Your odds at "winning at Forex" when you know what you are doing is statistically much better than a game of chance.
If you have studied fundamental analysis and technical analysis, you can fairly accurately predict which direction the market is headed, and when to get out. Compared to roulette, you have no way to "increase your odds" (except the one guy who made a very complex formula.)
There is strong evidence to support that forex is not simply gambling, since many people can do it for a living. If it was truely gambling and the odds were 50/50, you should always eventually end up back where you started (or go broke.) The key is minimizing any trades that go against you using stop-losses, and maximizing your profit. Even if you win 50% and lose 50% but your actual winnings in pip-size is larger than your losses, you win.
Yes, forex is riskier than many other forms of investments. But please don't confuse "risk" with "gambling". If you don't feel comfortable with it, go buy some bonds.
