange.
