The stock market is gambling only for fools, while sports betting is gambling for everyone. False equivalence.

It really depends how you use it.

Put your 401k in to a global index and come back in 45 years? Yeah that's a false equivalence.

Take out a bank loan and roll 0DTE options? That's 99% the same as sports gambling for me.
