higher risk means higher reward.

This is not about risk. Risk is the chance that you'll lose the spin of the roulette wheel. This is about the casino planting a magnet under the roulette wheel.

When you hire someone to clean your house and he steals your jewelery, people don't say that this was a risk you accepted when you hired someone to clean your house and that you knew a house cleaner might steal.

i dont see how this is "unearned".

When you are willfully blind to how you are being paid an extraordinary amount of money, it is unearned.

i work for my money, i guess this is what you consider "earned" money.
but why not gamble a little?

This is not about gambling. Gambling is when you play roulette. This is about the casino planting a magnet under the roulette wheel. There is a massive difference between gambling and fraud.

When you pay a deposit to buy a car from a dealer, there's a chance the dealer will run off with your deposit. But we don't refer to taking this risk as "gambling".
