Is Stock Investing Gambling?
“Fixed Odds Financial Trading - Trading the world’s financial markets with the award winning BetOnMarkets.com is fast, fun and very simple. Forex, Indices, US and UK stock trading starts from as little as 5 up to 50,000 US Dollars, Euro or British Pounds.” -Betonmarkets.com
I really enjoy investing in stocks. Countless hours of research but still, on most days there seems to be an element of chance that goes into the picks that I trade. One can never tell which way the market will move. Some days I win and some days I lose. For this reason I have always said that stock investing, is nothing more than legalized gambling except the odds are a bit better if you know how to play it right. Ask me if I gamble at the casinos and I will tell you that it is a sure way to lose your money, so I only visit Vegas for the entertainment.
What if the the financial markets had a bookmaker? Lucky for those of you that enjoy a little wagering, your prayers have been answered. You can now place bets on just about all aspects of the markets. Stocks, bonds, Yens, Dollars… you name it, you can place a wager on it. Betonmarkets.com is for those you that want to have a little fun with the financial markets, but do not want to have anything to do with the underlying securities or brokers.
It is possible that you can make an income gambling. Professional poker players have proven this, however, with Betonmarkets, you better know how to gamble as well as the financial markets. I would rate it as a good source of entertainment, but I wouldn’t bet my retirement savings on it. Have some fun and you might even win some money.
Betonmarkets is part of the Regent Markets Group and has been around since 2000. They are a legal gambling site as noted on their website. Below is more information if you are interested.
