Trading is much better and safer than gambling. Because you can really lose a lot of money with it and that is the problem.
I hope that more money will trade and stop with gambling because you can be poor of gambling and that is very bad.
Trading for long term perspective is much safer option to make money than gambling. In gambling either you make money or lose money instantly but in trading you will not lose all your money instantly but it will give you a chance to withdraw some potion of your money, if you monitor your investments. I make money in trading than gambling but I always go for long in trading.
