P.S. Can a deviate "not gamble"... ?

 

All sorts of deviates I guess. If you man a compulsive gambler, not gamble? Depends on whether they are in gamlers anonymous.


Don

 

A deviant who deviates may or may not be gambling.

 

Can a person that indulges in trading "bluff", while "not gambling" ?

ES

 

OK, you gotta explain this one, Mr. ES


Don

Like answering the question with the statement P=NP?

 

Of course it's gambling. But what % of it is gambling. Is it pure gambling? I would say NO.

Poker seems to be more gambling than trading; hence the greater payout on a smaller bankroll.

Lottery more gambling than Poker, hence $1 turns into 300 million.

I have no idea what % of trading is gambling, but I will still guess it's around 45%.

If it wasn't much of a gamble, wouldn't more win? not sure

 

Trading itself cannot be gambling. Speculation is gambling. For one can trade a KNOW he will make money.

 

Yes i can, how your president would say....

If i lose, i have made a mistake. Its so simple as that....

If i dont make a mistake i will make money, my statistics gurantee it to me. All i do is to trust facts and bet on this.

I do everything else, but not gambling.

I know how to make money and i do not do bullshit.

Gambling is for retarted monkeys...........
