Default Re: Difference Between Poker and the Stock Market

[ QUOTE ]
In poker, you're betting on cards; in the market, stocks.

Can anyone come up with another? I can't.

[/ QUOTE ]

The differance between poker and stocks is poker is a zero sum game. For every winner there needs to be a loser, not so in the stock market. The market has averaged a 10% gain over the last 80 years or so. The average poker player has lost money to the house.
