Betting or Trading
 

Hi all

Have noticed of late that some punters refer to there punting activities as trading on the horses rather than betting. Is there a difference?

Someone said to me the other day "i have been trading on the horses" rather than betting on the horses?

Cheers

I think betting = just backing horses, whereas trading includes laying them.

this is one way to get your numbers up ubetido

What do you mean? Real Deal

look at it this way if some one asked you what you do for a living and you said trading you would be more respected than if you said betting.

Why do you think they trade in stocks and not bet on them.

You posted the same thread 4 times. I was just making comment its a good way to get the amount of posts you have done up.

I tell everyone here [small town] I'm a 'futures market trader' [the future chance of my selections winning] :-))

No problem its usually the software sellers that use this term so i thought perhaps its just become the accepted terminology rather than betting.

Real deal
i didn't realize that, understand your SOH.

When I put my Saturday lotto on I tell the wife I am adding to my "investment portfolio."

That usually results in a withering look.
