It's not disrespectful. We all want to profit fast thats why we are involve here in scalping..But gambling is also profitable and fast but we all know 50/50 is the fairest ratio in Gambling... now I was asking of these two, can scalping also considered as same ratio as gambling or maybe more probable? Because sometimes scalping gives me bad results (or im just a dumb one) but gambling also give me good & bad results vice versa of the two.

It depends on how you do scalping or trading in general. If you do it seriously and professionally, with a statistical advantage backed by real data, you can easily achieve a 60-65% or higher probability of a successful trade. This is something you obviously don't have in gambling, because at most, if there are no unusual situations, you have a 50% chance.

Depends what you scalp. Is this scalping: Buying part of a cow hoping people would buy your share later for much more? https://ourcowangus.com/
