Traders win 95% of the time !!!!!

[HorseDark]

I think it’s quite clear from the video even for me!

It’s not 95% of traders in a given year that lose,
Stats show it’s generally around 75%
Not 95%

Yeah, the opening post made no reference to the contents of the video. I think he is just having a laugh/troll.

People can come up with statistics to prove anything. 14% of people know that.

Who can forget, back in the day, that 8 of 10 cats prefer whiskas.....

Well, OP's smiley-per-post stats of 6-7-7 support this opinion and are a subtle giveaway of a clear upward trend in laughter

Even if stats don't care about opinions

What's that got to do with sports trading? It's far easier to show a small profit on financials simply by investing in index linked funds and sitting on them. With sports each market expires in minutes. They're totally different.

In the video I use these as an example of how the regularly trotted out stat of 95% lose is wrong, then show some sports stats.

I didn't say it did, but nor does the title: "The Truth About Trading: Why 95% of Traders DON’T Actually Lose!"

Tbf I haven't seen a single frame of the video. Despite appearances I've got better things to do

[Blondie]

The sheer number of smileys (which, if I had a PHD in English I'd have spelled smilies) reduce the probabilities of a PHD to 0.187 for me.



(See, that shows I haven't got one either )

There's winners and winners, who knows what percentage make £1, according to Betfair only 0.5% pay additional fees as significant winners.
