Trading & Gambling. What's the difference??

I grew up in a small town near Las Vegas.. One summer, a group of teach lei decided to work part-time in a casino while on vacation. Fun for fun, они объединили свои деньги, To view, what's going to happen, if they constantly play on a machine with one lot to the jackpot. They lost about a quarter of their money.. This story shows that, what we all know so. Non-professional players will never be able to leave the casino, even with a zero balance. Free alcoholic drinks, entertainment, lounges are the only goal for non-professionals, who come to the casino to relax and lose money. The casinos are arranged like this, that the probability is always in their favor. Everything, what they need to do is wait, let people play and stuff their safes with cash. Playing casinos can be fun, if you know, how to limit your losses, and when to finish the game.

For the public, the word gambling has a negative connotation.. When it comes to professional players, most people immediately imagine boilerplate players, looking for high levels of unpredictable risk, impulsively put receipts on the line and treat money as a key factor in survival.

Amateurs or social gamblers are exclusively interested in recreation and entertainment. Smart gamblers only spend fixed amounts of money on gambling, considering going to the casino, like going to the theater, cinema, to a concert or sports game. Part of the rest is for them to get a sense of arousal., they want to meet Fortune and win the jackpot.
