    Qui-Gon is gambling at much higher stakes, placing the fate of the entire future of the galaxy into the hands of that boy, who Yoda had strongly recommended against being trained. So it’s not that Qui-Gon was against Obi-Wan wanting to gamble, he just wanted him to significantly up his game:-).

      Canonically the actual gamble was qui-gon vs Darth maul. If qui-gon had lived, the universe would have been fine. But he lost, so it was doomed.

      The force on star wars is weird, because if you’re strong enough in the force things are basically fated.

      Anyway, that’s the long reason why the background music during that fight is called “The Duel of Fates”.
