Investing is putting money into (hopefully) productive use, like a company with revenue, in an expectation of a return.

Gambling is basically redistributing money according to a random numbers generator, It's a negative sum game (because the house takes its fee), but a surprise positive spike game. That spike forms an addiction in the less fortunate.
