Harlowe syntax help

So I'm trying to make a statement that only displays one option if the variable is less than 10, otherwise if the variable is 10 or above it displays another option. But for some reason it only ever displays the options under the else statement. I'm using Harlowe, the problem probably has something to do with the syntax and my lack of knowledge.

(if: $gold is < 10)[ [["Gambling is not my forte, but I'll watch."]]
]
(else:)[ [["Gambling is not my forte, but I'll watch."]]

[["Maybe just a little bit."(Lose 10 gold pieces)]]
]

If anyone could help me out I'd really appreciate it.
