I was told that the cash-out feature in casinos is the same thing as stop lose in trading.
No, that’s not the same. In trading, you have what’s called a "stop loss" to minimize your losses automatically. But in sports betting, when you cash out, it can go both ways, either you’re cutting your losses early, or you’re locking in a guaranteed profit before the game ends.
Stop loss gives you the opportunity to opt out of the trade whenever you want with your capital intact but cashouts can drastically reduce the amount you staked.... it's funny that people think that these two options are the same but they function differently... gambling and trading are not similar in terms of the results, you can only say that they both involve taking risks...stop loss is actually more safer than in my own opinion, these two things can't be the same in any way.
