Pointless Topics

Says the rich white privileged bloke who made his dough working in the gambling sector?! Get off your shetland pony.

You do make me laugh quite regularly on how far from reality you seem to be. Granted some time you make fairly impressive steps towards being a ‘woke bloke’ but jeez ma man.

I lost all my money gambling and am an advocate for promoting it responsibly because it can be fun for a lot of people.

Forex trading is dangerous.

Also, welcome to the forum. The more the merrier.

Am happy to be put in my place but I can assure you I work very hard on trying to be a good person despite maybe being outspoken or occasionally out of touch.

If I’m not in the top 5 of posters that lurkers hate, I’m doing something wrong!

Thanks mate.

Hugo, genuine question. Why is having a little bit of fun at the bookies OK, but having a bit of fun on forex bad? Going to be honest, I don’t do either (apart from a few 50p bets at the dogs about 5 years ago).

Although I did come up trumps a while ago on Bitcoin. A mate told me to put a few quid in and forget about it for 6 months, I’d just had a Christmas bonus so put £200 in and I made a nice lump. Took it out and I’m still using that lump for the odd holiday :slightly_smiling_face:
I have no idea of the pros & cons of cryptocurrency except that I made a few quid. I think I’d have really struggled to come up trumps if I’d walked into Ladbrokes with £200 in my pocket.

Because you can’t lose more than your initial deposit.

When you put a trade in you can be liable for more than you have in an account. You’d get a margin call but yeah, I know of people who’ve leveraged more than they can chew.

You’re in the top 5 of posters that posters hate!

That IS a joke by the way, just couldn’t leave it unsaid.

Ah right. Sounds like it has the potential to go pretty pear shaped.

You have to answer a couple of questions and pass a credit check to open a forex trading account because of this.

Easiest way to think of it is that you can put £100 in a trade but your balance won’t stop at £0, you can wake up and your position puts you at -£1000.

Yeah, it’s volatile and fun as fuck but it will eventually get you as it does 70-80% of people.

I think they actually have to put that in the bottom of the adverts.

You’re deffo in the top posters people DM me about to laugh at, jokes!

It looks like a good way for the brokers to make a lot of money with minimal risk, while the punters get rinsed.
I’m out lol

Yup! At least I saved one person haha.

Bookies also dangerous though!

First hand experience.

People do like to snigger behind the scenes, that’s fine, it’s kinda fun again in here, somehow got a bit of edge back, was far too polite for too long.
