Starting a Business vs. Gambling

I’ve been giving a lot of thought lately to the concept of risk. I am currently planning to launch a real-world commercial business, and the deeper I get into the planning phase, the more I realize how many parallels it shares with gambling.
It made me wonder Is starting a business just a socially acceptable form of high-stakes gambling?
Here is how I see the comparison, and I’d love to get the community's perspective on this:
Risk Management vs. House Edge
• In Gambling: You calculate the odds, accept the house edge, and manage your bankroll to survive variance.
• In Business: You conduct market research, evaluate competitors, and manage your capital. However, instead of a house edge,you face market volatility, inflation, and changing consumer behavior.
The Illusion of Control
• In Gambling: Poker players rely on skill, but a bad beat can ruin a perfect strategy. Sports bettors analyze stats, but a single referee decision can spoil the bet.
• In Business: You can have the perfect business plan, the best suppliers, and great marketing, but an unexpected economic shift can completely wipe you out.
The Psychological Toll
Both require a specific mindset; the ability to handle financial stress, the discipline not to chase losses when a project fails, and knowing when to cut your losses.

For those of you who are experienced gamblers, investors, or entrepreneurs:
• Do you look at business ventures through the same lens as a calculated bet?
• Where do you draw the line between a calculated entrepreneurial risk and pure gambling?
Would love to hear your thoughts, especially from those who have transitioned from gambling to running a business or vice versa!!!
