I don't really see putting your money in an index fund as "gambling" more than buying investment properties Individual stock picking absolutely is gambling though

From what i understand real estate generally isnt that good of an investment if you want to actually make money. It's good if you want to live in your house. Houses dont generally go up in value outside of market forces and take a lot of effort and money to maintain.

Right, it's a consumption decision, not an investment decision (it's making a bet you'll be staying in one place long enough that you'll be saving money over the cost of rent and gaining the benefit of not having a landlord) Not saying it's a BAD decision but it's not investment
