I know its a rather general question with an obvious type of answer, but theoretically, how is it different, because in either case your gambling money, either you win some or you lose some…

Some people view it as the same, one of the main differences though is that if you do your research you will know what the company is going to do. While you will never figure out what the casino is going to do.

The Stock Market is “fancy” gambling…

The games involved in gambling, especially the slot machines, are designed so that very few people will win, and not very often. When investing in the stock market one is making an informed decision as to where to put their money, and if you do your research right, just like the other guy who answered before me said, you can know what is going on with the company you are investing in.

Well, when you buy a stock, you’re actually buying a piece of the company…so you theoretically own a little bit of their staplers and copier machines and inventory and buildings and whatever else. You’re betting that the company will continue to make money and beat out its competitors with new ideas and products.

With gambling (like in poker or in a casino), you’re not really doing that…you’re just betting on random chance (in the case of slots or roulette) or you’re betting that your skills in poker over the long run are better than the other people at your table.

Simple answer :

Gambling is illegal , Stock market Aint !!!! { or it was..lol }

the think about stocks is that you are not gambling youre money away because you are investing your money and the theory is that you need only cash it in when the time is right !! there is also a strategy involved in share markets as well !!

But gambling is pretty primitive : You win some , you lose some and its all about luck !! its also a one hit wonder and one time affair !!

9 times out of 10 you’ll always get a return on the stock market. Your money and enjoyment lasts longer aswell

I would liken the stock market, not to gambling, but to a pyramid scheme. It works as long as people keep putting money in. If everybody pulls their money out of a stock, then the stock tanks and the ones who sold last lose.

Wow. I wish I had Jaydanisstud’s fortune.

Everything in life is a “gamble” per se. Understand though when investing is construed for fun, excitement or serious investment with guaranteed returns. Then it is referred to as “PLAYING” the stock market.

Knowledge and research can go into smarter marketing whereas the outcome of (casino, lottery) gambling in moreover in of itself depends moreso upon chance or “skill”. Either way investing is often referred to as an indirect form of gambling.
