The difference is that in a casino you loose on average. In stock market, you win on average. Not to mention that stock market is much more a game of skill than game of chance (as is most of casino games). I did very well in stock market and I don't feel like I'm gambling. I recognize there is risk and I lost money on some investments but I can usually pin point the reason I lost. It's not random.
