In this episode, we tackle this popular question. Dave polled several traders he coaches and got some surprising answers.

• How much is trading like, say, poker, or something that is even more up to chance?
• Even starting a business can be called gambling if defined purely as "risking money on uncertain outcomes."
• Does having an edge make trading less like gambling?
• In a casino, is the house "gambling" because it has a strong edge?

What's your take?
