    damn can't find the link, was a good read - loads of peeps starting making large bets and then someone comes in and tells them they are all much more exposed than they think they are and well it's quite entertaining!

    good example of someone betting on something they don't understand and getting burned!

        I made a mistake recently when wanting to looking into exchange markets just to learn about them and see if it was something I'd enjoy doing but used barclays and they don't have a demo version - bill came through recently that I'm being charged £12 for a £9 trade, that will teach me to not read things properly but its all a learning experience

        the only time I ever made money from gambling was through playing perfect hand black jack but its not really the same thing
