Trading and Gambling are both same for me, as both are risky and waste of time, both involves risk of your money, which you can loose at any stage, so its better to stay away from both.
Yes, you are right they are both the same. Similar in that they both attempt to create a capital gain. Trading and gambling involve capital transfer without capital creation they are viewed skeptically, especially when their outcomes are unpredictable.
The difference between on that too is the fastest way to earn capital is on gambling both needs capital but you can earn there consistent income in gambling not unlike in trading you need to choose when your money will be in long run or in short run and it is depends on the coins right?
