CMV: DFS sites like Fanduel are no different than the stock market and should not be banned

Sites like DraftKings and Fanduel are daily fantasy sports sites where you compile a team of players that you think will do well on any given day, and put your lineups against other players. These sites are being labeled as gambling games that require no skill and are being banned by a number of states. My question is, how are these sites any different from the stock market? Just like with athletes, all you can do with stocks is proper research and try to predict which stocks will perform well, there is no guarantee no matter how "skilled" you are. I don't see selections in the stock market being truly different from fantasy sports, both are left to complete chance, all you can do is research.  CMV. 

Edit: Thank you to all who commented! I did not previously see the difference between a bet and an investment, and my view has definetly been changed.

Though investing does look like gambling, there is a major difference. When you by stock, you're actually investing in a company. That company uses your money to finance projects, acquire assets, etc., that creates additional money. Depending if the project succeeds or fails, your investment might grow or shrink, but it's still an investment and not a gamble.

Betting on sports outcomes is nothing like that. Investing in a team would mean that you are paying for new equipment or new coaches or something with the promise that if the team wins you make some money back. But, that's not what sports betting is. The team doesn't see any benefit, only your shady bookie.
