Why is gambling haram?

Quoted from sunnipath:

The risk involved in gambling is outside the control of players, therefore the result of the outcome is a matter of chance. The prohibition of gambling is regardless of the probability of the outcome. The probability of a head or tale when a coin is tossed is 1/2; where as the probability of picking 7 numbered balls out of 50 33232 billion 930 million 569 thousand and 600! (1/33232930569600). Since both these examples are based on chance the ‘odds’ probability on the outcome whether high or low is irrelevant.

Gambling in a more limited sense it means an effort to gain something of value by risking the loss of something of value as a matter of chance.

Does joining a game for a higher return with uncertain outcomes suit the above? Read more at sunnipath.com.
