Both are risky but differ when it comes to the losses. Because when you are trading, you only lose if you sell the coin without profiting from them or you got scared when you bought the coin at a low price and the coin is constantly dumping and can't wait for the coin to pump and sell them then that is already a loss but you can still buy a new coin with a much low price and wait for it to pump to make profit while in gambling once you deposit a certain amount and when you loose everything in gambling, 99% are your chances that you can't win back the amount you lost.
Good point. When you are just doing exchange and not margin, you only lose when you sell a coin that you bought at a higher price than the price you will sell it. However, if you keep on holding it, you are not still losing and may have the potential of profiting of you just hold a little longer and there is a price increase.
