While I agree it is gambling, all investing is a 'gamble'. But the stock market is not classified as 'gambling' like going to the boat, racetrack, casino, or your poker game is.

I personally consider the stock market as investing. Just like I consider carefully calculated wagers on something like a race horse or a sports team.

If I put $100 on the Mariners when I am out in Vegas, I am doing it to 'gamble' and watch the game. But when I put dimes on the Cubs against the White Sox, it was an investment becuase I had a huge read on how they were playing, and knew the Cubs would sweep them.

Matter of fact, and this obviously can't be confirmed, but when I was in the WSOP, I asked my table if anyone knew where I could find odds on the Cubs sweeping the White Sox that weekend.
