I've recently been using a specific betting strategy of mine, that combines an element of trading alongside being my usual selection process. In my own bubble, it's been going fairly well returns wise.
Now, myself included at times, many would definitely espouse on here that mixing trading and betting is an approach to always be avoided. But, I wondered what really is the case in terms of approaches that could mix both considerations?
It seems a little 'straw-man' to say all processes on an exchange that may mix some trading with some position betting would always be negative in outcomes.
Does anyone else use a more 'mixed-methods' approach in their trading? Or any real reasons they can't ever be mixed as approaches? I see possibilities, not all good not all bad either in being open minded.

I can see some areas that view is certainly true.
I'm still not completely sure that in some strategies where starting out with a trading view, integrating a position-based approach might not augment it successfully. I'm talking at very least hypothetically so!
Though I suppose this may be partially a semantic distinction in terms of whether you are using a 'trading-betting' hybrid or a 'betting-trading' approach. i.e. which has been the primary approach, if you have used both to gain an end profit.
