Casino is an apt comparison. Even with continual futures contracts, the profits for those offering them are probably higher than current futures. No roll yield, but the carry costs could be much higher over time for those of us who use the contracts as longer term leverage.

I don't know how they are taxed either, but that could be yet another concern.
