Gambling and trading have their similarities but hoth are entirely different things, well, for me at least. Both require skills and knowledge to bring home a profit, but gambling has its dependency to luck or odds that doesn't matter much in trading. In trading, there's no such thing as being lucky because everything is calculated and analyzed. You must know how to do market analysis to know whether a coin will pump or dump. You will base the trend on the market flow, the history, and the recent events that influence the movements in the market. You can't just rely on luck because you'll just end up losing your funds or liquidated if you won't think thoroughly.

Contrary to what majority thinks, future trading isn't easy. It won't bring an easy money or success, the same way with gambling.
Futures trading is more difficult than spot trading because it requires more skills in analyzing market movements so if we don't have good analytical skills, we probably won't have the opportunity to make a profit. And if so, it would amount to gambling as we just guess which way the market will move and then trade. But in trading, we can still recover losses, especially if we don't sell the coin at a loss or when the price drops because the price of the coin can increase again after some time at a low price.

Meanwhile, gambling may also require analytical skills and also have the possibility of making a profit, especially if we can have good analytical skills. But as we know, many people only rely on signals from other people, just like people who rely on trading signals from other people. So maybe it is these analytical skills that we have to learn in trading, be it spot or future trading and also in gambling so that we can make a profit.

Depends from the persons perspectives and knowledge, if you have a good understanding with future trade or gambling you may have that chance to win some, especially if you have that good bankroll/money management, where you can set your limits and you are capable of controlling your emotions, both future trade and gambling may work with you, but always remember that big risk to which commonly being neglect by people who are trying to find some luck.

Stepping either inside gambling or future trade will have a big risk with your money, not a good venue for people who are not a fan of having that risk as most of the time they will be control by emotions and possible to lose from time to time.
Everything depends on our understanding of future trading and gambling so that we can make a profit. And I agree that we also have to be able to manage the money well because futures trading and gambling can cause us to lose money in a short time.

As long as you can accept the risk and are willing to learn more, I think you can use gambling and futures trading and maybe even more opportunities to profit in futures trading. But once again, without learning more, we cannot improve our trading or gambling skills.
