  1. Only if your interpretation of gambling is leaving it to chance... thats just bad trading/gambling.... putting probability on your side is just good trading/gambling


    and ps... there's always a way to lose... always a war or a data connection that can fail or a million other of gods little jokes to be played out ;)

  8. probability has nothing to do with it. Its like if I go accross the street to buy some bread. Is there a probability that I will be able to eat bread when I get home? Am I 'gambling' in order have bread? Of course I can get hit by a truck crossing the street, but when we are talking a usable version of the word gambling. Going across the street and exchanging currency for bready objects is not viewed as 'gambling' in our society.

    In the same way it is not a realistic probability that a sperm whale will appear in our upper atmosphere and fall to its death.
