when you gamble, the house is expected to win so in the end, you’re expected to lose money.

When you invest, stocks typically go up in value in the grand scheme which is why diversifying is recommended. The expected value of this action is to make money.

A lot of people see day-trading as gambling which is a riskier way to work with stocks.
