That's what some people do not completely understand that it is more easy to become addicted to gambling meanwhile in trading you will me more focus and serious because you are trading for a serious business and not for fun unlike in gambling where you are there to catch fun and also enjoy what ever profit you will get in return. Trading is not a funny game but a serious business that you must learn very well in other to be as profitable some professional trader.
Most people do not realize this because they think they can still make money in the two categories we mentioned, but under certain conditions both can have a real negative impact if not handled responsibly. Trading cannot be considered for fun because it requires the best skills to get involved in it and if someone does not have good knowledge then it is the same as gambling because there is no method or strategy that can be used.
