I understand  what you are talking about, but we have to also understand that gambling and investing is not the same thing in gambling for taking risk you don't have to think much but in kind of investing you have to think a lot as well you also need that knowledge before investment.
And besides, the risk we take in gambling is only a small amount of risk for entertainment, on the other hand, if we consider it from the perspective of investing, this investment is always large in size. And besides, if the risk of investment is taken with the mentality of taking the risk of gambling, then in most cases there is a possibility of an unsuccessful business.
Yeah, it is what I am saying. They're different story but the principle of taking risk in gambling is both applied in invesing as well. And that's the worth a gambler gets with how risky they are in their bets. They can even take more risk in investments. So, there's no need to expound that much about the difference of it because I agree that they're completely different worlds. But the attitude, approach and principle that someone does as they take risk, they're applicable in different walks of our lives and not just in gambling.

Both gamblers and investors face the same thing when it comes to risk, since there's always a chance of losing money in both. However, gambling often leads to addiction, which is why many people end up broke. Even if a gambler starts by using only money they can afford to lose, once addiction sets in, they might start dipping into their savings and eventually lose everything.
I’m not sure why gambling is so addictive for most people, but for me, I just spend a little money to enjoy the bet.
