It is neither to tell which is more lucrative and which one is not. Only we can tell that if we all tried them both but the question is are we good at them?
It has if the different situation and I know that nobody has the ability to keep them both running at the same time but probably, we have to choose which one we are preferred and confident of doing. Because if you choose one of them, you are also to confirm that this was more lucrative than the other.
Surely gambling is more lucrative but not everything that is more lucrative is better. Gambling and trading are two very different prospects because while one focuses on earning money (trading) the other is meant for fun and spending money (gambling) and if you are comparing them as money-making sources, then surely gambling is not fun for you which is disastrous in the loing term.
Speaking of lucrative, the fact is that gambling is attracting. Gambling is more profitable so it is interesting. Although it is risky. The higher the profit, the higher the risk. It depends on fate. Whether work is done or not, fate determines everything here. On the other hand, the profit in trading is sometimes high, sometimes low, or sometimes loss. However, the risk is low. You have to be active in trading as physically as mentally. Above all, I am highlighting the risk from lucrative.
Gambling is not more profitable, it is just more dynamic and explosive. It is similar to saying that crypto trading is more profitable as compared to stock market. It is not true because crypto trading is just more volatile doesn't mean it is more profitable.
Gambling at 5 odds cannot be called more profitable as compared to gambling on 1.01 odds because with the higher profit, there comes the extra risk and higher chances of loss too.
