Correct in terms of risk both of them for me has the same level. You choose gambling because i think you are already comfortable in gambling rather than investment but as i always advice gamble only what you can afford to lose
Gambling is good if you have no intention to do it the whole day and you are not aiming to earn for a living with it, investment is good too, coz you can earn big ROI depending on the terms of the program, the only downside of it is when you start investing and the site owner is already planning to run... So both are risky if you don't do it without planning...
You are right sir maybe this is also the main reason why most of the people choose to play gambling than investing because yhey may think that if they gambling only them can decide to their future depends on their way of taking decisions
But still investments are much better compared to gambling , You are right every investments may involved risk but gambling is not an investment , you just risk your money in able to grow it in a fast way which cant be done in long term for sure you would be wrecked compared to investment atleast the profits would come gradually.
