Day trading may qualify as gambling. Buying and holding for long time should not.

Totally agree. Day trading is basically sports betting for finance people.

Sort of. It’s more of a scam for rich people to get richer. They let little people pretend it’s a fair game.

If you think stocks are only for rich people you’re actually financially illiterate.
2 monthsSay a hundred bucks? I sincerely hate losing money, so if I gamble, it’s always with a very limited amount of money, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Yeah same. Once I visited Niagara falls with my bro and we were kind of into poker at the time so we each took 100$ and went to the casino. Got fleeced by a texan looking old guy with a cowboy hat then we went back to our hotel lol. I have many vices but apparently gambling isn’t one of them.

Was mainly making a cynical joke. That said, my 401k probably does represent the largest gain or loss I’ve had in a week or month; probably even a day, given how wildly the markets can sometimes fluctuate.

Sure, but daily changes in account value are not money lost. Sry for being too serious but there’s something about characterizing responsible financial planning as gambling that annoys me.
$20
That was my absolute limit to waste on gambling, the very few times I went to a casino. In 2000 I went to a “riverboat” casino in Lawerenceburg, IN to play slots and ended up winning $250. Which put me at a net positive for all the gambling I’ve ever done.
That was the last time I ever walked into a casino.

How could you not know when your son’s bday is? And why would you bet on it?
$3. Lived in Reno for decades. Would take a buck and go play the penny slots to get free drinks and get plastered with buddies.

I spent 2 years doing casino revenue audits. The amount of money the high rollers would loose in one night was disgusting, we are talking 7 figures.
What blows my mind the most is how the math works out in the long run. A $1 slot machine could have a $100,000 prize but you would have to play it 200,000 time to hit the jack pot. You don’t play against the house, you just give them your money.

40€
It was a poker tournament with friends, 10€ buy-in.
I got drunk and bought in another 3 times, then lost it again from making dumb drunk bets.I never gamble with serious money cause I know how it would end. I’m susceptible to addictions.
OMG! We might have a winner. Well… for the question. That is a ton of money to lose.

Proud to say I’ve never used a pokie machine, but I’ve lost money on things that could be labelled ‘gambling.’ I was doing quite well on the stockmarket, I had a bunch of shares that were just about to push me significantly into the green, but then trump shat all over it. I lost about $100 USD in the end, which isn’t too bad.

I’ve been to Vegas once. I played 4 quarters in slots and on my last one, I won $1.25.
I stopped while I was ahead.
