While I agree it is gambling, all investing is a 'gamble'. But the stock market is not classified as 'gambling' like going to the boat, racetrack, casino, or your poker game is.

I personally consider the stock market as investing. Just like I consider carefully calculated wagers on something like a race horse or a sports team.

If I put $100 on the Mariners when I am out in Vegas, I am doing it to 'gamble' and watch the game. But when I put dimes on the Cubs against the White Sox, it was an investment becuase I had a huge read on how they were playing, and knew the Cubs would sweep them.

Matter of fact, and this obviously can't be confirmed, but when I was in the WSOP, I asked my table if anyone knew where I could find odds on the Cubs sweeping the White Sox that weekend.

Yo, I am a big timer. I have put through like 300k this year, probably be at 500k by the end of the year. I can verify this if you really want. Ask Kev, he has seen my action.

As for your talk about attitude, I am not the one that has done a complete 180 like you have recently. Totally changed, for the worse

This is a great thread to me because it has to do with money management and that my friends is where I have my biggest troubles. Often if I flat a horse, I will back it up with some exactas underneath. When to flat and when to put on top of exactas has always been a tough situations for me.

YO I am a small time gambler and can prove it. My wife has seen my action and can tell you that I have burned at least 3 grand this year and will lose another 2 before it's over this year. I bet to win and win only for the action and to reduce my chance to hit a big one and have some real money to bet. God I love this game. The stock market hasn't been a gamble for me. My money has been in UTC and BofA since the early 80's.
