I would say the stock market more represents a poker game with hundreds of thousands of participants. There is no house, it's a free for all, and day traders simply don't have the capital or manpower to survive.

In poker there is a dealer: you are expected to tip the dealer if you win. In the stock market you pay the dealer win or lose.

  In poker you pay the rake, win or lose.

    Depends on the rake system, in timed games this is the case but more common they take it from the pot so only the winner pays. But typically you win some pots even in a losing session so it's a pedantic point.
