The casino has negative expected returns (the house always wins). The market has positive expected returns, by and large. Better gamble there.

On the index, yes, but active picking should expect to lose to the market.

You can lose relative to the market but still come out positive, maybe even beating inflation. There’s still a lot more room there than the net negative expectation of a casino wager.
