MONEY is the riskiest of all risk!! They tell you to take the riskiest gambling with your life.
I do not understand what you are trying to convey here because except money, how you are going to risk in economic way? Because, in our financial life, we measure all the actions and efforts in money value then risking in money also makes sense. Hence, risking in money may not be considered as gambling. Gambling is something else where you risk purely based on your luck (which is beyond our efforts and control).
