This is quite an interesting argument. It is indeed debatable and I guess there is no right or wrong on this one because it is all about perspective. Here is one article to refute that belief.
What's the difference between a risk and a gamble?
In this article, it differentiates between a gamble and a calculated risk, thus making some valid point against OP's point. This is also an interesting read because it clearly differentiates gambling and the daily decision of people taking and was presented as calculated risk.

The problem with calculated risk is, you couldn't control the surprise or unknown risk. It's like flying on an airplane. Everyone makes sure that all of the procedures were met, and everything is under control, yet every time you take a flight, you gamble with 1 in 205,552 probability of losing.
