The problem with this poll and this thread is that a lot of people don't seem to know or accept the actual definition of the word "gambling," prefering to assign a personal meaning to it that corresponds to a chosen and internalized narrative. Accordingly, there is an apple-and-orange problem here.

Perhaps it would be wise to start over and begin by defining the word and building from there. Then we could all at least understand what we are either agreeing or disagreeing about.
 
I do not see a problem...

I do not see a disagreement..

What I see are points of view.

P.S. Things are not always as they seem to appear.

Please vote.

I saw a movie on the tube the other night ("Knowing" I think the name of it was with Nicolas Cage)...this guy and his son had this piece of paper placed in a time capsule that was filled with numbers.

Anyways...

These numbers turned out to be dates and coordinates of disasters to happen in the future.

Imagine if all of the answers to come were known now...would we need God?

Does God hear the prayers of the "not gambling" trader who is sitting at his desk with sweaty palms waiting to discover the outcome?

Does the desire of the "need to know" have any bearing on the degree of "not gambling". Does knowing reveal any acceleration towards the truth?

Please find yourself Trader...and VOTE
 
There is a lot of mileage left in this machine ☺

Brass, Here is some questions for you.

Does the age of the trade accelerate or decelerate risk as it is left on?

Does exposure (time in trade) to the market introduce risk? And if your answer is yes then why?

Is scalping more or less "not gambling"...is it more...or is it less?
