What are your thoughts?
I think that when you talk about gambling you mix things that have nothing to do with each other and therefore your argument is flawed.
Gambling:
Whether it's spinning the roulette wheel, laying down a poker hand, or betting on a horse race, the rush from gambling is undeniable. It's a game of chance, intuition, and sometimes, strategy. The unpredictability and immediate feedback loop can be a thrill.
Betting on horse racing and poker are essentially different from roulette because you can win money in the long run.
Besides, gambling is supposed to be a pastime, not something you take as a job. Trading is the complete opposite of that and you're not supposed to fool around.
This is not the case for horse racing, poker and sports betting, which the OP has not mentioned. For example, do you think Alan Woods shouldn't have taken it as a job?
