Honestly both are very same in this case. If you are doing trading without any analysis at the back then it's more or less just like gambling. Coming to which could bring more thrill. I think trading would bring more because the outcomes are more, in gambling comparetively the outcomes are less instead.
Doing trading without analysis or without continuous research on the market will always end up being very ridiculous, because a job like trading is a job that really requires special knowledge and understanding of the market in order to get better and maximum results. So if there are people who like to trade without doing analysis or research and also don't have any knowledge about trading, that is called recklessness and is not a good thing to do. And another parable is as you said, which is not much different from gambling.
