I'll leave spell checking to others. I certainly wasn't intentionally trying to correct you on that. Glass houses and all that.

As to the gambling stuff, I just wanted to differentiate between games of pure chance (slots, etc.) and those where skill is involved (poker, etc.), as the latter definitely does compare to trading.

No good either. Can't be anything where the outcome is binary - either you win or you lose your whole bet. It needs to be something where you could limit your loss. I'm not a casino man, so I've got no idea what game might be like that.
