Well at the first place its safer and you can also make more money, gambling is really based on luck and you can than also lose everything at once.
The possibility of losing in gambling are higher but then you can win a lot of money gambling and it is really based on luck ,you might win some you can lose some but if you can hit the jackpot then it is going to be a good return .I have seen people trying 9900x in dice and i have seen people hitting it too. So greater the risks the wins will be sweet.
