As soon as the language evolves from today's wording. Let me know.
-I am letting you know. Nobody considers eating dinner or going to bed gambling (or a gamble etc.). Just because something carries risk does not mean that it is gambling. You can try to simplify anything in order to make something work or to make sense, but that does not mean that it will be correct.

Just to remind you, also, that this thread is for discussing prop firms, not for debating language.

I hope they don't change the definition. If they do, it means the government has an agenda behind it They have already changed the definition of vaccine and gender to fit the agenda. 90% of the world didn't even notice.

{quote} sole reason I switched from poker to trading was scalability. Online poker market got smaller and the field got tougher over the years. Requires much harder work than trading and it is not that scalable.
I did as well. A lot of online poker players now do the daily fantasy sports. Poker was shut down because it is gambling, with the argument being it is not a game of skill. It is, indeed, a game of skill, with better players holding an edge over inferior players.

yup, and nowadays there is way more stupid money in trading than in poker - so, why not take it?
I mean, even prop firms that operate as Ponzi schemes pay you- a legit trader, by taking the money from inferior traders.

Yeah that started when a POW's hero label was changed. To some moron's view. It's amazing when one is wrong, they change the subject. Oh well, I am used to misdirection.

-Had the world governments changed the definition to match your idea of what gambling is, then nearly everything would be illegal and fully-controlled by the government in most countries. That sounds pretty moronic to me.

Dude your talking in circles. The definition has never changed. You keep running down rabbit holes trying to change the narrative. The risk of anything, in hope of gain is gambling. It has nothing to do with government, street crossing, or whatever else you throw at the wall. Your throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks. I got no problem gambling, speculation, investing, or whatever you feel better calling it. It may be taboo to use the word in some homes, or religions. Maybe a way, to keep the wife off ones ass. No matter how you look at it. Everyone does it. All cultures do it. From risking some of the wheat harvest seeds. To plant, instead of eating them. To buying prize stud goat to sire your heard. Drought can kill your seeds. You new goat may drop dead before reproducing. There is always risk, there's always uncertainty. That is gambling.

Ya I tell everyone that what I am doing is a form of gambling in order to pre-empt them telling me that I am gambling.

-No, I am just responding to your idiocy. You derailed this thread with an off-topic post, trying to say that everything is considered gambling. You think that any activity that carries risk is considered gambling, and since everything in life can carry risk, then everything in life is considered gambling. This is completely ignorant. For the record, you are the one that mentioned walking across the street, so you can keep your pasta.

Better for you to take your delusional ramblings to a different thread. Not even sure what your purpose is here. And with 92,000+ posts, I would even question what your purpose is in life.

anything holds risk in life>therefore is a Gamble. why is that so tough to understand? can t u express ur point of view without trying to bellitle others?
or how u think is the Right way of thinking?
also in 3 years u have 4 times more posts them me... and i ve 7 years as a member listed on this site. ofc this shows nothing, but just to point out how meaningless ur insult is.
i get that most people, including myself don t like to refer to trading as gambling simply for the amount of work and screen time an nervs and failures u put in, but trading or speculation is a gamble cos there s no certainty. and nothing in this life is 100%, that was sorta the point.
anyways, stop taking things so personally dude. cheers

-Trading is gambling, for many people. I do not take issue with that. People have their own opinions about that; I do not care. But saying that everything else in life is also gambling because everything carries risk or could have an uncertain outcome is just stupid.

-If you want to say that you are taking a gamble as a way to say that you are taking a risk, fine. But to say that it is gambling is not accurate. There is a clear difference, and even the laws that you abide by would agree. Why is that so tough to understand?

-Agreed. I think, most failed and inexperienced traders are probably just gambling. But if you know your odds (or win-rate) and you can consistently and repeatedly reproduce the same, successful results, then you are no longer gambling, you are working a statistically-proven system.
