Poker brings more money than Forex

I found an interesting little article on the Internet. Publish it with his comments.

Scientists of an Australian research center conducted an interesting experiment. As part of the experiment were monitored for poker players and participants in trading on the Forex. The results have surprised not only researchers, but participants in the program.

In the experiment with 200 participants, who for months have played on Forex and poker. All received the same starting amount equivalent to 500 U.S. dollars. 100 people playing poker, as many traded on Forex. The level of competence of all participants in the experiment was approximately the same. Poker players were divided into two groups - 50 people playing with real opponents and 50 people playing online.

Researchers interested in just two factors: the moral and material satisfaction of participants from the process.

First, researchers wondered what attracts players? 80% of respondents - adrenaline. "When the game is in full swing, and you realize that not everyone is able to control your nerves on edge, adrenaline increased too ... Here is a great feeling. It does not matter how much is at stake, an important process," - shares his feelings one of the participants. And after some thought, said: "While winning large sums of money in times nicer."

In the course of the game and trades of the participants to control the level of adrenaline. Interestingly, the trading on Forex more adrenaline. (I can confirm - the adrenaline increased too!) In subgroups of poker players fluctuations have not identified. And played with real partners, and conducting the game in online mode have approximately the same dose of adrenaline.

But one pattern was detected. Poker players (92% of participants) after the game felt moral satisfaction, the results of the game has little effect on the emotional state of man. Played on the Forex (96%) after the auction feel irritability, nervousness, even if the bid were successful. Strange but true. (Nothing strange, after such a release of adrenaline, nervousness naturally increase. Though I myself am to 4%. Especially after the successful bidding:))

Sensation has presented the researchers, the material side issue. During the study all groups of players (without exception), and won, and lost. What was surprising scientists, after counting the average of data - percentage of winnings in poker turned out to be significantly higher than those traded on Forex! (Not surprising - for successful trading on the forex, you must have a much greater knowledge and experience) 84% of all winnings had it on poker! (Diagram № 1) On average, every poker player has increased start-up capital by 42%. Trading on the Forex participants in the experiment yielded only 12% of average income. (Graph number 2) Is it worth paying a bit more than an adrenaline rush and damaged nerves? The results shocked and participants .

Between groups of poker players (real and virtual), specific differences were observed. Players who played with real opponents, as noted, plus the opportunity to continue communicating with a partner on the game after the game. Online players pointed to the possibility to get emotional discharge and profits without leaving home. At the very process of playing virtual reality or a partner has no effect.

And finally a bit of myself. As a person whose identity the two disciplines, I also spent a similar experiment. The result of a few other. With equal investment, the difference in income received during the week amounted to 15% in favor of poker. But it is worth noting the experience of trading on Forex I have no more - were associated with loss of my mistakes. Including statement issued in the article title, rather controversial.

By the way in poker and forex have much in common. The other day will put an article on this topic.

Good luck!
