Dear Saud,
Consider the following sentences:
He is singing. ("Singing" is used as a verb here -- note the presence of the helper verb "is".)
He loves singing. ("Singing" is used as a noun here. To convince yourself, replace singing by any other noun such as "chocolates" and see how it "fits").
In the same way, "gambling" is used as a noun.
--Prasad
