....advantage play as gambling. Craps, Slots...etc is gambling. I am 'investing' (through hard work and lots of practice).

Whether you win or not or have an advantage or not... it's still gambling because there is still a risk. A lot of compulsive gamblers call what they do "investing" to justify their gambling sickness and to enable their denial of said sickness.
I've never heard a compulsive gambler call it "investing". More likely they rationalize it as entertainment.
"..it's still gambling because there is still a risk."
This line alone could be the topic of endless hours of debate. I will, however, pass the opportunity by...I must head off to work now for another full day of 'gambling', and I am not even heading to the casinos.

By that definition, getting out of bed in the morning is gambling.
For the most part, advantage play, at least successful advantage play, requires entirely too much discipline for a compulsive gambler to have any success at it.
Besides, compulsive gamblers seem to enjoy losing. When they win, they immediately gamble it away.
