i do investing for a living and i think that investing and gambling are really the same thing. from my limited experience i would say that all good investors/traders would make good gamblers. but that not all good gamblers would make good investors. in order to be a good investor you need to intuitively know the important concepts in gambling. but it doesn't necessarily translate the other way and i say this because i see a lot of super smart people in the investment field doing and writing about strategies that won't allow them to beat the market, mostly because they are too complicated and cerebral for their own good. warren buffett writes about this a lot.
